Robbie Groover pastor at Andrew and Alyssa’s wedding

What a great pastor to have at the wedding! He was real, honest, professional, funny and spoke the Word in a beautiful way. Everyone enjoyed the wedding. His thoughts about woman from man’s rib-side by side really resonated with us. So glad Robbie Groover and his wife came to officiate at the wedding.The people I have spoken to who were at the wedding agree that it was a blessing to have them with us today.

Best Officiant in TN!

We loved Pastor Robbie! Not only did he take the time to get to know us before the wedding, he even worked some of our story into his ceremony. He was so kind and listened to us on how we'd like to stick with a non-denominational ceremony. Pastor Robbie chose the most beautiful passage to read as well. He was so so great!

Quaint Simple Wedding

We just wanted a simple ceremony with the two of us. We choose a venue… by the River. We love nature and wild life… ducks and geese were among us :) Rev. Groover’s choice of scripture and vows were perfect for defining our beliefs and commitment to each other.

Great Man. Great Service.

He’s amazingly patient. Very kind and is willing to talk about anything you wish. I didn’t feel rushed nor did I feel like just another customer. He’s just really good at what he does and we both were extremely pleased with his service. Recommended!!

Amazing Pastor

Pastor Robbie was the absolute best. Not only did he save us two weeks before our wedding when our previous pastor backed out. But he also gave us a memorable service that our guest still talk about! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Experience

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pastor Robbie! My husband and I got to know Pastor Robbie well during our premarital counseling sessions that we wanted to have, and he opened our eyes to many things in both our relationship with each other and with God. It is something we will always talk about as this has helped us grow as a couple. Our ceremony was absolutely amazing. Pastor Robbie spoke about all the things that both my husband and I would have wanted him to. It was wonderful and something our family still speaks about as well. Thank you for everything Pastor Robbie! We would recommend you 100 times over!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
