Jeff did a great job officiating our ceremony, and putting together a script for us. We didn’t really have any idea of what we wanted, but he offers a lot of options for each and e...
very element you may or may not want to include making it a lot easier to decide what you need. He delivered the ceremony very well and everyone thought it was a nice ceremony. It was also the perfect amount of timing and information we wanted, not too long and not too short!
Jeff did an amazing job officiating our wedding! My husband and I got married this past September 28, and we are still receiving compliments on how perfect the ceremony was. We dis...
covered Jeff on the Knot, and couldn’t be more grateful we did. Jeff helped us customize our ceremony to make it exactly how we wanted, and offered a wide array of ceremony options to help us along the way. He was available to communicate whenever we needed prior to our wedding date, and on the day of, he made our ceremony dreams come true. He has an excellent speaking voice as well that made for a beautiful evening. We absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an amazing officiant!
We are so happy we used Jeffrey for our wedding! He was extremely reachable, and he allowed us to play an integral part in planning our ceremony. Our wedding guests have raved abou...
t how beautiful they thought the ceremony was.
Jeffrey truly did an amazing job! At our first meeting we discussed different aspects of the ceremony we knew we wanted to include/exclude. He worked with us to ensure the ceremony...
was exactly as we wanted. He even sent us bits and pieces of other ceremonies he has performed so we could go through and see what we liked and didn’t like.
He is very helpful with any questions, concerns, or edits for the ceremony and gets back to you in a thinly manner!
The thing I loved most is that my husband and I basically got the create our own ceremony based off of things we wanted and ideas we got from different ceremonies he sent us.
For any couple who wants to make their ceremony unique to them, you should definitely pick Jeffrey!
If I had to do it all over again, I would 100% work with him again.
Highly recommend!!
Jeff was absolutely phenomenal and delivered a ceremony my husband and I will remember for the rest of our lifetime. It is important to note we originally had another officiant in...
place who was no longer able to accommodate our wedding date, and we now thank our lucky stars for that because we definitely would not have had the amazing ceremony that we did, courtesy of Jeff. As the saying goes, everything really does happen for a reason (I just wish we had found Jeff the first time around!). Even on our short notice, Jeff made room in his schedule to meet with us in person to learn about our special love story and to discuss how to best personalize the ceremony to make it the perfect fit for us. I really love the fact that no ceremony he conducts is the same, that he takes the time to make it unique and tailored to each couple - that alone should be reason enough to include him on your special day. Aside from being very professional and well spoken (he really knows his stuff when it comes to weddings/ceremonies and is a wonderful/captivating speaker during the ceremony itself), Jeff is also incredibly lovely, personable and kind. It was truly a pleasure to have met him and we are beyond thrilled and thankful to have had him officiate. We simply cannot recommend him enough.
Jeff did a beautiful job with our wedding ceremony. He’s a funny guy! I loved that he worked with us to make our ceremony our own. You didn’t feel pressured to make it traditional....
We appreciated the special touches like our proposal story as well as the blessing of the hands. I liked that he was patient with us since it took us a little while deciding what we wanted to incorporate in our wedding. When the day came to marrying us everything came together. Even the weather was on our side. It was a pleasure to have worked with Jeff especially deciding on a wedding date that was 5 months away. It was also wild that Jeff married our photographer years ago. What a small world!
Jeff was recommended to us by our matron of honor, who had her wedding officiated back in 2015. We did not have any cultural or religious requirements for our wedding...which made ...
the ceremony a challenge to initially plan since there were many unknowns. His professionalism and patience was apparent from the first phone call, as we discussed multiple options for rituals, ceremonies, and readings to fill a proper 20+ minute wedding ceremony.
On the wedding day, Jeff arrived on-time and was ready to handle the marriage license documentation. He came in the clutch as well when he reminded us to ensure we had given the wedding bands to the Best Man. The ceremony went on without any delays and everything flowed beautifully at the altar!
I really liked working with Jeff. He found a way to make a personalized ceremony that perfectly represented me and my husband as well as finding a way to resonate with our guests. ...
My favorite part of the ceremony was something that Jeff actually recommended when we were working on the script and I'm so thankful for the suggestion! Unity glass is a great way to have a keepsake of your special day.
Marie was truly a pleasure to work with, and really added a special touch to our special day. Pre-wedding she came prepared with suggestions and material for us to use based on th...
e 'short, sweet, and casual' feel we were going for, and together we finalized the perfect ceremony. Professional and organized, it was a relief to have one less thing to worry about day of the wedding. We received a ton of compliments on how perfect the ceremony was for us, and what a great job Marie did. We truly would not have had the day we did without Marie. I strongly recommend reaching out to Marie and Jeff, they are a blast!
Marie Scofield was our wedding officiant earlier this year on August 2nd, 2018. We got married at the Liberty House Restaurant in Jersey City. Marie is kind, warmhearted and profes...
sional. During the preparation, my wife and I could tell that she really cared about us and our ceremony as she kept sending us questions about the wedding, suggestions and discussing with us on every details that she could think of. On the wedding day, her performance was without any flaws. Her voice was soothing but firm. As English wasn't the first language of most of our guests, Marie also worked with our translator in advance to make sure that she paused at the appropriate moment so that the translator could also do the job. Personally I won't hesitate to recommend Marie to my friends who are to get married because my wife and I both love her so much.
What a pleasure it was to work with Jeff! My husband and I got married in August and from the very beginning, it was very easy to work with Jeff. I was really specific in how I wan...
ted the ceremony to sound (something light and sweet with a little bit of humor). He took the time to go over the ceremony with my husband and I section by section until it was perfect. On the actual day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly and stress-free. The ceremony was everything we hoped it would be and more! After the wedding, we got so many compliments on the ceremony and how it was "so us" and unique. We are forever grateful for what a fantastic ceremony Jeff delivered. We would certainly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing wedding officiant.
Jeffrey was easy to work with and gave us a lot of freedom putting together our ceremony. He was very personable and made us feel very comfortable on our wedding day. Our guests en...
joyed the ceremony a lot.
We warmly recommend him.
Jeff was an absolutely wonderful addition to our wedding day. From start to finish, Jeff was informative, warm and responsive to all questions my wife and I had working to tailor o...
ur ceremony to exactly what we were looking for. He worked with our venue to make sure everyone and everything was in place so make the entire ceremony run as smoothly as possible. We recommend Jeff to anyone looking for a personal, thoughtful ceremony with the right attention to detail. He truly helped make our wedding day that much more memorable.
Jeff was amazing from start to finish! He was kind enough to meet us (2 weeks before our wedding) when we discovered we had an emergency with a friend that was supposed to perform ...
the ceremony. He helped us put everything together so quickly and explained everything very clearly. He is just so kind to work with. The number of compliments we got from our family and friends about the ceremony and the vows were just absolutely amazing!! They all could not stopping talking about it, we truly can’t thank you enough! You made this whole process easy and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend, look no further! Thank you again Jeff for giving myself and Pete something that we will never forget!

al!
Tommy and I got married last week, and people are still telling us how great of a ceremony Jeffrey did! From the very beginning we hit it off, we were able to keep it very personal...
inyet kept our guests awake and involved in our ceremony! It could not have gone better, picking your officiant is one of your biggest decisions in your wedding that can make or break and set the tone for the rest of the day. With that being said Jeffrey killed it, and we couldn’t be happier!
what can i say about jeff, lets start with from the very beginning jeff was very professional with the initial phone contact . he was very easy to talk to and was very detailed. i ...
had no clue as to what a ceremony entails so he gave us a very organized breakdown of what a ceremony should have and how it should fit both our personalities. he gave us wonderful ideas and also ensure that it was not too short or long and customized it to our preference . we wanted it to be both intimate and a lil bit of humor and not too lengthy. he worked with me thru all this and made our ceremony perfect. i had friends and families rave about our ceremony andhow it fit us perfectly. it was beyond beautiful and i wish i can relive the moment. i still have people weeks after talking about it and cries when they describe the love that was filled in our ceremony.i couldnt have asked for a better officiant than jeff ,he also made sure he waited right after the ceremony to see if we were happy and boy were we!! i highly recommend Jeff if you want a personalized loving beautiful ceremony that not only signifies both bride and groom but also if you want humor in it or not or if you wan t the audience to take part in it . go for Jeff!
Jeff was great !he has an amazing Personality and was so easy to work with! He made sure to take care of everything and leave you to not having to worry about anything!

ny was not only the best they have ever heard but how sweet it was because it was so personal. Jeff doesn't do the cookie cutter ceremony and I loved that. You get to select every single part of your ceremony to make it custom to you and your partner. Now I can't wait to get my wedding video so I can watch my ceremony!!!
Jeff was great to work with right from the get go! He provided us with a lot of material to pick from to customize the ceremony, offering suggestions as needed. I got great feedbac...

Jeff was an amazing officiant! My husband and I were both terrified by the process of creating a personalized ceremony, but Jeff couldn’t have made it easier. He encouraged us to p...
ush past our comfort zones (in reality our laziness) and think of writing our own vows to which I am thankful of. Our ceremony was tilted by our guests, “Short and Sweet”, which was exactly what we were hoping for. Jeff was extremely responsive to last minute changes and without them, it wouldn't have been the same ceremony. He provided us with an unforgettable service making it truly the happiest moment in our lives.
Working with Jeffrey was a wonderful experience. He was able to easily guide us in the assembly of our ceremony and was so thorough in ensuring that we would be happy with our cere...
mony. He was able to truly ensure that our wedding ceremony encapsulated us as a couple. We had so many of our guests comment on how unique and personalized our ceremony was and how it "truly captured us as a couple" . Our marriage ceremony was just perfection!
Marie was absolutely fantastic as our wedding officiant! Both my husband I wanted to mix traditional and non-traditional elements in our wedding ceremony and with the help of Marie...
, it turned out better than we could have imagined. We met with her about 5 months prior to the wedding and told her our vision. We immediately felt comfortable with her and it felt like we knew her forever. She was able to get to know us during the casual meeting and it came through during the service and vows. Marie was highly professional and organized which made me feel extremely secure. She answered all my questions quickly and always delivered what was promised on time (a rarity in the wedding world!) After the wedding, she took care of all the paperwork and we didn’t have to worry about a thing! In fact, one of my favorite memories of the day was before the reception and we were having difficulties figuring out the bustle on my dress. My mom, maid of honor, and my husband were all trying to figure it out. Marie came to find us to sign the legal forms and jumped right in to help. She spent 20 minutes with everyone trying to get the dress right! It was so sweet and it felt like she was an aunt or an old friend. It was truly special! Marie is a genuine person and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to marry us! – Renée & Will

WOW! Jeff was a wonderful officiant! He helped us to create a custom ceremony that fit our needs and wants. He was so flexible and even made very last minute changes per my request...
. My sister recommended Jeff to me after she was a guest at another wedding that he officiated. After talking to him on the phone my husband and I knew he was the right officiant for us too. Jeff takes his role very seriously and is extremely organized and gave us so many options. He was able to include both heartfelt and funny moments into our wedding. I cannot thank Jeff enough for helping us before, during, and even after our wedding with our marriage certificate.
What a lovely man. My husband and I chose Jeff as the officiant for our wedding in May 2017. Our situation was difficult, as we live in Australia and had to do most of our wedding ...
planning from abroad. Jeff was so accomodating, agreeing to Skype with us well outside of 'working hours' due to the time difference so we could get to know each other. I felt like he really understood the type of people we are and made sure to help make the ceremony as 'us' as possible. He was always ready with suggestions and advice and constantly put us at ease. I can't thank him enough for helping make our day beautiful. Highly recommended.

ur ceremony was everything we could have ever hoped for thanks to Jeff.

re not the most efficient people, but Jeffrey kept us on track. He helped us personalize our ceremony, and it was a shining part of the day! If you need someone to officiate, pick Jeff; I promise you won't be disappointed.
Jeff is awesome. He helped us create a ceremony that ended up being exactly what we wanted! All throughout the night we had people complimenting us on our ceremony and how much it ...
was "us." Thanks to Jeff, we were able to put our own personalities into our ceremony, while still being as traditional as we wished.
He really puts time and effort into every one of his ceremonies, and it shows that he really loves his job. Thank you so much Jeff!
Jeff made the whole process easy, he was very responsive to our requests.

lanning. He was prompt with arrival, took care of the licensing, etc. and performed a lovely ceremony; a ceremony that our family and friends are still talking about. I couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Thank you, Jeff.
Five stars is not nearly enough! Jeff is absolutely wonderful and a joy to work with.
It was such a great experience having him help us create a custom ceremony with a perfect bl...
end of humor, and his advice was top-notch. For example, we originally planned to light a unity candle during the ceremony, but since our ceremony was outside, he recommended planting a tree instead, with soil from both our families’ homes, since the wind might blow out a candle. We thought that was a great idea, and it turned out to be even more beautiful and meaningful than a candle ceremony would have been. Just perfect.
We really appreciate all his efforts to make our wedding ceremony something truly special and unique. He made it so enjoyable and fun for everyone, and didn't complain once when we kept making edits and updates to the script.
In all, it was a fantastic day and we couldn’t be happier. People are still telling us how beautiful the ceremony was. He definitely goes above and beyond, and helped to keep our stress levels as low as possible. He got to know us, took care of everything for us, and was extremely professional. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an Officiant. We were so lucky to have found him and know you won’t be disappointed.
Truly made our wedding ceremony perfect. Very organized and made sure we got everything we hoped for. Thank you for everything!
Jeff was amazing!! He is very organized and putting the ceremony together was super easy with his help! I had multiple family members comment on how beautiful and personal our cere...
mony was! My biggest concern for the ceremony was that it would feel like it was personal and "for us"- all of which Jeff went above and beyond for! I wasn't sure on how to put together a ceremony (I'm quite the micro-manager!) and Jeff knew just what to say to ease my nerves and how to put it together so it was just right! As far as cost is concerned, we were pleasantly surprised that he was one of the least expensive officiants we have found! Worth every penny! He showed up to the wedding dressed appropriately and professional and took care of all the last minute things I didn't even think to prepare for on my wedding day. He's truly wonderful and how much he loves his work is very evident. Would book him again in a heartbeat!
