We hired Jeff to sign our license at our home with our 2 children present. He was very responsive via email and had availability the next week. When he arrived he preformed a very sweet, short service for us. It was exactly what we wanted. He made us feel at ease. When we have our formal wedding down the line, we will definitely contact Jeff to preform that ceremony for us.

We could not have asked for a better experience and highly recommend Jeff! Jeff was extremely friendly and professional. Our wedding was a quick elopement. We traveled to Virginia with the plan of eloping. We reached out to Jeff that morning to see if he would be available that afternoon to marry us. Not only was he available and accommodating, but he helped us navigate the process of obtaining a marriage license (during COVID). Our expectations of a basic courthouse wedding were completely exceeded. Jeff provided us with many beautiful location options to have our small private ceremony since we were not familiar with the area. We ended up having our civil ceremony in Alexandria right on the water at Oronoco Bay Park. We could not have asked for a better experience and are grateful Jeff was a part of our special day!

Jeff was our first and only officiant prospect for our wedding this past June. We met him virtually after COVID hit via Facetime and immediately knew that he was going to be our officiant pick. He was professional with a great sense of humor that complimented our style and asked questions about us as well as filled us on on his services and how he runs a ceremony. Once we made the decision, Jeff worked with us every step of the way and provided us with several pre-written ceremonies that we could mix and match to our liking, which we did; as well as included some custom statements ourselves. Jeff was very easy to work with while doing this, and provided our ceremony exactly as we outlined. His responsiveness was often within a day or two and always very helpful. On the day of the ceremony, Jeff arrived promptly on time as discussed and went over a few things with me (the groom) and my soon to be wife separately, beforehand. Everything went exactly as planned, and we coul... Read mored not be happier with his services provided. Jeff was great and fun to work with, especially during this national crisis, and worked through all of our questions and needs. We would recommend him highly to anyone in the area. Thank you Jeff!!

If you're reading this....let me quickly summarize the rest: hire Jeff now! We "shopped" around and Jeff blew everyone else out of the water. While every vendor will "get to know you," Jeff GETS TO KNOW YOU! We had no doubts about hiring Jeff. As we approached April 10, we decided to postpone the main wedding but still hold an intimate ceremony with our family. Jeff rescheduled our "main" wedding and we hired him for the small ceremony. He was excellent in every way; not only did we love him, many of our guests shared their compliments with us about Jeff. We cannot wait to have him lead the ceremony again when we can have everyone attend! There is a reason he has conducted over 3,000 weddings and is award winning.

Jeff is great and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!!! We had the most beautiful ceremony, lots of tears from our guests at the beautiful words that Jeff shared. We knew from the time that we had our initial FaceTime introductory call that Jeff was the right choice. Thank you so much Jeff for making our dream wedding ceremony come to life!!! We are forever grateful for the memories we have of the beautiful ceremony that you helped make come to life!

Jeff Maszal was honestly everything we could have asked for and more! He worked closely with us to create a customized ceremony script that was a fusion of the Greek Orthodox and Catholic religions. It was very important to me to incorporate certain elements of Greek tradition/culture in the wedding, and I was so pleased that Jeff was familiar with all the specifics (e.g. the crowns, the dance of Isaiah, etc.). Our guests were also so impressed with him - they thought he was extremely entertaining, and was able to keep the mood light and happy. He walked everyone through the various elements of the ceremony, keeping them included and engaged throughout as well. Multiple guests came up to us after the ceremony to let us know that Jeff was the best wedding officiant they had ever witnessed. We highly recommend him for your wedding!

My husband and I found Jeff on Wedding Wire because we didn’t know anyone in our family or friend group that was an officiant. We clicked with Jeff instantly during our initial FaceTime call. Even before the ceremony everyone loved Jeff! Most of our friends and family thought we knew him before the wedding 😂 He made our simple ceremony perfect and I can’t wait to watch it over and over. Jeff is a great guy to work with for your wedding ceremony- answers any questions that you have and will do whatever it takes to make your wedding ceremony special!

I emailed Jeff as we tried to book with 2 other celebrants but they were already full. Jeff answered all of our emails and any doubts we had were properly taken care of. The ceremony was beautiful and was exactly what we wanted. I recommend Jeff to anyone !

Jeff was so great! I contacted him about a week out from our civil ceremony (waiting until the last minute, of course) and I'm so glad he was available!! He performed what he calls "an elopement ceremony" with just our parents present. Jeff suggested a great location in Alexandria, right next to the courthouse and while we hit a few hiccups right before the ceremony, he absolutely kept his cool. Jeff helped us take some family photos, waited with us while our parents were lost/stuck in traffic and even took his time to get to know us while we waited. He delivered exactly as promised and if our close friend wasn't doing our actual wedding ceremony, I would've signed Jeff up in a heartbeat!! Trust me, you won't regret working with him!

Jeff was fun and easy to work with, and really helped us create the customized ceremony that we wanted. We went into the process not really knowing what to expect, but he put us at ease and gave us so many options of things to do with the ceremony, which we really appreciated.

We hired Jeff for our 5/5/21 wedding and he was just great. EVERYONE commented on how professional yet fun he made our ceremony, and it felt very special to us. We had a casual, no-aisle-no-music-no-cues ceremony, which can make it difficult to transition from giving away the bride to the vows, etc., but Jeff handled it beautifully and it felt very natural. Exactly what we wanted and we couldn't be happier. He even thinks of details like where to put your hands and where to stand so the photographer can get the right angles and lighting, and he gave us easy-to-follow directions so we didn't look like clueless idiots (which we were!). My sister-in-law gave us a hard time that we didn't use her as an officiant, but the ceremony clearly showed why and that we definitely made the right choice in hiring Jeff.

Our experience working with Jeff was amazing from start to finish. Jeff has been really responsive and understanding from our first email communication to our final meeting before our wedding. He had great content for us to choose from for our ceremony and he managed to work in details about my husband and I during the ceremony that really made it feel like we were all friends and our ceremony was highly customized just for us. Jeff was also a joy to work with through all of the uncertainty of COVID. He was happy to be flexible when we had to postpone and we didn't feel like he was trying to take advantage of the situation by charging us "administrative fees" when we had to change our date. We even had several guests reach out to us saying things like, "I know you don't normally compliment the officiant at a wedding, your officiant was amazing!" I can't recommend Jeff enough if you're looking for someone to officiate your wedding.

Jeff was amazing. He made the ceremony planning process so easy. Even using the templates he provided, our ceremony felt unique, personal, and beautiful. Several of our guests commented how nice the ceremony was and the good impression Jeff made. One couple said they wished they had known about him for their own wedding.

After COVID-19 derailed our original wedding plans in MD, we found ourselves scrambling to get legally married in VA. Jeff was very responsive and helpful when I reached out about a marriage license signing, and he came to our apartment on our original wedding day and married us right in our livingroom! It was certainly not how I imagined getting married, but it was perfect nonetheless. Thank you, Jeff, for being so flexible and making this happen for us!
