Rev. Jude Smith - Interfaith Minister

Rev. Jude Smith is a non-denominational Interfaith Minister and civil wedding officiant based in Rhinebeck, New York. She regularly serves couples within a two-hour radius, including all boroughs of New York City, northern New Jersey, Connecticut, the Berkshires of Massachusetts, and the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains. Rev. Smith's ceremonies range from completely secular to more spiritual, designed for couples of all faiths, preferences, and spiritual paths—especially those who feel spiritual but not religious. She works closely with couples to co-create ceremonies that reflect their unique love story, guiding them through the possibilities to craft a meaningful experience. Rev. Smith welcomes all wedding sizes, from intimate elopements and microweddings to larger celebrations, ensuring each ceremony is both meaningful and transformative. For couples blending traditions, cultures, and religions, she brings unique qualifications: she reads and speaks Hebrew with authenticity and draws on her own long-term Interfaith marriage experience. This background enables her to bring together families from different backgrounds in ways that are inclusive and easily embraced by all attendees.
