About this vendor

Your Wedding Day is just that: YOUR DAY! This unique, one-of-a-kind moment must be just what you've always wanted it to be and only what you've always imagined it to be! Family and friends are of utmost importance, but the day belongs to the Bride and Groom. My role as an officiant is to help you realize your dream by crafting a ceremony that reflects your style, personalities, and the special nature of your relationship.

It's also the officiant's responsibility to focus the attention on the two people that matter most, the couple in front of me. I call the officiant the most invisible of visible roles on the wedding day. While I take seriously my job of guiding my couples through the marriage process and the importance of presiding at the ceremony in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable, confident, and joyful--at the same time, when all is done, the couple should be remembered forever, and the officiant should be soon forgotten. Wedding Days are always about the two people pledging their love and devotion to one another--not about the officiant--no matter how good that person might be at their job!

Being selected as a couple's officiant is always humbling for me. After 35 years of solemnizing hundreds of marriages, presiding at every type of ceremony, experiencing every possible thing that can go wonderfully right and disastrously wrong, and getting exclusively 5-star reviews by every kind of couple, I think I make a pretty good officiant. Still, I don't take any couple's choice for granted. I must earn your trust, demonstrate my skill, and deliver your desires and demands--and that's what I will seek to do from the time you choose my services to the filing of your legal paperwork following your ceremony.

You can be assured that I am passionate about my work as an officiant. I LOVE doing weddings. I LOVE serving my couples. I LOVE watching every unique couple exchange vows, pledge their devotion to each other, and celebrate bonding their hearts, minds, and souls in a way that will only ever happen once in their lives together. And I'd LOVE to be your officiant!

If given the chance to help you as your officiant, I promise I will not disappoint you!

Simple rose garden ceremony

Rev. Rob Schenck was such a blessing to my wife and myself. We both come from different religious backgrounds and due restrictions our own clergy were not willing to perform a ceremony for us. It was very hard for us to find someone who would know the unique specifics for a Messianic Jewish wedding and be willing to perform a marriage for a messianic Jew and a Hindu. Both my wife and I were very surprised when we came upon Rev. Schenck. We were both pleased to find someone who grew up with a Jewish background but now has a Christian faith which perfectly helped us design a messianic ceremony. From our first contact Rev. Schenck was very personable and helped us design a ceremony that we both wanted. He was very knowledgeable, kind, friendly and very prompt in guiding us through the process of outlining our ceremony. On the day of the ceremony, he arrived early and helped us set up. During the ceremony he didn't just follow a script but brought in a wonderful sense of humor that made myself and my wife, feel like he had been a part of our life and knew us instead of someone who we first meet online a few weeks before our wedding. Both my wife and I couldn't recommend anyone better than Rev. Rob Schenck. He is an amazing and great officiant. For anyone looking for an officiant who will get to know you and help craft a ceremony that is special and unique to you and your fiancée I couldn't recommend a better fit.

A perfect choice for your perfect day!

We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant for our elopement than Robert. He was incredibly Accommodating, and brought such a warm friendly presence that made him feel like family. His upbeat welcoming attitude and professionalism stood out. Robert was prompt and communicative keeping us updated on every step of the way including our marriage documents. He was very organized, which is a plus for brides to have one less thing to think about! He is well known, and highly spoken of with the D.C courts. This is a true testament of his character and work ethic. We’re so grateful for everything he did to make our day special and would highly recommend him in a heartbeat!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We could not have asked for a better officiant for our wedding! From our very first conversation, Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony meaningful and personal. He took the time to get to know our story, our values, and what mattered most to us, and they crafted a ceremony that felt truly us — heartfelt, joyful, and unforgettable.

On the day of the wedding, Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck brought such a calm and positive energy that helped ease our nerves and set the perfect tone for the celebration. So many of our guests told us afterward how beautiful and personal the ceremony was — and we couldn’t agree more.

If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your wedding ceremony special, we wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Dr. Robert L. Schenck. We’re so grateful to have had him as part of our day!

Incredible Officiant!

Rev Rob is a delight to work with! From start to finish, we knew we wanted an officiant who brought the warmth, the fun, and depth to our ceremony. Our wedding was a bit unconventional in theme being Renaissance, and Rev Rob not only worked with us in earnest, but made several efforts to participate and celebrate with us. He truly helped make our day that much more special and took a lot of stress from the legal questions we had. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant!

Best man for the job!

Rev Rob was the best man for the job. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect officiant for our elopement. He was so genuine and kind and has a really great voice for the job. Communication was prompt and easy. Any questions we had, he answered in a very timely manner. All of the paperwork was filed immediately with a thorough proof of submission so that we didn’t even have to stress or worry about it. He made everything in that department so stress free! 

 Thank you for your help on our special day!

Go with Rev Rob for a seamless and perfect ceremony!

Rev Rob did an amazing job on our ceremony! From the first time we met with him on the video call we could tell he was professional and really cared about what we needed for our ceremony. Both of our entire families loved the ceremony and agree that Rev Rob gave us a beautiful wedding ceremony!

Perfect in every way--made for such a memorable wedding ceremony!

Thank you so much for all your help in making our day perfect! Pastor Robin was a delight and made the ceremony so fun even in the heat!

Your prep style is so comforting. Getting to know us and walking through what the ceremony would go like before we even got to the rehearsal was perfect. We knew when you described how you worked that it was the right fit. We can't thank you enough in how you helped us find someone to officiate the day-of. Your commitment also solidified for us that we made the right choice!

Thank you again; you helped us start our day and our first official days as husband and wife in the best possible way!

Small Christian Wedding Ceremony

My spouse and I come from a mixed faith background - one Catholic and one Hindu, and we wanted to have a small Christian ceremony in part to honor that family. We reached out to Reverend Rob fairly late in the game and he was a joy to work with. He had a number of templates to work from and was very accommodating with two changes we added. He made the process very easy and helped everything go off without a hitch. You won't go wrong choosing to work with him!

Great Officiant Taking the Stress Off Our Plate

Rev. Rob is such a kind and stress-relieving person. I was frantic sending out inquiries for our wedding a couple of months before the big day, and his first message to me sealed the deal. He was warm, inviting, and confident from his response to my inquiry message, to the Google Meets meeting, to the day of our wedding. We put our trust in him, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience to share our union with!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
