    Excellent!

    My husband and I hired Robbin from The Rite Officiant to officiate our wedding ceremony. We were very pleased. We are a mature couple and this was the second marriage for each of us. Robbin tailored the ceremony to reflect our personal situation. Communication with Robbin was excellent from start to finish. The pricing was very reasonable for the service provided. If you need a wedding officiant, hire The Rite Officiant. You will be very happy you did I!!!!

    Heartfelt & Personal

    The ceremony Robbin created was so perfect for us! He told our story in such a meaningful way that had us and our guests smiling, laughing and fighting to hold back the tears. We cannot say enough about how kind and caring Robbin was in making our day special. It was truly magical and we are forever grateful.

    There is no other officiant better than this guy!

    Robbin was absolutely wonderful to work with! c: He was very easygoing to talk with and he has excellent communication skills and is great at public speaking and managing a crowd. The ceremony he hosted for us was beautifully written and personalized which made it feel more sentimental. He had lots of great advice and guidance throughout our time working with him and was nothing but wonderful! Would highly recommend!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Thomas!! Thank you sooo very much for the glowing review. You know I enjoy what I do! And it was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day! Wishing you and Alexandria much happiness and love through the years!

    The best officiant out there!

    Robbin was the most perfect fit for our wedding! He added so much character to our ceremony while making it feel personal to us. Robbin was timely, professional, and very kind and humorous. Whether you have a religious or non religious ceremony, he will accommodate to it all. We recommend Robbin to everyone!

    Personable and easy to work with!

    Robbin created a beautiful ceremony for us and made it so easy to customize what we wanted for our day. He also made it really personal to us as a couple and allowed us to show our true love for each other beyond a generic script. He was great to work with, has a great sense of humor, and was clear about how to acquire our marriage license and the process after that. Highly recommend!

    incredible officiant

    Robbin is an incredible officiant for our wedding! He was so fun to work with—good energy and positive attitude made the whole process enjoyable. We truly appreciated his thoughtful suggestions and how quickly he responded to all our questions. He helped make our day feel personal, meaningful, and stress-free. We’re so grateful!

    Wedding Ceremony Review for Robbin Yelverton, Officiant

    Laura and I are forever Thankful to Robbin for the wonderful Wedding Ceremony he performed for us at the Book Tower in Detroit. He is a great speaker, and added in some humor to that helped keep the spirit of the ceremony very positive and engaging. We had a large number of guests comment to us how much they enjoyed the wedding Ceremony and what a great job Robbin did as our officiant.

    Robbin also made an excellent suggestion that we add a Hand Fasting segment to the ceremony, where it enabled us to involve all 4 of our sons. It was a meaningful part of the ceremony. Thank you Robbin for giving us such a memorable, classy, and special Wedding ceremony as our officiant.

    Dan and Laura

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Laura and Dan!! It was truly an honor to serve as your officiant for such a wonderful celebration. I really appreciate your taking time to leave these wonderful comments. It is so special to be a part of a new beginning and a joyous event. Thank you for allowing me to be there.
    Wishing you all the most wonderful "back nine"!!
    Warmly,

    Heartfelt, Personal, and Perfect - Thanks to Robbin!

    Robbin was absolutely wonderful as our wedding officiant! From the very beginning, he took the time to genuinely get to know us, through multiple thoughtful meetings where he genuinely connected with us and learned about our relationship. He crafted a ceremony that felt uniquely personal and truly captured our story.

    Robbin was always responsive and incredibly easy to communicate with, accommodating every request we had and effortlessly incorporating our desired changes into the ceremony. We went into planning unsure about how to structure our ceremony or what elements would resonate with us, but Robbin was there for every step to guide us and created something beautiful and authentic that perfectly suited us.

    Robbin is an engaging and gifted speaker who filled our ceremony with genuine warmth and kindness. His presence and delivery added so much depth and emotion to the ceremony, making our wedding day unforgettable. We truly couldn’t imagine our wedding without him, he was instrumental in making the day as perfect as it was. We highly recommend Robbin to any couple looking for a heartfelt, personalized ceremony!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Nick!! How wonderful. Thank you so much for your kind words. Working with you and Rialda to create a ceremony that was perfect for you was a joy. I truly appreciate your having me play such an important role on one of the biggest days of your life. It was an honor and a pleasure. Wishing you many many years of happiness together!

    Book Robbin as quickly as you can!

    Robbin was the best choice in all of our wonderful wedding planning. He is professional and warm. He made sure that the ceremony would be done exactly as we wanted, and gave great suggestions when we asked. Three of our guests were off-duty wedding photographers and wedding DJs, and after the ceremony they said that Robbin was the best officiant they had encountered. I am thankful that we hired him and wholeheartedly endorse him.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Sheri!!
    Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments. It was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day. You and Michael have wonderful children and the love they have for you both was very evident. Thank you for the honor of serving as your officiant. Wishing you many many years filled with happiness.
    Warmly,
    Robbin

    Amazing Officiant!

    From the moment we met Robbin, we knew we would love working with him! He created a beautiful story of our relationship after only 1 meeting. He included everything we wanted - our journey from start to finish, multiple jokes, and tasteful humor. During our rehearsal, Robbin was professional and his experience showed throughout. Our guests only had positive things to say about him - some even thought that he was a close friend because of how intricate his storytelling was. Our wedding could not have been more perfect, and Robbin was a large part in starting the whole day. We highly recommend Robbin as your officiant!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Emily!! Happy 2025!!! Thank you so very much for your very kind words. It was both a pleasure and an honor to serve as your officiant! Wishing for you both a lifetime filled with prosperity, good health, happiness and love,
    Warmly,
    Robbin

    Please feel confident that all of your expectations will be met and exceeded.
    The day could not have been complete without J Robbin.

    A+ Start to Finish!

    Robbin was absolutely amazing! From our first meetings and chats all the way to our “I do’s”, he walked us through the entire process and most importantly delivered a truly beautiful and unforgettable ceremony. Also he was extremely flexible when we had a last minute venue change due to inclement weather, but his professionalism came through by keeping everything in control and on time. Robbin and his partner were so friendly and kind, and it was a pleasure to work with them. You won’t go wrong by hiring them for your special event, either. Thank you, Robbin!

    You will not be disappointed!!!

    Robbin is the man—plain and simple!!! My now husband and I were worried hiring an officiant we hadn’t met and didn’t know personally. We found The Rite Officiant and from day one he was absolutely amazing to work with. We had video calls and got comfortable with each other. He also coordinated our rehearsal (THANK GOODNESS) and was so funny, personable, and walked us through every single thing that would be taking place during our ceremony, with our feedback and review of course. He also made sure to give everyone tips and tricks to ease nerves as we were all wedding newbies! If you’re looking for a reliable, very well spoken, and helpful officiant, definitely meet with The Rite Officiant. Can’t recommend him enough.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Cady and Ben!!! Thank you so very much for the kind words and enthusiastic referral! It was a pleasure to serve as your officiant (and last minute rehearsal coordinator!). I do enjoy what I do and helping a couple celebrate one of the biggest days of their lives is amazing! Thank you for the honor. It is so important to find an officiant that you connect with and can trust to guide you through the process and the rehearsal. Ceremonies that run smoothly and with no issues do not just happen by themselves. It takes planning, coordinating and experience to identify and avoid the pitfalls and potential issues. So many couples have never been in a wedding party much less served as the the guests of honor!!! And most wedding attendants are not always focused and willing to listen. As a former high school teacher and a wedding professional for over 35 years, I have no problem getting peoples attention, keeping them focused and getting the "job" done. A well run rehearsal should take no more than 45 minutes to an hour. But that only happens when everyone is one time, listens and all the answers to the questions have been decided BEFORE you get to the rehearsal. You dont need 35 opinions on what you should do from people who are not the ones getting married. There are too many moving parts to just let things happen! I try to settle all of those questions in advance!
    But enough about this LOL..... I am so happy that you were pleased with my services and I wish you sooooo many years of happiness.
    Warmest hugs,
    Robbin

    Touching and poignant ceremony brought this Mom-of-the-groom to tears!

    Robin wrote a beautiful, personalized ceremony that had an appropriate combination of meaningful and lighthearted sentiments. His words were touching and reminded all of us of the gift of our marriages, the keys to a successful marriage of respect, compromise, honesty and loyalty during life’s inevitable ups and downs. He was kind enough to send a copy of his ceremony ‘speech’ to me afterwards as well.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Sue! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and kind words. I do really take this job seriously but also with a happy heart! It is a CELEBRATION!!! I do this because I enjoy what I do. May your childrens future be filled with joy!
    Warmly,
    Robbin

    Fantastic wedding officiant

    Robbin gave us a beautiful and very customized ceremony for our wedding. We had a lot of our guests come up and tell us that they thought he was personal friend or someone who we had known for long time with just how well his ceremony fit us as a couple. He also encouraged us try a hand tying ceremony which we absolutely loved, and his meticulous planning really helped us figure out what we even wanted our ceremony to look like. I would 100% recommend Robbin to anyone and we were so lucky to have him as our officiant.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Bradley!! Thank you so much for the wonderful remarks and the 5 stars. Your and Vinces celebration was especially meaningful for me!! I am honored that you selected me to serve as your officiant. I wish you all the happiness and love you deserve. I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review!

    Amazing officiant

    Robbin performed a small service for us recently and he did an amazing job. All of our family members commented after the wedding about how great he was and how natural and warm the service felt despite being short. Before the wedding itself Robbin was quick to respond to questions and updates, and the run through on Zoom made us feel comfortable and prepared for the wedding. He has my highest recommendations for anyone looking for an officiant

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    HI Nick!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this kind review! Wedding are filled with drama!! And it is the last thing I ever want to ADD to a wedding. It is my job to provide experience, training and knowledge so that my clients most special day is as wonderful as it can be. With over 35 years in the wedding industry, I have truly seen, experienced and learned a LOT! And I am more than happy to be not only an officiant but a "phone a friend" or a professional guide so that my couples have a memorable and joy filled experience. Thank you for taking time to leave this review and I wish you both many many happy years filled with love.

    Personable and Professional

    Robbin was amazing. Things got so busy with us planning the wedding and then our daily lives on top of it, we did not end up meeting him for the first time until 1 week prior to the wedding. He asked us many questions and shared experiences. Our next meeting before the wedding you would have thought he had known us for awhile. His wedding program was amazing. We received many compliments about him. Definitely recommend!!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Mike! Thank you so much for your wonderful review. I truly appreciate your taking time to do so. Yes, it was a bit rushed, but what a wonderful celebration! Im so very pleased that not only you and Courtney like the ceremony but your guests as well!!
    Wishing you many years of happiness!!
    Warm regards,
    Robbin

    Best decision we made!

    It's been 3 weeks since we got married and I'm still getting so many compliments about Robbin! He was unbelievable. The number one thing I was looking for in an officiant was someone that could make it seem like they had known us for years. Someone that would take in all of the personal details about us and tell a story. He had people laughing, smiling, and crying throughout our ceremony - all for the right reasons!

    We also presented an odd request - to do a tequila shot during the ceremony! This is something that had a story behind it was very special to us. He absolutely nailed it and worked it into his speech so flawlessly so that it made it seem normal.

    We also had a unexpected event happen during our ceremony that he handled very well. He was professional and compassionate, he got so many compliments on how we acknowledged the incident, then proceeded without missing a beat. He was truly the prefect person for the job and I would recommend him every single time.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Catherine!!!
    Thank you so much for your kind words!! It was truly a memorable event!! For many reasons. One of the things that I have learned in the years that I have spent in the wedding industry is that its all in how its handled. Nothing ever goes as planned! LOL You must be quick to adapt, respectful of the situation and always keep the bride and groom first and foremost in your response. I love what I do and enjoy celebrating one of the biggest days in a couples lives with them and their guests. Its my job to be there to support, uplift and celebrate their relationship. It was unfortunate that the "incident" took place and I truly hope that he has been able to receive help, but that could not be allowed to "derail" the reason why we were there.
    I truly believe that everything happens for a reason, and I was so glad that I was there to help you get through a very difficult moment in and otherwise amazing and joyous celebration.
    Wishing you both many many happy years filled with love,
    Warmest hugs,

    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,
    Warmly,

    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,

    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!!

    He was the Rite Officiant!

    Robbin was an amazing officiant for our intimate wedding this October. He helped us create a ceremony that was touching, heartfelt, and unique to us. Robbin had a ton of great ideas to make our ceremony special. He was also extremely calming and helpful before the ceremony, even attached my husband's boutonniere!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Kristen,
    It was my pleasure to serve as your officiant!! I really enjoy getting to know the couple, hear their story and assist them in creating a meaning ceremony to celebrate their love. My skills as a floral designer are just part of who I am LOL And I couldnt just let them pin the boutonniere on incorrectly and not do something! HA. Wishing you many happy years together!

    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,

    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!

    Robbin was great. He did the ceremony exactly how we wanted he was respectful, funny, always on time. I would hire him again if I was getting married for a second time around! Thank you Robbin!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jessica!! LOL.... lets hope you do not have to get married a second time!!! Oh my! LOL Im so glad that you were so happy with my services. Its always a pleasure to work with a couple and help them express their love for each other and desire to become husband and wife!!

    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,

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,

    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:

    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!

    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!!

    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. :)

    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!!!

    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.

    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!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    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,

    Robbin is the best!

    You will not regret choosing Robbin to be apart of your special day! Wedding planning is so stressful... I can definitely say mine was. But to be honest, the only part of my planning process that wasn’t was working with Robbin. My husband and I heard about Robbin through our venue and I randomly gave him a call one day. Just from speaking with him on the phone, I knew he was the one I wanted to officiate my wedding. Robbin is very flexible and accommodating when it comes to scheduling. We met with him after work hours on a weekday which worked for us and I’m sure most working couples. After only one meeting, he put together the most beautiful ceremony. It was like he had known us for a long time and our guests felt that way as well. All we asked for was a simple ceremony that was personal and reflected us.. and Robbin did just that! Our guests were smiling, laughing and crying (in a good way) throughout the ceremony all thanks to Robbin! Please check one item off your to do list today and call The Rite Officiant! You will not regret it!
    Side note: He owns his own flower shop and did my bouquets and boutonnières. Absolutely beautiful and affordable pricing. Thank you again Robbin for everything!

    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!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    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

    The Rite Officiant- Fantastic

    The wedding ceremony was perfect. The Rite Officiant tailored the service to meet the needs of my family. He was extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. He had good communication skills, he was well prepared for meetings, and he was on time. I would rate my experience as 5 out of 5...excellent.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Tracie! I appreciate you taking the time to post this recommendation. It was an honor to serve as the officiant for your daughter and son in laws wedding. Your input was wonderful.
    Wishing them and you many happy years!!

    Robbin is amazing!

    I found Robbin through WeddingWire reviews, so I figured I'd pay it forward. He was amazing. He did research on us as a couple even before our first meeting, and our first meeting felt like making a new friend. We talked and laughed and he asked us questions and we all told stories. If you just want to hurry up and get it over with, Robbin is not the one for you. But if you want to work with someone who makes you feel like a friend instead of a business transaction, he's your guy! Robbin is so much fun, full of energy, humor, and warmth. It was very easy and a true joy to work with him. He wrote a beautiful ceremony for us with our input, our backgrounds and history together as a couple. I loved the amount of detail he put into everything, even the meaning behind the colors of our handfasting ribbons! That evening, I received numerous compliments from guests about how much they loved our ceremony. I am so glad the officiants that our venue recommended were already booked — I feel like we got something truly unique in our experience with Robbin, and I highly recommend him!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Molly!!! Thank you so very much for that awesome review!!! I always feel that things happen for a reason, and I believe that it was meant for you and Greg to approach me. It was a wonderful ceremony but it was even more wonderful getting to meet you both and hear your story. Thank you so very much for giving me the honor or being the guy to help you "tie the knot".
    Warmest hugs and wishes for many happy years!!

    Great Officant

    Great officiant who made everyone laugh cry, smile and experience warm thoughts throughout the ceremony

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Sadie!! Thanks so much for the review from the point of view of a guest!! Yes, I love to tell a couples story so well that the guest experience all the emotions of a wonderful celebration. Many times the guest assume that I have known the bride and groom for years when I really have only had the pleasure of knowing them for less than a year. I love creating a personal ceremony that truly brings the couples relationship and "story" to the center of the celebration. Thank you for the gift of your presence at their celebration!

    The Rite Officiant was the Right Choice!

    Robbin officiated our wedding ceremony on October 4th, 2019. We were very indecisive about what we wanted included in our ceremony, and Robbin helped us every step away. With very little direction given, Robbin was able to compose the most perfect ceremony incorporating the perfect amount of religion, humor, and our own personalities. We met with Robbin on two separate occasions- the first being a "get to know you" meeting, and the second being a final review of the ceremony. Robbin was personable and responsive to all of our requests, questions, and changes. The day of, Robbin was on time, professional, and a great addition to our wedding. Could not recommend his services any higher!

    Love, Marissa & Kevin (I mean Travis!)

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Marissa!!! HAHAHAHAHA you two were awesome! I had to much fun and it was such a pleasure to help you two create a ceremony that was "you"! The day could not have been any better!! Your guests were so wonderfully attentive and we all had a great laugh with "Kevin". Thank you for the joy of helping you celebrate your very special day!! Wishing you much happiness through the years.
    Much affection and hugs,

    Amazing Officiant

    Robbin was very very helpful, my husband and I were not very knowledgeable on weddings and he was a huge help. He wrote a beautiful personalized ceremony and helped us add really emotional touches. He was charismatic and made the ceremony interesting. He was always easy to get a hold of during planning and overall made the whole experience a breeze.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jessi!! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure helping you and Aaron create a ceremony that was not only respectful and meaningful but also very personal. Wishing you both many many happy years on your "adventure" together! Warm hugs,

    Very well put together ceremony

    Robbin was very helpful creating and performing our ceremony with us. We are non religious so we were concerned what we could do for the ceremony, but Robbin came in with ideas and we filled out a fantastic ceremony. Everyone loved it

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Anthony and Pooja, Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. It was fun working with you two to create a ceremony that reflected your wishes and personalities!! Heres to many many happy trips around the sun together for you two!!!

    Bridesmaid

    Robbin made this ceremony so personal and specific to this couple. I felt as though he knew them for a lifetime. Fun stories and sayings specific to the couple he was marrying. He was fun, made laughs, and kept the guests in tune to the ceremony the entire time. One of the best ceremonies I’ve ever attended!!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Lindsay!! Thank you so much for the comments!! It was a pleasure helping them with their ceremony.. and icing on the cake to meet you there as well!!! Hoping your the rest of your year is amazing!1

    He is super flexible and easy to work with. We immediately felt comfortable with him and trusted him with such an important part of our wedding. We had so many of our guests comment on how lovely our ceremony was and that was all because of him. We would not hesitate to recommend Robbin!!

    Perfect for our intimate gathering

    Robbin was an absolute delight. He surprised us with adding custom "touches" to our vows that were just perfect. He was also unphased by a bit of weather interruption that left us scrambling a bit .... all in great humor.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jen and Larry! What a fun time that was!!! Mother Nature can certainly throw you a curve, but what a memory it made!!
    Thank you for allowing me to be a part of that memory!!
    Wishing you both a love, laughter and music filled lifetime!!

    Awesome experience from start to finish!

    We were lucky enough to have Robbin be the officiant for our wedding on 5.18.2019 at the Dearborn Inn! The process was smooth and he reduced our stress level by taking into account everything we asked to be included in the ceremony script. He was very professional and helpful the night of the ceremony rehearsal/wedding day, but also felt like a friend not just a vendor. I would recommend Robbin to any couple looking for an enjoyable and memorable ceremony experience!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jordan and Michelle!! Thank you so very much for the wonderful comments!! What a terrific experience working with you both. Your day could not have been any more beautiful!! I cant wait to follow along as your lives together unfold. Wishing you a lifetime filled with happiness and love!

    Excellent experience

    Robbin was amazing. We came to him asking for a somewhat unique ceremony, and what he delivered was gorgeous, heartfelt, and perfectly 'us.' More than just writing a beautiful script, Robbin's poise and intonation gave our ceremony a wonderful sense of gravitas. I couldn't recommend him more.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Allison! THANK YOU!!! what a wonderful review. And I was not only honored to be your officiant, but also blessed to have been a witness to you nuptials! :) Some day we should share a glass of mead! Wishing you and and Bryan many happy years.

    Robbin Yelverton did an amazing job for my son's wedding on September 8. The ceremony he wrote was official and professional, combined with humor and light-heartedness. His words were tailored to my son and his new bride, according to their chosen theme. Everyone in attendance absolutely loved it! When my husband and I got home late that evening we agreed that if we could, we would love to hear it all over again.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Vera, thank you so much for your kind remarks. Sean and Jane were a dream to work with; So much fun, and truly sweet people. I count them as friends now and will enjoy watching them as their (your) family grows!! Wishing you all many many happy years!

    Words will simply not cut it to explain how special Robbin made our ceremony but we will do my best :)We knew we were in the good hands after our first meeting, but Robbin exceeded our expectations!
    He made the ceremony special and unique to our relationship. In addition to making sure the process went as smooth as possible (which it did)!
    I even had some of my guests tell me how impressed they were with him!
    Book book book Robbin! He will make your day as special as he made ours!

    Annie & Jake

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Anne!! (and Jake! LOL) Thank you! It was such a joy getting to meet you both, hear your story and help you create a ceremony that reflected your wishes. Your wedding was one of those weddings that I will always remember for all the right reasons! From the beautiful Michigan afternoon (warm, yes, but awesome) to meeting your Grandmother who just happened to be from my old "stomping" grounds. You and Jake were so easy to work with; warm and friendly. I know we will remain in contact through the years. I look forward to watching your marriage as it "Bloomz"! Warmest hugs,

    We gave Robbin a little less than ONE WEEKS notice when we asked him to marry us. It was the best decision we ever made. After filling out the form he sent via email and returning it, he was able to tailor the perfect "I do's" for our special day! It was PERFECT! Pair Robbins personalized officiating with the unique service, professionalism, and beauty of Blumz and you have a dynamic duo that cannot be beat! Truly a "one stop shop". Robbin, thanks to you and your team for making our day truly special and unique. Hugs, Meredith and Alan Johnson (Mowgli too!)

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Meredith and Alan, What a fun surprise when I got your call. Isn't if funny how a chance meeting years ago led to this moment!? It was my pleasure to serve as your officiant. I wish you two many many happy years together. And thank you for thinking of me and Blumz for your special day.

    Robbin is absolutely the best in the business! He is elegant in his vernacular and witty in the moment. He is thoughtful about how he writes his ceremony scripts and he personalizes it to his special couple. Having worked in the event industry, I can tell you that it is the small things such as, "turn and look at your bride," that DO make a difference in a ceremony. Robbin knows these details and it is the reason that it evokes such an incredible feeling of love for everyone present.

    Thank you Robbin!!

    Scott & Kelly Moore

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Kelly !!! Thank you so much for such a lovely review!! I do appreciate the "small things" when it comes to a ceremony. Being "in the moment" and having an appreciation of why you are actually there goes a long way! As much as the reception is a great party... the real reason we are there is the wedding ceremony!! Wishing you two many many years of happiness!

    Robbin gave both my husband and I a very special experience! We put all of our trust in him and he did not disappoint, in fact he went beyond our expectations :) He made me feel like my wedding day was as special to him as it was to me! Robbin was very professional and thorough! I have and will continue to recommend his service! :) A very special guy for a very special day! :)

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    DJay, Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. It was a very special day! You and Zac are a wonderful couple and it was my most distinct pleasure to be able to serve as your officiant. Wishing you many many happy years together!

    Robbin was seriously a godsend! He helped us with everything we could have ever needed help with, and things that we didn't even know we needed help with. He was very professional yet fun, also funny, as well as accommodating to our hectic schedules. We needed an officiant in a pinch and it was such a perfect circumstance that there is no way we could have pictured our day with anybody else! This is the officiant you need, we can't stress that enough! Thanks Robbin for everything you did for us! -Forever Grateful, The Raschke's

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Lynsey and Anson!!! So wonderful! Thank you for the kind words. I was so happy to help you with your special day. Sometimes things are just meant to be and I am grateful that you chose me. Wishing you many happy years together!

    This past July I had the honor of planning the wedding of a very special client's daughter at their home. When they asked me for everything including music, food, flowers, rentals and an officiant. I called The Rite Officiant, Robbin Yelverton!
    He was amazing from beginning to end. His personality blended with my client's family and he made them very comfortable, it was like he became a part of the family. When I watched the ceremony I was amazed at how much he knew about this family and he spoke eloquently bringing laughs, love and smiles! I highly recommend Robbin to anyone who asks!
    I must also mention he has an amazing florist company Blumz by JRDesigns that impressed not only me but my clients when he hit their vision out of the park. A beautiful garden wedding it was!
    Thank you Robbin I will never forget!
    Sincerely
    Adrienne

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Adrienne, it was truly my pleasure!!! What an awesome family and a beautiful event! You are always so much fun to work with. Your professionalism and experience were definitely on point! Anytime you need a "wingman" for wedding ceremonies and flowers, you got me! HA I greatly appreciate your confidence in me as an officiant and I look forward to the next opportunity!!

    Having been to many, many weddings over the years, this was the nicest, sweet, heartfelt, yet professional service I have ever attended. Personable, accommodating, warm and friendly, Robbin took the utmost time and care with our special couple's marriage ceremony and their vows. In live in Florida but if I ever get married, I would hope to convince Robbin to fly down for the ceremony. Folks you won't be disappointed, he is that good!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Carol, THANK YOU, so much for the review! Stacy and Troy are an amazing couple and to do anything less than my best was never the question!! To say that I wasnt moved during the ceremony would be a lie. I got a bit teary myself!!! It was an honor and a blessing to have been there. And if you do decide to get married, you better call me!! HAhahaha

    Robbin was absolutely amazing!!!! We could not have asked for a better officiant to marry us and be a part of our special day. I never met Robbin until the Rehearsal dinner due to me living out of state. However, the moment I spoke with him over the phone, I knew that the decision to have him as our officiant was the best decision! My husband and I were blown away by the amount of compliments we received on our wedding night about how fabulous Robbin was. He truly made the ceremony a memorable one. I highly recommend him! He is A+++++++++

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Jaclyn!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. It was my pleasure to serve as your officiant. Even with the miles between us, I feel like we did an awesome job creating a ceremony that reflected your and Jareds thoughts, beliefs and wishes. And what a beautiful day it turned out to be. Thank you, again, for trusting me with such an important event in the life of you two. I wish you both many, many happy years together!

    Robbin was an AMAZING officiant! We knew we had found the right officiant for us as soon as we met him for our first consultation. He was always genuine and fun, and truly listened to what we were looking for in a ceremony. He was always very quick to respond whenever I emailed him with a question and when the big day came, we couldn't have been happier!! Our ceremony was unique to us and Robbin played a huge part in making our day so special. Thanks again, Robbin!!

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Kristin and Jason!!! It was so my pleasure to be your officiant. From the first meeting, I knew it was going to be fun! Working with you to write a personal ceremony that not only reflected your beliefs but you personalities was wonderful. The ceremony couldn't have been more fitting. Wishing you many many happy years!!!!

    From the first phone call to our meeting in person, we knew we wanted Robbin to be our Officiant. His infectious laugh, charming personality, and wonderful listening skills were the ingredients for a simply PERFECT ceremony! Scott and I felt relaxed and completely at ease during his customized service.
    He delivered not only the religious ceremony, but put his own twist to it incorporating our interests and wishes just as we asked.
    Our guests were equally as impressed and entertained, raving about how much they enjoyed his officiating, some admitting they actually learned something.
    We highly recommend Robbin if you are looking for a flawless service.
    You will NOT be disappointed!!
    Thank you Robbin, for making our day so special and most memorable. :))

    Robbin was the perfect officiant for us!!! We had a small ceremony (with us and our children), but in a grand venue (the Guardian Building), and we wanted it to be a very special family event. We also wanted to incorporate both Catholic and Buddhist elements in a unique way, and we also wanted to sing songs to each other. Robbin is a fantastic individual. He projects warmth and humor and is very approachable and friendly. We met with him beforehand to discuss the details, and he understood what we wanted and was very receptive to our input. Robbin also is a great communicator and responds very quickly to emails. Our wedding was a truly wonderful ceremony that we will remember for the rest of our lives, and we are so glad that Robbin was a part of it! Rob and Lisa

    When you think about a marriage, ceremony and vows one word comes to mind: special. Robbin is just that, special, and he makes the ceremony special by tailoring it to you and your spouse. He takes the time to get to know you so he can write very meaningful vows that only apply to you. I called Robbin and said, we want to get married but we want nothing traditional. We want random day of the week in 4 weeks and just us. He gave us the great idea of a pop up wedding on Belle Isle which was perfect for us. He even made the beautiful flowers! So whether you want something elaborate or simple, Robbin can accommodate anything and everything in between to ensure your day is special! Robbin shared that special day with us and will be a part of our lives forever!

    We had such a great experience with Robbin as our wedding officiant. Robbin from the first meeting Sandi and I had with him he made us feel relaxed and comfortable with him and the whole experience. Robbin listened to what Sandi and I told him regarding what type of ceremony we wanted, our life together, and family. Robbin put together a beautiful wedding ceremony for us and was always in touch with us to make sure everything was the way we wanted our ceremony to be. Robbin also helped and assisted us with our wedding rehearsal . Robbin made the wedding so special that several of our wedding guests asked us how long we have known Robbin for.
    Unfortunately there are only 5 stars to rank Robbin with because he deserves 10 for everything he did for Sandi and my wedding day. If you are looking for a wedding officiant I can not recommend Robbin enough.

    Robbin was an excellent officiant. Originally, we asked a friend to marry us, but she had to back out last minute. Robbin was able to quickly pick up where she left off and delivered an excellent ceremony. It had a very warm tone that was also funny without being silly. We have received several compliments on our choice of officiant, and we wouldn't have changed a thing.

    I loved Robbin as he felt like family. He was so very professional yet, personable at the same time. The flowers were exceptional, and so beautiful as he took so much time on them to make our day special. Our Ceremony was also exceptional and everyone said that they have never seen such a beautiful ceremony. Robbin's delivery made my Ceremony perfect. Robbin made me feel at ease with his sweet and funny personality as I was very emotional before I walked down the isle. From my heart and Mo's heart, thank you Robbin for making our day special and thank you BLUMZ for the stunning spray of flowers and bouquets. We will be ordering calla lily's every year from BLUMZ for our anniversary.
    LOVE!

    Thank you,

    Robbin gladly agreed to do our wedding with less than a few weeks notice to be held on the date and time of our choice. He was very professional, discussed the process in advance, and was early to the ceremony. Robbin made the process very smooth and added a very calming presence to what can be a nervous ceremony. I highly recommend Robbin.

    Meet with him. Tell him what you want. We met with him for about 1.5 hours. He told us he would write the ceremony and we could make changes to it. He NAILED IT the first draft. Family and friends told us it was the most heartfelt ceremony they have been to. We highly recommend using him.

    As a wedding vendor, I particularly like referring Robbin to my clients because of his natural comfort level speaking in front of people. It translates to a very natural ceremony where I perceive him to be present with the couple. To be clear, I've watched many officiants read from a book in almost a monotonous way - the result is a ceremony that is less personal, more dry and not as special for the couple. Robbin's style is completely opposite of this. He is warm, present, comfortable, caring and flexible. Our team highly recommends his services.

    Robbin Yelverton was the officiant for my daughter's wedding this past Saturday.
    As the mother of the bride (MOB), I was truly moved by the detail, creativity and personalization Robbin put into leading the ceremony. While he is very conscientious, he made everything very entertaining and enjoyable as well.
    We were very pleased with the way it all went.
    I would definitely recommend Robbin for your wedding service

    Robbin was incredible. We were comfortable with him right away and he knew exactly how to make the perfect ceremony to match our story and our personalities. I definitely recommend Robbin for any couple tying the knot!

    In the beginning months some of the emailing was sporadic but that was quickly rectified and we felt a million times better once we met with him. It seems like facebook is the quickest way for him to get back with you. I would recommend him to everyone! My NEW HUSBAND, and are are pretty reserved and shy at times. Robbin was able to see that and make our wedding special for us and I could not be more happy with how it all turned out.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Hi Dayna! Thanks for the review. Im so glad you were pleased with my performance. It was my distinct pleasure to write a ceremony for you and Josh. The joy and love written all over your face during the ceremony was a shear pleasure to behold!
    Yes, initially there was some "stutters" in communication as we initially chatted over the very busy holiday season in December and January. But once we cleared that it was very smooth. Thank you for your understanding of the very busy season.
    I wish you and Josh many many happy and love filled years together!
    Warmly, Robbin

    Robbin made everything run smoothly and beautifully

    Robbin customized our service to meet our needs. He was extremely professional and took control of the ceremony when it was time, but with a gentle touch. He is very easy to work with and interested in making your day special. He came up with some beautiful thoughts to share and took the pressure off of us.

    The Rite Officiant's reply:

    Thank you Lisa for your kind remarks. It was a pleasure working with you and Dan. It was my pleasure to serve not only as your officiant but also helping Dan with his nervousness regarding actually being on "display" in front of everyone! It was a beautiful evening and a wonderful celebration. Wishing you many many happy years together.
