Wrapping in the tallit
Jake R.

Rabbi Klein is an amazing rabbi, and created a beautiful wedding experience for us! We worked closely with him to design our perfect wedding ceremony, and he absolutely delivered! The ceremony was intimate, and he took care to make the ceremony about us, and included a lot of details from our conversations that made it feel personal. He also brought a beautiful element of Judaism, spirituality, and music to the ceremony. He was knowledgeable about Jewish traditions and customs, and guided us through an examination of our relationship to help us see the joy in our individuality as well as the strength in our shared bonds. It was a pleasure to work with him, and we'd recommend him to everyone!

Our sweet angel poodle crossed the rainbow bridge a month shy of his 18th birthday. I contacted Rabbi Klein, and as we got to talk, I learned he is a zealous animal rights advocate and deeply realizes the importance and impact our fur family has on our lives. Thus, I knew he would be absolutely amazing to conduct my fur baby's funeral. He agreed to lead our fur baby's funeral on a day's notice. Rabbi Klein took the time to ask questions about our fur baby ahead of his funeral. Rabbi Klein has an extremely kind and comforting energy that put us at ease at such a devastating time in our lives. Rabbi Klein conducted an unbelievably beautiful and extraordinarily thoughtful ceremony to honor our fur baby. He recited the prayers in Hebrew and English, and explained the meaning of each prayer. He also prepared a pamphlet with prayers to follow along during the ceremony that had my fur baby's photo to honor him. This gave us such comfort, and will be cherished forever. The extra mile touched our hearts. Thank you again, Rabbi. I would recommend him for any life cycle needs. He's a remarkable man.

When my husband and I began planning our wedding, we thought our biggest challenge would be finding a religious based officiant would open to performing a same sex wedding. Little did we know that we would be able to find many same sex friendly officiants! It turned out that our biggest challenge would be finding one that would perform an Interfaith Ceremony! After hours of internet searches, we came across a website that specialized in matching couples who wanted a religious ceremony with officiants that were open to performing Interfaith weddings. We wanted to have a mainly Jewish wedding, but also be able to incorporate some of my husbands Catholic traditions into the ceremony. We received around 5-6 names of Rabbis in our area that were open to officiating our ceremony. One of the Rabbis on the list was Rabbi Klein. We set up interviews with all of the Rabbis that we were matched with through the website. All of these meetings took place over Zoom due to the pandemic. Although all of the Rabbis were open to officiating our wedding, most of them had some very hard boundaries when it came to the incorporating catholic traditions into our ceremony. This was not the case with Rabbi Klein! After a few minutes of meeting with him, we knew he was the one for us. He did have some requirements that he felt were important in order to preserve the Jewish traditions of the ceremony. However, they were extremely reasonable and he was very open to incorporating the catholic traditions that were important to my husband into our ceremony. During the 9 months between the time we met Rabbi Klein and our wedding date, he really took the time to get to know us! We met at 5 times, twice over Zoom and 3 times in person. In addition we communicated regularly through email, text and phone. But our personal favorite were our in person meetings. For each of the in person meetings, we met at a restaurant for dinner. This really allowed him to get to know us and us him. In fact, we will really miss those dinners! He did such amazing job when he officiated our ceremony! His calm and friendly demeanor made everyone feel comfortable and included. he took the time to briefly explain each of the Jewish traditions, which made all of our guests feel feel included in the ceremony! In addition, his guitar playing added an extra warmth to the ceremony. We received so many compliments about Rabbi Klein from our guests! We would highly recommend Rabbi Klein, if you are looking for an officiant that not only is open to performing same sex and interfaith weddings, but also for those looking for a Rabbi that will work together with you to craft a ceremony that is unique to you and your beliefs and values!

We're having an amazing time, and Rabbi Jonathan's right in there with us!

We were introduced to Rabbi Jonathan Klein through friends of friends of friends, and we are so glad we found him! He is unlike any Rabbi or minister you'll meet. If you're looking for someone special to make your special ceremony unique, Rabbi Jonathan is your man. First of all, he is a true person of God, and by that I mean, he really cares about people, animals, the planet. He's passionate about LGBTQ rights and animal rights and really commits himself to causes that are important. Yet he's very accepting and non-denominational. He's a truly caring person, and having him marry us gave our beautiful wedding an extra feeling of "holiness" that echoed my fiancée's and my special love for each other. It was her first marriage - she'd waited 60 years for me, so the person who married us HAD to be amazing! Rabbi Jonathan is warm and kind, and he made the wedding about us. He really took the time to get to know us beforehand, and he encouraged us to write our own vows to each other. He even had workpapers and questions to help us do that, and so he could learn more about us. During the wedding ceremony, we were both nervous, but Rabbi Jonathan helped us relax. He also has a sense of humor, as you'll see from one of the photos I've uploaded. No rigid Rabbi here! My fiancee and I had an amazing wedding that people are still talking about. Surrounded by happy, loving friends, we had great food, great music and dancing, a great venue, even an artist who drew portraits for our guests and a poet who typed poems for them as well! Rabbi Jonathan Klein was the perfect officiant for the perfect day!

We were a bit lost when it came to selecting an officiant for our wedding and went searching online for a non-denominational option. Long story short - we found Jonathan, and he offered his services to us, despite neither my fiancé nor I belonging to the Jewish faith. It was a fun experiment, and the end result is a testament to Jonathan's ability to draw out the meaning of ritual and tradition, regardless of how they take form. Jonathan is a warm, welcoming person with a deep understanding of humanity through his spirituality. He invested in our wedding from the first meeting and crafted a meaningful ceremony over a month's time. His understanding of our relationship and the greater commitment to marriage was reflected in the script he wrote and performed. It was a gift to us, and our families, to be officiated by Jonathan. We walked away from the experience with a deeper sense of ourselves, as a couple, from the process. We may have hired an officiant, to begin with, but gained a friend by the end.

Rabbi Klein helped facilitate our perfect wedding ceremony. He combined tradition and heritage with contemporary flare, was flexible with our needs and wishes, sang and spoke beautifully and added great simcha and mazel to our special occasion. It was a pleasure having him get to know us and he was prompt, prepared and took away any wedding day stress at an economical rate with value added. My new bride and I could not be happier.

Greg K.

We were very fortunate to get someone as great as Rabbi Klein for our wedding. Everyone at the wedding spoke about how wonderful the ceremony was, how intimate it felt, and the right amount of humor and love mixed in. Actually, I already knew how great Rabbi Klein was going to be because my sister had him for her wedding 8 years earlier. It wasn't just the wedding day that we appreciated his services, we met several times before the wedding to go over little things. Even some writing "homework," to kind of gauge where my wife and I's relationship was at the time (surprisingly very in sync with future decisions and possible concerns). It just really was the whole package and then some. We got more than any service could pay for, not to mention the innovative guitar playing and singing that livened up the ceremony. I could go on and on, it was such a memorable and great experience. A day my wife and I will never forget, and apart of that is because of Rabbi Jonathan Klein. Thank you!

We were less than 8 weeks from our wedding date, without a venue, with more than 150 Save the Dates sent out, and uncertain if we would even be able to have any kind of ceremony in the midst of a pandemic, let alone whether that ceremony would put our family and closest friends at risk. What Best Bride did for us in such a short amount of time was truly remarkable! While we had to significantly cut down our guest count Leora made sure that every possible Covid precaution was taken to keep our family and loved ones safe while still giving us a day more magical than we ever dreamed of. Leora was also so good at calming me down during the morning stress of the day and I can't thank her enough for that! I've since recommended Leora to my best friend who also was so grateful to have her plan her dream wedding. If you're not sure where to start or who to go with choose Leora because you will not regret it!

But of course, the pandemic hit and everything changed and nothing would be the same. Leora quickly took action, lifted our spirits and made sure that no matter what, we'd still be getting married on that date. There's no possible way to fully express my appreciation for Best Bride on our journey down the aisle. THANK YOU for putting us before anything else during those 2 weeks of planning our new wedding. You helped us completely transform my grandmother's home in Beverly Hills into the most magical wedding ceremony in a matter of 2 weeks. Even though our initial wedding dreams completely shifted, somehow this became even more meaningful for us. We were surrounded by our closest friends and family who witnessed our gorgeous Chuppah and our truly sentimental ceremony. Not only were we completely delighted by everything as is but our wedding even received tons of attention and recognition from several amazing media outlets and publications, including GRACE ORMANDE! Who could have ever dreamt of this?! Leora has an incredible team of planners, I felt so supported, so cared for. Every single one of the Best Bride staff are so professional and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff and most importantly care and do it with love, passion and patience. We hope to have a big celebration one day too when things feel a little more certain, and of course our only wish is for Leora from Best Bride and her team to help plan it for us. Thank you Leora for encouraging us to move forward in our lives and helping it be a beautiful start!

She'll even call you instead if she thinks it would be more efficient. 2) Preferred planner with our venue. She worked insanely well with our venue coordinator, which smoothed over so many details we didn't even need to be there for. 3) Mom energy. Jessica made sure my husband and I had everything we needed and more during the events - food, water, rest, shade, phones, you name it. She was super patient and respectful with accommodating our parents' requests, too. 4) Management capability. We had a big fat South Asian wedding consisting of 4 events over 2 days with a thousand moving parts. Jessica coordinated all the vendor contracts and on-site set up. She and her husband themselves were present for the duration of all events, which made all the difference. This is the person you want when something goes wrong. From having an emergency photographer on speed dial to adjusting the timeline on the spot, Jessica kept things in motion. She brought our visions to life, whether it was through decor mockups, adding sticker decals to our welcome mirror, or negotiating quotes and extra setup time & venue space. My most favorite memory is Jessica texting me photos and videos of the Baraat celebration, which the bride is not part of. Our family has made a connection with Jessica for life, even far beyond the wedding.

Since our venue did not provide any services, we hired all of our own vendors. 3LB was essential in ensuring everyone was coordinated and in place on the wedding day. Additionally, because we used their rental equipment, their staff ensured everything was set up exactly according to our instructions. I want to specifically highlight our wedding day coordinator, Jennifer. She was terrific and served as a calming influence throughout the day, ensuring everyone was where they needed to be. I cannot recommend Three Little Birds enough. To anyone considering their services: do yourself a favor and hire this team; you won't be disappointed.

Our experience started when I reached out to Jimmy around February 2026 about having our wedding…read morethat July. We knew it was a short timeline, but Jimmy was incredibly accommodating and immediately made us feel like they would be happy to work with us. At that point, the only thing we had selected was our venue. Other than that, we honestly had no idea where to begin, what needed to be done, or which vendors to choose. Just thinking about everything involved was overwhelming and stressful. After we officially began working with JK Wedding Events, Jimmy, the founder, introduced us to our wedding coordinator, April Lee. Because of the short timeline, my wife and I felt extremely rushed and were constantly thinking, "How are we going to get all of this done?" But Jimmy and April continually reassured us that everything would be okay--and they were right. What we appreciated most was that they never made us feel pressured or bossed around. Instead, they guided us with the heart of a teacher. They patiently walked alongside us, explained what needed to happen, and helped us make decisions throughout the entire process. That was exactly what we were looking for. They helped us navigate practically every major vendor decision, including photography and videography, hair and makeup, catering, flowers, draping, tableware rentals, our wedding cake, and even recommendations for wedding dresses and tuxedos. Honestly, if my wife and I had tried to research and coordinate all of those vendors by ourselves, it probably would have caused so many headaches and arguments that we might not have had a wedding at all! Of course, planning any wedding will come with some ups and downs, but JK Wedding Events minimized the stress as much as anyone possibly could. When our wedding day finally arrived in July 2026, everything was on point. All of the vendors understood the plan, everything was executed smoothly, and April did an amazing job keeping the day on schedule and making sure everything continued flowing without any issues. Jimmy also served as our MC and DJ during the reception, and he was fantastic! He kept our guests engaged, entertained, and laughing while maintaining a fun atmosphere throughout the night. His music selections kept everyone enjoying the vibe and made the celebration even more memorable. It has now been about a month since our wedding, and I am finally catching up and writing this review because JK Wedding Events absolutely deserves the recognition. Whether you need help planning your wedding from the very beginning, finding a venue, selecting vendors, or coordinating any other part of the process, I highly recommend reaching out to Jimmy and the JK Wedding Events team. They will take a tremendous amount of pressure off you during what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you again to Jimmy, April, and the entire JK Wedding Events team for helping make our wedding such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended--10 out of 10!

We knew we made the right call because whenever we would mention that Claudia was our coordinator, our vendors would light up and say how excited they were to work with her again. Planning process: Although we did most of the planning, she understood our vision and the culture we wanted to facilitate. She really helped us out by providing a few trusted vendor recommendations to help fill in the gaps. The support we felt from her in general was above and beyond. Whenever we would get off of a call or leave a meeting with Claudia, we would say to each other "she just gets it." She really had a special way of making us feel more confident and less anxious. Week and day of: I'm a hyper-organized person, but there is a special chaos that happens the week of your wedding that you can't really prepare for. Especially, when you are on a tight budget and trying to DIY as much as you can. Claudia was there to catch any holes, confirm with our vendors, and be a liaison with emails when our hands were too full. When it came to our wedding day, everything was executed beyond what we had envisioned. I will never forget arriving to the venue as they were finishing setting up. Our jaws dropped at how it all came together and what a well-oiled machine all of the vendors were together. Overall: Claudia's level of experience, her (really good) taste, directness, and calm energy is what makes her an all-star coordinator. Numerous family members and friends have emphasized how impressed they were with the "operations" of our wedding. That is all due to Claudia. Definitely hire her -- she is someone you'll end up wanting to be friends with after your event!

I was one of the first among my friends to get married, so everything was completely new to me. Looking back, meeting MJ truly felt like God's perfect timing. I didn't even realize how well-known and sought-after she was when we first connected. From our very first meeting all the way through the wedding day (and even after), MJ was such a reassuring presence in my life. She made me feel supported, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. Because of her, I experienced almost no stress while planning our wedding. She didn't just bring my vision to life--she gave me everything I dreamed of and more. What I appreciated most was how intentional she was about creating a wedding that felt authentically us. She took the time to understand who we were as a couple and brought that vision to life in a way that felt personal, meaningful, and beautiful. I'm also a very detail-oriented and particular person, so I had high expectations. Somehow, every detail exceeded them. Every decision, every recommendation, and every element of the wedding felt thoughtfully planned and executed. One of my favorite memories happened on our wedding day. I had told myself I wasn't going to cry, but after the ceremony, I remember telling MJ how happy I was and how perfect everything had been. She gave me a big smile and told me, "This is why I do what I do," and I honestly almost started crying right there. It was such a heartfelt moment and reminded me how much she truly cares about her couples. Seeing how invested she was in our happiness was incredibly touching. Our families, friends, and we ourselves were absolutely blown away by how everything turned out. What's funny is that a lot of my friends were actually worried about me throughout the planning process because I wasn't freaking out. They know how detail-oriented and particular I am, so they kept checking in and asking if I was stressed. The truth is, I didn't need to freak out! MJ had everything completely under control. She guided us through every step of the process, breaking things down into manageable tasks and making everything feel organized and easy. Every time someone asked if there was anything they could help with, I honestly didn't have much for them because MJ was already several steps ahead. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel seamless from beginning to end. Looking back, one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding journey was choosing MJ as our wedding planner. Not only is she incredibly talented, organized, professional, and creative, but she genuinely cares about her couples and pours her heart into every wedding she plans. Hiring MJ was hands down one of the best investments we made, and honestly, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We are beyond grateful for her and so proud to have had her as our planner. I cannot recommend MJ enough

He listened to what we wanted but also offered his experience . For example, during planning, we were dead set on having a "last hour" EDM set, with a curated mix with mashups, remixes, edits, etc., but James graciously communicated that it's difficult in a wedding environment, as it's more about keeping guests dancing and engaged than "performing", as a EDM DJ normally would at a show or club. This was something we really appreciated. He was an absolute ace during the wedding ceremony and reception. As MC, he kept our guests involved, made announcements with grace and charisma, and masterfuly navigated different guests' (drunk) personalities during a game. As DJ - he played our requests but also took positive creative liberties to keep people dancing, all of which we appreciated.

There's just too…read moremany moving parts to a wedding and we've seen others who were just too stressed out during their own wedding planning process who may have had emotional breakdowns. Therefore, just the thought of trying to plan a wedding was too overwhelming for us and we weren't insistent on it. This was especially so since we were planning for a wedding in Southern California while we live in Northern California. However, we needed a wedding celebration because it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing for our families. We opted for partial planning services with Grace, but it honestly felt more like a full planning service. Since our consultation to our wedding day, Grace was a tremendous help. Not only did she provide recommended vendors and reach out to each of them for quotes, but she communicated with them on behalf of us during the entire process and helped us negotiate prices to help us with our budget. When it came to contracts with our venue, she was wonderful at offering suggestions so that we could meet our F&B minimum without sacrificing guest experience. We also wanted to do a short tea ceremony the day of at the venue, and during the process, Grace helped us work with the venue to accommodate that. Grace also joined in on our calls with vendors which was a huge deal, since we weren't familiar with the venue or what was allowed/not allowed. Grace was also pregnant and had delivered a baby during our wedding planning process, but was still answering vendor emails for us and checking in on us that entire time! We also had a specific type of rehearsal/welcome dinner in mind and Grace went and booked the perfect place for us, even checking in to make sure we were aware of plans and where we were with our budget. Our venue was not so great at communicating, so there was an event the day before our wedding (especially annoying since our wedding party had to book flights earlier), but Grace was great at coordinating our family and wedding party to practice a last minute rehearsal the day of the wedding. We also wanted to get a little crafty for our individualized wedding favors which we decided to tape to the back of our menus, so Grace designed the menus with this favor in mind, and also taped each wedding favor to each guest's menu for us! This was a huge help since guest name tags were not finalized until so close to the wedding date and we were already busy with our work lives and other things. During the day-of, Grace made sure that we were on top of things especially with the timeline. She made sure that we were able to enjoy our food and drink enough water, and would be the "bad guy" for us when necessary. She also made sure our vendors were moving according to schedule and would be the go-to person for everything, otherwise we would have to be the ones constantly communicating to our DJ/MC or all the other vendors. Our wedding day worked out perfectly and Grace's designing (which we initially did not care about) was absolutely beautiful! Our guests kept giving us compliments about all the details and how organized and fun the day felt, and then we realized how important having a wedding planner was for such a big day for any couple. It was the best day of our lives and we are so glad that Grace was a huge part of why it happened! We are so glad she was a huge part of our new chapter!

Grace did partial planning for our wedding and she was the best partner-in-crime a bride and groom…read morecould ask for! She handled our day with such care. We could not have done this without her. We had a wedding planner before Grace that we had to part ways with in the middle of the planning process. This made me extremely anxious to put trust in someone else with such an important day in our lives. But from the first call with Grace, all of those anxieties disappeared! She is calm, she gets it done, and she was somehow always one step ahead of anything that popped into my mind at any given moment! Before the event, Grace kept us organized, gave us great recommendations for vendors, and grounded us. She coordinated with all of our vendors, including reading through every contract. She made sure our wedding day ran seamlessly. Grace prioritized exactly what was important to the bride and groom. Even making sure we ate our dinner! And when the caterer forgot to bring the vegan meals, she handled the situation quickly and without causing any stress to us or our guests. My family and friends were extremely complimentary of their interactions with Grace and were all very impressed with how the day ran. For the bride and groom, being able to enjoy each other and our day without worrying about the details on the day-of is so important. Grace did that and more!

I am writing this review on my husbands yelp account because I do not have an account myself! lol…read more I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Amber Events and their ENTIRE team!! I had the pleasure of working directly with Nira and Karly, while planning my fairytale wedding in Santorini, Greece. They planned the most beautiful destination wedding for us and I never doubted them for a second through the entire process. They handled absolutely everything for me, from helping me find my perfect wedding dress to surprising us with a kick ass Firework show on our very last day in Greece. They made it possible to truly enjoy the entire wedding planning process, so that I would not have to stress at all. Not only were they the easiest people to work with, but they absolutely NAILED everything I threw at them and SO much more! Their attention to detail, creativity, vision, organization and professionalism is definitely what I loved about them the most! They curated an entire weekend for my wedding party to the tee, from our magical rehearsal dinner on the edge of a cliff in Oia, Santorini. To sailing through the Mediterranean on the most epic catamaran, and obviously making our special day a day that we will never forget! The list goes on and on! All I can say, is that Justin and myself are so thankful to have met such amazing girls like Nira and Karly and will continue to recommend them as planners to everyone that we know!! Love you!!! xx J & T

All I had to do was describe my vision for our event and she did the rest. Constant updates on pieces she wanted to incorporate along with pricing. She worked so hard at getting us the best deal! She stayed within our budget but somehow managed to exceed my expectations. The day of the shower I felt like everything just fell into place and I completely trusted her timing and judgement. I know the time and effort it took her and will be forever grateful!
