When you meet some people they stand out among the crowd immediately. Jeff Saville is one of these men. He officiated my wedding May 6th of this year. He met with my fiancé and myself before the wedding and offered great tips to make the most of the wedding. He specifically postures himself for the best of every photo and he was smiling in nearly every photo he was intentionally or unintentionally caught in. I would highly recommend Jeff for your occasion. He is a top notch professional who clearly enjoys people and loves officiating weddings. Our guests even enjoyed visiting with him as he is living quite an interesting and successful life. He is very easy to talk to and he listens to detail with a keen ear. I wish him the best and encourage you to give him a call. read more

I'm certainly no expert on wedding officiants (this was the first/only time I've dealt with one), but I cannot imagine how any could be better than Jeff... We hired Jeff to officiate our wedding ON a hot air balloon. He was super helpful, patient, and accommodating throughout the entire process (bids, discussions/preparations, and the ceremony). Generally, just seems like a great guy, and we're so glad that we found him to officiate our wedding!!! read more

When my wife suggested Jeff as our officiant I was a little apprehensive at first. Mostly because he was a Total stranger. But after our first meeting and all of our encounters after it felt like we had known each other for years. Jeff put all of our worries and fears at ease. I couldn't have asked for a better wedding ceremony. I would recommend his services to anyone planning a wedding! read more

My Wife Mary and I were lucky to find Jeff in our search for a Wedding Officiant near the Temecula Wineries. From the moment we met with Jeff he was helpful and gracious as we navigated the coordination of our Wedding. Jeff posed questions and gave us time to consider aspects of not only our Wedding but our relationship too. Our first meeting with Jeff left us more confident and secure than when we arrived. The Wedding Day saw Jeff helping us muster our group and get everyone to their proper place. My (now) Wife and I are very grateful for his knowledge and manner and just all around upbeat way. The ceremony was beautiful and the passages that were offered brought everyone to a place of intimate and quiet reflection. Thank you Jeff, MARY and ANDY read more

Jeff is a very kind and experienced officiant and pre-marital counselor, and he genuinely wants to help you to have a successful relationship and marriage, as well as a beautiful wedding ceremony you feel comfortable with. We got married at the end of February 2018 after a little longer than a two month engagement. We met with three officiants (including Jeff), all of whom offered pre-marital counseling, which we wanted, and all of whom we liked. My husband was particularly interested in the Prepare/Enrich counseling Jeff offered, though, as it looked structured and thorough. Jeff made us feel quite comfortable in our three pre-marital counseling sessions, and invested much more time in the three sessions than he was "required" to, which we appreciated! We discussed and practiced helpful communication models with our own unique relationship matters, and discussed a number of matters based off of the extensive Prepare/Enrich questionnaire we had filled out separately, which Jeff reviewed before the first session. Jeff directed us in communicating with each other during the sessions, instead of just talking to him about matters. It was good. I was really relieved at how comfortable I felt in all the sessions, which I had felt very apprehensive about. I didn't feel judged or criticized. Jeff wants to prepare you to deal well with matters on your own in a loving way. Jeff was very accommodating and workable with fitting in all the premarital counseling sessions in the short time before our wedding. It was also easy to arrange a time for an initial online meeting with him to see if we would be a good fit for each other, and he didn't rush the meeting. Overall, he is not stingy with his time, and never makes you feel like he is watching the clock. I, particularly, was very concerned about being able to totally plan our wedding ceremony to be something we felt comfortable with or at least ok with. There are a few elements that Jeff requires in a ceremony but otherwise he is very flexible, and my husband and I spent much time on our own planning our ceremony. Jeff realized that we wanted to do this, and he was very helpful with templates, comments, reviewing, insights to make it more beautiful and flow better, but also letting us be in control of the ceremony, even though he may have done things differently. Otherwise, he would have done it all happily. I think during the actual ceremony itself, though, he went a bit off of the carefully worded script (understandable). We included a short part he guided us in about the three types of love, with unique examples from us of the ways we were attracted to each other and our shared values - this is interesting for the guests. Jeff made sure to come quite early to the wedding venue and then he arranged the guests differently than I was imagining when it was time for us to walk to the front and told us the best place to stand while we waited, and it made the entrance so much better and more special! In fact, it helped make it my most favorite moment, especially because he instructed the sound man to turn the music up when I came in - a great detail. Jeff is also very helpful with information about marriage documents, name change, and going over the ceremony before the wedding so the little physical details go smoothly, as well as keeping in touch about the ceremony drafts. Jeff led our beautiful, intimate ceremony really well and gave us good pre-marital counseling. Because of these sessions together we weren't being married by a stranger, but rather by someone who had spent much time with us in his own home. read more

There are only a few times in your life when nothing less than grace, wisdom and sincere conviction and focused dedication will do. As critical as having a caring and gentle physician at the birth of your first child....as important as the heartfelt empathetic bedside manner of a physician who must inform you of a terminal diagnosis...; all of the best traits of a spiritual guide, mentor, counselor and true friend are just a few of the traits you'd hope to have in a minister who will perform your marriage ceremony. All of those traits, along with caring, compassion and professionalism...calm focus in the moment...are the ways we describe Dr. Jeff Saville's performance of our wedding this weekend. Dr. Saville patiently helped us through each phase in the planning of our wedding, from selection of venue to each individual script choice. The phrase going the extra mile describes someone who does more than what is required...but that phrase drastically understates all that Dr. Saville did to make our day as special as possible. We cannot thank Dr. Jeff and Mrs. Rebecca Saville enough for all they did to make our day flawless!!!! Thank you so very much and God bless you both!!! Stephen and Alice Cole read more

Jeff did an outstanding job! From the moment I contacted him for the very first time until the day before the wedding Jeff provided an exceptional service that was a big part of my wedding. The very first things he did when we met for the first time was getting us to know each other, letting us select from a few versions of the ceremony script, and assuring us that the ceremony will be customized to meet our needs, desire, and culture. We also practiced the ceremony a couple of times. Between then and the wedding day, Jeff stayed in touch and worked with us on drafting the ceremony based on what we wanted. Jeff arrived to the wedding early enough to go over the ceremony with us one more time and with those guests who participated in it. The ceremony was not only official, but was fun and entertaining as well. Jeff's enthusiasm and positive attitude was unbeatable! read more

Jeff was amazing! He was very professional, knowledgable, and easy to work with from the beginning. He offered a personal visit with him at his home to discuss our views and to really get to know us. He was all we could have hoped for. We really appreciated his understanding of how important it was for us to have our ceremony centered on Christ. We had a beautiful ceremony and Jeff helped us relax, made it fun and entertaining while keeping it serious and on point. We highly recommend him to any of you looking for a great wedding Officiant. read more

I just Attended a Beautiful Wedding in Temecula. So Much was well Done Including the Ceremony/Message! Rev Jeff Saville of SoCal Christina Weddings was Professional & Spot on about the Types of Love needed in a Marriage! I loved how He explained the different types of Love - without it been lengthy or boring! He also did a great job reading to the guests How the couple met & Cute things the bride & groom especially liked about each other liked about each other & tied it All in to a Beautiful, godly message! ! God's Word was Heard in a concise & eloquent way! After I went up & told him how much I Enjoy His Message & Delivery of God's Word! Later in the evening, I heard Several Guests talk about the Beautiful Venue, Delicious Food AND The Excellent Ceremony that the Reverend/Pastor Delivered ! I couldn't Agree More! I've Been to A Lot of Weddings- This Definitely Was Marked Excellent & The Message delivered at the Ceremony was a big part of that! read more

Jeff Saville from SoCal Christian Weddings did an amazing job officiating our wedding. We were very impressed with his attention to detail. He sat down with us to review the entire ceremony and then spoke with us again on several occasions to ensure we had everything squared away for the ceremony. He also always responded to e-mail in a timely manner. During the ceremony, he made us feel comfortable and guided us the whole way through. We highly recommend him! read more

My husband and I can't say enough great things about Jeff! From the time we began working with him to the wedding day, he was incredibly helpful, honest, sincere, and so reliable!!! As we were planning a destination wedding, we flew to California to coordinate wedding details months before our wedding; because Jeff was aware of our upcoming travel at the time, he invited us to his home for one of our pre-marital counseling sessions with him. Only having previously FaceTimed with us a handful of times, it was such a kind gesture to open his home to us. We were so appreciative of all the time Jeff spent to get to know us and truly understand us as a couple. We're so glad we found him! We HIGHLY recommend going through pre-marital counseling with Jeff if you choose him to be your officiant! The first time we spoke to him, he made us feel at ease and confident he would fulfill all of our requests during the planning process and during the day-of! After having spoken to several other officiants in the area, we could tell Jeff was undoubtedly going to be the perfect fit for us. I could go on and on about the incredible customer service Jeff provides, but the neatest part about the entire process was that we truly connected with him beyond that of typical "vendor" relationships! When I say every bride & groom should hire Jeff, I mean it!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! read more

I really wanted to take my time with this review. Jeff married my husband and I recently in Temecula . we were very unsure only because we were surfing the Internet and had no idea what to look for ,,, but we came across Jeff on his socal.Christian website ,, there was something about his profile picture that caught our attention . Even then we were somewhat skeptical , our original plan was to have our pastor marry us in the middle of June ,but something had come up in the family that we had to move my wedding and plan our wedding in one week . I must say Jeff was part of Gods plan for us because Jeff was perfect and wonderful , he went up and beyond . He practically did everything , he guided us in every way even at the location he took most of our photos as well . He such a sweet man with a perfect dash of humor,, if you read this Jeff ,,, thank you tremendously you are top notch. read more

"Jeff, is definitely outstanding! He is not only a minister who will get you married, he is detailed oriented, sweet, compassionate and most importantly a true Christian. My now husband and I chose Jeff to do our wedding based on his faith, but we didn't know how much more we were getting with his services. Jeff is someone whom invests his time and tries to get to know you before the wedding. We had a destination wedding and since we could not meet in person for the first appointment, Jeff scheduled us for a phone interview. In the interview we talked about all the details of the ceremony, from the scriptures to be read, to the right way to hold hands to make sure pictures were awesome! Jeff kept in touch with us all the way and made himself available for questions and requests! He even accommodated us with some Spanish during the ceremony! He practiced and did very well with the Spanish part of the ceremony. When we arrived to California, Jeff met with us in person. He made us feel very comfortable and even offered some free marriage tips! He was funny and used humor along the way. We did a rehearsal of the ceremony and Jeff gave my husband and I tips and constructive criticism. The day of the ceremony he was there early as planned. He conducted the most beautiful ceremony ever ( I am lil biased, because it was my wedding ceremony... :-). All my family and friends commented on the ceremony on how beautiful it was! One friend told me " he captured every one's attention, and that does not happen often in weddings, it was not long... It was just perfect". Jeff has a gift and a way of blessing couples! My husband and I were blessed to do have him do our ceremony. We could have not been happier! I remember something Jeff said from the beginning " this is my ministry" and we were truly blessed! Thank you Jeff! God bless you and may continue to bless your ministry! And your beautiful family read more

For starters, my husband and i were married a few weeks ago and are in our mid 30s. We are not super young but have traditional values and felt that pre marital counseling could only enrich our already beautiful relationship. We used Rebecca and Jeff for pre marital counseling and as our wedding officiant. They were both very professional and thorough in their work. Rebecca met with us multiple times for pre marital counseling ( something that was very important to me even though we had lived together and been together for 3 years) . We felt very comfortable with her and were able to see our compatibility in a statistical format which was greatly appreciated on our end. Our incompatibilities were also highlighted statistically but were accompanied with personalized exercises to help us grow in these areas. Rebecca helped us further understand our individual backgrounds/upbringing and what role those characteristics play in our current relationship with one another and individually. As for Jeff, we had several conversations before our wedding day to where he was able to genuinely get to know each one of us and helped us tailor our ceremony so that it captured our personalities and highlighted our feelings toward one another. On your wedding day, you already have so many emotions running through your head you definitely want to have someone up there beside you that is confident in their work, takes the lead and as well poised. Jeff was all of these things and more! read more

Jeff was such a pleasure to work with. We were struggling to find an officiant that wasn't A) booked for our wedding day (or trying to fit 2 weddings into one day) or B) out of our price range. We were planning our wedding from Chicago (where we are stationed) so meeting in person was not an option during the planning process. We found Jeff online and he was incredibly prompt in his communications with us. Throughout the planning process we were able to exchange emails and phone calls to get acquainted and plan out our wedding ceremony. He really took the time to get to know us as best as he could through phone calls. The first time we met Jeff was two days before our wedding at his home in Temecula, where we rehearsed the ceremony. He was even kind enough to offer us a mini pre-marital counseling session. The ceremony was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! He really caters to exactly what your vision is and makes sure that he carries that out exactly on the day of your wedding. Thank you so much Jeff for being a part of the most important day of our lives! read more
