    Robyn was a superstar and amazing officiant!

    We first spoke with Robyn on the phone and after hearing how interested she was in getting to know the couple and incorporating personality into the ceremony, we were very interested in her services! Having that personal touch was really important to us, so we wanted to meet her in-person. When we did, she was just as charming as we had hoped; she asked us lots of questions about our relationship, what we value and are looking for in our ceremony, etc. just to get a gauge of who we were and if we were the right match for each other. After deciding on Robyn, she sent us an incredibly thorough questionnaire to get to know us even more and learn about specific moments we wanted for our ceremony. The entire thing was so tailored to us as a couple, which was something that we didn't find in any of the other numerous potential officiants with whom we had spoken. She sent us a first draft of the ceremony to go over and make any changes and offered help in writing our vows. The entire time she was friendly, helpful, professional - basically everything one would want in a great officiant! The day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch and we had an absolutely beautiful, personal ceremony that was incredibly moving. Thank you so much, Robyn, for the amazing ceremony!

    Making the Most Magical Day

    My wife and I found Robyn's bio and immediately knew she was the perfect choice. We wanted a personal touch and an authentic feel to our wedding. We planned to be married in May but the pandemic forced us to change our plans. Robyn worked with us every step of the way to turn our day from a larger event into an intimate backyard wedding with a special script. She was extremely responsive and really cared about us and our story. She had us fill out a packet of how we met and what we love about each other which brought us even closer together prior to our special day. On the day of she used a mic and brought cards with our vows printed on them for us to hold and read. Robyn brought all the magic we knew she would and we have only good things to say!

    Thorough and thoughtful, we hope to work with her again!

    Unfortunately we had to cancel our wedding due to COVID-19, so we are basing this review on our experience with Robyn throughout the planning process. Robyn is an incredibly thoughtful officiant who digs deep to learn who you are as individuals and as a couple. We're positive the ceremony she had planned for us would have been completely custom and very special, both for us and our families and friends. She's stayed in touch throughout the pandemic, helping us navigate the uncharted waters with helpful information and well-meaning advice. We appreciate her so much and can't wait to work with her again for our vow renewal.

    A very special ceremony

    From the moment we met Robyn, we were confident she would make our ceremony special. She went great lengths to get to know us and understand our love. Everyone at our wedding had nothing but great things to say about our ceremony and the words from Robyn. Thank you again!

    Thoughtful and Responsive

    Robyn was so evidently caring and thoughtful about our ceremony. She heard my husband's and my initial ideas, and offered suggestions to around what else to incorporate and how they could be linked for a beautiful and cohesive wedding day. We wanted our wedding to blend multiple parts of our identities and religious perspectives, and Robyn was dedicated to helping us sort through and decide what we wanted to include to make the ceremony most like "us". We ultimately decided upon a Ketubah ceremony, and upon a wedding ceremony that would involve participation from multiple family members. Robyn worked diligently with us-- numerous skypes and ongoing email conversations, all executed with timely and responsive communication-- to refine and craft our ceremony, and we felt our wedding reflected who we are. Thank you Robyn, from the bottom of our hearts!

    Wonderful Wedding Ceremony

    Robyn created a beautiful ceremony. We wanted it to be touching for our families, but, we did not have many ideas. Robyn created the ceremony and it was perfect. We were very happy with it, and felt moved by it. Our families were also very impressed. Robyn is great to work with. She was responsive the entire time. We highly recommend her!

    Great to work with, charming and warm energy

    Robyn was a pleasure to work with, she kept us organized and at ease during the planning process, as well as during our ceremony. She has a very warm and charming energy to her, and she delivered a beautiful message of love for our non religious, intimate ceremony. Everything was how I envisioned, all thanks to her experience and grace. Thank you Robyn!

    Marriage at the Speed of Love

    We finally made our long planned marriage plans in December of 2018. And we wanted to be married by the end of the year. We reached out to Robyn and with less than a week to go in the year she was able to pull it together for us. We made our goal and were married on December 31st. Now, that is an easy date to remember as an anniversary! We couldn't be happier.

    Our Story Well Said

    Robyn Greene's bio on WeddingWire is on the mark. Having never met Robyn, we were pleased with her process of getting to know us through video conference, a thorough questionnaire, and as needed phone calls. She handled our sudden wedding date professionally and graciously. She was on time for every step in the creative process. She worked in a balanced way between providing feedback to us about our plans and embracing our unique wishes. She flowed with our spontaneity, creating a joyous atmosphere for our intimate ceremony. We were free to indulge ourselves in our affection for each other, confident that Robyn would keep our ceremony moving forward. She told our story with charm and humor. Big thanks, Robyn. Pamela and Glenda

    Beautiful ceremony

    Robyn was a joy to work with. She sent us a long detailed questionnaire for each of us to fill out then based our ceremony around that. She also sent us the exact script for us to review beforehand. It really felt like she knew us personally. She made great recommendations for things to include, like the Irish ring warming. She even snuck in some Metallica lyrics for my metal-head husband. It turned out absolutely beautiful.

    Robyn took the time to learn about us and to gather our feedback for the ceremony. Her guidance working with us to craft a ceremony that was personal and meaningful to us really helped make our day special. She was also very responsive and communicated well with us and the other vendors in the day leading up to the ceremony.

    Robyn is amazing. She is thoughtful, patient, thorough, and perfectly able to handle anything that happens. Robyn truly works to deliver a ceremony that is meaningful and deeply personal for you. It is a two way street, you must be willing to provide Robyn the raw material to work with, be she will craft a beautiful ceremony out of it. If we could recommend her higher we would.

    Robyn was wonderful. She wrote a beautiful ceremony and I think she really captured how much we love eachother and how much fun we have together. There was a nice nod to Dr. Seuss that tied it all together, my grandma loved it and everyone cried!

    Robyn was amazing with the time frame we gave her. We contacted her I think about 10 days before our elopement and she was totally in it from the beginning! Not that I suggest waiting that long before finding someone to perform your ceremony, but saying that Robyn worked with it and we had ourselves a lovely small ceremony.

    Robyn was able to get to know us quickly and chose a brilliant poem and thoughtful reading. They were a perfect fit for our personalities and history as a couple.

    All of our guests commented that our ceremony was "very unique and personal." She had a lovely balance of humor and emotion. With Robyn's guidance, the ceremony turned out better than we imagined it could be.

    Robyn succeeded to do exactly the wedding ceremony that we had imagined. She has been so reactive, involved and proactive all along the steps, always trying to look for the best way to fit our needs, always very flexible and making sure that everything will be perfect. Robyn is a very nice person, very generous and enthusiast. It was nice to feel that she was really deeply happy for us. I would recommend her for every wedding, thanks Robyn!!!

    Robyn helped our daughter and her husband to create a ceremony that was meaningful to them and honored both families. She brought lots of ideas to the table, but encouraged the couple to make the final choices so that the ceremony would be their own. With Robyn's gentle guidance, the ceremony was both beautiful and meaningful.
