Fantastic in Every Respect!

Jeff was absolutely spectacular in every single respect. He set the tone for the ceremony perfectly. The ceremony was dignified and personal, joyful and sweet. Our guests were shocked that we had found Jeff online--they thought for sure he must have been an old friend because of how wonderful the ceremony was.

Working with Jeff was also a pleasure. We had only a pretty vague idea of what we wanted the ceremony to look like, but Jeff made it easy and even fun to build a ceremony that ultimately felt extremely personal to us. He was prompt and professional in communication. We knew we were in excellent hands right away. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Just what we were looking for!

Jeff was exactly what we were looking for - super communicative, flexible, and warm, he made creating a wedding ceremony that felt just like us easy and hit all the right notes. Our guests raved about our ceremony and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire wedding weekend for us as well.

Jeff G was amazing!

Jeff G was an amazing officiant. Very easy to contact, has great resources for a lot of different ceremonies and did a great job with our crowd. It was a pleasure to be married by him and I would recommend him to anyone! Especially any interfaith relationships like ours!

Terrific Officiant!

I can't say enough good things about Jeff! From Day One of planning, he was organized and helpful, funny and kind. My husband and I did not give him a lot to work with, as we were unsure of what we wanted for our ceremony; but Jeff gave us a heap of options in a easy to follow PDF and he really walked us through the whole process. At the last minute, I asked if he could do a rehearsal and he quickly changed his schedule to join us--my family was running late but Jeff was early and super laid back about needing to wait for the late arrivals. On the actual wedding day, I can honestly say Jeff made our ceremony one of the best moments of my life. Again, Jeff was super punctual but also really relaxed--he's def a calming presence if you are anxious. My husband and I were super nervous but Jeff made everyone laugh and (eventually) cry (with joy, of course) He couldn't have been more gracious about rolling with some of the punches and he even helped us with the whole wedding license logistics. Everyone talked about how lovely the ceremony was and I highly recommend Jeff for your wedding!

An excellent choice to officiate our wedding

Jeff went above and beyond with making sure our ceremony was tailored specifically for us. Not a single thing was pushed on us, and he provided an abundance of ideas from his service book to help us along if we needed anything.

Jeff was very professional throughout the entire planning process, and I would recommend his services to anybody who asks me for a recommendation!

Best officiant!!

Jeff was absolutely amazing. He always responded to questions super fast and was always very helpful. He arrived to both our rehearsal and ceremony extra early to make sure everything went smoothly. He truly got to know us and made the ceremony so special. We HIGHLY recommend!!

So glad we hired Jeff to officiate our fusion ceremony!

We chose Jeff to officiate our wedding vs. a friend or family member because we were planning to integrate both Catholic and Hindu ceremonial elements. We wanted someone with experience so that the fusion ceremony flowed seamlessly and Jeff did an amazing job doing just that. From the beginning of the process Jeff was kind, professional and informative. He provided us with lots of resources to help craft our own ceremony and answered all the questions we had along the way. We’d highly recommend Jeff!

Great experience!

Jeff was a wonderful officiant for a our last minute ceremony. We put together a very small ceremony in lieu of our originally planned ceremony due to COVID. He was very quick to respond after we initially reached out and kept in constant contact throughout the process. He helped guide us through the entire ceremony, the sequence and even helped us try to locate specific flowers we were looking for. Cannot recommend enough!

Jeff was so kind to help us elope at the last minute in Chicago. He was very accommodating and did a beautiful job at marrying us. I highly recommend speaking with him whether you need a step in officiant or are planning something grand!

Jeff was a great officiant and helped us to have a beautiful ceremony in Lincoln Park when we had to postpone our original plans due to COVID. He is very personable, professional, and kind. We highly recommend!

Perfect Wedding Officiant

Jeff was great and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding officiant! He is professional, and thorough. We met ahead of time to go over us as a couple- he truly cared to get to know us and then provided a ton of different options for ceremony formats and pieces to include based on what we were looking for. Everything was as customizable as you'd want it to be and his templates helped us easily map out how we wanted our ceremony to flow. Leading up to the big day, we met with him again to go over the drafted out ceremony and make sure it was how we wanted it. He offered the option to come to the rehearsal and that was super helpful too in making us feel comfortable for the real thing the next day. If we did a vow renewal tomorrow, I would love to work with Jeff again!

Flexible scheduling, high accessibility

Jeff is very nice and easy to work with! He is willing to answer our questions before and after the wedding. His schedule is flexible, and he is always prompt to reply text msg/calls. He also gives clear instructions and reminds us for many details. We are very fortunate to have Jeff as our officiant.

10/18/20 wedding

Jeff was awesome to work with. Very personable and arranging the ceremony was so easy with his library of options for each segment of the ceremony. He was also very flexible with officiating a wedding during a pandemic!

Wonderful and heartfelt ceremony

Jeff was lovely to work with from start to finish. He met with us for coffee to get to know us and created a warm and funny ceremony. It was everything we hoped for on our big day! Jeff was flexible, responsive, and kind. We're really happy we had him as our officiant.

Fantastic!

Jeff was the only officiant we talked to who was openly excited about our weird style; we ended up asking him to say some pretty weird and nerdy things, and he rolled with it happily! His ceremony selection book was vast and diverse, for the things we have decided upon. And he was so flexible - our wedding changed from a giant celebration in the Field Museum to a tiny ceremony in our front yard, due to COVID, and he never missed a beat. If my wife and I get the chance to do a bigger wedding, we're definitely getting Jeff again!

Jeff was perfect

Jeff was amazing in helping us have the perfect day under not perfect circumstances. Everything with our wedding was upended because of COVID but Jeff eased any nerves we had by being flexible and supportive all along the way. He was truly awesome and also incredibly affordable to other options that FAR overprice their services.

Empathetic, Understanding, and Professional

We couldn't imagine a better officiant! Jeff G provided a beautiful and economical ceremony on short notice after working with us through several COVID-19 postponements. We also loved his wide-range of options that helped us build the exact ceremony we imagined. In sum, highly recommended! Thank you, Jeff!
