    Highly Recommend!

    Rabbi Kaplan is truly one of a kind. From the moment you meet him, you feel his warmth and genuine care for everyone around him. He not only officiated our wedding beautifully, but he also Bat Mitzvahed me.

    Rabbi Kaplan has a special gift for making each ceremony feel deeply personal and unique. He takes the time to truly get to know you and your partner, ensuring that every word reflects your story and values. He seamlessly incorporates Jewish traditions in a modern, thoughtful way, the perfect balance between honoring heritage and creating a ceremony that feels authentic and current.

    I wholeheartedly recommend Rabbi Kaplan to anyone :)

    I Could Not Have Asked for More!

    We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Rabbi Kaplan. He was incredible to work with from start to finish and truly made our wedding ceremony feel seamless. From helping us select the traditions to incorporate to providing the Ketubah he helped us every step of the way with every detail. Our guests continue to praise the ceremony and cannot stop talking about how beautifully written it was. I would recommend him endlessly to anyone getting married.

    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.

    Amazing!!!

    We had the absolute pleasure of having Rabbi Kaplan officiate our wedding. From our first meeting, the Rabbi was warm, professional and open to any adaptations we wanted to make for the day. The ceremony was beautifully personalized and Rabbi Kaplan made sure it reflected both our cultures and traditions. Many of our guests commented on how inspiring the ceremony was and the whole experience felt relaxed, inclusive and extremely special.

    Rabbi Kaplan is the BEST!

    We were fortunate enough to have Rabbi Kaplan officiate our wedding on 3/31/2025. Rabbi Kaplan was included in the preferred vendors list at the Addison and was highly recommended. After our first phone call with him, I immediately understood why. He is very caring, professional and compassionate. Rabbi Kaplan truly took the time to get to know us as a couple. He asked thoughtful questions about our relationship and incorporated our story beautifully into the ceremony. It felt incredibly personal and genuine, and so many of our guests commented on how "us" the ceremony was. We highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan to any couple looking for a meaningful and personalized wedding ceremony. Thank you!

    Unique, Thoughtful, AMAZING

    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!

    Perfect Blend of Tradition and Personalization - An Unforgettable Ceremony!

    We couldn't have asked for a better Rabbi to officiate our wedding! He made our ceremony incredibly personal and beautifully explained all the Jewish traditions, making everyone feel included. During the planning process, he took the time to go through each tradition with us, offering options to incorporate them in either a fully traditional way or with a modern twist that suited our style. He was an absolute pleasure to work with, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for his warmth, guidance, and the special touch he brought to our day!

    Beautiful ceremony thanks to Rabbi Kaplan - HE IS THE BEST!

    We absolutely loved working with Rabbi Kaplan. He made our interfaith ceremony better than we could have imagined. The months leading up to the ceremony he took the time to get to know us as a couple, from how we were raised to what was important to us going into our marriage. During the ceremony he made us feel at ease, brought humor, and made sure to explain everything as he went along to our guests so they felt just as much a part of everything as us. We received so many compliments on how much everyone enjoyed the ceremony and how beautiful it was. We are so happy we had Rabbi Kaplan be apart of our big day and truly can’t say enough great things about him!

    Amazing!!!

    Rabbi Kaplan is truly such an amazing individual, He was so pleasant and understanding of our reform Jewish religion. He was very inclusive throughout the ceremony for those who aren’t. He made the entire experience of getting married not stressful, gave great advice and truly gave a wonderful, beautiful ceremony for us. I couldn’t have imagined this day without him and I can’t wait to use him again in the future for our next life adventures!

    Rabbi Kaplan is the BEST!

    We were fortunate enough to have Rabbi Kaplan officiate our wedding this past October 2023. Rabbi Kaplan was included in the preferred vendor list at the Addison and was highly recommended by some of the staff at the Addison. After my first phone call with him, I immediately understood why. He is professional, caring, and compassionate. He led a beautiful wedding ceremony that was well-personalized and incorporated traditions that were important to us. He also added the perfect amount of humor. After the ceremony I had multiple friends approach me to tell me that they had never been to a Jewish wedding before and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. They also commented on how much they loved the Rabbi's personality and jokes. I highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan for your wedding!! If he is available book him trust me you will not regret it!

    Rabbi Kaplan made our wedding ceremony so special bringing our two faiths together and making both families feel included. He was professional and thorough and was there for us each step of the way. If you're looking for a magical experience then Rabbi Kaplan should be your first choice.

    A wonderful experience

    I am not Jewish (my husband is) and we had a reformed, modern, Jewish wedding.
    Rabbi Kaplan was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process! For our initial meeting, he welcomed us into his home and took his time explaining the order of the ceremony, the traditions that would be included, and the meaning behind the Jewish elements. He was very easy-going and open-minded. We also had a couple follow up calls to answer questions and we made some minor changes to the ceremony itself and the ketubah (something that wasn't an issue at all!).
    Our wedding and especially our ceremony was absolutely perfect and we couldn’t be more thankful to Rabbi Kaplan. My entire (non-Jewish) family felt very included, and they all told me how much they appreciated how everything was explained through the process and how everyone regardless of religion felt included.
    Bottom line, Rabbi Kaplan is a wonderful individual who seems to have all the best qualities of not only a Rabbi but also as a person. He is kind, understanding, wise, respectful and (!!) he has a great sense of humor!

    Unforgettable Experience

    Rabbi Kaplan officiated our wedding on April 1, 2023. Rabbi Kaplan invested a lot of time in getting to know us over a 9+ month time period, which allowed him to really customize our ceremony. Since this was a same-sex, inter-faith wedding, the Rabbi wanted to make sure that all of the beautiful Jewish traditions, prayers, and symbolism were fully explained to everyone. The result was a perfect ceremony that none of us will ever forget. Every single guest at our wedding said it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they ever experienced. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and we could not recommend him enough. Our ceremony was uniquely "us" and something we will never forget.

    Fantastic Destination Wedding Rabbi!

    Rabbi Kaplan was wonderful. We're from Michigan and got married in West Palm Beach and he immediately felt like a friend/rabbi we'd known forever. The process was super smooth and he made it so easy for us to communicate with him from afar - zoom calls, emails, etc. We have a 4 1/2 year old and Rabbi Kaplan had some great ideas on how to involve him in the ceremony, and really rolled with it as 4 1/2 year olds can be super unpredictable! He was great - highly recommend!

    Having a good Rabbi was very important to us as we believe the Rabbi’s level of officiating really dictates the overall impression guests take away from a ceremony and we were so glad that Rabbi Kaplan was available to officiate our wedding. We knew he was very highly rated and hard to book and ultimately he was just as advertised. He was super easy to work with and he made the entire process before and during the wedding very joyful and seamless for us. He really took the time to guide us through each step and more importantly he really took effort in getting to know us. He ended up curating a personalized ceremony for us which was perfect and it resulted in a beautiful ceremony. We are forever thankful to Rabbi Kaplan and we are so happy we had him officiate our special day!

    Rabbi Kaplan is wonderful! My husband and I are to fortunate to have had him as our officiant. He made our ceremony personal and special. He made our ceremony exactly how we wanted it and answered all of our questions along the way. He created a beautiful ketubah for us, also. I would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan.

    Isaack-Anchondo Wedding

    Rabbi Kaplan captured the true essence for what we were looking for in a wedding officiant. Ours was an Interfaith wedding. Jonathan was attentive to all the details we wanted to capture during the ceremony. We are extremely happy with the overall outcome. We highly recommend his officiant services for your specific type of wedding.

    Our wedding was a mix of Protestant and Jewish. Rabbi Kaplan was able to let both religions share in the experience by explaining traditions. Every person said how amazing he was. Not only that he was communicative, answered questions for us prior, and made the process so smooth. We were blessed to have him apart of our day!

    Rabbi Kaplan is the best!

    Rabbi Kaplan made our wedding a huge success! We had a couple calls with him beforehand, where he instantly provided all the information we need and really got to know our backgrounds and personalities. On the day of, he made us feel calm and relaxed even though it was such an emotional moment in our lives. He's super helpful, funny, and goes the extra mile to make your big day the best it can be. He had the perfect balance between humor and sincerity in our ceremony. We can't recommend him enough!

    Rabbi JK is amazing!

    Rabbi Kaplan helped facilitate our interfaith marriage. He was extremely understanding of both cultures and made sure to incorporate as much of the Jewish marriage ceremony components that we requested. He translated the Hebrew and explained the Jewish traditions to those who were unfamiliar. Highly recommend for interfaith and Jewish marriages. He has a great personality and meets with you before the big day to go over the ceremony and makes sure your requests are heard.

    Perfect Officiant and Advisor

    My finance (now wife) and I have a place in Singer Island Florida (long story but over many years visiting Florida we found our Hydra) and wanted to get married there. As this was our second wedding for each of us and we both have large families we wanted to get married on our beach. We did not want to have an event but we wanted something to share with the family so they could enjoy virtually (and so we would make a memory for generations to come). As such, the wedding canopy and video were the key items. But even more essential was my need for an officiant - I am Jewish my wife is not but she is familiar with Jewish events. We were blessed to find our officiant, Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan, from a West Palm Beach wedding guide web page list (both his first and last names caught our fancy) and we have never been so happy to give him a rave review. He was perfect, organized, joyful, full of meaning, understanding our unique story, what more could you ask for. But indeed we ALSO got a bonus as knowing nothing about Palm Beach weddings, Rabbi Kaplan also recommended both the video and design teams: Timeline Video, see its positive review and Events, see their positive review the best around., which Rabbi Kaplan correctly told me were the best around. All in all the event was perfect, thank you Rabbi Kaplan. If you need a caring, committed, compassionate officiant that will make your event personal and unique, go to Rabbi Kaplan!

    Rabbi Kaplan did an absolutely amazing job officiating our wedding! We were both so lucky to have found him, it was such a special and meaningful ceremony! We could not have been happier with everything he did for us during the ceremony, it was so beautiful and personable with a touch of humor! We will definitely be recommending him for all future weddings!

    Rabbi Kaplan couldn’t have done a better job at our wedding. Everything leading up to the wedding went so smoothly as he was very communicative throughout our engagement and really took the time to get to know us in order to make our wedding ceremony unique and special. Rabbi Kaplan was so well prepared and organized, he did a fantastic job making us feel very comfortable under the chuppah. We laughed and really enjoyed his thoughtful words during the ceremony. Thank you Rabbi for this unforgettable experience!!

    We highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan. He did a wonderful job at our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about it being the best Jewish wedding ceremony they have ever been to because of Rabbi Kaplan. Planning for your ceremony can be stressful, but Rabbi Kaplan made it so easy throughout the planning process as well as helping to keep you relaxed during the ceremony. Thank you, Rabbi!

    Rabbi Kaplan is truly a gem!

    My husband and I cannot praise or thank Rabbi Kaplan enough for officiating our wedding. He performed such a beautiful ceremony and we could not be happier. From the moment we sat down with him, he was so friendly and warm and made us feel so comfortable. He made the process so easy for us as he guided us through the entire thing step by step. So many of our family members and guests commented on how amazing he was. I would 100% recommended anyone to have Rabbi Kaplan be a part of your special day.

    The most incredible Rabbi!

    Rabbi Kaplan officiated our wedding at The Addison in Boca Raton, Florida. We cannot thank him enough for performing the most beautiful and inclusive interfaith wedding for us! From the moment we met Rabbi Kaplan, we felt comfortable with him. He is incredibly kind, personable, and truly takes the time to get to know you as a couple. Considering that many of our guests were not Jewish, he did a beautiful job in explaining the meaning behind the Jewish traditions and in making our guests feel so welcomed and included. Our guests absolutely loved him and have had nothing but wonderful things to say! He truly is one of a kind. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable wedding ceremony!

    Looking for a great Rabbi?

    Rabbi Kaplan is extremely personable, experienced, charming, funny, and very good with the latest technology. All of our Zoom guests remarked about how much they enjoyed the ceremony which was all due to Rabbi Kaplan. Prior to our wedding, he made sure to get to know us which enabled him to personalize the ceremony. We would highly recommend him. If you are looking for a Rabbi, don't hesitate to hire Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan. You won't be sorry!

    Rabbi to the Rescue

    The best Rabbi

    Rabbi Kaplan was so amazing! My husband is Catholic and I am Jewish and he performed such a beautiful and inclusive interfaith wedding for us! My husbands family was worried at first when we told them we hired a Rabbi to marry us, but following the wedding ceremony they could not stop talking about how great he was! He explained everything that was incorporated into our wedding that those who are not Jewish would not typically understand right off the bat. He was amazing and I totally recommended to anyone looking!

    Look no further, Rabbi Kaplan is hands down the best!!!

    I had the pleasure of seeing Rabbi Kaplan in action at 2 different weddings before I myself was engaged. One of the wedding ceremonies even had both the rabbi and a priest officiating the ceremony. I can’t say I’ve ever gone to a wedding and left thinking about how great the rabbi was until I witnessed Rabbi Kaplan in action. At both weddings he effortless came across as charismatic, funny, laid back, and I knew I wanted him for my own wedding ceremony. We are not religious at all so we did not want a very religious or traditional ceremony and Rabbi Kaplan had no problem personalizing the ceremony to best reflect us as a couple. We originally booked Rabbi Kaplan to officiate our wedding on Saturday March 28th, 2020 however due to the coronavirus pandemic everything shut down 2 weeks before our date we had to move the wedding date to November 6th, 2020 (a Friday). I was worried that Rabbi Kaplan would not be able to provide his services now that the wedding was on a Friday evening (Shabbat) but he told us that since we were going through so much rescheduling the event and trying to coordinate with all the vendors to find a new date that worked for everyone, he was willing to make an exception and still be the officiant for our wedding despite it being on a Friday before sundown. He also helped us immensely when we were having difficulty obtaining our marriage license due to limited available appointments at our local courthouses (no walk ins allowed). On the day of our wedding Rabbi Kaplan was so warm and welcoming and his demeanor instantly made all the guests (and the groom and I) so comfortable and relaxed. Multiple guests came up to me after the service raving about how personable and down to earth our rabbi was. In all honesty he rocked our wedding ceremony! We could not be happier with how smooth and effortless he made everything feel. Hiring Rabbi Kaplan to officiate our wedding was hands down one of the easiest and best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. I have yet to see anyone do a better job than him. With all the decisions that need to be made in the wedding planning process, this is one that is a no-brainer. Do yourself a favor and book Rabbi Kaplan for your wedding ASAP!!! There is no possible way you will be disappointed!!

    Loved working with Rabbi Kaplan!

    We cannot thank and recommend Rabbi Kaplan enough for performing such a beautiful, meaningful and personalized ceremony! We got married on 7/26 and had a small interfaith wedding. I am Jewish but my husband and his family are not. Since we first met, we automatically felt a connection and we both felt so comfortable with him! He made the ceremony personal to us and our different backgrounds. He even did a special prayer for my husband's father who passed away a couple of years ago. All of the guests from different backgrounds and religions had wonderful things to say about him. He made the ceremony fun and interesting. Everyone was talking about the ceremony the next day. He said something along the lines that during a time like this, we must cherish every moment and live life to the fullest. That is something that was definitely remembered! We loved every moment! Thank you Rabbi Kaplan!

    The Best Friend You Have Never Met

    We cant say praise Rabbi Kaplan enough. From the beginning he was warm, friendly, and personable and it felt like we had known him forever. He was incredibly sensitive and respectful to the fact that one of us was Jewish and one was atheist and ensured he created a ceremony that was comfortable for both. On top of that he didn't flinch or get frustrated when our 1.5 year old daughter decided she would stand under the chuppah with us - instead he made the most of it and welcomed her and made the best of it! We cant recommend him enough. You will not be disappointed.

    The BEST Ceremony!

    We cannot thank Rabbi Kaplan enough for officiating our ceremony. We received so many compliments from our guests about his service. He explained what the significance of each part of the ceremony was.
    Rabbi Kaplan was very easy to get in touch with and worked with our schedules to meet and discuss the details of our ceremony.
    Thank you so very much!

    Wed sign planner

    Rabbi Kaplan has married my brother, sister and renewed my parents’s 50th year of nuptials. He also named my nieces. He is a great rabbi and my family is grateful to him. He is the best there is and a good person for the entire community.

    The Most memorable wedding cermony

    My husband and I were so happy to have Rabbi Jonathan be apart of our wedding day. He was fantastic. When first sitting down with him he took the time to get to know us and learn more about our relationship so that he could incorporate into our ceremony. So after having to move our ceremony inside instead of our main plane of being outdoors, we were kind of disappointed, but the moment the ceremony started everything started to get better. How he spoke and orchestrated the saying's in Hebrew and then explained each meaning in English. From his own words of wisdom to every prayer it was so personable that every one of our guests could not stop raving about what an incredible ceremony it was. He has such a great sense of humour and so professional. It was more than Perfect and we can't thank him enough.

    Amazing Experience

    We have received so many compliments on how great Rabbi Kaplan was at our wedding. The process was easy as he guided us through the entire thing step by step. He made sure to get to know us and our needs for the wedding - and was accommodating the entire time. It was truly a great experience and we highly recommend him to anyone looking!

    Completely happy!

    My now husband and i met a few Rabbi's before we found Rabbi Kaplan. He was a complete breath of fresh air. He was interested in finding out about us and making sure that he would be able to give us the best ceremony possible- and he completely did. Our families as well as our guests that came from out of town are still telling us how amazing he was. It was a beautiful ceremony. We would completely recommend him.

    New Years Eve Wedding at the Addison

    Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan officiated our NYE wedding at the Addison in Boca Raton, Florida. From the time meeting him, we felt so comfortable and instantly connected. He also officiated our best friend's wedding and got to see first hand how amazing he is. He did a great job explaining the Jewish traditions for everyone in the audience and personalizing his message about us as a couple. He also took the time to read my conversion spiritual biography and comment on it during the ceremony. We are very lucky; thank you for everything Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan!

    Rabbi JK was our favorite part of our special day!

    Rabbi JK was easy to work with! He took the time to get to know us and personalized our ceremony to fit our love story. Many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the ceremony as he was relatable and charismatic. If we could do it all over again Rabbi JK would be our first booking!

    Absolutely amazing

    Rabbi Kaplan did the most amazing job combining both the traditions of my family (Jewish) and of my husband's (Catholic). He performed the most amazing interfaith ceremony complete with a ketubah and all. The ceremony was my favorite part of my wedding. I cant put into words how thankful I am to have had him officiate my wedding. He is the best!

    Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan is the best!

    Rabbi Kaplan was absolutely AMAZING. He made our ceremony exactly what we dreamed of. He had the perfect amount of seriousness and humor, explained every step and the meaning behind the Jewish traditions (it was an inter faith wedding). Most importantly, he was so responsive and kind and easy to work with throughout all the planning. We would highly recommend him!

    Rabbi Kapplan was fabulous! From the moment we met him, we knew we were in good hands. We had met with other rabbis, but he was genuinely interested in us as a couple and making the experience personalized. His energy during the ceremony was upbeat, informative and confident. It set the perfect tone for our whole day!

    I don’t even know where to begin. We LOVED Rabbi Kaplan. He has done many of our friends and families weddings and has always delivered a beautiful ceremony. When i got engaged, we knew he was the one that would be there with us every step of the way. He made everything about it perfect and personable. He through in jokes and knowledge of the Jewish faith and traditions for the guests who may not be familiar. He will do all of my future children’s bat and bar mitzvahs and baby naming or bris’s. He is truly one of a kind.

    We are in love with Rabbi Kaplan! My now husband, as of Saturday (3/10/18) is Jamaican American and grew up Catholic/ Christian. My family is Jewish. Talk about an interfaith, interracial, multicultural wedding. Piece of cake for this wonderful man. Rabbi Kaplan welcomed us into his home for our initial meet and greet. We instantly felt a connection to him. During our wedding ceremony, he explained many of the traditions and the religious significance of the ceremony elements. Rabbi Kaplan inserted his great humor which out all of the non-Jewish guests at ease. After the ceremony, so many of our guests sought out my parents to let them know how much they enjoyed the wedding ceremony. I would whole- heartedly recommend whether your are both Jewish or not to meet and greet Rabbi Kaplan. I know you will fall in love with him as we did!

    There is nobody like Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan! If we could give more stars we would! He made our ceremony funny, romantic, personal, and incredible. He is extremely well spoken and professional. He responds back to emails and phone calls right away, even after hours which nobody does. We are so lucky to have had Rabbi Kaplan be apart of our wedding and we’re looking forward to have him apart of future life events!

    Rabbi Kaplan is amazing. He is very personable, positive and makes the ceremony more enjoyable than any other rabbi imaginable. We couldn't be happier with him and we had plenty of positive feedback about him in particular after the ceremony. He's definitely worth speaking to and using for your special day.

    Rabbi Kaplan was fantastic! He performed our interfaith marriage at Four Seasons on Brickell on 11/12/2017. This was the second wedding for both of us, and our experience with Rabbi Kaplan was flawless from the moment we met. He was so professional, thoughtful, warm, funny and loving! He is also extremely organized which made the entire wedding planning even easier! Even during an unexpected rainstorm right in the middle of our ceremony, he made the entire experience enjoyable and heartful for us, and for everyone who attended the ceremony! He was so thoughtful about respecting both of our religions, and lovingly incorporating our children (8 in total) into our ceremony! There wasn't a request that we made that he didn't honor, and he exceeded our expectations. We loved working with Rabbi Kaplan and highly recommend him, not just for a wedding, but for any occasion! Thank you again Rabbi Kaplan for the best night ever!!!

    Rabbi Kaplan officiated at my wedding on 12/30/17, and I am glad to say that he was flawless, from the moment I first contacted him, up through the end of our wedding. He was always polite over the phone, and always made time to Skype with my wife and I at various points during the planning. I live in Japan, but he always took into account the time difference and made it easy to set up a time to speak.

    The actual ceremony was fantastic, and exactly what I had envisioned. He combined the ideal balance of religion with spirituality, and seriousness with levity, with added humor whenever appropriate. He provided everything we needed, and managed all our requests with ease. Not only were were extremely pleased with him, everyone in my family kept talking about how great he was and how beautiful the ceremony was. He had no qualms about marrying us despite my wife not being Jewish, and it was an honor for us to have signed his first Ketubbah to use both English and Japanese.

    Highly recommended, I would use him again without hesitation for any other weddings and events!

    If we could give Rabbi Kaplan 10 stars, we would!
    To start things off, my fiance, now husband and I had a difficult time finding a Rabbi who would officiate our Friday night (Shabbat) wedding. It was by luck we found Rabbi Kaplan!
    From the moment we met Rabbi Kaplan, we knew he was the one. He was so easy to talk too and had such a great personality. He asked us the basic questions on how we met, etc but what blew us away was after our meeting, he emailed us a questionnaire to get to know us better. We appreciated how he took the time to really get to know us.
    On the day of our wedding, Rabbi brought tears to our eyes, happy tears. He spoke like he'd known us our whole lives and even our guest spoke highly of him. The ceremony was short and sweet which was exactly what we wanted.
    We would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan! He is easy to work with, great personality and has a very fair price. If we could do it again, we would and choose him without question!
    Thank you again Rabbi!

    Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan performed a BEAUTIFUL ceremony for us. Everyone in our family commented on how wonderful the ceremony was. He is a natural at speaking and his words reached us and all our guests. When I think back on my favorite part of my wedding, it is the ceremony and how amazing the rabbi was! Rabbi Kaplan made our amazing day even more special. Don't hesitate to hire him!!!!!

    We could not have asked for a better Rabbi to preside over our wedding. He met with us before us prior to our wedding and we really felt as though he got a chance to know us as a couple. he was very accomodating when it came to our religious needs given that we both came from different religious backgrounds.

    On the day of the wedding he was absolutely wonderful. He kept the mood light and fun and was even able to improvise when things didn't go exactly as planned. Everyone kept asking where we found him because he was absolutely fabulous! I would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan and would use him again for any other service for our family.

    We couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. Rabbi Kaplan did such a wonderful job, and made it so special for us. I can't say enough good things, he is extremely personable and was always there to answer any of my questions throughout our engagement. My husband was raised Catholic, but we had a Jewish ceremony. My husband felt extremely comfortable with Rabbi Kaplan. Even after the ceremony all of my guests, regardless of their faith, commented on how wonderful it was.

    Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan made our wedding truly special and personalized a beautiful ceremony with us. He was reliable and passionate, listened to what was important to us and what was not. He is genuinely a wonderful person who clearly enjoys performing ceremonies and puts forth great effort to make sure it is a custom fit for the couple. He was attentive and responsive before, during and after our big day. He made our entire family happy and was warm, funny and personable along the way. He performed our ceremony during a tropical storm, navigating the horrible weather to get to us and even walking in the thunderstorms for us-all with a big smile on his face and tying it into our luck as a couple : ) We love Rabbi Kaplan and highly recommend him, truly a highlight of our big day!

    Look no further! Rabbi Kaplan made sure to truly get to know my family and I and trust me as this was no easy task being a destination bride. The ceremony was meaningful yet simple and short enough but not too short. Rabbi involved our 6 year old son in an amazing way and it felt just right. By the way, all of our guests felt that the ceremony was perfect! Thank you so much!

    My husband and I live in DC and planning a wedding out of state is tough enough. We were worried about finding a Rabbi as we had no connections or anyone we knew in Miami. All our worries went away after reading all the reviews and speaking to Rabbi Kaplan on the phone. Even though our initial meeting was over the phone we felt so comfortable and at ease to have Rabbi Kaplan marry us. He continued to exceed our expectations and the reviews we read. After meeting in person, we couldn't be more excited for the day. Rabbi Kaplan genuinely wanted to get to know US and what was important to us. The whole process was so easy and people still ask who our Rabbi was. The day was so special and we seriously couldn't thank you enough from the bottom of our hearts. I would recommend Rabbi Kaplan to anyone. I wish he was our Rabbi in DC, but when we come visit Florida we will absolutely stop by for a visit. Thank you again Rabbi Kaplan for everything!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Rabbi Kaplan! From our first meeting in his home office to the wedding ceremony, everything ran smoothly and was absolutely perfect. He is extremely responsive, friendly, and was able to incorporate our families into different aspects of the wedding ceremony beautifully. We received so many compliments on both the ketubah ceremony and wedding ceremony, with the general theme being that Rabbi Kaplan explains the aspects of a Jewish wedding beautifully while still making it personal and emotional. My grandpa couldn't travel for the wedding but was FaceTimed in for the ceremony. Rabbi Kaplan mentioned him several times and checked in to make sure he was still there. This was touching to everyone and just one example of how comfortable he made our wedding!

    Rabbi Kaplan was unbelievable in every way! He is so personable and loving and made us feel so comfortable during our ceremony. My husband and I as well as our parents were all very nervous and he had a very warm and calm way of helping us through it and making every moment so enjoyable! Our guests could not get over how great he was and we're constantly coming up to us and saying what a difference he made! There wasn't a dry eye. We love Rabbi Kaplan and would highly recommend him for your wedding!!!

    Rabbi Kaplan is one of a kind. Within minutes of meeting him you will feel as though you're family and he has known you your entire life. Weddings can be a stressful time and he is there the entire time to make you feel at ease and answer questions. He has such a unique and genuine way of offering guidance throughout the process that leaves you with a sense of comfort. He's an absolute pleasure to work with.

    Rabbi Jonathan did a wonderful job at our ceremony. Finding a Rabbi who will marry an interfaith couple is not always easy. It used to be much harder when my own mom and dad did it. Even more challenging is perhaps finding one that will not only marry an interfaith couple but do so in a co-celebrated manner (both Christian and Jewish in the same ceremony). Hats off the Rabbi Jonathan, he took the time to meet with us, learn about our relationship, and delivered a wonderful service that was meaningful, loving, and humorous. He has a great personality and did a great job. Happy to recommend him to anyone.

    Rabbi Kaplan married our daughter at the Addison on February 25, 2017. He conducted a beautiful Ketubah signing and marriage ceremony. It had such authenticity and Yiddishkeit. The guests were overwhelmed by how meaningful it all was. I would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan.

    Rabbi Kaplan
    There aren't enough superlatives we can use to describe Rabbi Kaplan. He officiated at our wedding on Feb 18, 2017. His warmth, knowledge, and sincerety brings both joy and tears. Rabbi Kaplan has an amazing ability to tap into our deep emotions.

    Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan performed our interfaith wedding ceremony this past weekend. His ceremony was warm, relaxed and a truly enjoyable and memorable experience for everyone. Many of our guests had never been to a Jewish wedding before. During our reception and for days after, we heard nothing but compliments from our guests about how Rabbi Kaplan conducted the service and in particular, their appreciation for the Rabbi's explanation of the significance of each part of the ceremony which gave meaning to everyone. He is the best!

    Rabbi Kaplan officiated our interfaith wedding this past Sunday. He did such an incredible job with our service. He incorporated some special requests we had, he had an amazing sense of humor, and he made the ceremony enjoyable for our guests. He made both myself and my husband feel comfortable and stress free from the start, and he couldn't have done a better job. He even held my tissue for me during the ceremony until I needed it lol. He also helped us pick out our kepahs and ketubah. Rabbi Kaplan is beyond sweet and genuine, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing officiant who will make your day even more special.

    Rabbi Kaplan is spectacular! From the moment we met him we instantly felt a connection with him as he is very personable, approachable, and warm. He made us feel at ease and really listened to our input about we wanted for our wedding. We feel that he also got to know us as a couple and cared to do so. Our ceremony was perfect and we got a lot of compliments from our guests about how special and magical our ceremony was thanks to Rabbi Kaplan! Even after our wedding we feel like he cares about us and is there for us if we need him. You cannot go wrong with Rabbi Kaplan he is one of the coolest Rabbis out there !

    Rabbi Kaplan was absolutely amazing to work with and did a phenomenal job at our wedding ceremony. I was referred to him by a friend and when I first spoke with him I immediately felt that he would be a perfect fit for us. He not only took the time to learn about me, my husband, our families and our relationship, he also took time to sit down with us and personalize the ceremony. I felt 100% comfortable and confident with Rabbi Kaplan and received so many compliments on the ceremony. I would highly recommend him!!
