    Robbin is the best!

    All I can say is: WOW. Robbin truly did such a wonderful job officiating our ceremony. So many of our guests told my now husband and I how much they loved our officiant, they loved everything he said, they thought the “service” was beautifully worded and so special. Multiple people asked how long I have known him, they all thought Robbin knew my husband and I for years he just captured us so well in the ceremony. We had only met/spoke with Robbin 2 times to go over the ceremony. He also came to rehearsal and that was super great since we needed the guidance of how everything was going to go. I highly recommend Robbin if you need an officiant.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Rachel and Elliott!! What a wonderful day it was! Thank you so much for your kind remarks. Those kinds of comments from your guests lets me know that I am doing my job. As much as I would love to really spend time with a couple, life is so busy and gathering as much information as quickly as possible is a must. Another must is just rolling with the punches!! LOL... your Dad was so nervous and when he almost fell getting across your dress/train, I just had to ad lib a comment! HA Thank you, again, for the honor of serving as your officiant. I wish you two many many happy years together. If you are on Facebook be sure to follow my "The Rite Officiant" page.
    Warmest regards,
    Robbin

    Mr. Robbin is Excellent

    Mr. Robbin - YOU WERE AMAZING, and perfect for us, our beliefs, and style. Both of my sons commented on how "the Officiant matched you, mom in all your emotional and spiritual areas". Best testimonial I could ever ask for.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Pat and Ken!! Thank you so very much for your kind words. It was truly my pleasure to assist you with your ceremony. I love what I do and I really enjoyed working with you. Wishing you many happy years ahead,
    Warmly,
    Robbin

    Best officiant ever!

    I can’t speak highly enough of Robbin! He was great through the whole wedding planning process and made the whole process a breeze. Our guests keep telling us how great and personal the ceremony was, thanks to Robbin. My husband and I will definitely be recommending his services to all our friends getting married in the future!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Alysha!! Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments. It was such a pleasure assisting you both with the ceremony. I really appreciate your giving me the honor! Wishing you both much happiness through the years,

    Best officiant to work with!

    Robbin did a great job as our officiant! He was a preferred vendor with our venue and I see why! Robbin is friendly, professional, thorough, and his experience really showed through as we went through the process with him. He helped customize the ceremony in a way that felt like us, and included personal touches after getting to know us through a couple of Zoom calls. Thank you for making the ceremony feel so effortless and fun!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Kaitlyn!! Thank you so very much!!! I really enjoy assisting couples and helping guide them through the process. When you have been in the wedding business as long as I, you really learn a lot, both what works and what doesnt do so well!! Thank you for choosing me to be such an important part of your BIG DAY!!! Wishing you many happy years together,

    Amazing officiant!

    Robbin was amazing! The County Clerk's office messed up and put the wrong date of application on our marriage license. Robbin pointed this out to us and accommodated us immediately. We were able to have our wedding ceremony, albeit last minute! It was a crazy and wonderful moment, and we cannot have been more grateful with Robbin for supporting our last-minute request. Whether you plan to get married in a month, or in a year from now, Robbin is the officiant for you!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Mariana and Will!! Thank you so much for giving me the honor of serving as your officiant. I know it happened under a situation that was not your first choice, but I was so glad that we were able to be there for you! Wishing you both much happiness!!
    Warmest regards,
    Robbin

    Lovely personal elopement

    We had a very specific, very minimal ceremony in mind and Robbin was so kind and helpful in helping us achieve that vision! Our ceremony was beautiful, the handfasting he performed was thoughtful and tear inducing. We couldn’t be happier with his choices and are so glad we chose Robbin!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Eliyana,
    Thank you for choosing ME! What a lovely experience with you two and the children! Its always so touching when we involve a couples children in the ceremony. Tears for the right reason are a blessing on the day!! May you have many happy years together!!!

    Dream Winter Wedding!

    I can not say enough nice things about Robbin. My husband and I are so happy that we chose him to officiate our wedding. Robbin is enthusiastic, and well spoken. Through our few meeting Robbin was able to prepare an amazing ceremony that felt like he had known us for years. Every time I emailed Robbin with a question he was quick to respond. During both the rehearsal and ceremony itself Robbin made sure we knew what to do and what to expect. I'm so happy we had Robbin as a part of our most perfect day!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Allison!! Thank you, Thank you for your kind remarks! The results you had are the results that I hope all of my couples will have. My goal is to make it sound as if I have known you since the beginning of your relationship! Then my job is to tell your story and to celebrate the union of two people in love! Thank you for allowing me to be YOUR officiant!
    Heres to many many happy years!!

    Best Officiant Ever!

    Robbin was our officiant, and he was amazing! Our wedding was 10/22/22 and we couldn't have asked for a better person to perform our ceremony for us. From the moment we met him in the months leading up to our wedding we instantly had a connection with him and knew we made the right choice. His personality is one of a kind and he is very easy to get along with. If you are looking for an officiant to make your wedding ceremony a one to remember, choose Robbin!! You will not regret it! :)

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Stephanie! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your having taken time to do so. It was my pleasure to serve as your officiant! I do this because I enjoy officiating, meeting the couples and helping them celebrate their love. Thank you for the opportunity to do that for you. Wishing you many many happy years!!

    Book him now!

    Robbin recently officiated our wedding, and he did a marvelous job! He's easy to work with, has a great sense of humor, and makes you feel so at ease. We do not live in the same area in Michigan, so we were happy he was willing to meet virtually to discuss our ceremony. He has years of experience and knowledge and shared helpful hints and tips fo us to rely on our bridal party on the dos and don'ts since we chose not to have a rehearsal the day before. I would highly recommend him to any future couple.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jessica!! Thank you so very much for your terrific review and comments. With over 35 years in the wedding business, I have seen it all and I bring those experiences to the table. Officiating is something I do because I enjoy it. Getting to meet the couples, hear all about their relationship and then creating a ceremony for them that reflects that story is a joy!
    Wishing you both many happy years together,
    Warmly,

    Incredible ceremony, pleasure to work with

    Robbin spent time getting to know us as a couple and incorporated that into the ceremony. We had countless people come up to us at the reception to say how much they loved the ceremony and our officiant. Robbin is professional yet friendly. He will make your day incredibly special!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Hi Laura and Scott!!
    Thank you so much for your kind review! What a wonderful ceremony it was! Your vows and comments to each other were so amazing. It was a pleasure helping you create a ceremony that reflected your relationship... your story. Thank you for the honor! Wishing you many many happy years together!

    The perfect officiant for our perfect day!

    Robbin was fantastic! He worked with us on customizing our ceremony the way we wanted. He was very specific in his walkthrough when we would hold hands, hand off bouquet, provide rings, etc. It made the ceremony go smoothly and stress free. I would definitely recommend Robbin to anyone!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Lindsay!! Thank you so very much for the terrific review and comments. It is a joy to work with couples and helping them not only create a ceremony that is personal but also helping them with all the details of the actual movement and flow of the ceremony. No one ever wants to appear unprepared or aukward during their wedding ceremony. It is my job to not only say the words that unite the couple but to also facilite and guide them through the actual ceremony so that it is smooth, drama free and stress free.
    Wishing you many many love filled years together,
    Warmly,

    Amazing Officiant

    Robbin did an outstanding job officiating our wedding. He added personal touches to our ceremony, and modernized our vows while still keeping them timeless. Robbin has such a positive and upbeat energy about him. He is very warm and we felt so comfortable around him. I would recommend him to anyone getting married!

    Simply the BEST!

    We could not have made a better choice of officiant for our wedding. As I type this review and reflect on the beauty of our ceremony and Robbin's words, I tear up all over again. Robbin managed to capture our love story in a way that was honest, heart-warming, challenging and celebratory all at once. Robbin reminded us of how far we had come as a couple, the road of joy and love that lie before us, and the legacy our love promises to leave as the years go by. If Robbin can capture the beauty of a complicated love story such as ours, trust us, he will bring the same level of care, attention to detail and honor to your nuptials. Thank you Robbin for everything you did to make our wedding ceremony one to remember for our guests, and for us. You are simply the best!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Bridgett and James!!! What a wonderful day it was! and I was so honored to be a part of your celebration. Thank you for your very kind words. I love helping a couple create a ceremony that not only reflects their belief and customs but also their relationship. Yours was a wonderful story to tell! Wishing you much happiness through the years.

    The best officiant!

    We got married on July 25th in the middle of the pandemic and every step of the way Robbin was so easy to work with! He created our ceremony to fit our needs and was flexible with any changes we needed from COVID-19. We would recommend him to ANYONE for their wedding. He was so professional and easy to talk to. He made sure we were happy with everything along the way and guided us through the marriage license process. 10/10!! Use him as your officiant, you won’t regret it. :)

    Wonderful!

    Working with Robbin was delightful. We live several states away, and yet he made the process smooth and stress-free. We felt like he was a long-time friend. He was flexible with changes we wanted in our ceremony. He adapted to our ideas, and made our vision come to life.

    Wonderful Officiant

    Robbin was a fabulous officiant for our Halloween wedding. He was truly present for our wedding and the planning that went into the ceremony, patient and professional as we made revisions and got busy (haha), and took the initiative to keep up communication when our emails stopped going through without us knowing why. He also has a wonderful presentation voice, easy and pleasant to listen to. Thank you!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Dayna! Thank you so much for your kind words!!! Yes, what a fun experience and totally cool ceremony what with EVERYONE coming "steampunk"! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a special part of your amazing day!!! Wishing you much happiness!

    We couldn’t be happier with our choice to hire Robbin as our officiant, he is knowledgeable, charming, reliable, and has a wide array of ceremony options to fit any need and budget. He cooperated and shared insight for my butterfly release during the first kiss, made us and my guests laugh, and made the day so special and stress free. You will definitely not regret hiring Robbin to marry you,

    The best officiant!

    Robbin did an amazing job capturing our story and making the ceremony genuinely personable and meaningful, just as we imagined! He spent time before the ceremony getting to know us as a couple and included this detail in the ceremony which made it very special. We couldn't have picked a better officiant!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Hannah and Collin!!! Thank you so very much for such a kind review. It was a pleasure helping you craft a ceremony that reflects your relationship and your "story"!! I wish for you both a lifetime filled with happiness and love.

    Wedding ceremony

    Robbin was absolutely amazing. Our guests came up to us after the ceremony and told us how great he was and how much they enjoyed the ceremony. I would highly recommend him.

    We couldn't be happier!

    We couldn't be happier with our decision to use Robbin as our officiant! The pandemic unfortunately made us have to change our plans and we really couldn't finalize anything until the week before. Robbin was more than flexible, warm, and the ceremony he wrote for us exceeded every expectation we had. We weren't a couple that wanted to write custom vows, but the ceremony still felt personalized enough to truly capture our relationship. I had several of my guests comment on how wonderful the ceremony was and how approachable and kind he is. He's very organized and thorough during the planning process, which put us at ease knowing we didn't miss any details and he helped walk us through the entire process so we felt comfortable knowing what to expect. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!!

    Best decision we made!!!

    Choosing Robbin what is the best decision that we made! He was extremely professional and experienced in his work. He took the time to go through every detail, from wedding vows to even ceremony tips and insights. He was willing to pass on his wisdom and expertise to us and made sure our day was flawless. We had a small wedding, with no rehearsal yet with his guidance, it was beautiful and perfect in every way. He took control of the ceremony and made sure everyone was on the same page. He kept reminding us it was our day and we deserved to be happy, no matter what others thought. He also did our boutonnieres and floral arrangements for the cake. Both turned out absolutely beautiful!

    We are truly happy we decided to go with Robbin! We now know we did not hire just a professional and experienced officiant but we walked away with a friend that truly cared. If you were looking for an officiant there’s no reason to look any further, you found the right person to marry you!

    CHAD!!! Thank you so much for your very kind review!! I am so happy to have been a part of your special day!!! Yes, sometimes situations require more than just an officiant to say the words. You guys deserve every positive, supportive and loving gesture given. I was so touched that you asked me to be your officiant. Especially considering your situation. Wishing you MANY MANY years of happiness!!
    Warmest hugs,

    Absolutely perfect


    Robbin was absolutely the best part of our wedding! He worked with our family- it was a second marriage for both my husband and I and we had children. He made it so special for the children! He included them in something called a ribbon ceremony where our children were each represented by a color. They loved it! There was not a dry eye at the ceremony! The vows that Robbin created for my husband and I were personal and beautiful. I could not believe he could blend making our marriage ceremony about my husband and I and our family. This man truly has a gift and I would highly recommend him!

    Melissa and Patrick... thank YOU for allowing me to be a part of such a special occasion. It truly was pleasure getting to know you and your family. What a wonderful way to end the year during the holiday season! I trust you liked your holiday ornaments we worked into the flowers, too!! I wish you much happiness and love throughout the years. Warmest hugs, R
