Officiants

J.P. Reynolds creates personalized ceremonies that are warm and joyful—they welcome guests into the party, while reminding them that they're celebrating you and the life you've created together. Years after your wedding, everyone will remember the tone and feelings that J.P. beautifully conveys every time.

He is truly happy to see that the time has come for everyone to have the opportunity to experience the same joy. He believes that when two people truly find themselves in each other, there really is no law that should come between them. His ceremonies are deeply personalized to each couple and what makes them special.

Rabbi Eleanor Steinman is a natural leader with a passion for social justice and human rights equality. Rabbi Steinman has pursued a professional life focused on improving the world, one person at a time. Upon her ordination, she served at Temple Sinai Congregation of Toronto as assistant rabbi. After three years, she returned to California. She currently serves as the Executive Director of California Faith for Equality, an interfaith organization that educates, organizes and supports California’s faith communities to promote equality for the LGBT community and to safeguard religious freedoms.

Rabbi Ian Adler is eccentric and not shy about his politically incorrect English sense of humor. Rabbi Adler sees marriage and the committed bonds of love, faith, wisdom and integrity in dual partnerships—along with the benefits and challenges that come with it—as being an integral part of our evolution and something that we should all have the right and freedom to choose. The celebration of each couple’s special bond is uniquely, distinctively, humorously and beautifully touched upon in each ceremony he officiates.
