Rabbi Sanford Olshansky
Warm, welcoming wedding ceremonies for Jewish couple and interfaith couples.
Exclusive DealAbout Rabbi Sanford Olshansky
I perform customized, personalized wedding ceremonies for Jewish couples and interfaith couples (one Jewish and one not Jewish). Couples and their families, of all faiths, tell me consistently that my ceremony was a beautiful and meaningful part of their special day. If you choose me to officiate, I’ll want to meet with you 3 times, so I can speak about you personally and customize the ceremony, so it works for you and your families.
My ceremonies run 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the options you choose. I explain everything that is happening in the ceremony. I’m pretty flexible about what can be included or removed. I chant the Hebrew portions using modern melodies and translate everything as we go along. I have some Spanish capability and, of course, I’m fluent in Hebrew.
While most of my weddings are in the greater Orlando area, I’ve officiated throughout Central Florida, from Stuart to Ormond Beach. Venues at which I’ve officiated range from private clubs to some of Florida’s largest and finest resorts.
If you’re considering me for your officiant, we would meet first, in person or by Zoom, without obligation on your part, to find out if we’re a good fit for each other. I include some “light” counseling and am glad to participate in a rehearsal for an additional fee.
Services Offered
I provide customized, personalized wedding ceremonies, usually developed over 3 meetings, in person or by Zoom. I do some “light” pre-martial counseling and am open to after-marriage meetings. I will participate in a rehearsal for an additional fee.

What current trends have you seen at weddings?
Most couples do their own planning with very little parental involvement. Many couples want to do something distinctly different from what others have done. There is growing ethnic diversity within couples, in addition to different religious backgrounds. The average marriage age is starting to get younger, after peaking at about 30 a few years ago.
What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?
Look at lots of venues online. Narrow down your search. Choose one that really fits your style.
Rabbi Sanford (Sandy) Olshansky
I’m a “second career” rabbi. I was ordained in 2011 after 4 years of intensive study in both the Reform and Conservative traditions. Previously, I worked in corporate business for 35 years. From 2008 to 2013, I served as the “second rabbi” of a large synagogue in New Jersey and was also head of education there. I taught for 11 years at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando. I’m a member of the Central Conference of American Rabbis, the Reform rabbinical association.
