I agree, its up to you, whatever you feel comfortable with.
We're going with a judge because we're both not religious and most importantly didn't cave to any family pressure, which can get intense

Re: Question for Interfaith Weddings

we didn't have an officiant from either faith, we had an interfaith minister who incorporated things from each of our religions.

That's what we're doing too.

We are only having a priest, but it won't be overly religious - as it's in our RH. But if you want a priest and a rabbi - our priest does interfaith ceremonies. He's amazing - Monsignor James Lisante of St. Thomas in West Hempstead.

I went to his interfaith pre cana with Rabbi Blauch (spelling?). It was incredibaly informative for wedding purposes and child-rearing.

I'm going with an old law school prof (who was also an ex-administrative law judge).

He's doing it as a personal favor (free), unfortunately he does not rent out his services.

Although before he offered I did post asking for suggestions and got some good responses. I'm sure you can find the thread through a search

Re: Question for Interfaith Weddings

I am Catholic and FH is Jewish. We are having the priest that married my parents and my older brother and his wife. We were originally planning to have a priest and a rabi, but we figured the priest is a special person to us and that's why we chose him, not b/c of a specific faith, and that was enough.
