New Member Information for Getting Married at CBST
All those who wish to schedule a wedding with a CBST affiliated Rabbi must be a member at the time of scheduling. Because of the variety of factors that must be considered including calendars, no particular rabbi can be guaranteed by any couple wishing to have a wedding. CBST's administrative staff will work closely with our members to match couples and rabbis based on schedules, prior relationships and similar factors.
Members who have been members for less than 2 years must pay a $1000 fee to cover the cost of the clergy participation.
