We used Rabbi Kaplan for our wedding in May 2024. We live in NY and wanted to get married in Florida, so we weren't connected to any Rabbi. We reached out in Florida facebook groups and he came highly recommended by many. We spoke to a few rabbis and chose to go with Rabbi Kaplan since he made us feel the most comfortable, he was super accommodating and cooperative. We loved his vibe and the love we felt through the phone without ever meeting him prior. We felt like we knew each other him for years - that’s the type of guy he is.
Throughout the process, he checked in with us and kept us informed with all the steps we had to take before the wedding. He was also super accommodating with any requests we had to make our ceremony be the way we pictured. We felt comfortable to share our wants/the flavor we wanted without feeling judgement (felt judged from other Rabbis about our wishes/thoughts).
And then on the wedding day, he was absolutely incredible. Our ketubah signing was beautiful - explained the religious aspect behind it but explained it in a way we understood and kept it light and simple. Our ceremony was everything we wanted - beautiful, loving, warm, and to the point. We did our own personal vows with the traditional vows. He was super supportive of that and since that was going to take up a good amount of time of the ceremony, he kept the other parts short and sweet. We couldn’t recommend him enough! Everyone told us how beautiful our ceremony was and we give a lot of that credit to Rabbi Kaplan - he truly set that stage. And we are proud to say we plan to keep a relationship with him post our wedding.
If your questioning who to use, we would recommend setting up a time to meet with him and then you will understood why we chose him! His love and care radiates when you meet him!

Rabbi Kaplan officiated our wedding on January 18, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was truly fantastic—thoughtful, humorous, and incredibly kind. From the beginning, he listened carefully to our unique requests, educated us on tradition, and showed great flexibility where he could. His calming presence on the big day helped everything feel smooth and stress-free, and his humor added just the right touch of lightheartedness to the ceremony. We are so grateful for his guidance and care throughout the process, and we would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a rabbi for their special day!

Professional, sincere, kind and a joy to work with! Would recommend Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan to everyone! Thanks again for a special ceremony Rabbi!
