    The best!!

    Hiring Jeff was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the moment we saw him tagged in a photo from a previous wedding at our venue, we could just tell he was a kind person. We immediately felt comfortable when we met him in person, which is exactly what you want from an officiant. He walked us through the whole ceremony structure, highlighted special rituals we could add (providing each of our mothers with a rose), and really made us feel comfortable about it all. We especially loved that Jeff has his couples write a short love story that he can recite during the ceremony to ensure it's personal and tailored to each couple. We couldn't recommend Jeff more! (I wish we had a better photo to post but we wanted to rave about Jeff ASAP!)

    Absolute Rockstar!

    People raved about Jeff after our wedding ended. We are so glad we had him support us for our big day. I was always a bit skeptical like do we hire someone or have a friend/family member do it (I’m sentimental) and he just totally confirmed having a professional officiant was beyond the right choice. If you ever need anything we are here for you! Thanks Jeff. It was beautiful.

    The best officiant ever ⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯⭐︯

    My Husband and I are from different religious backgrounds so we didn’t know who would officiate our wedding. We reached out to our catering company (24 Carrots) for recommendations and that’s when we were introduced to Jeff. Upon meeting Jeff for the first time, he was extremely personable and kind. We instantly felt comfortable with him and booked him the same day we met him. Fast forward to our wedding, he showed up early which is appreciated and took the time to check in with me to talk about details. I remember feeling SO nervous and anxious while I was getting my makeup done but Jeff really lightened up the mood with his humor. His positive energy was much needed and appreciated! He is a natural at what he does. Our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving about how awesome he was and how truly special he made the wedding ceremony. Standing at the alter with my Husband and Jeff felt like we were being officiated by an uncle! I’ll never forget when I started to get extremely emotional during our vows and Jeff looks at me and asks if I’m doing okay. Jeff understands the emotional roller coaster a Bride and Groom goes through on their big day so for him to stop in his tracks just to make sure we were okay was so meaningful to us! Thank you Jeff, you really made our day!

    Best Wedding Officiant!

    Jeff Tackett was our wedding officiant at Casa Romantica. Jeff took the time to meet with us in person and discuss how my husband and I met, our religious/spiritual beliefs and what we wanted in our ceremony. Jeff is kind, relatable and professional. My husband and I could tell Jeff truly cares about the couples he works with. He took care of our marriage license paperwork and helped us through the process. We loved our ceremony and enjoyed the humor Jeff added. Jeff even made sure to move to the side for our personal vows and first kiss. He really knows what he is doing! Thank you Jeff for being our wedding officiant!

    Awesome! Professional!

    Good communication with us. Meet us before the wedding to talk about what we wanted. He is a professional! I even noticed after the wedding he moved out of the way for pictures so we could have our first kiss and pictures with just my husband and I. Jeff knows what he is doing!

    Jeff is the best!

    Jeff made our lives so easy! Our ceremony actually ended up being my favorite part of the entire wedding day, which was perfect from start to finish, so that’s saying a lot. Jeff was so accommodating of our special circumstances and so attentive throughout the entire process. We adored him!

    Jeff is the absolute best!!!! We loved working with Jeff and we are so happy that he was apart of our wedding day. Jeff was so easy to work with, was very responsive and very knowledgeable. We met Jeff at a Starbucks to get to know him and you can tell right away how much he loves what he does and how passionate he is for his work. Jeff went all the way from OC to Temecula for our Vineyard wedding, showed up on time, performed and unforgettable ceremony and took care of the marriage license paperwork for us. All of our guests couldn't stop telling us how great our ceremony was because it was so heartfelt, personalized to my husband and I, and how great Jeff was! We would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an officiant in the SoCal area!

    Jeff Tackett officiated my wedding in June of 2017. I really enjoyed our meeting prior to the wedding. You could tell that this time was important to him and he took the time to get to know you and your relationship to tie that into the special day. We both loved creating our paragraph of our love story and thought that it really added something special to our ceremony. Our ceremony was very well written and well performed; he included everything that we had asked for in the ceremony. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and how special and personal it was and it wouldn’t have been the same without Jeff! I would highly recommend Jeff as your officiant; he is easy to work with, stays true to your wishes and made our day really special.

    We chose Jeff as our officiant and were SO happy with our decision! Jeff is so very personable and just makes you feel comfortable and at ease when around him. When we met with him the first time he explained kind of his process of a ceremony and different ways we can add personal touches to the ceremony. Jeff was great when we both kept changing parts of the ceremony last minute, reassuring us that this was not a problem. The day of our wedding I saw Jeff before the ceremony and he again was just great to be around, keeping the feeling serene. Right before walking down the aisle my now-husband was extremely anxious and Jeff helped to calm him with some wise words. He did a beautiful ceremony, explaining marriage, making some light jokes, and read a scripture reading as we had asked him. We would 100% recommend Jeff as your wedding officiant - he was great!

    Jeff was a fantastic officiant who spoke well, was extremely charismatic and personable, and a great person to include in our wedding! Everyone at our wedding was very impressed with him. He incorporated humor, making the ceremony very natural and flow well. We loved Jeff!

    Jeff was an absolutely amazing officiant. Our ceremony was written and performed so beautifully; our family was so impressed. He was extremely flexible planning with me, responded well to my emails and texts, and was overall very helpful. My husband and I are not from California, so he helped us make planning a destination elopement very simple. I would definitely recommend Jeff as an officiant for any wedding ceremony.

    Jeff was wonderful, we wanted something a little different and less formal than his regular ceremony structure and he delivered. He listened to what we wanted and made the ceremony really special, making it personal while still keeping it short and sweet (per our request). I would definitely recommend using him!!

    Our wedding planner told us to use Jeff Tackett as our officiant and we are SO glad we did! My (now) husband and I met him at Starbucks in Dana point and from the get go he was professional, personable, and very easy-going. He got to know us in about 15 minutes and it was the perfect amount of information that he gleaned to make us feel comfortable having him marry us. We thought we would have to do the work to plan our ceremony, however Jeff came to our meeting with a flexible step by step plan, asked us our opinion, and tailored it to our liking. He introduced great ideas for our ceremony, such as the knot-tying, gifting a rose to each of our mothers, and writing our own stories of what our wedding means to us. Our guests kept telling us all night how much they enjoyed our ceremony and how unique and personal it was. Jeff is extremely skilled in speaking in front of a huge crowd and also very aware of photography and where to position himself. He made my husband and I feel SO comfortable during the ceremony (a time that my husband and I were both nervous about). Not to mention he is a good looking dude! You will be happy you hired him!!

    Jeff did an amazing job at our ceremony. He really made it a personal experience for our friends and families. We had so many compliments on our personalized ceremony. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. He was also very friendly and helpful with planning out what message we wanted to share with everyone. We highly recommend Jeff.

    I would highly recommend Jeff Tackett as a wedding officiant! He is so professional yet easy going. We felt so at ease with him from the first time we met to or wedding day. Our ceremony was felt intimate & heartfelt and the perfect length for our guests. There were moments of humor and tears and lots of our guests have commented on how nice our ceremony was. Don't hesitate with booking Jeff as your officiant. I am sure he will do a wonderful job for you too! Thank you, Jeff!

    was an absolute dream to work with. LOOK NO FURTHER!!!!! We didn’t know where to start with finding the right officiant for us. We started by watching videos of officiants and they all seemed to be quite boring and stale. We met with Jeff to find that he was the total opposite of everyone else and we knew he was a perfect match for us! He was very thoughtful and kind throughout the whole process. During out first meeting he asked us several questions and walked us through everything we needed to know. It was amazing! We hugged him at the end of our meting because we knew he was the perfect guy to make us official! He made our ceremony very personal and all about us. We received several compliments about him after the wedding, too! Rest assured when booking Jeff, he is the best officiant around. HE IS AMAZING!

    My husband and I had been looking for an officiant for a while. Most of them requested us to take premarital counseling, with our busy schedules we couldn't do this. Not to say this isn't a good idea, but we did not have the time or the money. We finally found Jeff and we both knew he was the officiant we had been looking for. The homework he had us do was fun for us both. When it came down to the ceremony it was as if Jeff had known us for years! He talked about everything we wanted him too, he made us feel totally comfortable up there. Really nice guy and everyone loved our ceremony!

    We couldn't have been happier with the services Jeff provided as the officiant for our wedding. He was very professional, highly accommodating and just overall easy to work with. His delivery of the ceremony was top notch and we received several compliments accordingly from guests. We highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an officiant.

    Jeff was awesome! We didn't want to have to write and recite our own vows (I figured I would be way too emotional and crying) so he suggested we write a little love story together, and then he read it for us! Thanks Jeff!

    We reached out to Jeff on short notice as we just were not comfortable with the officiant we had originally chosen. Choosing Jeff was the best decision we made for our wedding. He was professional, funny, comforting, handsome, and above all, made our ceremony reflect us as a couple. We couldn't be happier with his services and we recommend him to anyone!

    Jeff was awesome to work with! We booked him for our wedding back in October at the Chart House in Dana Point. We were able to meet with him right away to discuss logistics and other details. Jeff was very accommodating and overall a nice man! My husband and I liked the fact that he was neither too serious, nor too goofy. He cracked jokes here and there during the ceremony, but at the same time was professional. Would highly recommend Jeff!
