“When our original officiant flaked out a little less than a week before our wedding, I was in full panic bridezilla mode. To us, the ceremony was the root of the entire wedding, the moment everything else was built around, the whole purpose of why we were all even there. I was overwhelmed, stressed, and honestly heartbroken.
Then we found Robbie through a coworker of mine (Robbie had officiated their wedding a few years ago). From the very first call, he spoke to me so rationally that I could actually breathe again. He took the time to reassure us, walk us through our options, and immediately began moving things around in his schedule to make it all work out.
The situation we brought to him wasn’t simple or convenient, but he took it on with so much intention and care. Even though everything was last-minute, he never made us feel rushed, secondary, or like we were just another booking. What’s even more incredible is that even though he only knew us for about 5 days, the ceremony felt like he had known our story for years. We will always be grateful to Robbie for stepping in when we needed it most.
Just a side note, despite everything he had to do to make it work for us, Robbie never tried to upsell us or charge extra for our last-minute request. A few other officiants we spoke with before him said they would need to add a few hundred dollars as a “late fee,” but Robbie didn’t do that at all. I don't even think it crossed his mind. Honestly, though, he was such a blessing that we chose to give him more voluntarily, because we truly felt he deserved it.”
