Rev. Robin Renteria. M.Div.

I cannot express how great of a job Robin did as the officiant of our wedding. The communication with her up until the wedding day was flawless (even all the was from Ohio). She made me feel that she really cared about making our wedding special the entire time and continuously reminded us that we could and should make the ceremony exactly what we wanted--no strings attached!! Up until the last minute she really made an effort to make sure our wedding ceremony was exactly what we wanted (all the way down to what she wore). The day of the event she did such a fantastic job and didn't even miss a beat when one of the groomsmen fainted!! I cannot thank Robin enough for the job she did and I highly recommend her services :)

Reverend Robin absolutely made my wedding day a complete joy. My time with Reverend Robin began a full year prior to my wedding when my groom and I met with her to discuss what we wanted for our wedding. Her warmth and genuine concern with making sure our ceremony reflected who we are and what we wanted our day to be put us at ease immediately. Over the next year, Reverend Robin corresponded with us, helping us to find ceremony readings, etc that had special meaning for us. At our actual ceremony, Reverend Robin was such a calming and loving presence. Many of our family and friends commented to us on how much joy Reverend Robin exuded during the ceremony. You will find her to be an incredibly compassionate and genuinely loving officiant. I cannot recommend her more highly.

We were extremely happy with every aspect of our ceremony. We were truly pleased with Robin, she is kind, professional and has a wonderful ability to tailor the ceremony to your exact specifications. Robin is one of the most delightful people we have ever worked with, we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officant. I truly cannot imagine anyone would do a better job!

We are so happy we found Robin! We were starting from very square one in our ceremony planning and she sat with us and learned about us, and enthusiastically explained the ceremony arc to us in a way that helped us plan a really meaningful and personal ceremony. We have gotten so many compliments on our ceremony and her presence - her style was fabulous and created a connection with us, and with the guests that was exactly what we wanted - to get everyone present and getting meaning out of the ceremony. She was great!!

Robin was such an amazing find when we planned our spur-of-the-moment January wedding. We were planning from California for a Chapel Hill wedding and Robin worked so well with us via e mail to create a wonderful, personalized, beautiful ceremony. She was able to incorporate poetry wishes and traditions like a ring warming so that it felt special. It was fantastic!!

Robin is an absolute pleasure to work with. Our ceremony was a short-notice change of plans from an original intention to go to the Courthouse. With Robin's patience, guidance, and flexibility, along with her host of resources which she openly shares, a very nice private ceremony was organized in a couple weeks. Even without a rehearsal, the service was beautiful, stress-free, and expertly conducted. We appreciate Robin's comfort and warmth. We are very pleased overall.

We had our wedding ceremony in downtown Raleigh at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences and all of our guests genuinely loved it. In preparation for the big day, Robin was exceedingly patient in our back-and-forth and helped us create a ceremony that we truly loved. Though we were indecisive and slow with replying to her emails at times, she was a wealth of creative ideas. On the wedding day, she put everyone at ease and helped us to stay calm and really enjoy the ceremony. Robin, while very professional, exudes positive energy, and smiling, laughing guests were exactly what we wished for. We could not have asked for a better wedding officiant.

Robin has a warm personality and a lot of poise, which made our ceremony appealing and helped us stay calm when up at the altar. Even more important, she allowed us to write our own ceremony using her "Big Book" of ceremony excerpts plus our own original vows. We emailed it to her, and she offered ideas without pressuring us to change it at all. Robin happily and skillfully delivered it just as we had written. We couldn't imagine a better wedding minister and strongly recommend her to everyone, regardless of the message you want your ceremony to have.

Robin you are amazing. Scott and I feel blessed to have you marry us. You were sweet and genuinely happy for us. You can tell you love what you do. You kept everything moving at the right pace. You have a special place in our hearts. Thank you isnt enough. Your an angel.

Robin Renteria was a fantastic officiant for our intimate wedding ceremony! Robin assisted us with planning and designing our own ceremony which was tailored specifically to us and really exemplified who we were as a couple. Robin also had some unique ideas including a ring warming ceremony and unity wine ceremony which we were quick to add to our program. It was very evident that Robin is passionate about her work and truly strived to make our wedding day extra special. She was absolutely wonderful and fulfilled above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous officiant!

Robin officiated our wedding in downtown Raleigh on Saturday, November 17th 2012. From start to finish Robin was a delight to work with. She was open to personalizing our ceremony so that it fit us perfectly. She is extremely responsive, and provides a comprehensive wedding ceremony workbook (authored by Robin, herself) that walks a married couple-to-be through every step of the ceremony. The workbook and questionnaire were extremely helpful in decided exactly how we wanted our ceremony to flow, and reflect us as a couple. We let Robin know what we wanted to include, and she formulated an amazing ceremony. Many of our guests commented that it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever attended. Robin is warm, her voice projects warmly, and she is very professional. Many thanks to her for marrying us!

Robin was absolutely amazing. She had so many options for the ceremony design and made making our ceremony personal SO easy. There was a special uniqueness about her delivery and her care really came through in the delivery. All of our guests commented on how beautiful and smooth the ceremony was, and they LOVE how Robin would pause to let everyone savor in the moment. It could not have been better, and Robin is so much to thank for that!

Robin was wonderful to my Fiance as well as my entire family. This was not my first marriage and I wanted it to be special. We found Robin through our Wedding Planner (Katherine Katz*wonderful too) and from the start she put us at eaze. She provided us with her wedding book which allowed us to choose the style and format that we wanted. We had a simple wedding in a hotel. We met her in person as well as communicated via e-mail until everything was just as we wanted. I really liked that she had us fill out a sheet so that she could tell our guests, in her own words what attracted us to each other as well as our hopes for our future together. She expresses such joy in what she is doing that just listening to her speak moved me to tears. I would recommend her to anyone.

Robin was absolutely fantastic - she was responsive, kind and comforting from our very first interaction. She allowed us to craft our own personal ceremony and accommodated our own ideas.

She was an absolutely invaluable help on the day of - coordinating details of the ceremony, giving tips about nerves, and making our ceremony truly heartfelt.

Her delivery was just perfect for our intimate ceremony and we would recommend her to anyone looking for a personalized and sentimental wedding!

Robin is amazing! She is extremely thorough and helped my husband and I create a ceremony that was tailored specifically for us. She had so many resources and was very helpful along the way. She performed a beautiful and wonderful ceremony for us and my friends and family commented many times on how wonderful she was as well.

Rev. Renteria was exactly what we were looking for to complete our small non-denominational family wedding. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process by providing a full range of examples as well as offering suggestions based on her experience and skills. She was there to encourage us when needed and gave us space to complete all the other important wedding tasks. I would definitely recommend her.

Robin was THE BEST. Not only did she put together a beautiful ceremony that was perfect for my husband and me, she was was invaluable as a source of calm for my entire family. The day of the wedding, the rain got in the way of our outdoor ceremony and the Reverend kept in touch with my Dad (he was the designated contact for the day) and was able to assure him that the indoor space would be just as nice and even more intimate. Robin radiates a calming, loving presence and she made sure we were mentally present and fully prepared for the ceremony. She put together a meaningful ceremony and was very gracious about making changes. My husband and I are more spiritual than religious and she was able to tailor a ceremony that felt fairly traditional but without mention of God. I would HIGHLY recommend her to any couple- she is amazing!

Robin helped us make a meaningful and personal ceremony for our wedding! It was perfect and it reflected our personalities and our relationship! She was so helpful for the full year of planning. She was very responsive and easy to get in touch with. I HIGHLY recommend her to every bride!

If I could give Robin 6 stars I would because without her guidance, I don't believe my husband and I would have had a wedding ceremony at all, much less such beautiful one. Robin guided us through planning the ceremony from the very first time we contacted her up until the arrival of the big day. She helped us plan a ceremony that was both beautiful and stayed true to us as a couple, even with our major time and money constraints. The ceremony she lead for us on our wedding day was beautiful, her delivery was engaging, and her warm presence eased our nerves and set the perfect tone. Robin is a true professional that will go above and beyond to ensure that your wedding is exactly what you want it to be. Any couple who chooses Robin to officiate their wedding can rest assured that it will turn out wonderfully because she the absolute best at what she does.

We found Robin through her website and were a little skeptical letting someone we met on the internet marry us, but in the first moment we met her we KNEW that she would be perfect! She connected to both of us and that was really important to us. We met several times over the course of pre-marital counseling and got to know her. Together we customized our ceremony to fit us and then Robin rounded it out with bits of personalization that was perfect. We really wanted the ceremony to be meaningful and memorable for us, but so many people said they really loved our ceremony too. In addition, she helped coordinate our wedding party during the rehearsal and the day-of. If your family is anything like ours, her experience was extremely helpful!!

If you're looking for a reverend who is kind, experienced, professional yet warm, and who will make your ceremony personalized, look no further than robin. She made our small ceremony extraordinary; our guests kept saying how lovely and personal it was. We met robin in person once before our wedding and kept in touch with her via email which was great throughout all our busy planning. She makes everything easy and helps get rid of stress on your day.

Rev. Renteria was a joy to work with from the start. She was open to our suggestions and supported us in crafting a ceremony that was a reflection of what we wanted to share with friends and family that day. She was a grounded and reassuring presence on the day of our ceremony and helped us both feel at ease throughout the process.

Robin was wonderful. She helped my (now) husband and I create a ceremony that was so 'us'. We didn't want a very traditional ceremony but we weren't sure really beyond that what we wanted. Robin guided us through the process so easily and made us feel completely in control. She gave us just as much, or as little, help as we needed. Not to mention she was such a calming influence on the rehearsal and the day itself! We couldn't have asked for more from her : )

Rev. Robin Renteria was perfect for our wedding! It's hard mixing religions together and she does a great job in bringing everything together to sound smooth and professional. After our wedding ceremony everybody was commenting on how well she did the ceremony and how beautiful it was.

If we ever renew our vows, she is going to be the one we go to :).

Robin was amazing officiant. She was patient and kind in working with our 5 boys during a special bonding ceremony we had at our wedding. Her expertise in our request for a handfasting ceremony was most welcome and she took her time in making sure everyone could hear her and follow along. The flexibility to drive all the way from Hillsborough to Wake Forest on Labor Day weekend was very appreciative. She exceeded my expectations and everyone loved her! I would recommend her in the highest regard to anyone needing her services.

Robin helped us to create a ceremony that felt intimate and inclusive and perfectly captured all of the things we wanted to say to one another and our guests. She's patient, professional and an especially calming presence. We highly recommend working with her!

Robin is an amazing person and officiant. She took so much time to get to know us and customize "our" wedding so it was perfect for us and unique in content. I am so grateful to have found Robin for this very special moment in our lives.

Reverend Renteria is extremely pleasant, professional, articulate, responsive and thorough. She worked closely with my fiancé and I to make sure our ceremony was a representation of us as a couple. All of our guests commented on how beautiful our ceremony was. It will always be remembered by everyone in attendance. She was a blessing from God!

Robin helped me to create exactly the kind of personal, nontraditional wedding ceremony that I was looking for. When I began my consultation, I had a very faint idea of what I wanted - a small ceremony that blended our two cultures and languages in a way that was personal, short and sweet. I had no idea what that was going to look like. Robin really listened, provided us with ideas and materials, and worked with us to develop a ceremony plan that was uniquely ours. On the day of the wedding, Robin was flawless. She followed our plan to a t, and delivered our introductions, blessings, etc with warmth. Because we had a very small wedding, we elected not to do a rehearsal. Because of Robin's great communication and planning, we were still prepared, we knew what was coming and everything came together without a hitch.

We were behind schedule, but Robin came early. She even helped my family with set up. The ceremony was beautiful, simple and uniquely us, and I truly believe we couldn't have put together anything that special without Robin's help.

We could not have picked a better Reverend/Officiant to conduct our ceremony! Robin was wonderful to work with! She was laid back, respectful, flexible, and responsive. She offered lots of great ceremony examples of different religions. She seemed very knowledgeable of various customs/traditions and encouraged us to make our ceremony our own by picking and choosing exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend Robin!

I confess, I had met Robin socially before we chose her to officiate our ceremony, but after coming highly recommended by two other couples and after checking out her website, we were 100% sold!

Both warm and professional, Robin's level of care and caring is reassuring in what can potentially be an overwhelming process. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments we got not just on the ceremony itself but also about how wonderful Robin was! Her face just radiates joy - and not just during the ceremony, it's a natural gift she possesses.

Her work with us resulted in a ceremony that was entirely 'us' through and through and vows that we will treasure for a...

Our ceremony with Rev. Renteria was absolutely wonderful and perfect! She really supported and guided us in planning the ceremony, and she took the time to include the interfaith elements we wanted to make it unique and completely ours! So many of our guests commented that it was a spiritually uplifting ceremony, as well as inspiring--while being personalized and a great representation of us as a couple. Rev. Renteria was such an awesome choice for us, and she impressed everyone at our wedding!

Robin was amazing. We started planning well over a year in advance for our wedding and she was patient and communicative throughout the entire process. We wanted a ceremony that was unique to ourselves and our families, and Robin's input and suggestions were extremely helpful in crafting our ideal ceremony. We were thrilled with the finished product - we both felt that the ceremony absolutely captured our love for one another in a truly personal way. We are still getting comments from guests about how it was the most moving and endearing wedding they've been to in years. Thanks Robin!

I can't recommend Robin more highly. She is a wonderful officiant! She provided us with tons of resources to plan a custom ceremony for our wedding, and incorporated our ideas (such as a "Red String of Fate" wine ceremony to tie in with my husband's Chinese heritage). She set just the right tone for the ceremony--warm but not too informal. We received many comments on how meaningful the ceremony was, and will highly recommend Robin to others.

Robin did a wonderful job on our wedding ceremony. She was quick to respond to emails, is very organized, and provides plenty of resources to have a personalized wedding ceremony. She was very helpful during the rehearsal, and was a great help to me on little things that I wouldn't have thought about. We received a lot of compliments from our friends and family on our ceremony. I would happily recommended Robin to any of my friends.

Robin was a wonderful officiant for our recent wedding. She was responsive from the first time we contacted her and always attentive to our needs and desires for the ceremony. She gave us exactly the tone we wanted and was even willing to change her dress on the day of the wedding to match the colors of our venue. We are so glad she was part of our ceremony.

Robin was an excellent officiant! The whole process with her was very easy and smooth. Her communication skills and professionialism are unmatched. She made sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Thanks Robin, for everything :)

We found Robin online, and as soon as I read about her, I knew that she would be perfect for us. She was a true professional who made our ceremony better than we imagined by providing a wealth of wedding options. We were able to choose one that suited us and customize it to reflect our traditions and beliefs. Since we were looking for something simple, beautiful, and somewhat non-traditional, it was important to find someone who could help shape our vision AND make it a reality. Robin was all of that and more, giving guidance to photographers and our guests to make sure that there were no unnecessary distractions. Most importantly, Robin provided a calming influence and gave us the time to savor the moment. We can't thank her enough.

Robin did a fantastic job. She listened and got an understanding of how we wanted the ceremony to go. She provided scripts for us to choose from and adapt--great for a couple who didn't quite know where to start. We made quite a few changes, and she was able to point out what was not traditional to make sure that was what we really wanted. We did. She also helped us think about a lot of little details that made everything work smoothly on the big day. She has a nice calming influence too which put us at ease. We absolutely loved that nothing felt rushed. As she conducted our wedding ceremony it was as though time stopped, and we were able to savor the moment.

Priceless.

Robin was a wonderful officiant for our ceremony. Everyone commented afterwards how dignified the ceremony was while at the same time it was intimate and completely "us." We wanted a more secular ceremony, but one that would still be suitable for the Duke Chapel and Robin provided just that. She was very accommodating-- we had parts of the ceremony in Slovak which she had willingly and smoothly incorporated. She had also provided us with material that helped us tailor our ceremony to exactly what we wanted as a couple, and she was a warm and steady presence at both our rehearsal and the ceremony itself. Above all, from the time we first met with her, through the day of our wedding, she exuded a genuine happiness for us as a couple that made working with her to share in our day an easy and comfortable process that we will always look back on with fondness.

We can't thank her enough for all the help that she has given to us!

Robin did a great job at our wedding and was prompt and very professional but still very friendly. I'm so glad she knew where to be and who to find for signatures because I barely remember the day. The next day I couldn't even remember where she told me she put the marriage license but found it later with the gift envelopes; which was just great she put it there. I couldn't have asked for a better person to do our ceremony and everything went just very smooth and was very touching.

Robin was wonderful. This wedding was small, just myself and my husband, Robin officiated and 2 witnesses. This day, this wedding ceremony was so spiritual and so beautiful that I could not have wished for this to have gone any other way.Robin's help and suggestions and the witnesses she arranged to be with us....made this petfect for us. We will never forget how peaceful and calm and filled with joy this day was.

Robin worked with us to prepare our own vows and met us at our favorite outdoor spot with a few friends for the ceremony. Her presence was delightful and professional. She was more than we could have hoped for. We will recommend her highly to our own friends and family.

If it's any indication, our minds were each separately made up within three minutes of meeting Robin. Her overall approach - informative, real, present, honest, gentle and loving - really hit home for me and my (now) husband. Neither of us likes to be the center of attention and we could both just tell immediately after meeting Robin that she would be exactly the calming presence that we would need on our wedding day. We were 110% happy with the choice.

Robin had these amazing pre-ceremony workbooks to help her get to know us and to help us to naturally tell our own story so she could work in the details and really personalize the wedding. We were very grateful to have a framework to help us get our head's around all that we wanted to include in our special day. Using these workbooks, we were able to shape a ceremony that was 100% what we wanted to say to one another and to our guests. We were able to incorporate the interests of our more traditionally Christian parents and grandparents while keeping true to ourselves. We wrote our own vows, which was made much easier with inspiration from countless sources and ideas that Robin provided us with. It really was the best part of the day for us. And it would absolutely not have been as meaningful or as poignant without Robin's help and presence.

All of our guests commented that it was the most "perfect" ceremony for the two of us and that it felt like Robin had really captured our story, our love, and our "vibe" and that she really created a wedding ceremony that was full of meaning. Our favorite comment was from our wedding photographer, who said that our wedding reminded her why she does her job, and that it reminded her of her own wedding, and that she was basically crying and laughing behind the lens as she captured it all.

Robin was so wonderful to work with! She spent time really getting to know my husband and I. The ceremony was exactly us and everything we were looking for. We were both very nervous and she made us feel very comfortable, which allowed us to really enjoy our ceremony, not just run through the steps. I can't tell you how many guests came up to me after with compliments of how the ceremony was very down to earth, understandable, and so meaningful to what marriage is really about especially for those who knew our personalities really well. She made our day amazing and I can't say thank you enough!

Its hard to know where to start with Robin because I think she is the only person that could have done a ceremony like she did ours. It was beautiful, peaceful, and fun at the same time. She is an AMAZING officiant. My husband and I met with her once before we decided to use her and were incredibly impressed with how personable she was and how eloquent she spoke, even on the fly. She was very quick to respond to emails with questions was very accommodating with what we were looking for in a ceremony. The rehearsal was a breeze, she showed up early, came prepared, was very genuine with everyone. The wedding ceremony exceeded my expectations. Everything on time, no hitches in anything, perfectly executed, and we felt like we have known her forever.

Robin also gives great recommendations for vendors she has worked with. We used one of her day-of-planner recommendations (Natasha Wayne) and don'r regret it at all.

Robin was amazing to work with. I put the deposit down to reserve our date in person the minute we met her, and it was one of the best choices we made for the wedding for the following reasons:

1) she put us right at ease, I was very nervous about standing in front of everyone and exchanging vows, but Robin ensured us it was not a performance, that we could face her and exchange vows quietly to each other while she worried about repeating things loudly for our guests.
2) Planning and writing our ceremony was a breeze. Robin provided us with her big book of resources which was packed full of sample wording, ceremonies, readings, you name it. We had fun going through and choosing parts that suited us, and then Robin provided some feedback and additional personalization. Everyone loved the ceremony.
3) She is a true professional. We had so many unexpected hiccups on our wedding day. from a giant down pour 15 minutes before our outdoor ceremony, to a black snake that made an appearance on the deck during the processional, Robin handled everything for us with a calming presence that reassured everyone.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Robin. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Robin was absolutely wonderful to work with. She totally listened to my husband and mines ideas and are wants for the ceremony. She was experienced and also had great ideas for us to use. She both made us feel so comfortable and helped to remind us through all the craziness of planning a wedding the reason we wanted to get married.

Our wedding ceremony was incredibly important to me and my fiancée (husband now). While we wanted a fairly short ceremony, we not only wanted something expressive that spoke to each of our hearts, but to also touch our guests in a meaningful way… and Robin helped us achieve that.
I cannot count how many of our guests approached us during the reception and in the days following commenting on how wonderful our officiant was. They loved everything about the ceremony and how it was delivered, and that it did indeed bring them pause and reflection in their own life.
Our wedding party (all of which were married themselves) had delightful things to say about Robin and were so pleased that we had found an officiant who was a perfect fit for the two of us.
Robin reminds you that your wedding ceremony is only about you and your partner, and to cherish that most important moment of your life.

Robin is wonderful! She was a joy to work with and consistently reminds you throughout the process that the wedding is essentially about YOU (not your parents, grandparents, or guests). Robin was able to help us create a ceremony that was both meaningful to us, as well to our parents who had different religious beliefs. Robin always responded to our questions quickly and was always willing to assist with anything we needed. I do not hesitate to say that she was the best choice for the person to marry us, and I would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Robin was PERFECT for our wedding. My husband and I had been searching for a minister who could do a wedding ceremony and help us contruct vows that would be true to our individual religious beliefs. She worked with us to construct every SINGLE word to our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. We also did our counseling with her and it was very helpful for us because she introduced many ideas and thoughts that we had not come across before. The sessions gave us several things to talk about and it strenghtened our relationship.
If you want a minister who will help you have a custom wedding in just about any type of religious faith or interfaith wedding I recommend Robin.

Robin was incredible. She helped us through a few hicups and was a huge help with the wedding when she got there. She was on the ball and very helpful.

Robin was truly delightful to work with. Her service and professionalism was exceptional and it felt like she really knew us! She making you feel comfortable so you can just relax and enjoy the moment. Let's just say we LOVED HER!

Robin did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. She incorporated fun, personal details to give us a ceremony that was very meaningful. She did a great job listening to how we wanted to ceremony to feel, and the overall message of how we felt about our marriage. Every detail of our ceremony was personalized to us as a couple. Many of our guests commented on how lovely the ceremony was, thanks to Robin. Everyone could truly feel the love through her words. She also did a great job keeping her cool when my maid of honor fainted!

Robin was such a pleasure to work with! She makes the process of personalizing your ceremony extremely easy and enjoyable. Robin has such a calming spirit...which I definitely needed on that day! I would recommend her to anyone for a perfect service.

i found the perfect person to assist with my wedding that was planned in such short notice and who understood what i wanted. the best experince ever was with robin.

Robin was more than we could ask for when it came to officiating our wedding. She gave us so many options to choose from when personalizing our ceremony. We were able to put together a ceremony that brought together two very different cultures and religions. We received so many compliments on the ceremony and our officiant. Robin truly made our day so special. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help guide your special day!

Reverend Robin Renteria was wonderful!! My husband and I were married on short notice in the Gardens at Duke and she was very flexible and able to work with us. She was quick to respond and very professional. Reverend Robin Renteria provided us with several options and made our day very memorable and lovely. I certainly recommend her to any couple looking for a very personalized and special ceremony!

We are truly grateful to Robin for handling our ceremony so well. She was supporting us with every step of the way. When we only started planning, as a couple new to the process, we didn't know of many of the small details that had to be planned or decided on ahead. Robin gave us all this information and helped us make choices that would fit our ceremony. She worked with us patiently to create a customized ceremony and kept reassuring us that she will not stop until we are satisfied with it. At times we were busy planning other things for our wedding and couldn't provide immediate feedback. In those cases, we never felt pressured and rushed by Robin. She would always encourage us to take all the time we needed to come up with words that felt right for us.
On our wedding day, Robin arrived well in advance to make sure that everything was set up and in place. She took time to get to know our photographer and other vendors which showed us that she had a sincere interest in our ceremony. During the ceremony, Robin was 100% there with us and we could feel her calm and reassuring presence which took a lot of pressure and nervousness away. Robin spoke calmly and never rushed through the words.
At the end, she stayed with us for a little bit to congratulate and enjoy our moment with us. Lastly, she promptly took care of all the paperwork for us, and our marriage certificates arrived in the mail in only 4 days after the wedding!!
We would absolutely recommend Robin to our friends and any other couple who is looking for a trusting, professional and kind officiant. She was all that for us, and our happiest day in our lives will always be associated with her. Thank you, Robin!

Robin did an excellent job of providing us with a personalized, relaxed ceremony that was perfect for us. She listened to our requests and honored them. We recommend her highly!

Robin was amazing! She had so many different ways to do a ceremony, you didn't have to think very hard. We wanted just a basic ceremony, clean and more or less straight to the point, and Robin made it happen. She was funny, flexiable, personable, and so helpful with everything. I could not have done the ceremony without her. Any questions or concerns you have, Robin is there for you. I was completely stressed out about my venue, and Robin reassured me that all would be alright. She was right! She made the attendents laugh and helped us feel more relaxed. It was the best day ever!

Rev. Robin was a joy to work with. On very short notice, she helped us put together a beautiful ceremony. I would definitely recommend her services to friends.

Robin is great! Very easy to work with; Very personable & helpful; We were clueless about how we wanted our ceremony to go, but with Robin's help, we were able to mix, match & construct a ceremony from her collection, and still it seemed tailored just to our relationship!
We were told multiple times how beautiful & unique the ceremony was; We were so happy with everything! Thank you, Robin, for all your help & a beautiful ceremony!

Robin listened to us and made sure we had exactly the ceremony we wanted. It was a pleasure working with her.

Robin was wonderful! My husband and I planned our wedding in 6 weeks, and we come from very different religious backgrounds. Robin helped us create a fun, joyous, and inclusive ceremony that reflected who we are together and as individuals while managing to keep our families happy. We received many compliments on the ceremony and our choice in officiant. We highly recommend her.

Rev. Robin was a joy to work with! She really helped us to map out the ceremony and provided us with guidelines for writing our own vows. She was very flexible and took to time to counsel us as a couple in addition to performing our ceremony. She made us feel as if our wishes for our wedding were important and she incorporated important touches which made our ceremony memorable and special. We wish we could do it all over again! If we could, we would choose to have Rev. Robin as our officiant again and again!

Rev. Robin Renteria officiated our wedding on November 13, 2011 and did the most beautiful job. We knew when we first met with Robin that she was going to be our pick for our wedding officiant. She was the first person we chose when looking online and then after meeting her, we were happy that we needed to look no further. Robin worked with us to create a ceremony that was unique and special for us and that meant so much. Our wedding was a special day to unite as a couple and also to unite as a family because we just had a newborn son to celebrate as well. Robin did a wonderful job incorporating a recognition of our son into the ceremony. By the time our ceremony came around, Robin felt like and was a friend, and it was so comforting and natural to be up at the alter saying our vows and hearing our ceremony with her as our guide. Robin creates an atmosphere for you and your significant other that feels very personal, very intimate and very true to who you are as a couple. She gives you time during your ceremony to really soak in what is happening - we never felt rushed. Robin is also quite familiar with many of the wedding venues and vendors and that aspect will help your ceremony go smoothly - she was such a pro at our wedding.My family and guests all asked - "Where did you find her? She is fantastic!" Yes, she is. Definitely place her on your list of wedding officiants to speak with in your search for the perfect wedding officiant. She is first class! - Jen & Rob

Robin was great and delivered our ceremony in the exact way we wanted.

• She responded within hours of receiving emails, though the usual response time was shorter than a couple of hours.
• She was extremely helpful in the planning process, and willing to give constructive input.
• She was extremely flexible, and was willing to accomodate last-minute additions/changes flawlessly.
• She delivers her lines well and projected our happiness and joyfulness wonderfully.

She is a kind, friendly, women who genuinely hopes to make your wedding enjoyable which she truly did. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else than Robin. I should add that we called Robin a week before the ceremony and she managed to fit us into her schedule at 11:11am.
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed Robin being a part of it. She truly made it the most special day of our lives . I strongly suggest using Robin to officiate any type of ceremony!!

Robin was wonderful. She worked with us to pick out the exact wording my hubby and I would be happy with. She made wonderful suggestions, and the personal touches she put into our ceremony were perfect. Our families and friends could not stop raving about how great she was, and how the wording and tempo was perfect for us! Do not go to anyone else - Robin is great!!! So grateful we found her. Teri and Steve Rasa

Robin is an incredible person!! She made my husband and I feel so confident on our special day :)
Highly recommend her for your wedding!! I can't say enough about her ;)

I don't even know where to begin with how AMAZING Robin was for our special day. Robin is one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever met and she was a delight to work with. We met with her a couple of times before our wedding day and emailed each other even more. She has a great line of communication, is easy to get a hold of and is very flexible (which is nice since you'll be SUPER busy planning). When it comes to planning the ceremony Robin has an infinite amount of ideas that you can use but she does not limit your creativity if you have your own ideas. She can make the ceremony be what YOU want it to be... traditional, modern, unique... and it is always about you and your significant other. Almost every single one of our guests came up to us afterward and told us how personal the ceremony was and complimented the wonderful work Robin did! And we couldn't agree more, Robin hit it out of the park! :)

We had the pleasure of having Rev. Robin Renteria as our celebrant for our wedding at the State Club. Robin provided a wide range of ceremony options we could choose from and modify to exactly fit what we were after for our special day. Even though we were located on the West Coast, any questions we had were responded to promptly and professionally by Robin.
During the rehersal Robin was on the ball and concise in playing out exactly how our personal ceremony would go. At the end of the rehersal the wedding party were very clear on how the Big Day would play out.
On the Day itself, Robin was with us every step of the way. She provided great guidance and her calm demeanour meant we were always at ease with how things were progressing and what was happening next during the ceremony.
We had a great wedding and much of that had to do with how Robin helped us prepare and feel relaxed that everything was under control.
Thanks you so much for the best wedding day ever! We would gladly and highly recommend Rev. Robin Renteria based on our experience.

Robin was great. We really enjoyed working with her on creating our ceremony and then also with performing the ceremony. Robin is very professional and very friendly. Her experience in the field was extremely useful in helping us through an event that we had no experience in.

We had the best experience with Robin! She radiates warmth and a desire to help create a memorable wedding day - while she may have done this hundreds of times, she made us feel like we were unique and special! I would recommend her to anyone...she is a gem!

Robin was amazing to work with. Right from the start she was completely flexible, helpful, and willing to help us craft our ceremony the way we wanted it to be. During all of our planning straight through the day of the ceremony she was supportive; offering suggestions, keeping us calm, and above all else letting us enjoy the moment.

It was a pleasure to work with Robin. She helped us with many thoughtful premarital counseling sessions, and a wonderful ceremony. Her experience, creativity, and flexibility really shined through by helping to create our unique wedding ceremony - blending a Chinese wedding tea ceremony with western customs.

Her true willingness to help others made our counseling sessions so pleasant. We have been married for 5 months now and found lessons learned during these sessions to be invaluable.

We would highly recommend Robin to all our family and friends, anytime!

Robin was amazingly helpful and exceeded our expectations of what an officiant would provide. She's warm and genuine and made our wedding day very special. She helped with every aspect of planning the ceremony and had a wonderful calming effect on everyone on the big day. We'd highly recommend her to any couple.

If I could give more than five stars for flexibility, I would for Reverend Renteria. Our wedding was changed at the last minute thanks to a nasty crasher by the name of Hurricane Irene, moving it up to Friday night instead of Saturday afternoon. This meant changes not only for my family but for Rev. Renteria as well, which she worked through with grace and professionalism.

She walked us through the ceremony choices and vows options before we finally settled, again at the last minute, on writing our own vows. Ours were short, sentimental to us, yet delivered with gentle emotion bringing their true meaning into the forefront for everyone.

I wouldn't recommend changing your plans at the last minute, but if necessity makes such demands, know that Reverend Robin Renteria is going to do all that she possibly can to work with you, create a memorable moment for every newlywed couple, and bring a smile to your day regardless of circumstances dictating those changes.

Rev. Robin was WONDERFUL to work with! My husband and I created our entire ceremony with her based on her materials, and we loved the result. Many of our wedding guests also complimented us on the way she performed the ceremony and just her calming, spiritual presence as she led us through the various parts of our celebration. She was very easy to work with, was accessible even when she was away on vacation, and even handled my maid of honor's almost-fainting with poise and compassion and still kept the ceremony on-track. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with our wedding celebration and Reverend Robin as our officiant. She was really wonderful!

Rev. Robin Renteria was incredible to work with. She made us feel comfortable from our first meeting and presented new ideas to our ceremony that incorporate every aspect we wanted. She always was quick to respond and was willing to make any necessary changes. When it came time for the big day, she was prepared, on time and excited to play such a big part of our day. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I highly recommend Robin.

The ceremony Robin performed was beautiful. Received many glowing comments from guests at the wedding. We are very happy that Robin officiated at our wedding.

We really felt great about Robin officiating our wedding. She is such a professional and easy to deal with. The service we received was more than we expected, true exceptional. We would definitely recommend her.

Two weeks ago, my girlfriend and partner of several years celebrated our love for and commitment to each other in a non-religious, non-legally-recognized commitment ceremony of which Robin was the officiant. We really could not have been happier with her, or with the ceremony she presided over. As a nominally "straight" couple who nevertheless feel that traditional marriage and the attendant legal ramifications are not what we're looking for, we wanted to make sure we found an officiant who was comfortable working outside of the paradigm of marriage, while still imparting a sense of momentousness and ritual importance to our ceremony. From our first meeting (on Gchat!), Robin impressed us with her sensitivity to our unique requests - she immediately reflected back the language in which we choose to express our love, and she was full of ideas and suggestions for how to deepen the symbolism of our ceremony.

As we finalized the script for our ceremony, Robin was able to bring to bear her years of experience with weddings and other ceremonies to suggest ways in which to streamline our event, or to offer us a possible interpretation for a line or segment that we were unsure of. She was a treasure trove of inspiration, and yet thoroughly un-possessive about her language and what she wrote for us - totally open to making the changes we requested, or collaborating on new wordings. Robin listened to my partner and I ramble, often contradictorily, about what we enjoyed about one another, and what we envisioned for our ceremony. Then she helped us to focus those thoughts, to whittle them down into a tight cohesive statement of our love. In rehearsal, Robin urged us to walk through each of the “beats” of our ceremony, while saving the words themselves for the day-of. She could not have been more right - when finally hearing words of the ceremony, words that we spent two months workshopping together, I really felt we had encapsulated what makes our relationship special. It felt amazing, and we got many, many compliments from our guests on the earnestness and individuality of our ceremony. I feel it was Robin who set that tone and made it possible for us to publicly express our love so well.

Choosing a stranger to speak of your most intimate feelings I was sure would be one of my greatest challenges....however, The minute we met Robin we knew she was the one:) calmness and reassurance surrounds her. When I think (and look) back to the memory of my wedding day she was.....perfect. Thank you Robin from the bottom of my heart, love The Grays!!!

Robin Renteria did a an excellent job as the officiant of my wedding. She worked with us to create a ceremony which was special and meaningful. She was prompt and patient. She also has a wonderful speaking style. I highly recommend Robin.

Robin was the the best! Her ceremony that she put together was beautiful! She was willing to work with us every step of the way! She incorporated everything that was important to us! She kept a consistent and open dialogue with us up until the very last minute right before the ceremony.

Everyone at our wedding told us that our ceremony was the most beautiful they had ever heard. One person told us that it made them believe in God again and another told us that the ceremony rejuvenated his spirit.

We had met with a few ministers before and none of them clicked with us the way that Robin did. She truly knows the meaning of marriage and love and carries that message through out the entire ceremony. We are in interfaith family and it was difficult for us to find a minister who could truly appreciate that and see from her heart where we were coming from. She did that and more. She worked with us to build a ceremony that addressed all types of spirituality and through that she brought every one of our guests together.

I had told Robin many years ago that if I ever got married again, she was going to do the ceremony. When the time actually came, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Robin's checklists, script, and planning tools make sure that nothing is overlooked while offering couples options, both traditional and innovative. This was especially appreciated in our case, because we were blending families of VERY different configurations! :-)

Robin excels at gently taking charge, guiding people to where they need to be, acting as a point person for nervous couples and loved ones alike, and negotiating tricky familial politics. She makes it possible for a couple to have a private space for their bonding even in the midst of a crowd. It was a truly special, personal service, and many people told me afterwards that it was the best ceremony they had ever witnessed.

I can't recommend her services highly enough.

Robin was able to make a very important and overwhelming aspect to any wedding painless and very easy, the words spoken at the ceremony. She breaks it down for you and guides you with knowledge and experience. She takes the worry out of the planning process by always being available. She is extremely professional from the planning to the rehearsal to the ceremony itself, she is a great resource on your wedding day! Thank You Robin!!

Robin is FABULOUS! She responded to all of our emails the same day (and we had a lot!), and she was super helpful answering questions from ceremony order to how to handle overly dramatic grandmothers. We felt completely comfortable with Robin, and we loved how she guided us in writing our ceremony but really let us do as little or as much as we wanted. Her e-book of readings had tons of different ceremony styles and prayers and orders, and she had very thorough forms and schedules for us to fill out (which no doubt helped our day go as smoothly as it did)! We highly recommend having Robin conduct your rehearsal too! We had a huge wedding party, but she had total control and we left the rehearsal feeling totally confident about the next day. She didn't mind taking questions from anyone. And our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Many of our guests have commented on how much they liked her and how great and intimate our ceremony was. Robin really makes sure that the ceremony is about the two of you, and we were able to completely block out everyone else. We REALLY enjoyed working with Robin over the last year, and we believe that we made a lifelong friend, as well as spiritual guide, in Robin. Thank you, Robin!!!

Robin gave us a wonderful ceremony and was incredibly easy to work with over the preceding months. Every time we emailed her with a question or to make changes to the service (which we usually did in the evening), she got back to us by the very next morning. Scheduling a rehearsal the day before was very easy, and she arrived early for both that and the ceremony. The bride's and groom's families are from very different cultures, and Robin helped us design a ceremony that would be inclusive of both cultures. From talking to both sets of families afterwards, it's clear that everyone was very satisfied with the ceremony and found Robin to be very warm and professional. We would highly recommend her to anyone in the Triangle area.

Robin was the perfect officiant for us. When we first met with Robin we knew we wanted her to be a part of our day because of how kind, respectful, and helpful she was. When you are around her you feel happy because of how happy and positive her outlook on life is. When we started creating our ceremony, we were so thankful she was there. We gave her our ideas and she gave us some. Robin created our ceremony and sent us a draft within 24 hours of meeting with her. We made several adjustments along the way but each time we did so she was so prompt with her responses and with her help in guiding us along the way. At the rehearsal Robin was wonderful! She told the entire wedding party and ourselves that we just needed to soak it in. The hints that she gave us and our wedding party really made the difference in our day (we remember each part of our ceremony). At the wedding our wedding planner did not show up so Robin and our DJ (Lenny Fritts) stepped in to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. Robin made our ceremony wonderful and we got so many compliments about how personal and meaningful our ceremony was. Robin is truly a kind spirit and a true professional. We almost went with a different wedding planner but I am SO thankful we did not because I would not have wanted anyone else to marry us. Thank you Robin for helping to make our day so special!

Robin is absolutely wonderful! She helped us pull both of our religions into our ceremony in a very spiritual way. I would recommend Robin to anyone who is planning an "multiple faith" wedding! Without a doubt!!!

Robin was an absolute joy to work with. We had an initial face to face meeting and everything else was done through email. The ceremony was flawless. She is very friendly and let's you have the ceremony you want. She answered all my questions promptly and provided suggestions. We were so pleased with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

Robin was extremely flexible and a pleasure to work with. The rehearsal and wedding went to smoothly due in a large part to her presence and instruction. I would highly recommend any bride interested in creating a unique and special ceremony contact Robin.

We cannot say enough about the fact that our wedding was more special that it could have been because Robin officiated. We were originally looking for someone to work with us for a backyard/non-denominational wedding. Although,we wished to include Native American traditions from my (bride) heritage. But we wanted to find someone with whom we felt a connection and that could make the process an easy one (which wedding rarely are). After interviewing 3 other officiants and then speaking with Robin, there was no question, SHE WAS OUR PERFECT FIT for this service. We needed someone to help us through the process of the legalities, but to have a flexible style to help us determine what we truly wanted to get out of this wedding ceremony. ROBIN WAS EXCEPTIONAL at this and more. From helping with the specifics of the service, to determining what family might do to be included to making the guests feel a part of the process during the service, it was, for lack of another word, PERFECT. It wll be a memory we cherish forever and it is largely because of Robin's compassion and guidance in the process. We would recommend her to anyone that wishes to have a positive experience in the wedding process.

Very helpful and willing to adjust for couples personal needs. Made us feel less stressed.

Robin deserves 10 out of 5 stars! She was a joy to work with. We did everything through email and it was a flawless ceremony. Robin is quick, prompt, and thorough in her responses and extremely flexible. Robin let us have the ceremony we wanted by copy and pasting some of her scripts, as well as adding in some stuff of our own. She was very respectful of our avoidance of any kind of religious preferences and handled my father's Catholic traditionalism with my... lack of traditionalism. I would recommend Robin to every couple looking for an officiant!

Robin was extremely helpful. With her expertise and experience, we were able to easily design our wedding ceremony and make it meaningful for us. Despite my many questions, she was always quick to respond with helpful suggestions. She was also calm and organized on our rehearsal and wedding days, keeping everyone relaxed and enabling our ceremony to run perfectly smoothly. I would highly recommend Robin to anyone searching for an officiant.

Robin was a joy to work with. She is warm, friendly and put us at ease. Her skill and experience were priceless in helping us to put together a beautiful ceremony. It would have been MUCH more difficult and time consuming to come up with a ceremony script on our own with out her vast collection of resources and helpful suggestions.

I worked with Robin twice last year. She was absolutely fantastic! Not only does she add to the joy of every wedding. She is genuine and kind. She delivers her services beautifully and artfully. She is wonderful to work with and is just a good person. I recommend her to all my clients and cannot wait to work with her again!

Robin was the officiant at an intimate, at home wedding that I photographed. She has such a joyful presence and brings a great energy to the ceremony. She creates a personalized experience for each couple. I would highly recommend her for weddings large and small.

Thank you! It was a pleasure working with you.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Robin at several wedding professional gatherings and she is such a delight to talk to. She will make each ceremony as unique as the people who are in it & I truly look forward to working with her in the future.

I feel that brides and grooms will be very pleased with her...

Rev. Robin Renteria is an absolute joy to work with. She truly believes that all people should be happy and that their love should be celebrated and brings that belief and joy with her to each couple she marries. I had the unexpected pleasure of sharing a wedding with Rev. Renteria on December 31, 2011. In choosing the Rev. Renteria I know that the couple found the person who could best help them express their love on their special day. I highly recommend Rev. Renteria.

We’ve had the opportunity to know Rev. Robin Renteria through regular professional wedding association events as well as serving mutual clients together and we endorse her as one of our preferred professionals.

All of my clients have been beyond happy with her. I see the relationships she builds in this community and could imagine no one with a sweeter spirit than hers to be a part of your big day.

What a great minister to pronounce you "man and wife". Robin does a wonderful job and is so pleasant to work with. You need to call her if you do not have someone to perform your ceremony.

Reverend Robin Renteria is an exceptional spiritual guide through the beginning to the completion of your wedding vows. She delivers an enlightening, bonding ceremony which starts your union off very well. True professional with compassion!

Reverend Renteria is definitely one of our favorite officiants to work with! Her cheerful disposition and attitude always make for a pleasant planning experience and the thing I like the most about her ceremonies is how hard she works to make each ceremony personal and unique to the couple. She asks questions about how the couple met and what they like to do together and finds ways to include these personal tidbits in their ceremony- making for a unique and special experience for each couple. I also love that she takes the time to write out the actual wording of the ceremony for the couple to see ahead of time- this enables them to really personalize and customize the wording to fit their vision for the wedding. She is completely professional and just an utter joy. Hire her immediately!

Robin does lovely ceremonies and we are always happy to see her at ceremonies that we DJ throughout North Carolina. She is definitely recommended!

Robin is amazing and I love when she is performing a ceremony!

Robin is truly a delight!

Reverend Robin Renteria and I are good friends and colleagues. She is an upbeat and positive person with a genuine joyful outlook on life. I happily refer couples to her that I cannot accommodate and know that she will take good care of them and give them a wonderful wedding ceremony filled with warmth and grace because she is such a generous and caring person. Robin, Barbara Lodge and I get together often to share new ideas and stories and call on each other if we have a problem or need something. I heartily recommend Robin if you need an officiant for your wedding!

Rev. Robin Renteria is a wonderful friend and colleague with a gentle soul and a tactful manner whose understanding of people and situations I highly respect. Whenever I cannot accommodate a wedding couple’s wedding date and time, Robin is one of the ministers I always recommend, knowing she can be depended on to provide a loving and caring service, based on what is most important to the couple.

I have worked with Robin on several weddings. She is a joyful person and really knows how to make your wedding ceremony personal, special and unique! I look forward to working with her again soon!

I used Robin for a wedding at The Doubletree Guest Suites in Durham, NC in 2009. She was great to work with and the couple really appreciated how she made them fill very special. Check out her website, and learn more about her, but wait until you meet her in person. She is great!

I fully endorse Robin Renteria for her ministering style and for her ability to impart her bride's and groom's personalities into her services.

Rev. Robin has the sweetest smile.. so genuine! On one occasion of working with her, I was touched when she moved toward a very choked-up speaker to lend moral support so they might get through their reading. You can tell she truly cares for the couples she works for.
