Kathy Sent on 04/22/2025Exceptional and Funny
Jeff was an absolute joy to work with! From the very first meeting, we knew we wanted him to be the one to marry us. He strikes the perfect balance! He takes his role seriously, but never too seriously. He brought such a playful, thoughtful energy to our ceremony that kept it both heartfelt and genuinely entertaining.
Our guests raved about him afterwards!! He truly made the ceremony feel personal and full of love. We’re so thankful we met him and got to have him be part of our day. We’d recommend Jeff to any couple looking for someone who can make their ceremony feel meaningful, unique, and full of personality. -

We absolutely loved working with Jeff for our small wedding ceremony! He is easy going and has a great sense of humor. He made planning our ceremony a breeze, from script recommendations to just getting to know us as a couple and making our ceremony amazing. We highly recommend working with Jeff for your ceremony! -

Anna Sent on 12/30/2024The Best!!
Jeff is simply the best there is. Leading up to the wedding, Jeff was so professional and kind and effortlessly helped us create a ceremony that reflected who we are. We even met up for a quick ceremony run through that helped us see how everything would flow on the day of. After our ceremony, multiple guests approached us to tell us that Jeff was the best officiant they had ever seen at a wedding. We feel exactly the same way. We loved working with him and can't recommend him enough! -

Katie Sent on 12/27/2024The best officiant of all time!
Jeff is the best wedding officiant around. He is incredibly kind, funny and knowledgeable. He not only provides guidance, structure and personalization for your wedding ceremony, he is there every step of the way for questions of any sort related to the planning process. He is a treasure trove of knowledge and advice. Jeff took the time to really understand us as a couple and at every point we felt so confident that he was executing our vision. We love Jeff and can't recommend him enough!! -

Megan Sent on 12/02/2024An Unforgettable Ceremony with Jeff
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our wedding. From day one, Jeff was warm, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. His experience, thoughtful templates, and personalized recommendations were invaluable as we designed our ceremony. Looking back, it couldn’t have been more perfect—it was a true reflection of who we are as a couple.
Jeff’s presence is truly exceptional, striking the perfect balance between seriousness and levity. Practicing the ceremony with him a few days before the wedding, just the three of us, helped us feel calm and confident for the big day.
We can’t recommend Jeff highly enough and are so grateful that he played such a meaningful role in the start of our marriage. Thank you, endlessly, Jeff! -

Ashlie Sent on 10/21/2024Best officiant ever
From the first phone call with Jeff, my husband and I knew he would be our officiant. He was kind, patient, funny, and made us excited for our future. He patiently walked us through the entire process and took out potential anxieties with wedding planning. We also did our marriage counseling with him prior to our big day. It was a great opportunity for my husband and I to get to know each other on a deeper level before saying 'I do.' On our big day, he ensured everything went smoothly. I couldn't recommend him enough as an officiant. -

Marya Sent on 10/14/2024Made our ceremony unforgettable!
We had a fantastic experience with Jeff. From start to finish, he was incredibly supportive, guiding us through the entire process and even meeting with us for a "ceremony trial" to make sure we felt fully prepared for our special day. The ceremony itself was everything we hoped for—official yet not too formal. Jeff had a remarkable way of engaging our guests, using his wit to make everyone laugh and feel truly included. Inviting Jeff was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. Highly recommended!
Many thanks, Jeff!! -

Abigail Sent on 10/08/2024Yes, Jeff!
We highly recommend Jeff! After our ceremony, we had several family members tell us what an amazing job Jeff did. His voice is loud and clear so even our guests in the back and our elderly guests could hear. He also speaks with amazing confidence and at a cadence that is not too fast or too slow.
My now-husband is Filipino and we knew we wanted to incorporate some Filipino traditions in our wedding. When looking for an officiant, we weren't sure we would find someone familiar with the traditions, but then we found Jeff! When we first met with Jeff virtually, he was already very knowledgeable about Filipino traditions and he made us feel very comfortable from the start. We knew he was the one.
Leading up to the wedding he sent over plenty of ceremony templates for us to review and piece together as we'd like. We also met with him in person to go over the final ceremony script. Here, he walked us through how we should be positioned at the altar for the best photos. Day of, he checked in with us both separately before the ceremony and cracked a few jokes, which put us at ease. We're very happy with our decision to choose Jeff as our officiant! -

Elizabeth Sent on 10/06/2024A seasoned professional
Jeff was easy to work with and gave us a lot of thoughtful advice and suggestions leading up to our wedding. He helped my husband and I to customize our wedding ceremony so that it felt authentic to our relationship, and his warmth and humor put us at ease and helped us focus on each other on our wedding day. His years of experience are invaluable and we highly recommend him as an officiant! -

Darren Sent on 07/03/2024Hard to imagine a better officiant
Jeff did a great job with our wedding ceremony, offering both humor and touching moments. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and incorporated several personal touches throughout the ceremony. He also kept us calm and on track throughout the rehearsal and ceremony. I also liked the library of ceremony scripts and readings he provided at the outset, which helped us craft a ceremony script that was specific to our preferences and need for a hybrid approach (incorporating both Buddhist and secular elements). We're so grateful that our wedding coordinator, Lisa Havard, recommended Jeff to us. I can't imagine a better officiant than Jeff. -
![Mollie]()
Mollie Sent on 04/27/2024Jeff is Terrific!
We highly recommend Jeff! He officiated our wedding ceremony with the perfect demeanor and personal touch. His vast experience and knowledge was a huge help. He went above and beyond in providing us guidance throughout the entire process. -

Ric L. Sent on 10/05/2023No Better Officiant for the Job
Jeff was an AMAZING part of our wedding weekend. He was professional and prompt in all his communications, even responding to us while he was on vacation with some crazy time difference. Meeting with him before signing the marriage certificate was a great experience, he was so much fun to be around, entertaining our parents as well as taking the time to get to know us, giving us tips and tricks for our ceremony officiant for everything to run smoothly on the big day. He was so engaging and fun, even though we only hired Jeff in his official capacity as a civil celebrant, I know any ceremony he officiates would be compassionate, meaningful, and moving. You'll not only be pleased with his services, you'll also just enjoy your time with him. -
![Laura]()
Laura Sent on 05/29/2023Truly a Professional Officiant, Caters To Your Specific Needs
Let me tell you, this is not Jeff's first rodeo - he's a seasoned professional when it comes to being an officiant.
From the start, communication with him was super easy - we had emails, and we had Zoom meetings where we got to dive into our specific needs. There was not one single time where we felt we weren't being taken care of or out of the loop.
We had a few asks for our ceremony - having parents come up for a short prayer, keeping things light in spite of some recent deaths in the family, and somehow making a 30 minute ceremony something that's actually fun for people to sit through. He actually delivered on all of that plus more. We worked with him on the programming since he provides a bunch of different options depending on your ceremony type and preferred content, and at the end of the day we knew we were getting something that we not only approved of, but were really looking forward to.
On the day of our wedding, he checked in with us before the ceremony to go over the important last details - where people should stand, how we can hold hands, any other caveats to it. We felt like we were going in with a clear picture of the ceremony which helped keep our nerves calm.
He was always good about reminding us about the wedding license, and after the wedding, gave a great amount of detail on what's next - whether that included name changing or just getting some certified documents.
Honestly I can't recommend Jeff enough - he didn't feel like a vendor, he felt like a friend, and we could not be more happy with our decision to work with him on our special day. Obviously, we know this marriage is the one, but 10/10 would still hire Jeff again LOL -
![Danielle]()
Danielle Sent on 05/29/2023Jeff is amazing!
Our wedding planner introduced us to Jeff, and he absolutely hit it out of the park on our wedding day! He was very communicative through the whole process, and helped us craft a ceremony script that was extra meaningful to us. We had an impending storm during our ceremony, and Jeff navigated the timing of the ceremony to make sure we finished in time but still got all the aspects of the ceremony included. All of our guests were so impressed, and we couldn’t recommend him enough! -
![Ashley]()
Ashley Sent on 04/02/2023Amazing Officiant!
Jeff was an amazing Officiant! We received so many compliments about him and our ceremony. He has a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor. He's efficient and on top of things. He helped us create a really beautiful ceremony that was so special and personalized to our relationship. Couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Thank you so much, Jeff!!! We appreciate you! -
![Heather]()
Heather Sent on 11/28/2022More than an officiant with his extensive wedding experience
Jeff knocked it out of the park! My husband and I aren’t part of an organized church so we asked our wedding planners to recommend an officiant for our wedding day. After reading Jeff’s BIO on his website, we felt so emotionally connected to his story that we replied to the intro email stating that “we knew he was the right person for us” all before we ever had a chance to speak with him! Thankfully our gut was right!
The process matters! Jeff followed up quickly to schedule a 60 minute video call with us the following week. He made us feel at ease from the very start. He asked us questions about our lives as individuals, our families, puppies, hobby’s, interest’s and some of the logistics for our day. We felt so comfortable with his genuine interest and delivery that we shared some personal stories we didn’t expect to share during that very first meeting. There was no doubt by the end of our call that this guy was/is a subject matter expert in the world of weddings! Jeff sent us a follow up email that night with examples of various readings, vows, poems and other unique cultural ideas to consider for our ceremony.
Our next call was about a month later. We sent him our feedback on the ideas we loved and he walked us through each verse while incorporating his incredible humor where it made sense. He made kind hearted suggestions regarding placement of the more emotional moments expressing love for those we lost then he explained how he’d lift the room back up so that the rest of the ceremony would be about the celebration of our love!
A couple weeks before our wedding day he met us at the venue while doing our first walk through with the planners. Jeff provided insight on more than just the ceremony. We were so thankful for his level of experience from so many different venue scenarios. He guided us on what type of lighting would work best, what to discuss with the photographers, sound and microphone techniques, and even the best way to manage the train on my dress! Yes, we had planners but it was Jeff who left no gaps to fill and put us at ease during an otherwise chaotic time!
Jeff officiated our ceremony with ease and command of our 150 guests. He made us laugh. He made them laugh and he was an absolute pro at reading the room to adlib off script when the tears were flowing. Undeniably the best person we could’ve had standing by our side on our wedding day.
My advice to anyone just starting to plan their wedding... meet with Jeff first. He's a great officiant with the value add of being a wedding SME. I wish I had his long list of good and not so good vendors he's worked with over the years from the very beginning!

Leigh Sent on 11/25/2022Jeff is the best!
Jeff is the best! We had premarital counseling before the ceremony, and I think it not only prepared us better for the beginning of our marriage, but also made the ceremony better! He incorporated so much of who we are and what we love in the ceremony and I adored it! Jeff is a must for any couple! -

Sarah Sent on 11/07/2022Consummate Professional!
We are so appreciative to Jeff for officiating our daughter's wedding. From 1st conversation to the last, Jeff was the consummate professional. He got to know the couple, asked questions to tailor the ceremony to their vision, and applied his wisdom & experience to ensure all areas were covered.
Day of, he ensured all ceremony participants were aware of their roles & responsibilities, and did so with humor and grace. Our guests raved about how wonderful and intentional the ceremony was and sang his praises. The bride & groom felt taken care of and at ease due to his demeanor & experience. Post wedding, he continued his professionalism by providing complete instruction on next steps (i.e., name changes, etc). Highly recommend - thank you Jeff! -

Michele Sent on 05/17/2022Amazing officiant
Right from the start, Jeff made an effort to get to know me and my now husband in order to craft an extremely personalized wedding ceremony. He also provided tons of great information to help us decide what we wanted in our ceremony and about the process to obtain a marriage license. What we ended up with was a ceremony that was unique to us as a couple (and our love of dogs). We received so many compliments from our guests that Jeff was engaging, moving, and had a great sense of humor. We are so glad that we hired Jeff to officiate our wedding! -

Katie Sent on 05/02/2022The BEST Officiant
If you are or aren’t someone who is affiliated with any religious background, Jeff is one we recommend! Very personable while taking care of what’s important in our vows. He asked a lot of great questions and we couldn’t have been happier!
With having a blended family in our wedding ceremony and including my son, I was tearing up for sure throughout! It was so beautiful and sentimental as well. I was happy with his personality that went perfectly with ours and everyone raved about him at the wedding! -

Eamonn Sent on 05/01/2022Highly Recommended!
We cannot recommend Jeff enough. He is a genuine expert in what he does and he was a big part in making our wedding day go smoothly. He easily tailored our ceremony to reflect who we are through both humor and meaning and made sure the whole thing flowed perfectly from start to finish. We even received compliments from several friends that the ceremony represented us and our personalities so well. Jeff was very helpful in leading us through the marriage certificate process as well. We also opted to go through Jeff’s premarital counseling sessions which were great. It got us talking more in depth about all manner of topics that will be important to our marriage moving forward. The sessions also let him get to know us better, making our ceremony that much more personal and special. Thanks so much, Jeff! -

Cindy Sent on 04/21/2022Professional, thoughtful, funny and passionate officiant who wants to make your day perfect!
If we dreamed up the perfect officiant, it would be Jeff! He was punctual, professional, funny, and thoughtful throughout our whole process and we had a very long process. Due to COVID, we ended up having to change our wedding date 3 times including a last minute cancellation 24 hours before our second date. Jeff was a trooper throughout all of this and even revised our ceremony the night before so that it reflected the change in plans when we did our first small ceremony in front of just immediate family. He was open to hearing our thoughts on our ceremony and flexible to meet our needs. He didn't try to push or force his views or agenda and focused on what we wanted for our special day and worked to make it happen. Jeff helped make our ceremony perfect - personal, sentimental, emotional and personal. We loved that Jeff got to know us and weaved it into the ceremony. We had several guests tell us that it was the best ceremony they've ever witnessed and we couldn't agree more! Thank you so much to Jeff for all his hard work and dedication to making his clients happy. -

![Alexandra]()
Alexandra Sent on 12/16/2021Best Wedding Officiant!!!
Thank you so much Jeff!!! You were the absolute perfect wedding officiant for us. You are so nice, organized, down to earth, and funny. You added the perfect amount of little jokes into our ceremony and it flowed absolutely perfectly. Nothing felt rehearsed or rushed, or just like it was any old monotone ceremony. We even loved the suggestion you made to add in the part about caring for our pups. :) We got so many positive comments from our family and friends for how nice of a ceremony we had and how awesome you were! You made the process so easy and you helped us so much along the way with things that we didn't know hw to do (like getting our Marriage License, prep, etc.). We will absolutely be recommending you to any of our friends getting married in the future!! Thank you!!!! -

Scott Sent on 11/04/2021Just hire him, you'll be happy I told you to do so!
In the most simplest of terms: Jeff is every positive piece of feedback that you read about him. Even our venue coordinator was married by him. Jeff makes the process easy, comfortable, entertaining, and he knows things that others are not going to know to help make your wedding go smoothly. Quite simply, if you don't choose Jeff, then you're making a mistake. We can't give Jeff enough thanks and kind words for all of his services. I married a Filipina and he was enough of a gentleman to offer to wear a barong (and he did wear it). Jeff is the best, without question.
