We got married October 9, 2021 with Jeff as our officiant and it was absolutely perfect! When we read that Jeff was a retired Navy Chaplain and both my husband and I always had wonderful interactions with them so we had to reach out. His dedic...
ation to his couples is second to none, he took such care in constructing a beautiful and personalized ceremony for us. He provided ample time in his session with us to truly share the blessings of God in marriage but also was REAL about the ups and downs of life and relationships. He was prompt and coordinated great with our venue and fellow vendors. If you want a ceremony that will be forever in your heart, a life long supporter in your marriage you have found your officiant! One of the best things, was the envelop of goodies Jeff gave us to take home after the wedding... the letter and advice enclosed will be used for years to come! Thank you so much,

We got married on 8/26/22 in Poway, CA and literally got the most positive feedback from our guests from how amazing Jeff was. It's one thing, being the couple getting married at the altar, to being a guest who had an experience like that from ...

Kassandra, thanks so much for the sweet words! It truly was a pleasure getting to know you and Steven, and to serve you on your special day! Many blessings to you for a lifetime of married happiness! Jeff
We got married on August 20th, 2022. My husband and I are dual military. We reached out to Jeff who is a retired Navy Chaplain because we believed that he could deliver the best ceremony with professionalism and reverence. He did not disappoint...
! He is extremely kind, flexible, and was dedicated to providing the best ceremony for my husband and I. He was experienced and went over every detail for each step of the ceremony. Me and my husband opted for personalized vows and Jeff reviewed and printed our vows to each other for keepsakes. Jeff provided the most beautiful ceremony and I will always recommend him.

Kelsey, you are so sweet to share these comments--it truly was a pleasure and privilege to serve you and Sean in the beautiful woods of Big Bear! I wish you all the best for a lifetime of married happiness! Many blessings, Jeff
Being a Navy family, we were immediately drawn to Jeff to marry us due to him being a retired Navy chaplain. It was important we had a connection to our family and he was so much more! He didn’t hesitate to reach out after our first inquiry an...
d set up a private meeting with us and welcomed us into his home. He didn’t just go through the motions. He was not only very detailed, but he was very personable. You could tell he cared about who we were as individuals and it made us feel so confident he would bless our marriage. He guided us through decision making and added so many amazing touches that we wouldn’t of thought of. He spent so much quality time on zoom finalizing details and again.. learned even more who we were! The day of our wedding, Jeff put Kendra at ease.. while coaching Daniel and the entire grooms party on what to do so we could be present and not overthink! The ceremony was perfect! So many of our guests just loved him and complimented how the ceremony really was about “us” and. Not cookie cutter. It wasn’t a script.. it was him sharing with our guests our live he has got to know and learn.
I highly highly recommend Jeff to be your officiant! He even lets you pick what he wears based on your attire! I couldn’t imagine it being anyone else! He will forever be a part of our memories and knowing he played such a huge part of our most special day!
Thank you again Jeff!!
We love you!

Hi Brittney, what a great day June 17 turned out to be! I'm truly glad to have served you and Randy! Many blessings to you for a lifetime of married happiness! Jeff
Too Long Didn’t Read: Jeff will take care of you. He will provide great customer service, prepare you, guide you on the day of, and follow up with next steps after it is all said and done. He is worth every penny that we spent and is a genuinel...
y caring soul that people will be thankful beyond words to have an opportunity to work with.
Summary:
Jeff was such a blessing from the initial introduction, through the ceremony, and in the days that followed to ensure that we took care of what needed to get done.
Jeff bleeds customer service through and through, this is evident through how he structured his interactions and the services offered.
He met with us on MULTIPLE occasions both in person as well as on zoom when our schedules didn’t allow for much flexibility. He helped propose a multitude of different options for our ceremony ranging from super structured/ religious, to more modern and personal. He also helped with the writing of the vows (and even gave a wedding gift in the form of having them printed on a beautiful piece of parchment paper).
Special shout-out: JEFF INVITED US TO HIS HOUSE to perform the ceremony and set expectations so that everything on the big day went picture perfect. THE MAN INVITED US TO HIS HOME. Can you believe that? In todays day and age, where it’s so much easier to set a zoom call or just hand out a piece of paper with instructions. He took the time to do this and ease our nerves.
His house is beautiful, his family is beautiful, I don’t have enough good things to say about him.
All of this is useless however unless he delivers on the big day. Fortunately, he did, he led the ceremony amazingly. He was so professional and courteous.
MY ONLY WARNING: Jeff can be a bit long winded. He talks a lot but fortunately it’s only because he actually cares about you and your experience. This is not evident in the actual ceremony (as it is very scripted and custom tailored to your liking) but more so during zoom calls / in person meetings. In spite of this, I would still highly recommend and it is not enough to reduce my overall perfect score.
We really enjoyed working with Jeff as our officiant but also in the months leading up to our wedding for our pre-marital counseling. I loved that Jeff laid out his process to us at the beginning before we even agreed to work together, and was ...
very clear on costs and services - without any surprises. His approach to building our ceremony was unique and customizable, but was structured enough so we didn't start from scratch. He takes the time to do a walk-through of the ceremony with you and prepare any parents or wedding party on their roles ahead of the ceremony so there were no awkward or unexpected moments. Overall, we were very happy to have worked with him for both our wedding and counseling sessions!

Hi Luann,
Thank you so much for the very kind review! It truly was a pleasure to serve you and your family, to get to know Walt and all the others. It was a great day and I was glad to celebrate with you. Many blessings, Jeff
I was the mother of the groom. My son was unable to use the pastor from his church and it was six weeks before the wedding. I started looking online and found Pastor Jeff on The Knot. His biography really stood out from the others and I liked ...
the Christian perspective. He was prompt to respond and his communication was excellent. He was professional and led the ceremony with spiritual substance and humor. His message was powerful and captivating. I would highly recommend him.

Jeff saved the day! Our wedding date was set for April 29th, 2022 and, initially, a family member was our officiant. However, 3 months before our date, she informed us that she was no longer able to do it….we were so stressed out about findin...
g an officiant that quickly. And then my husband found Jeff. We loved that he is a veteran, has a doctorate in theology, is married with children, and a good looking man (great for being in our wedding pictures).
Jeff is personable, professional, attentive, detailed, and organized. He first set up a zoom meeting with us so we could make sure we were a good fit and go over what we envisioned for our ceremony. Then, he emailed us a word document that outlined the details of the ceremony (word-for-word) and different options to choose from. He also helped us develop our Personal Promises to one another. Lastly, he invited us to his home about a month before the wedding to practice our ceremony. He gave us tips on how to stand and hold our hands so our photographer could get the best photos.
The day of our wedding, the ceremony went flawlessly. Jeff is a great speaker. Guests asked us if we knew him personally because of how Jeff spoke about us. And even after the ceremony, Jeff emailed us a receipt of our mailed marriage certificate and detailed the steps we needed to take to obtain our marriage license and change my name. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Jeff officiate our wedding. Thank you Jeff!

Hi Lauren, thanks so much for the very kind words! It was such a privilege to lead the ceremony for you and Travis, and I enjoyed chatting with your parents afterward. Many blessings to you for a lifetime of married happiness! Jeff
Jeff responded very quickly to my request for information, and even though he was not available for my wedding date, he very quickly referred me to a very suitable officiant to meet (and who we chose to book). He could've easily said he was al...
ready occupied on June 10th, 2022, and left it at that, but he took the time and care to find another officiant who was available and compatible. That meant a lot to my fiance and me. So I highly recommend enquiring with Jeff—he responds swiftly, he has many other great reviews for weddings he has led, but even if he is not available for your day, he will promptly refer to you another highly regarded and compatible officiant.

I got married to 2/26/22. Leading up to that date Jeff was extremely responsive and prepared. He welcomed us into his home to properly meet, rehearse, and go over ceremony details. Jeff had the entire outline prepared for us which was an extrem...
e amount of stress off of myself. He is very knowledgable with other wedding aspects and gave us recommendations. On the day of, he was prompt and on time and quickly briefed our family and bridal party on how the ceremony would look. I felt 100% prepared with Jeff by our side on our wedding day and the ceremony turned out perfectly. He provided the appropriate humor when necessary and kept our guests attention.

Hi Lexi, thanks for the kind words, I'm so glad everything turned out so well for you and Bobby on your very special day! It was a privilege to serve you and I wish you all the best for a lifetime of happiness together! Jeff
Jeff was the best decision we could have ever made for our wedding ceremony! If I could give him 10 Stars, I would! I was in search of a Religious Christian Officiant for our Ceremony & when I came across Jeff, I knew I had stumbled upon someth...
ing special. After just one phone call, we immediately decided to work with him. He took his time answering our questions, guided us, and supported our decisions throughout the planning process. He was flexible, reliable, and accommodated our special requests. He helped us write our personal promises, and allowed us to customize our ceremony. On the day of our ceremony, Jeff arrived (early) with our personal promises printed on parchment paper. He walked us through the ceremony before we started, and made us feel so comfortable throughout. The ceremony was beautiful! I was nervous about the windy weather, but Jeff was so confident & professional, we followed his lead and didn’t let the weather ruin our moment. Afterwards, he gifted us a souvenir wedding certificate, and a courtesy packet with name changing tips and marital advice. He event sent us ceremony photos! I don’t know how we could have gotten through our planning, or our ceremony without Jeff. He is the real deal, and goes above & beyond! If you are looking for someone you can trust, someone you can rely on, someone who gives you 100% and someone who actually loves what they do, I would recommend Jeff every time! Thank you, Jeff!
My wife and I are so lucky we had Jeff as our officiant. You can tell he not only loves what he does, but he’s outstanding at it. We didn’t realize how important having a thorough, well-trained officiant was until we met Jeff and had him lead o...
ur ceremony. From the first phone call to the mini-rehearsal in his home all the way to the very end when he sent us a picture IMMEDIATELY after the ceremony for us to share on social media, we were blessed to have had Jeff in our lives. He even walked us through the marriage license process and made sure everything was in order for our big day. We felt safe and comfortable standing in front of all our friends and family knowing Jeff had our backs guiding us smoothly through the ceremony. Jeff’s calmness, confidence and professionalism got us through the most important day of our lives. You’re awesome, Jeff! Thanks for everything - The Mitchels.

had been a Navy Chaplin and loved the Lord was very important to us as believers ourselves. In person, before the ceremony he reviewed steps with us again and set us at ease. Jeff also acted very quickly during the ceremony when he prevented my bride from BURSTING INTO FLAMES as she walked over one of the candles surrounding the ceremony!!! I would definitely recommend Rev. Jeff to anyone looking for a meaningful experience. -bdc

I think his views on Christianity are very approachable to people that are not very Christian. Everyone in our audience, including non-religious folk,...
found him very charming. He strikes a great balance of humorous and serious tones while he's working.
He is a professional through and through. He took a lot of time out of his day to walk us through every step of our wedding ceremony several weeks before. He even guided us through every portion of the ceremony during our actual wedding day.
Jeff was a great pick for our San Marcos wedding in November 2021 and is highly recommended for anyone looking for an officiant who is detail-oriented, easy to work with, and passionate about creating a personalized wedding experience. His comm...
unication was timely and thorough from start to finish and his well-established process allowed for each aspect of our ceremony to be customized according to our preferences, including formal vows, scriptures, ring exchange vows, and optional blending ceremony. He also took time to learn our story during his consultation and incorporated our own written words of reflection on the relationship into his sermon. On the day of, he ensured that all documentation was in order prior to the ceremony and delivered a well-rehearsed and enthusiastic service. Jeff truly pays attention to the small details and ensures his clients are set up for success when it comes to acquiring a marriage certificate, following cues during the ceremony, positioning for the best photos, and creating a ceremony that brings out the unique nature of each relationship.

ked so well with our schedules and budget, too. Jeff is so detailed, personal, and thorough that there were no worries the day of our wedding or even after when it came down to obtaining our marriage license and me changing my last name. We felt assured Jeff was on top of it all, and he most definitely was!
The relationship coaching was also amazing and really strengthened our relationship. Highly recommend investing in his coaching! We’re even seeing it affect our new marriage so positively already! We can’t thank Jeff enough for all he did for us, and we strongly recommend him to be everyone’s officiant.

Hi Sabrina, thank you for the gracious words! We are more than just couple/officiant, we have become real friends through your relationship coaching and all that went into your ceremony! I look forward to remaining in contact in the future! ...
Many blessings, Jeff
From the very beginning Jeff was wonderful to work with during our Relationship coaching! He made it easy and fun to talk about things my fiancé and I normally wouldn’t talk about on our own. Our first session Jeff welcomed us into his home and...
we got to know each other before diving into our SYMBIS results. The cool thing about the coaching that Jeff offers is that it goes hand in hand with an assessment called SYMBIS. This assessment analyzes your personality amongst other things and then compares it to your future spouses. It then gives insight on how you can approach a number of issues that arise in today’s marriages. The rest of our coaching was done via ZOOM to save time on driving back and forth. During our meetings we covered a wide range of topics, addressing some serious topics but also including appropriate humor along the way. We each gained insights into ourselves and into each other. I am very excited to have Jeff officiate our wedding & would recommend him to anyone searching for relationship coaching !!

Jeff showed up early to the ceremony and did a final briefing which helped calm the nerves! Overall, Jeff personalized our ceremony to us and it came out as perfect as we imagined having him up there by our side. The ceremony and everything leading up to our big day was stress free with Jeff. We highly recommend anyone having Jeff as their officiant, he comes with a great background and many years of experience. Thank you again for everything Jeff!

My son and his fiancé, Kevin and Chelsea Walsh married at our home in Indian Wells Country Club on 10/16/2021. They...
interviewed several pastors and decided on Dr Saville. I would like to share with you my thoughts on his service. First off, he is warm and friendly, it felt like he knew them well - this resulted in them relaxing in front of 100+ guests. He spoke to the three (3) different types of LOVE that are required to sustain lifelong marriage (romantic attraction love, friendship love, and unconditional commitment love), he also had a nice balance of solemnity and humor and kept the audience engaged and the ceremony moving. His professionalism and experience with nervous brides and grooms and the connection with the audience was wonderful. I cannot tell you how many attendees raved to me about him.

g day so easy! We met with her at her home a few months before the wedding to create our wedding ceremony. This planning appointment was so helpful. It allowed us to create our perfect wedding ceremony with her and then we also got to do a mini rehearsal, so we could practice before the wedding day. She also was so responsive through emails and texts leading up to the wedding which we really appreciated. On the wedding day, she helped by giving us ques throughout the ceremony, so we did not forget anything. She also made sure everything was handled with the marriage license after the ceremony, so we did not have to worry about that. She also did our premarital counseling for us. We highly recommend using Rebecca if you are looking to do premarital counseling. She was so helpful and supportive to us throughout the entire process. My husband and I both agree that it definitely made our relationship stronger and better.

I was a guest at Trevor and Elisa’s wedding on June 24, and Reverend Dr. Jeff Saville was amazing! He didn’t just officiate the wedding as I’ve seen other pastors do. Instead, he quietly and effectively directed the wedding party so that every...
part of the ceremony was a beautiful photo and video opportunity. I watched him stealthily step out of view several times so that only the bride and groom were in the photos. I watched him discreetly mime directions to the groom to create beautiful photo moments. And I watched him smile his genuine smile throughout a stunning wedding ceremony. I almost believed that the doves that flew by were somehow staged by Reverend Jeff. I can only imagine that the photos and video that the bride and groom get to share together later will be as beautiful as they dreamed. Keep up the great work, Reverend Jeff. Love your style!
We got married on 06/19/2021 and our officiant Jeff was great! From our first zoom meeting with him, to meeting him in person, and then leading up to the big day, he made the whole process feel like a breeze. Come wedding day, he lead an amazi...

Jeff exceeded all our expectations and helped us with every detail of the wedding ceremony. We booked Jeff two years out and he gave us tips to help us with wedding planning because he knows very well that wedding planning can be stressful. He ...
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.

During such a trying time to find a great Christian officiant we were blessed to find Mr. Saville.
It started with a phone call then later a Zoom meeting.

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!

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.

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.

The ceremony went on without a hitch (except for a few tears on my end). We definitely recommend Jeff!!!

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!!

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!
