Joel was absolutely perfect! He made everything go so smoothly for us and was more than accommodating with our requests. He felt like an old friend. He made both of us comfortable and took a lot of pressure off of us. Such a sweet and genuine person! He said that he’s had over 30 years of experience, so he really knows what he’s doing. Great job, I would truly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!

My wife and I got eloped on Honeymoon Island the day of Hurricane Dorian's landfall however we lucked out with perfect weather. Joel was part of an inclusive wedding elopement package offered by the Island and was absolutely perfect. My wife and I are both wedding officiants in the midwest so we were very particular and he accomodated us through every step. I would hire him again if I was doing this all over again. 10/10 would recommend.

Joel was awesome!! He had a great personality and helped ease all concerns and stress. He gave us a simple non denominational service. All our guests commented on how good he was. we were so happy we chose him,as officiant's are hard to decide on.

Joel Kaplan was a wonderful officiant for our wedding in Clearwater, FL. We wanted someone experienced so they wouldn't be heads-down reading line for line. We wanted someone with character, charm and a light sense of humor. We wanted someone who would be flexible since it was a Russian-American ceremony. Joel fit this perfectly and was a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Joel to anyone doing a wedding in the Clearwater, St. Pete, Tampa Bay area. Thanks Joel!
