Everything Rabbi Kaplan said he would deliver he did and then some. He did not mention the memories he would create for both Audra and I - that we will be forever thankful for.
Our Interfaith wedding was just as promised by Rabbi K - he had both sides of our family praising his service and how informative he was.
We were a destination couple so we did all of our communication via phone and email. He also will Skype with you should you desire.
He is great at making any religion feel welcome and comfortable at your...

Rabbi Kaplan was wonderful to work with. He is willing to meet with you as many times as you want and is flexible to customizing your ceremony to fit your needs. He is personable, genuine, professional, and punctual. He offers an optional ketubah that is beautiful and free of charge and is a premarital course provider so you get a 35% discount on your marriage license. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Rabbi Kaplan provided us with a beautiful and personal service on our wedding day. From the first time we spoke with him he was willing to answer any of our questions and worked around our work schedules to meet with us. We are thrilled with the way our ceremony progressed and would recommend him to any couple.

Rabbi Kaplan was fabulous! We loved working with him from the very beginning. He was very flexible and helpful in the process of planning our ceremony. We live out of town and he skyped with us to discuss the preparations and get to know us. He was very receptive to our ideas and personal touches that we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony. Overall, he has our highest recommendation.

Rabbi Kaplan was absolutely amazing! He was able to join not only two people but two faiths beautifully. Rabbi Kaplan made our ceremony very personal and intimate with a little humor mixed in. Our guests said that they really enjoyed hearing about both religions and seeing our traditions. He explained everything so effortlessly. We had several traditions we wanted and a few new ones that we thought were unique--he not only encouraged us to do them but he added a little extra "flair" that made them so memorable and special. He also was amenable when we decided we preferred less Hebrew and more English.
The Rabbi was very responsive whenever we emailed or called him. He even send us a great reading that I fell in love with for our ceremony.
I would definitely recommend Rabbi Kaplan to officiate anyone's wedding. We adored him!

Rabbi Kaplan was a pleasure to work with and was extremely helpful in assisting us with personalizing our wedding. He was even so gracious as to help us with our program. Our guests - both Jewish and non-Jewish- said ours was one of the best ceremonies they had ever been to. We would recommend Rabbi Kaplan again, hands down!

Rabbi Kaplan performed a beautiful wedding service for us. Our wedding was small, with only immediate family present, but he involved everyone and made it a very special occasion for all. I highly recommend him for anyone who wants a memorable wedding service with a lovely combination of professionalism and warmth.

Rabbi Kaplan was our officiant for our destination wedding in Miami. He is very understanding of interfaith marriages and provided us with great marriage advice. He was flexible when we wanted to schedule times to talk and he was more than happy to have Skype calls with us due to fact we are in CT. Our guests were ranting and raving about how great the ceremony was and we couldn't agree more! Overall, we highly recommend you have Rabbi Kaplan officiant your wedding, he was considerate, professional, funny, and very down to earth.

Rabbi Kaplan was absolutely fantastic! He worked with us to craft a ceremony that was emotional, moving, heartfelt, and genuine. Throughout the process of planning he was always available to answer our questions, whether it was about the wording for our ketubah and our programs or whether or not it was ok to have our sweetheart table under the chuppah. I would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan to anyone for their special day!

Jonathan Kaplan is the MOST AMAZING RABBI, EVER! He envelopes everyone, both Jew and Gentile alike, it doesn't matter what your faith. He did both the funerals for my father and sister in the last year and a half and there is no one else that we would have chosen to marry us and one of us is Jewish, and the other is Christian!

Rabbi Kaplan was perfect for our casual, outdoor wedding! My husband and I loved him from our first meeting with him in his office, all the way through our ceremony. He is friendly, caring, warm, funny and is so organized he walks you through every single step, including applying for your marriage license! All of our guests made it a point to tell us what a great Rabbi he was and how much they enjoyed our ceremony.
Rabbi Kaplan will truly make your wedding a very special and loving day!

Words cannot describe how amazing our ceremony was because of only Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan. My parents are very catholic and my in-laws are very jewish. Both parents and families were thrilled. While the flowers were breathtaking, the majority of complements were on the ceremony! Thank you Rabbi Kaplan! You will be part of our hearts and lives forever.

Rabbi Kaplan is the best for interfaith weddings, which is what we had. The ceremony was perfect and he helped us a lot along the way. All of our guests enjoyed the ceremony as well because Rabbi Kaplan explained what everything meant throughout the ceremony and because it all went by very quickly. It was perfect!

Rabbi Kaplan was great! He is very easy going and willing to help. He was very flexible in working with another clergy member in an interfaith service. He explains all the details and really puts you at ease about your wedding.

I had a destination wedding in the North Miami Beach area and needed a rabbi who would do an inter-faith marriage. I was recommended Rabbi Kaplan by another vendor and instantly knew he was perfect from our first meeting. He is very easy to talk to, open minded, modern, and well spoken. He wanted to make sure that the ceremony would be interesting and meaningful to my Jewish and non Jewish guest. He was even open to incorporating Mexican traditions into our ceremony. His words were beautiful and relatable to my husband and I, as well as all our guest. Guest called me after the wedding to tell me that they felt like the rabbi was very charming and refreshing. I would definitely recommend him
