Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan

s and he came highly recommended by many. We spoke to a few rabbis and chose to go with Rabbi Kaplan since he made us feel the most comfortable, he was super accommodating and cooperative. We loved his vibe and the love we felt through the phone without ever meeting him prior. We felt like we knew each other him for years - that’s the type of guy he is. Throughout the process, he checked in with us and kept us informed with all the steps we had to take before the wedding. He was also super accommodating with any requests we had to make our ceremony be the way we pictured. We felt comfortable to share our wants/the flavor we wanted without feeling judgement (felt judged from other Rabbis about our wishes/thoughts). And then on the wedding day, he was absolutely incredible. Our ketubah signing was beautiful - explained the religious aspect behind it but explained it in a way we understood and kept it light and simple. Our ceremony was everything we wanted - beautiful, loving, warm, and to the point. We did our own personal vows with the traditional vows. He was super supportive of that and since that was going to take up a good amount of time of the ceremony, he kept the other parts short and sweet. We couldn’t recommend him enough! Everyone told us how beautiful our ceremony was and we give a lot of that credit to Rabbi Kaplan - he truly set that stage. And we are proud to say we plan to keep a relationship with him post our wedding. If your questioning who to use, we would recommend setting up a time to meet with him and then you will understood why we chose him! His love and care radiates when you meet him!

t was equally important to me to ensure that the ceremony was inclusive and meaningful for my family and others not as familiar with the ceremony. Rabbi Kaplan was so wonderful in talking to us, hearing out my wishes and getting to know us as a couple. He is extremely personable and he made us feel at ease in our final preparation and on our wedding day. He remained focus on a ceremony that highlighted universal values and relatable interpretation. He made us laugh and coached us through the moments in the ceremony where our nerves got the best of us. Our guests were equally impressed with the ease of his ceremony and how relatable the vows and commitments we made in the context of the Jewish faith.

el 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!

en’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!
