  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? We both felt comfortable right from the beginning with Robin. We were out of state, but Robin worked with us with phone calls and emails to arrive at a meaningful ceremony.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? The unexpected was that it really was a wonderful experience. It was more moving for us and for the guests than we expected. We got a lot of positive feedback after the ceremony.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? Robin gave us a couple of resources that really guided us in writing our vows. This helped us put together a nice framework for the ceremony. She refined it and gave us some helpful pointers. At the end, we had something that really spoke to us.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? The feedback we got from other married couples telling us how much the ceremony meant to them. It wasn't just a show for the guests, it really was a moving experience for them.

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Robin is wonderful! She is friendly, open, and welcoming during the initial planning stages and really makes an effort to learn about you as a couple. From there, she is committed to making the ceremony a beautiful and personal experience. She has a great number of resources to help in planning but also leaves room for your own personal ideas. On the day of, Robin spoke clearly and eloquently and put the both of us at ease as the ceremony unfolded. It was a great day!
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We chose readings that were hopefully a little unique and had a personal feeling to us. We also had a rather large wedding party: 10 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen. The area around the altar became crowded quickly.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Everyone was just very happy to be a part of the day. All of the guests were very complimentary towards Robin and the order/procession of our ceremony.

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Robin made both feel completely comforable and relaxed. Her calm demeanor and professionalism helped make our day enjoyable and perfect. In meetings and discussions with her prior to our wedding, we both felt comforable sharing our personal stories about our relationship which Robin used to customize our ceremony.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? Robin helped us step back and really experience our vows and the ceremony. Through years of experience, she's clearly learned techniques to help couples stay present in the moment and really enjoy the ceremony. When it unexpectedly rained causing a change in ceremony locations, Robin was instrumental in organizing and coordinating plan B.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We went through a book of ceremonies that Robin gave us and with Robin's expertise, we pieced parts from different ceremonies together to create a ceremony unique and personalized to us. At the end, our friends and family pronounced us husband and wife.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? One guest told us if she could redo her wedding, she would steal our vows.

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Robin made us feel completely comfortable during the entire process and the day of the ceremony. She was always available if we had any questions or needed feedback on anything. Robin wasn't overly intrusive and was more than willing to accommodate whatever we wanted for our ceremony. She was willing to help us think outside of the box for our ceremony.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We used the box of wine and love letters to each other to personalize the ceremony.

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? First and foremost, Robin has the most wonderful, comforting smile. Throughout the ceremony, it was like having a loving family member walking us through the experience. She guided us in how to feel comfortable during the ceremony, and everything she did throughout it helped us feel that way. Robin made a great effort to get to know us, to address us personally throughout our time with her. She also embraced and was enthusiastic about unusual requests -- welcoming our proposals.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? She was available to talk any time, and offered us as many visits as we wanted to meet with her in person. Robin was so excited to do unusual things (include atypical music, perform a complicated interfaith ceremony)... we couldn't have asked for anyone better!
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We included a musical interlude: a Shostakovich quartet. It's an intense and tumultuous piece of music, not your typical wedding experience. Our interfaith ceremony had both a Rabbi and Robin as clergy. We included Hebrew and English texts, and yet also eliminated any contentious religious or social references that appeared in either service. Robin guided us through crafting the ceremony, and also made great efforts to coordinate with the rabbi.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? The ceremony was remarkable -- moving and profound, yet accessible to everyone.

  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We wrote letters to each other that focused on aspects of our relationship and personalities that we love and cherish, then incorporated these ideas into the ceremony.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? That the ceremony was just so "us." Our personalities were so evident in the way the ceremony turned out.

  • Wedding officiant make you comfortable? Why or why not? Rev. Robin was absolutely awesome, from the beginning she let us know the ceremony was ours to build. She sent all kinds of different choices and examples of ceremonies, and allowed us to build our own ceremony which she put the finishing touches on. Our ceremony was absolutley our own. Everyone at our wedding commented about her enthusiasm during the ceremony...we could not have been happier. We also had Rev. Robin do our pre-marital counseling. I'm glad we made that choice. We were able to get to know her better and she was able to get to know us better. More importantly, Jill and I learned a lot about each other and had a ton of fun doing it.
  • What did the officiant or clergy add that was unexpected? That is the beauty about Rev. Robin, there is nothing unexpected.
  • How did you personalize your wedding ceremony? We chose all of the ceremony including our readings and prayers. We also did use traditional music for the precessional and recessional.
  • Favorite wedding ceremony comment from guests? Everyone loved Rev. Robin's enthusiasm and positive aura she exudes.
