has different options based on your preference starting from the way he comes dressed to the details and options of the vows. Come 2020, everything that was planned 2 years ago pretty much went out the window due to the corona virus. Jeff stayed calmed, reached out to update us on the situation, and listened to what we wanted to do. He even provided some suggestion on where to hold the mini ceremony since every thing was pretty much closed during the lockdown. We got married on our original planned date (08/15/2020) and pushed the wedding celebration out a year. Thank you Jeff for making our mini wedding ceremony so memorable during the pandemic. We can’t wait to see you again next year (08/15/2021) for the big celebration.

Jeff was great! From the very beginning he was very helpful with providing information about all the processes, requirements, and things to know about getting married. I found a dead end in my search for obtaining a marriage license by the time...
I needed it since many counties were booked for a while or simply closed due to COVID. However, within the next couple hours Jeff texted me another county that was a walk in. He really goes out of his way to help you. The next day his services were great. From the ceremony itself, to the pictures and videos he took, to the unexpected champagne and toast. Jeff was also very welcoming to my wife and guests at his home where the ceremony was held. He is very outgoing, caring, funny, helpful, and an all around great person to know or be around. I would definitely recommend Jeff to all.

Hi Raymond, it was such a pleasure to serve you and Samantha for your wedding! Thanks for your kind words! I will be glad to serve other Marines like you and help in every way I can. Many congratulations to you! Jeff
STOP looking and book SoCal Christian Weddings! We are so glad we found Jeff! He is super organized, professional and punctual. My favorite things about Jeff is that he guides you and leads you through EVERYTHING! Yes, that's right EVERYTHING! ...
He leads you through your entire ceremony, so you don't have to worry about a thing. Jeff does a “mini” rehearsal in his home so you can get a feel for how your ceremony will be. He even guides you all the way through to getting your marriage license and all the hidden details of getting married. My husband and I got SO many compliments regarding Jeff after our wedding from friends and family! Jeff was actually one of my favorite wedding vendors we booked, and we are so pleased we chose him after researching so many officiants. We can't thank you enough Jeff!

most in tears watching you walk up the aisle! Best wishes to both of you for a lifetime of happiness together! Jeff (Rev. Dr. Jeff Saville)
I found Jeff on Weddingwire and really liked his passion in uniting Christian couples, and others seemed to value his work as well. My husband reached out to him and he got back to him within less than and hour. My husband and I met with Jeff ...
and instantly connected with Jeff. We decidee to work with Jeff on premarital counseling, and also had him lead our ceremony. Jeff truly took the time to get to know us the 6 months leading up to our ceremony. He wrote a custom ceremony speech that we loved and was personal and gave us options and ideas of certain prayers, vows, and bible verses to include as part of our ceremony.
As part of preparation for our ceremony, Jeff went over logistics of what the ceremony was going to be like from how we stand, hold hands, to where we pose when up at the alter or down the aisle for certain pictures, which seemed common sense, but day off, it helped us so much what to do and be more relaxed knowing how crazy and nerve racking day it was. We did get some amazing pictures with his tip!! ;)
Jeff was professional throughout our wedding planning process. He was friendly, understanding, flexible, and punctual. I highly recommend Jeff to be a part or your "A-team", he will exceed your expectations!! Thank you, Jeff!
Dr. Rev. Jeff did a great job at our wedding in April at Falkner Winery. He is timely, well dressed and gives more instruction than likely any other officiant we’ve seen or met. And believe me, nervous brides and grooms need all the instruction...
they can get. Because they don’t think about the little things in advance like how to hold the ring as they put it on their spouse’s finger for the best photo opportunity. He does guide you through this. He also does a thorough run through/consult a few months before the wedding where you get to practice and ask him tons of questions as he gets to know you better. His military background shows with his attention to details and voice projection. He was ok with our dog being in the wedding, but only after some discussion on our game plan of how the pup would remain behaved. Which was a good thing, because it led us to hiring a handler and really thinking about how we would implement a dog ring-bearer in the safest way, without “winging it”. Overall we were very happy with the professional and streamlined ceremony that we had dreamed of. Thanks Jeff!
BY FAR the greatest choice we made when it came to planning our Wedding was choosing Jeff to bless our Marriage and lead our Ceremony. If I could give 10 Stars, I would. I have recommended (without an ounce of hesitation) Jeff to everyone we kn...
ow in the area that is on the path of planning their Wedding. He was so relaxed, organized, personable, and comforting through out the process but he also brought us a great deal of both comfort and excitement on our Wedding Day. He also put up with our crazy schedules, and our crazy family (thank you, again!) Our Ceremony and the words he spoke to us, and about us to our friends and family are a life long memory I will always treasure. I highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend Jeff.

order to deliver a personalized message during the ceremony. I don’t know if it was a coincidence but RIGHT before our ceremony began, Jeff came into the bridal suite to go over everything one last time. His words during that moment calmed me more than I can say. Jeff’s presence is wonderful and I’m so happy we found him. Our ENTIRE experience with him was so much more than we could have ever asked for. It is so obvious that he cares about others and truly enjoys what he does. My husband also appreciated the tasteful Marine jokes thrown in at just the right time! Jeff, words do you no justice. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our ceremony as beautiful as it was. Thank you for your prayers. You are a beautiful person with an amazing gift that I’m excited for you to continue sharing with others. God bless.

Keri, your kind words are appreciated! What a great day it turned out to be! Many blessings from both of us to both you and Gary! Jeff and Rebecca
I was extremely pleased with Jeff. Count me under his biggest fans list. Leading up to the wedding he took time to get to know us as a couple and as individuals and made the whole deal seem very personal. We met in person, spoke on the phone an...
d did video chats with him several times, planning these interactions was a breeze as he worked around our very different schedules. Through these interactions he helped us to appreciate the commitment that we were soon going to be making to each other but he also gave us many tips on how to make the ceremony the best that it could be. That included tips on how to pose for pictures, how to hold hands etc., but he also knew that we probably wouldn't remember all of it so during the ceremony he was whispering in our ears ways to optimize the moment.
Getting to the ceremony itself, it was even better than I expected (and I had pretty good expectations considering I had read the ceremony script beforehand). His delivery was fantastic. The touching moments were delivered with reverence and the funny moments he sprinkled in were done tastefully and at proper times. All of the guests were very impressed and spoke about him to me all night. My aunt in particular is still saying how much she loved his delivery, and another of the guests who is local to the area went so far as getting Jeffs information so he could recommend him to friends.
After the ceremony Jeff took a few pictures with us (which he promptly texted to us), shook our hands, wished us luck and sent us off for more photos with family and friends. We were lucky enough to have him hang around a bit after that so I got to speak with him some more before he took off.
I have a very high regard for Jeff in a professional capacity for the ceremony and all of his help leading up to it. But as highly as I think of him as a professional, I think more of him as a person. As I mentioned before, he took the time to get to know us, and us him and I am left with as good of an impression as anyone Ive ever met. He is a very kind and genuine person and I look forward to hopefully getting to see him again and see one of his ceremonies from a spectators point of view. If I had the capability to write better words about him I would, but this is the best I can do. I recommend you speak with him and youll be left with the same impressions I have.

Jeff was such a great addition to our wedding. He really took the time to make it a personal and intimate ceremony. We received so much great feedback about how special it was. We appreciated all the time he spent with us, getting to know us o...
ver dinner and learning about our relationship so he could speak to it on our big day. He is very organized and has so much knowledge on so many aspects of the ceremony so if you ever have any questions he is a fantastic resource through the planning process. He had so much feedback and advice for us that we felt so at ease with him as our officiant. He arrived early and was very prepared. The ceremony went on without a hitch (except for a few tears on my end). We definitely recommend Jeff!!!
Let me start by saying that initially I was completely against finding a random officiant online to officiate our wedding! I wanted someone who knew my hubby and I - what made us special and what is important to us. But as the day got closer an...
d we were unable to find someone who felt right in our personal lives, I found Jeff on The Knot and decided to give him a call. I could not be more happy that we chose Jeff to officiate our wedding. He took the time to get to know us on a deep level and gave us the most personable and beautiful ceremony. Our family and friends had no clue that Jeff had not known us for years and we had so many compliments on how special our ceremony was. Jeff is just really good at his job - he knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable and how to make a beautiful ceremony. Thank you Jeff!!

special!
For our tiny wedding, we were looking for an officiant that we would be comfortable with, respect our values, and have a well structured premarital counseling program using Prepare and Enrich. After an initial consultation with three officiants...
, two in person and online with Jeff, we decided to go with Jeff.
We first asked Jeff for an initial consultation on a Sunday morning and he was able to meet with us online in the same afternoon. Before our first meeting, Jeff asked us to complete a form that made us reflect on our relationship based on three types of love (eros, phileia, and agape). These reflections were very useful for us and for Jeff to know us better, and they ended up being part in our ceremony. From the beginning Jeff was flexible to work with us regarding the way we wanted our ceremony and our vows as long as it met his minimum requirements of having at least one passage from the Bible, at least one prayer, and mentioning the name of Jesus Christ at least once. After we put together a draft of our ceremony, which included a hand ceremony adapted from a script provided by Jeff, we met online and Jeff worked with us to polish and improve the overall flow.
For the premarital counseling, we met in Jeff's house three times. We discussed and worked on several aspects of our relationship based on the results of the Prepare and Enrich questionnarie and other tests. These were very helpful sessions that gave us tools to work towards a fulfilling and happy marriage.
On the day of our ceremony, Jeff arrived one hour early and worked with our guests to explain how the ceremony would proceed. We did not have a wedding rehearsal since our wedding was tiny. Jeff tips during the exchange of the rings for good photos were very helpful.
We were very happy to have Jeff as our officiant and counselor. He was professional and punctual all times and worked with us for a memorable ceremony from day one. Thank you, Jeff!
My wife and I have been married before and we just wanted to get married and not have to concern ourselves with the burden of a large wedding. We simply knew we found the right person for the rest of our lives. We needed to tie the knot and our...
original plan for a pastor fell through. We were in a pinch and needed a fill-in fast.
My wife contacted a reverend through an app she found. She made contact and moments later I called and was talking to the Reverend Jeff Saville. I am a retired Navy Chief and a doctoral student and I learned the reverend was a retired Navy Chaplain and a Doctor. Moreover, the location we chose was an on base church Rev. Saville had given sermons in before. I have to say, the Lord was at work and put Rev. Saville in touch with us and he seemed too good to be true. Rev. Saville was very nice, great sense of humor and as a messenger of the Lord, he was LOCKED ON. He explained how it all works and reminded us of what paperwork we would need to bring to the ceremony. He followed up after our phone conversation with emailed documents and assistance with our vows as we chose to create them ourselves.
On the day of the wedding, my wife and I were running 30-45 minutes late as life would have it. Rev. Saville was already at the location and he was very patient. He opened the church and had it ready for us when we arrived. Once we arrived I had to explain that my shoes were not the proper shoes for the dress blues I was wearing because my shoes literally fell apart upon a test walk around the house. As it turned out, Rev. Saville had a similar incident happen with his shoes and he arrived in his camouflage uniform. He brought his dress blues and put them on but had green socks. Feeling better about my mistake, we agreed to just wear socks for the ceremony and this gesture brought levity. Rev. Saville walked us through the entire plan of what we would do and gave us options to conduct the ceremony. We followed his plan as it was great! Rev. Saville made not only my wife and I feel at ease but also our kids as well. He gave us words to live by during the ceremony and made our entire ceremony professional, meaningful, eloquent, and sincere.
When the ceremony was completed, Rev. Saville took pictures for us and again included our children and made the picture taking, which can be boring for kids, a fun and memorable time. Our photos came out very professional and we appreciate him helping us with pictures.
Overall, Rev. Saville’s humility made our wedding memorable, professional, and in touch with what was happening with our tardiness as well as the shoe mishap. He rolled with each issue and turned it into a positive fun part of our memories. He went above and beyond to help us with all the things we thought were major and he made them seem not so bad which allowed us to focus on getting married.
The last thing I wanted to thank him for was being accessible. He was always available and responded fast. Very impressed!! Thanks Rev. Dr. Saville!!
I actually found Jeff from Yelp. He had great reviews so my fiance (at the time) and I decided to give him a call. We were so happy we did! Jeff was AMAZING! Jeff married us on October 14, 2017. He was very easy to talk to and I appreciated tha...
t he wanted to meet us face to face 1st before the wedding. There he took notes about our relationship and my husband and my interactions with each other. He then put all this in our ceremony which made it very personal and special. He then went over the ceremony with us and we both loved his attention to details. He positioned us and instructed us on a few key elements that were beautiful in pictures!
Jeff presented himself very well during the ceremony and broadcasted his voice very well! We included a cord ceremony and a wine ceremony in which we wanted to included in our ceremony and Jeff did such a beautiful job in both ceremonies! I had many guest came up to me saying Jeff lead a beautiful ceremony! I had others say this was the most beautiful ceremony they have ever seen. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone! He was amazing and made our special day so much greater. Thank you again for everything Jeff!
