We truly could not have asked for a better Rabbi to officiate our wedding ceremony. From the very beginning, Rabbi Jacobs was incredibly personable, welcoming, kind, and so easy to connect with. Planning a ceremony that brought together two different religions was extremely important to us, and Rabbi Jacobs did such a beautiful job of honoring and incorporating both faiths in a way that felt meaningful, thoughtful, and completely natural.
Rabbi Jacobs made sure that both of our backgrounds were represented and respected, while creating a ceremony that still felt uniquely like *us*. Nothing felt forced or overly formal. Instead, the ceremony was warm, personal, heartfelt, and filled with the perfect amount of humor. Rabbi Jacobs had us laughing, smiling, and truly present in the moment, which made an already special day even more memorable.
One of the biggest compliments we can give is how many of our guests have continued to talk about Rabbi Jacobs after the wedding. We had family and friends from both religious backgrounds tell us how lovely the ceremony was and how much they enjoyed him. So many people commented on how personable, funny, welcoming, and engaging Rabbi Jacobs was.
Bringing two religions and two families together in one ceremony could not have been handled more beautifully. Rabbi Jacobs created an atmosphere where everyone felt included, regardless of their faith or background, while still honoring the traditions that were important to each of us.
We are incredibly grateful that Rabbi Jacobs was such an important part of our wedding day. Our ceremony is something we will always remember, and we cannot recommend him highly enough to any couple especially those planning an interfaith wedding. Rabbi Jacobs truly made our ceremony feel like a celebration of not only our marriage, but of our families, traditions, and the life we are building together.

Rabbi Glenn is great!

Working with Rabbi Glenn was great! He made us feel at ease and comfortable under the chuppah and during the ketubah signing. He has a calm and warm presence and was able to go with the flow to make our ceremony feel extra special. Thank you Rabbi Glenn!

Perfect Ceremony with Rabbi Jacobs!

Rabbi Glenn Jacobs made our wedding ceremony at Wave Resort absolutely perfect. He crafted such a personal and heartfelt ceremony that so many of our guests thought he had been our rabbi since childhood! He beautifully included all of the Jewish traditions that were meaningful to us, and the tone, flow, and length were all spot on. And the ketubah signing was incredibly moving and elegant, and included all of our family.

Rabbi Jacobs made the entire process completely seamless from start to finish. We received so many compliments from guests about how special and genuine the ceremony felt — it truly reflected us as a couple. One of our friends liked it so much they’re planning to book him for their own wedding!

We couldn’t recommend Rabbi Glenn Jacobs more highly. He brought warmth, sincerity, and professionalism to every moment. Thank you!

Exceptional rabbi!

Rabbi Glenn is truly exceptional. We asked him to officiate our daughter’s batmizvah and most recently our parents 50th wedding anniversary vow renewal ceremony. Both services were wonderful. Rabbi Glenn has a gentle and kind presence. And when he speaks and recites the prayers and sings- he commands attention from all. He is very flexible and responsive. He works with the families and is very accommodating. We highly recommend him and will ask him to officiate our future events in a heartbeat!

Highly recommend!

We can't thank Rabbi Jacobs enough for the absolutely beautiful job he did officiating our wedding. The ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more. It was deeply meaningful, full of warmth and humor, and such a perfect blend of Jewish tradition with inclusive language and context that made it accessible to guests of all backgrounds.

From the moment the ceremony ended and throughout the rest of the night, so many of our guests came up to us to share how incredible they thought he was. We felt it ourselves while standing under the chuppah. It was truly something special.

We are so grateful Rabbi Jacobs was part of our day. His presence, words, and thoughtful approach made the ceremony unforgettable, and it’s something we’ll cherish forever.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
