Perfect!

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!

Made Our Wedding Truly Unforgettable

Rabbi Kaplan was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the months leading up to our wedding, he took the time to truly get to know us, guide us, and make the process meaningful rather than overwhelming. On our wedding day, he was everything we could have hoped for. Calm, thoughtful, warm, and deeply personal. The ceremony felt intimate, intentional, and completely us. So many of our guests commented on how special and moving it was. Rabbi Kaplan played a huge role in making our wedding the most meaningful day of our lives, and we are beyond grateful.

Heatter Wedding 10.19.25

Rabbi Kaplan went above and beyond in officiating our wedding ceremony. After a few meetings, we quickly became familiar with each other and our story. He made sure to touch on each of our faiths since my husband is Jewish and I am Christian. Rabbi Kaplan made us both feel at ease on our big day and our guests thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful ceremony! Can't recommend enough!!!

Amazing!!!

Rabbi Kaplan officiated our wedding in Boca Raton and he was absolutely amazing. My husband is Jewish and I am Christian and during the wedding planning, he explained all of the amazing Jewish traditions that we had during the ceremony. He also did a FABULOUS job explaining what the Jewish traditions symbolized to my family during the ceremony so everyone could understand. We are so honored he was our Rabbi and he absolutely made our ceremony even more beautiful than it already was!

Best Rabbi in South Florida!

We feel so lucky to have had our wedding officiated by such a wonderful rabbi. From the start, Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan was incredibly responsive and took the time to truly get to know my now-husband and I as a couple. He asked thoughtful questions to understand our relationship, values, and family dynamics during our meetings with him leading up to our wedding day.

We wanted a very intimate, romantic, and heartfelt wedding ceremony... and he delivered beyond our expectations! Many guests told us it was the most touching ceremony they had witnessed.

Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan even provided us ketubah design options to be printed and ready on our wedding day, which was such a thoughtful detail. We highly recommend him to any couple looking for a kind-hearted, personable, and caring rabbi!

Unforgettable Ceremony

We were lucky enough to have Rabbi Kaplan marry us at our May 2025 wedding at PGA National Resort. It was great getting to know him the month's leading up to our wedding and we even had a lovely in person meeting with him a couple weeks beforehand to go over ceremony details. Rabbi Kaplan provided us with plenty of guidance and all the information we could possibly need from obtaining the marriage license to the ceremony traditions/logistics etc. He helped us with the Ketubah and thoroughly explained every detail. The ceremony was beautifully written and guests haven't stopped raving about it. We are so grateful our wedding planner found him for us and we would recommend him to anyone getting married! Thank you Rabbi Kaplan for such an unforgettable, touching and personable ceremony we will forever cherish.

Mr&Mrs Noble

We were introduced to Rabbi Kaplan by a mutual
friend . Given our short window timeline we were in a pinch to secure a Rabbi for our upcoming beach ceremony .
Rabbi Kaplan made it happen ! The entire experience from our pre wedding introduction through every step on what to expect on wedding day was first class . The ceremony was beautiful and we are still hearing from guests “what an amazing Rabbi “
He delivered a heartfelt message translating Jewish tradition that resonated with everyone.

Thank you again for being a part of our special day!

The best!

We truly don’t have the words to express how grateful we are for the beautiful ceremony Rabbi Kaplan led on our wedding day. From the very beginning of the ketubah signing, he created a space that felt warm, meaningful, and sacred. His presence brought so much heart and sincerity to the experience—it's something we’ll carry with us for the rest of our lives.

The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for and more. It felt deeply personal and uniquely us. Rabbi Kaplan included our families so thoughtfully and honored the memory of our loved ones in a way that was both spiritual and deeply human. It was perfect.

So many of our guests have reached out to say how moved they were by the ceremony and how special it felt—that’s all thanks to Rabbi Kaplan.

If you’re looking for someone who brings warmth, intention, and authenticity to your big day, we can’t recommend him enough. We feel so lucky to have had him by our side and look forward to celebrating more simchas together in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
