Jacob Marries

Jacob married us at the Central library. He was both fun and serious, he walked us through using our own vows, and made our ceremony simple and moving. I was very happy with the ease of communication, his price, and his overall mien. Thank you Jacob, we are very happy!

Look no further, Jacob is your man! He is super professional and easy to work with. He knew exactly what my husband and I envisioned for our ceremony.

Jacob was an incredible asset to making my wedding nice. He had a good sense of humor and he was a fun person. He worked with us to create a great ceremony. He was personable, friendly and kind. All the guests liked him.
I definitely recommend him like an officiator.

My daughter recently got married and he was the nicest and most wonderful man to marry them. He made everyone laugh and he made everyone cry (in a good way!) I think the thing I liked most was he added there little kicks into it. Overall very professional and would recommend 10 fold.

I’m about (7) months late in doing this review…(Sorry, Jacob)…
Jacob officiated my sister’s wedding back in March. He was so wonderful. The officiant was the first thing we booked for the wedding and the moment we met Jacob, we knew he was the right fit. He is so kind, thoughtful, and really gets to know you. Communication via email was easy, he was present for the rehearsal, and did an incredible job at the wedding. Thank you, Jacob for making it such a beautiful day! =)

I“m really not a Unilocaler but Jacob is fantastic and I had to write. We had three days to plan our elopement. Jacob was flexible and met us at a private park with just a couple days notice. We were expecting a quick 10 second «I do» formality but Jacob really turned it in to something special and unique just for us. I really appreciate Jacob and wish him every success. He’s thoughtful and understands how important your day is, even if we just considered it a formality. He’s wonderful and would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind-​hearted person to hitch them.

Jacob rocks! He was so nice and friendly. He was very prompt and such a joy to be around. The ceremony was spot on and flawless. Thank you Jacob for the wonderful ceremony and memories. He also took photos for us!

We had a great wedding at Griffith Park. I was happy Jacob had nice places to suggest since I was visiting from out of town.

Our wedding planner referred us to Jacob because he was, in her opinion, one of the best and friendliest officiants in the area. When my husband and I first met with him, he was so personable and easy to get along with. He took the time to get to know us and our story, which he later incorporated beautifully into our personalized ceremony. Since we had no idea what we wanted in a ceremony, he patiently walked us through each step and used his tablet to guide us through examples of ceremony language so we could decide on which styles we preferred. Shortly after our meeting, he sent us a draft of the ceremony via Google docs and allowed us to edit freely over the next several months. He also prepared our marriage licenses with barely any effort from our end (everything was done electronically). He didn’t even ask for a deposit up front, so we paid in full with a check on the wedding day.
The day of the wedding, he really shined. He was such an energetic and enthusiastic speaker who really engaged the audience. My husband and I were comfortable up at the altar because we knew exactly what he was going to say — no surprises (we’ve seen some awkward stuff said by officiants at others’ weddings before!). After the ceremony, several friends came up to us and asked if Jacob was our friend. That’s how much he was able to capture our story after just one meeting and how much we were able to truly personalize our own ceremony. Thank you for being such a wonderful officiant, Jacob!

I would like start with Jacob is a wonderful officiant. He went out of his way to get know my husband and I. He personalized our ceremony based on our spiritual beliefs and humor. Easy to get along with, pays attention to detail, very understanding and accommodating. I received many compliments of the ceremony and inquires of Jacob. Thank you Jacob you made my wedding a memorable day for my family, husband and I. Wedding day 9÷6÷15

Jacob was great. He was flexible and accommodating. He allowed us to Skype our meeting with him since our busy schedule made it difficult to cross town to meet him. The shared GoogleDocs he uses to edit ceremonies is great since we could work on the ceremony together over a span of several months. He also has a large collection of samples of the different sections of the ceremonies that was great to pull ideas from. We got married outside of LA county but he was willing to travel to OC for our wedding at no additional cost in exchange for not traveling to our rehearsal. The ceremony could not have turned out better. It had all of our personal touches in it. Several of our guests approached us after the ceremony to ask us if we knew Jacob personally. Could not have asked for a better officiant.

We had the pleasure of having Jacob officiate our wedding in June. As my wife and are of different cultural and religious backgrounds, this was a challenging task. However, after one meeting, we immediately felt that Jacob was the perfect person for the job, and we weren’t wrong!
The months prior to the wedding were collaborative and easy. Jacob was available via email and promptly returned all our messages. He drafted a ceremony personalized for us, and we were able to view and edit it accordingly. In addition, he was also able to issue our marriage license on the day of the wedding, which was extremely convenient for a busy couple like us.
Jacob’s ceremony message was uplifting, personal, and humorous. He was able to incorporate meaningful and personal stories. He kept the guests engaged, and we have received many compliments since.
Thank you Jacob for making our ceremony so meaningful and memorable! We HIGHLY recommend Jacob to anyone planning a wedding.

This review comes really late! Jacob married us last year on July 12. And I never got around to review him! I just want to say that Jacob is AMAZING!!! He made our day very special. He was very upbeat and we loved it! He was so patient! Our ceremony was at 12. And I was 25 min late. He was so nice and kind enough to wait! He made our vows very special. He even send us a copy of how the whole ceremony will before the big day. And I loved that because I was able to imagine everything and it was great! I was so sad we didn’t get a picture with him but I’m glad that he was there and was a witness to our union. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to do something special, affordable and personal! He is amazing!

My husband and I decided to elope and needed to find an officiant ASAP. We searched on Unilocal and found Jacob and with many wonderful Unilocal reviews, we decided to call him. Jacob was very nice and is technological savvy. He sent us a link to a google doc to edit with our names and vows. He met us at brand park a week later with a few family members and friends. He made us feel safe and reassured us that we chose the right guy to become our officiant. He was passionate, kind, friendly, and even took pictures of us with my friends and family. He was even patient when we were running a bit late. He’s a great human being and I highly recommend Jacob!

Jacob is amazing at what he does! I found him on Unilocal last fall for the wedding that we hosted last month.
From the very beginning he was very easy to communicate with and was up front with everything we could expect. Just after the new year, we met with him and it was like catching up with an old friend. We were confident in our choice to have him perform our ceremony!
He learned our story, was intrigued to find the personal touches and then emailed a ceremony to us that we could edit as we chose. The process was so simple yet the ceremony was touching and heartfelt… in fact, during our reception… friends and family wanted to know where this ‘long lost friend’ had come from to marry us.
They were shocked to hear we had only met him face to face one time prior.
He’s professional yet personal and will provide the atmosphere you request. We wanted our ceremony to be casual and fun and he more than provided that for us!
Email him with confidence… he can’t disappoint!

I just got married on Sunday april 26^th. And I’m on my honeymoon writing a review! I had to. He was the best officiant ever. He personalized the ceremony. Talking about how me met. Our beliefs. A few funny lines about us. I actually found him through Unilocal.And I’m so glad I did. He also showed up for the wedding rehearsal and took care of the marriage license. Which was great cuz there’s so much going on and one less thing to worry about is great. We kept in touch often. And he sent me a template of the ceremony. And when I wanted something edited differently he did it right then and there. Point is. He’s freakin awesome!!! I only interviewed him. Because he impressed me a lot. No need to interview anyone else. So stop searching for an officiant… Jacob is your guy!

I’m so glad we had Jacob to officiate our wedding on October 12, 2014. He was one of the only officiants I came across that didn’t have extra charges for mileage, attending the rehearsal, etc. He was also very quick to respond to my emails. As soon as we met with him, I knew he was the right choice for us. Jacob started by asking us questions about ourselves and how we met, and got to know us. He then walked through each section of the ceremony and allowed us to have input from start to finish.
One of my favorites things during our ceremony was the fact that Jacob held the mic up to us as we were repeating our vows. I’ve been to so many weddings where you can’t hear the couple or anything going on except for what the officiant is saying. I highly recommend Jacob to couples who are searching for an officiant for their special day!

Thank you Jacob for making our special day so special! All of your guidance made it easy for us to pick the perfect spot and the perfect vows. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

We got really lucky when it comes to Jacob. I kind of put off finding an officiant but he happened to have our date open. From the beginning he was fabulous. We had gotten a new dog that was having trouble crate training and couldn’t be left alone. He met us somewhere that we could bring our new dog. He took the time to talk with us and find out all about us and our relationship. He even showed us different ways to say things in the ceremony to see our vision.
The day of the wedding wedding was no less amazing. He really made it about us. I had decided to do my own twist on a unity ceremony and he took the idea and ran with it. People loved every minute of the ceremony. He made it so much about us that people thought he was a friend of ours. I would recommend him to everyone!

My husband and I recently tied the knot and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our ceremony, thanks to Jacob. He was great from the moment we met with him. He’s very kind and cheerful and we could tell that he was genuine. Luckily he was available on our wedding date. Even before we booked him, he provided us with general outlines and ideas for our ceremony. We were able to communicate via email and Google docs, which was very convenient for us.
Jacob provided us with several options and was receptive to our vision and preferences when we put our ceremony together. He took care of the marriage license for us as well, which was so helpful! We had more than enough to worry about.
We were so thrilled that his servicea included the rehearsal. Jacob arrived at our venue on time and guided us through our rehearsal. After the rehearsal, we all felt much better and had a better idea of what to expect.
On our big day, Jacob was on point and delivered a sweet and heartfelt ceremony. We really felt that it was tailored to fit us perfectly. Our friends and family raved about Jacob and loved our ceremony.
