I write a lot of songs on love and marriage. I very much enjoy helping with the whole process as well as meeting all the families. I love learning about ceremonies, traditions and ideas from various cultures. My favorite part of the process is helping the bride and sometimes the groom to feel relaxed about my part of the day while they have so many things to worry about. I arrive early and put them at ease that the officiant is there. I help to make it lovely. Also doing funerals - help officiate the ceremony or memorial service at funeral home, gravesite and reception to follow

Judge Rob is a fantastic officiant and I couldn’t recommend him more!! He really helped make our wedding an unforgettable experience from start to finish.. He was extremely professional and punctual, and he knew exactly what he was doing. He struck the perfect balance of seriousness and fun! He knew how to help us loosen up and feel more relaxed during our big moment. Overall, Judge Rob is the man and you will not regret hiring him as an officiant for your wedding! Great work *****

Judge Rob was very professional, yet, he helped us feel relaxed. He was very accommodating. We chose to be married on the beach, and he had no problem meeting our needs and wants. I highly recommend him as your wedding officiant.

I was in middle of needing a powe of attorney notarized. Rob came quickly on a Sunday. He was very patient, empthetic and caring during a very stressful situation. Highly recommend him

Thanks Andrei, I am glad I was available and able to be there for you in such a time. Best Wishes, Rob
