    Wonderful vendor

    We had various zoom calls where we decided he was the best person to do our wedding. He has years of experience both as weddings and therapy with couples. He was attentive, organized, and so easy to work with. It was a pleasure to work with Dr. Henderson. He listened to what type of ceremony we wanted and included various family members in the ceremony to make it extremely special.

    Wonderful to work with

    My husband and I felt a connection with Robert the first time that we met over Zoom! He was easy to talk to and so helpful in allowing us to create our perfect wedding ceremony. We changed our minds many times about what we wanted included, and he always kept notes of what changes we wanted. He was also flexible in meeting with us around our work schedules, and arrived early to both our rehearsal and wedding day ceremony. We would highly recommend working with Robert!

    Absolutely amazing!

    My husband and I got married on October 3, 2021. The venue where we got married provided us with a justice of the peace. However, once we began communicating with Dr. Henderson we knew we wanted him to officiate our day. Dr. Henderson was simply AMAZING through everything. In our first meeting with him, he took the time to get to know us and listened to our love story. He let us know what the day would potentially be like and everything that would be included in the ceremony. He was so professional! He communicated with us up until the actual day. He was very caring and thoughtful. He went above and beyond to make sure that our ceremony was what we wanted. Even our families were impressed.
    He truly made our day special!!!

    A pleasure to work with!

    Working with Rev. Dr. Henderson was a pleasure. He is friendly, understanding, flexible, and thoughtful. As so many couples did, we found ourselves replanning our wedding in the wake of COVID-19, and Robert was with us all the way - happy to work with us as we changed the venue, the ceremony content, and enacted social distancing (both with the wedding format, and also broadcasting the ceremony on Zoom). Throughout the process, he was attentive to our desires regarding ceremony content while also giving us ample material and ideas to draw from and build on. In the end, he helped us create a very meaningful wedding that reflected our values and perspectives perfectly. Thank you, Robert!

    Sincerely,

    Barrett and Katie Sparkman

    Bob was excellent!

    We couldn't be happier with Rev. Bob. He is a wonderful and kind man and he made the whole wedding experience smooth and memorable. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding officiant.

    Exceeded Our Expectations

    The officiant of a wedding plays the most crucial role! This is the person that influences how the wedding day starts and is in control of the entire wedding ceremony. I personally think the ceremony is the most important part of the wedding since it is your family witnessing both partners becoming one! We currently live in California and we were having our wedding in Stonington, CT. Planning a wedding was extremely tough due to the distance / time difference and I was initially weary of choosing an officiant. Having someone my husband and I both connected with was extremely important.

    Choosing Robert Henderson as our officiant was the best decision we made! He cares so much about making the perfect custom ceremony for each couple. We didn’t even know how a ceremony started or ended, and we honestly did not know how to begin. Rob had so many options and readings that we could quickly tailor to our personality. We met with him and quickly hit it off! He wanted to get to know us as individuals, as a couple, and wanted to make sure he was aware of all family dynamics. My husband and I had a couple of unique cases and Rob made awesome suggestions in the ceremony to make sure we recognized and involved everyone we wanted to in our families! Our ceremony was so beautiful and we are extremely grateful to Rev. Henderson. He exceeded our expectations and we just love that he was a part of our big day!

    Bob was absolutely wonderful! Extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. He was able to work my husband and I on the perfect ceremony. If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding, hire Bob!

    He's the best!

    Father Bob was such a joy to work with! From our first FaceTime call with him he was so nice and easy to converse with and we immediately knew we wanted him to be our officiant. He brought tons of ideas to the table for our ceremony and was very patient with us as we modified it off and on over several months. Just as on FaceTime we loved meeting him for rehearsal (we tweaked a few things that night too and he was so flexible with the changes), and we had the most beautiful ceremony with him! No need to look any further for a wedding officiant - Rev. Bob will easily help you make your wedding perfect!

    Wonderful experience

    When it came to hiring an officiant, it was important to my now-husband and I to find someone who would make our wedding feel personalized and meaningful. Bob was warm and kind, and he had great suggestions for our ceremony.

    Highly Recommend Robert Henderson

    Planning our out-of-state wedding was tough when it came to selecting vendors - we couldn't meet vendors in person and had to interview them over the phone or FaceTime. Finding a wedding officiant was particularly tough. We didn't want just any officiant, we wanted someone we clicked with. After talking with 4 or 5 different candidates, we didn't think we would find the "right" officiant. That is until our DJ (DJ Sam from Atmosphere Productions) recommended we reach out to Robert Henderson. We setup a FaceTime call with him and within about 30 seconds, we knew we found our officiant. Robert's outgoing personality, sense of humor, and easygoingness made us feel comfortable and confident. He politely offered suggestions and helped make our ceremony a special one. A few months before the wedding, we made a trip to Connecticut for a holiday and Robert asked us to stop by his office to meet. He was just as we expected - he couldn't have been nicer. As the day approached, Robert checked in with us to make sure everything was just right. He attended our rehearsal and did a wonderful job with the ceremony. Afterward, we had several family members and friends remark how great our ceremony was. I'm so glad we chose Bob for our officiant and I would highly recommend him to other couples looking for one.

    Bob is the best!

    We recently had the pleasure of having Bob officiate our wedding in October 2018. Bob is awesome to work with. He is very kind, professional, and trustworthy. From the first meeting we had, we knew that Bob would be perfect for our wedding. He told us that he could tailor our ceremony to be EXACTLY how we wanted it. We worked through a couple drafts of the script until we came to the final version. At our ceremony, he did not deviate at all from the script that we had agreed upon. He was extremely responsive to emails and was willing to set up as many in-person meetings as necessary. He also provided many options for readings that we were able to choose from. I would highly recommend Bob as an officiant - you will not be disappointed!

    We initially contacted Bob because he happened to officiate my sister in laws wedding back in 2011. From the first time meeting we knew Bob was incredible, he gave us direction, ideas and potential readings we could include and worked with us to create an incredible ceremony with readings by our maid of honor, best man, and two very close friends, not to mention working with my husband to add a special surprise. Bob made our ceremony so very special for us and we could not say enough wonderful things about him.

    After our first meeting, my now husband and I walked out of Rob’s office with a smile and an immediate reaction of, this is him! This is who I want to marry us! There was a sense of comfort, relief, and just a overwhelming amount of a connection as if we have always been around one another. Our chosen ceremony, one of many offered, was exactly what we were looking for! Being in constant contact kept that connection going and meant even more when speaking these words. We are very grateful and will forever keep in touch with Rev. Dr. Henderson!

    Bob did a phenomenal job officiating our ceremony. We had an outdoor ceremony at our venue, and my husband and I were very particular about what we did and did not want said or included and Bob was so easy going and accommodating. He gave us a layout of a typical ceremony with many suggestions for readings and little personal touches we could pick from so we easily crafted our own personalized experience that we were both comfortable with. He was very helpful with guidance on things we weren't sure about, and was very personable and warm. He also was very patient with us as we worked and went back and forth on some details. On his suggestion we did a wine bottle ceremony during the wedding and everyone loved it! I would highly recommend him for your wedding!

    When my (now) husband and I first spoke with Rob we knew he would be a great fit. He was always so friendly and professional. Even though we had just met him, it felt as though we had know him forever. He was always very responsive and I could not imagine anyone better for our wedding.

    I am so glad we chose Rob to be our officiant for our wedding. He is so personable and comfortable to be around. When we first met with Rob we had an idea for the kind of ceremony we wanted and Rob was able to go into detail as to how it would work out. And he offered other ceremony ideas. He even emailed us a rough draft copy of the ceremony the next day. He made everything so easy for us and was so accommodating of what we wanted. We got married outside and our venue did not offer a rehearsal so Rob invited us to have a rehearsal outside at his church. We actually made a change to the processional the day of the wedding and Rob was perfectly ok with it, he wanted us to have the ceremony we wanted.

    I can not thank Rob enough for marrying us!

    We found Reverend Henderson online and we are so glad that we did! He met and communicated with us as much as we needed. We wanted a ceremony that had some religious elements and he incorporated the perfect balance. He also had some great ideas to personalize our ceremony and we were thrilled with the result! He was extremely helpful during the rehearsal and the morning of the ceremony. We would absolutely recommend him!

    The first time we met Rev. Dr. Henderson we felt a deep peace, comfort, and trust. Coordinating our first meeting was a pleasure because of his responsiveness, respectfulness, and comprehensiveness.

    He is a humble man. You can see and feel his heart and desire for excellence in everything he does.

    He created a beautiful service that captured the unique essence of our love. His creative ideas celebrate our love now and in the future.

    During the service he made everyone present feel comfortable and valued. He is
    such a loving man who believes in love and just wants to support it and honor it and its importance in people's lives.

    We highly recommend Rev. Dr. Henderson!!

    Thanks to Bob, we had the most lovely ceremony! From our first email, to our hikes through the park, to our wedding-day vows, he was always professional, attentive, and kind. After just one meeting, it felt like he was already part of the family. Bob helped make our day stress-free and one to remember, thank you!!

    Robert was the best officiant we could ask for! From the moment we met (via skype) to the actual wedding day, he was responsive to any emails and very helpful with his suggestions. Bob is a warm, good humored person, and we felt so lucky to have him officiate our wedding. He was able to plan the perfect ceremony for us, with cute touches that reflected our personalities as a couple. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personal, sweet ceremony. Thank you Bob!

    Loved Rev Henderson! Perfect ceremony and he's a sweetheart! I felt completely comfortable using him as our officiant. He took time to get to know both my husband and I. He was on the ball 150% of the time. Reverend Henderson is professional, GENUINE, and it was an absolute pleasure to work with him.
    I couldn't recommend him more.

    Reverend Bob stepped up for Andrew and I and he was the perfect fit for our wedding day this fall. He was very accommodating to our crazy schedules and flexible with our ceremony preferences. He was also extremely responsive to all questions at all times. If you are looking for an officiate Reverend Bob is worth reaching out to!!

    We could not have imagined a better officiant. He was so helpful and responsive and even incorporated a last minute change without any hesitation. He provided us with great ideas for the ceremony, but let us personalize everything. After the ceremony, numerous guests commented about how wonderful the officiant was and how wonderful the ceremony went. I would recommend using Dr. Rev. Henderson without any reservations.
