Rabbi in Newport

Hey Everyone!

We're getting married in Newport in May and are looking for rabbi recommendations. We are not super religious, and would like to have a simple Jewish ceremony. We will likely have to do the ceremony before sunset, so if anyone knows of a reformed Rabbi that would be willing to marry us on a Saturday before sundown, please let me know!

Also, does anyone know what the average fee charged?

Thank you!

    We used Rabbi Lev Baesh from Interfaithfamily.com.  I believe his fee was around $1000.  He is actually located in Boston but he traveled to Newport for our wedding.  Everyone raved about how great he was as an officiant.  We also had an ex-catholic priest and we thought Rabbi Lev was a much, much better officiant.

    We are using Ethan Adler who does a Jewish ceremony, but is not a rabbi. He the leader of a congregation in Naragansett. He is super nice and flexible. He charges $500.
