Co-officiation:
Rabbi Bogage would be honored to co-officiate
at your wedding. He will work with you and the other clergy to craft
a ceremony that is true to your belief system and comfortable for
your families.
Rabbi
Bogage understands the myriad of challenges that exist when you
wish to create a ceremony that honors two faiths. He can help you
navigate this path in a way that will be meaningful and relevant,
and result in a ceremony that is true to who you are as a couple.
Rabbi
Bogage has years of experience working with couples from a variety
of backgrounds. He has officiated at countless weddings for both
Jewish and interfaith couples and brings with him a wealth of creative
ideas for making your inter-faith wedding unique.
If
you need a recommendation for a Christian clergy, he has a minister
with whom he works frequently. Their combined weddings are seamless
and inclusive.
If
you or your fiancee are Jewish and you are looking for a rabbi who
will co-officiate with a priest, minister or other clergy, Rabbi
Bogage may be able to help you.
Frequently
Asked Questions:
Q: What are the Rabbi's requirements for performing an interfaith
wedding with a co-officiant?
A: Nothing! No classes, no book lists, and no synagogue dues. (Although
he doesn't object to those!) For Rabbi Bogage, its enough
that you want to have Judaism at you wedding, and he wants to make
that possible for you.
Q:
How will we get to know the Rabbi?
A: The Rabbi meets with you for two to three hours
before your wedding ceremony.
Q:
What if we live out of town or don’t have time
for meetings?
A: Many of the Rabbi Bogage's wedding clients live
out of town and even overseas. You might choose to fly in for one
extended meeting, or do the work by Skype or phone.The most important
work can be done over the phone, in two sessions.
Q:
Will Rabbi Bogage perform ceremonies on Shabbat?
A: Rabbi Bogage will perform
a ceremony on Shabbat at the time of your choosing.
Q:
What are the Fees?
A: Rabbi Bogage's fees represent the time and attention
he gives to each couple. Ceremonies with co-officiation take a little
more time than when a clergy person works alone. Rabbi Bogage will
spend approximately twelve hours preparing for each wedding. This
includes meetings with the couples, meeting with the other clergy
person, writing a personalized ceremony and officiating at the ceremony.

Q:
Will Rabbi Bogage travel out of State or to other Countries?
Rabbi Bogage is willing to travel outside of Boulder
and Denver to perform weddings, although the fees do increase to
account for the additional time required to travel.
Q:How
does the payment process work?
A: Wedding couples pay a 50% deposit to hold the wedding date. The
final 50% will be charged on the day of your wedding. We accept
Visa and MasterCard.
| What
Brides Say About Our Co-Officiation Wedding Ceremonies With
Non-Jewish Clergy: |
Dear
Rabbi Bogage,
David and I are so blessed to have found you!
We
searched everywhere to find a rabbi who would marry us at
a wedding alongside my childhood minister.
As you know, we are willing to have Judaism be part of our
children's lives, but the way all the rabbis said, "No!"
when we asked them to marry us, we started to wonder if we
wanted to have any Judaism in our lives at all.
When
we heard out about you we were so relieved. The wedding was
perfect in every way. Thank you for making our guests feel
so welcome and included.
- Mary |
