Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan

Rabbi Kaplan was fabulous. He has a wonderful sense of humor. He is thoughtful, thorough, engaging, and kind. We loved his reform attitude.

Love Rabbi Kaplan! Warm and wonderful ceremony done on the beach at sunset. Beautiful. I would highly recommend Jonathan Kaplan!

Rabbi Kaplan surpassed any expectations we had for our special day. He speaks very well and makes it so intimate and personal. We are overjoyed with his services and couldn't have asked for a better Rabbi to marry us. He showed up early to the ceremony and ran through a nice rehearsal for us. He also designed and personalized the most beautiful Ketubah for our special day. He conducted his ceremony in such a way that we felt very comfortable and at ease. I highly recommend and WILL continue to refer Rabbi to anyone I know!! Thank you again for making our day the most special of all days!! Love,
Jamie and Joseph

Rabbi Kaplan was wonderful, he was receptive to the tone we were looking for and he created the perfect atmosphere.. we have received numerous compliments from guests about the ceremony. He really added greatly to our perfect day.

We did a duel faith wedding and Rabbi Kaplan did it perfectly. He incorporated both faiths equally and he did it with such class. Everyone has emailed and texted on how good he was.

Rabbi Kaplan did a mitzvah. We where married interfaith and he worked well with our Minister. You could not tell he never worked with each other. Our ceremony was perfect.

Rabbi Kaplan was outstanding. When looking for a Rabbi for our wedding, my wife and I met with several before settling on Rabbi Kaplan. Aside from coming highly recommended, it was so easy to relate to him and discuss our relationship and our hopes and dreams for the wedding and life afterward. Each subsequent meeting with him as the wedding neared, we grew more and more enamored with him. At the wedding, he delivered a perfect mix of age-old Jewish tradition and contemporary twists, with great anecdotes, sincerity, warmth and humor. I probably had a dozen people come up to me at the wedding and comment on how fabulous Rabbi Kaplan was. We could not be happier with our choice of Rabbi.

Rabbi was excellent!!! Everyone loved the ceremony and the words the rabbi had to offer. This was an interfaith wedding and all the values and symbolism were explained so that everyone appreciated the Jewish religion. Would highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan.

Rabbi Kaplan was AMAZING!!! We couldn't have asked for a better person to marry us. It was so wonderful to hear so many people at our reception telling us how great he was. There were people there that had never been to a Jewish wedding before and were so impressed. From the first time we spoke on the telephone, we knew he was the one.
Thank You so much to Rabbi Kaplan. He was the BEST!!!

I would recommend Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan for any occasion. He is upbeat and makes you feel comfortable. He presided over a family member's funeral and my son's wedding. We were very pleased.

Rabbi Kaplan was excellent in every way. He was professional, calm, spoke clearly and enthusiastically. Kept the ceremony moving quickly and was entertaining with a wonderful personality. Can't go wrong with him, many guests commented how much they enjoyed him.

Rabbi Kaplan was wonderful! I would definitely recommend him! He co-officiated our wedding with a Minister and he was so accommodating and helpful.

We used Rabbi Kaplan for our wedding and he was amazing! His ceremony was perfect. He was funny and he kept the ceremony moving smoothly. He also took some personal family moments and put them in our ceremony. My husband isn't Jewish and he did a great job making his side of the family feel comfortable and included. After the ceremony everyone came up to me and said he was one of the best Rabbi's they've seen! It was absolutely perfection!

Rabbi Kaplan was incredible at our wedding! He was funny, explained everything during the ceremony and was an absolute pleasure to have! We are so happy that he was the person to marry us! I would recommend him to anyone!

Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan was amazing!!!
My husband's family is christian. My husband was OK with just having just an "Interfaith Rabbi" to marry us.
I found Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan off of wedding wire.
As soon as i spoke to him for the first time, i knew i wanted him to marry us :)
Thank you for making our wedding super special. Any questions i had you answered. You had a wonderful personality!

Thanks again,

Mr. & Mrs.

Rabbi Kaplan did an amazing job! He was very kind and really took the time to get to know us before our wedding day and added a personal touch to the ceremony. My husband and I loved his personality and the fact that e took the time to answer a million questions we had about various aspects of the wedding. Our family and friends were all made to feel comfortable no matter what there religious backgrounds were. I highly recommend Rabbi Kaplan for your special day.

Rabbi Kaplan is awesome and has been a part of my families events for the past few years. My husband and I used him for our wedding and was VERY impressed the way he handled the unique situation that we were given. We had to get married by a rabbi and a catholic priest. Rabbi Kaplan was very open, fair and professional in the planning as well as the day of I can't tell you the amount of compliments on how nice the ceremony was with the joining of the two faiths. It was seamless!!! The only reason I gave him a 4.6 out of 5 is because his fee was rather hefty. I guess if the rabbi is a part of a temple, you can just donate a sum to the temple. But, because Rabbi Kaplan is not associated with one specific temple, his fee is at his discretion. Regardless of the fee, we were very happy with the end outcome.

We came to Rabbi Kaplan based on review’s from various websites and his awards as well. As an out of town wedding we were not sure of what vendors to use or which Rabbi would be appropriate. Rabbi Kaplan put our mind at ease right away! He was exactly the type of Rabbi we were looking for, a mix of both spirituality but also someone who embraced modern times.

We met with Rabbi Kaplan one time before the wedding (we flew down) and he was extremely warm and inviting. (He did suggest a Skype meeting but we were already flying down for other reasons) At our meeting he spoke to us both about the ceremony as well as he asked us about our lives and the history of our relationship. This proved to be essential as he interwove this into the actual ceremony and made it much more personal on the wedding day.

On the wedding day, Rabbi Kaplan put us both at ease during both the Ketubah signing as well as the actual ceremony. There was a lot of laughter and we both felt extremely comfortable. During the wedding, I never felt like I was with someone who didn’t care or who didn’t know me as a person. He even included a special prayer at the end of wedding for my mother who is ill and I was very touched by that.

Overall, I was very happy that Rabbi Kaplan officiated our wedding. He led a beautiful service and really made it something personal.

We could not have asked for a better experience with Rabbi Kaplan and would definitely recommend him to friends and family. He is personable, warm, and has a great sense of humor. Rabbi Kaplan listened to us and was genuinely interested in learning about our relationship and what brings meaning into our lives. He also had wonderful advice for us as a couple and made embracing the Jewish culture and traditions meaningful and fun. Our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and Rabbi Kaplan played a huge part in that!

We are so happy with our decision to make Rabbi Kaplan the officiant of our wedding! He was such a pleasure to work with, and he made us feel so comfortable from the very first time we met him right through to the end of our ceremony. It was as if we had known him for years. He was also very professional, knowledgable and easy going. After the ceremony, all of our guests kept coming up to us to tell us how much they loved him. He delivered the ceremony with the perfect combination of tradition and humour, which made it very enjoyable for everyone involved. I would recommend Rabbi Kaplan to everyone!

Rabbi Kaplan has done A LOT for my family so when it came time for my wedding there was no doubt what Rabbi we would use! He did such an amazing job and I'm so happy we chose him to marry us :)

Rabbi Kaplan was very professional and was great to work with. All of our family and friends commented on what a wonderful ceremony he conducted. Everything was perfect. Thank you Rabbi!

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 amazing! He gave a wonderful service that had our guests crying happy tears and hysterically laughing. Our wedding ceremony was perfect because of him.

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 Jonathan was AMAZING! He is funny, kind, gentle, and compassionate. He listened to what we wanted and gave us all that and more. We had a beautiful traditional ceremony that was filled with meaning. Rabbi Jonathan made everyone feel like they were a part of our special ceremony. We recommend him wholeheartedly!

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!

We loved Rabbi Kaplan. The ceremony he provided for our interfaith marriage was PERFECT! I keep hearing over and over what a great service he provided. He is friendly, prompt with emails and phone calls. Excellent communication. Highly recommend.

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 Jonathan is the BEST! My husband (Catholic) and I (Jewish) were married by Rabbi Jonathan and Father Gary with a mixed faith ceremony and it was one of the best parts of our wedding...it was very special and our guests were raving about his performance. Excellent!!!

the rabbi was very open and honest and made us feel very at home!!

Rabbi Kaplan is extremely personable. He makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him. His personality kept our guests feeling involved during the ceremony. I would reccommend him time and time again to a friend.

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.

Amazing man, made our day perfect, everyone loved service and still talks about it!!!

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

Rabbi Kaplan provided us with a beautiful service. He was very easy to work with and allowed us to personalize the ceremony to honor some of our friends and family members while still sticking to a traditional format.

Love Rabbi Kaplan! As a Catholic Bride and Jewish Groom, he really made both sides feel very comfortable. He also incorporated alot of my Filipino traditions with total ease. Rabbi Kaplan never stumbled on any Hebrew words and was totally awesome with dealing with a destination couple from Boston. All my guests were so impressed, many came up to me and said that was the best Rabbi they have ever seen at a wedding. Highly recommended for sure.

Rabbi Jonathan Kaplan was our officiant for our wedding April 23,2010. He is wonderful always with a kind word and a smile. He is the utmost professional and so easy to work with. Rabbi Kaplan took the time to explain every part of the service so all of our guests Jewish and not Jewish could follow with ease. He also takes the time to get to know you and make your ceremony personal to you and your spouse to be. If you have him as your officiant he will also become a friend.

Rabbi Kaplan made our ceremony just wonderful. We had an interfaith wedding, as I am Jewish and my husband is not, and he was extremely accommodating and helpful in planning the specifics of having such a ceremony. Everyone kept coming up to us after the fact and telling us how much they had liked the rabbi in our ceremony! He was great and we are very happy we went with him as our officiant.

Rabbi Kaplan was just perfect as officiant for our interfaith wedding Feb 14, 2010 at the Delray Beach Marriott. His service was very personal as he included my 5 year old step son in the ceremony and Jewish traditions. He also suggested that our son initial the Ketubbah, which really touched my husband. Our guests complimented Rabbi Kaplan for his explanations of the Jewish ceremony traditions and history. We would give him higher than a 5.0 rating if we could!

Fun and Energetic!

I have worked with Rabbi Kaplan on many weddings. I want to say how nice his service is.
He really does a lovely job. Every couple just seem to love him. I recommend him highly
