The promise

A wedding ceremony so personal, it could only ever be yours.

  1. It begins with a conversation.

    Before I write a single line, we talk. I skip the checklist and ask the questions that actually matter: how you argue, what you would never change, the moment you knew. Your ceremony is built from those answers.

  2. No two are ever alike.

    Yours is written from scratch, in your words, for the people in that exact room. Across hundreds of ceremonies I have never reached for a template or repeated myself, because no two couples have ever needed the same thing.

  3. Officiant and coordinator, in one.

    I arrive early, settle the nervous uncle, and hold the timing so nothing feels rushed. You stay present for the twenty minutes that matter while I quietly run the rest of the day around you.

In their words, not mine.

  1. We felt like we were talking to a friend, and she made our ceremony one to remember.

  2. She isn't just an officiant. She honestly cares and gives her all on your special day.

  3. We feel as though we've gained a friend, and the ceremony was really special and beautiful.

    Gina + Matt Tim McLoone's Supper Club, Asbury Park NJ Wedding ceremony

From the desk

Hi, I'm Robyn.

I came to New York from Jamaica in my twenties and found my way into officiating when my best friend asked me to marry them. I said yes, wrote the ceremony in two weeks, and cried more than anyone in the room. That was the first one.

Since then the work has taken me from Bow Bridge to a rooftop in Bushwick to a living room in Astoria with seven people and a rescue dog standing in as ring bearer. I have been on the Tamron Hall Show, featured in Brides and The Knot, and I still tear up at almost every ceremony. That part has not changed.

How to write wedding vows (even if you're not a writer)

Specifics over symbols. The line your partner will mouth back to you in twenty years.

  1. Locations

    The Central Park ceremony spots I send couples to

    A working list, with the trade-offs you only learn after officiating there.
  2. Day-of

    The ceremony mistakes I see most often

    The small disasters guests never notice, and the few worth preventing.
  3. Rituals

    The unity rituals that actually move a room

    Ranked by what they feel like in person, not how they photograph.
  4. Family

    Bringing kids and parents into the ceremony, without it dragging

    The two-minute test that decides whether a family moment lands or just adds time.
Common questions

What couples ask before booking.

  • How far in advance should we book?

    Most couples book six to twelve months out. I take a limited number of dates per month so every couple gets full attention, which means popular Saturdays in June, September, and October go quickly. If your date is within three months, reach out anyway.

  • Will you customize the ceremony for our culture or family traditions?

    Yes. Jumping the Broom, Hindu pheras, Persian sofreh aghd, Catholic-meets-secular, blended families with stepkids reading vows. We talk through what is meaningful to you and write it in. The ceremony is a reflection of who you actually are.

  • What if we are not religious?

    Many couples are not. The ceremony will sound like you, with whatever amount of spirit, ritual, or no ritual feels right. There is no default setting. Everything on the page starts from your conversation.

  • Can we read your script before the day?

    Yes. You read every word, suggest changes, and we revise until it is right. Nothing surprises you on the day except how it lands.

Tell me about your day.

I'll write back the same week.
