Rev. Robin Renteria. M.Div.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
