Meet Robert Marshall
Hi, I'm Robert.
As an ordained minister, speaker, and storyteller, I believe every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that reflects the depth of their love and the excitement of their future together.
I've spent years helping people celebrate life's most meaningful moments, and I bring that same care, professionalism, and heart to every wedding I officiate.
My goal isn't simply to perform your ceremony—it's to create an experience that feels personal, joyful, and unforgettable for you and every guest in attendance.
Because the best ceremonies don't just unite two people.
They remind everyone in the room why love is worth celebrating.
A beautiful ceremony for couples who want something simple, elegant, and meaningful.

Once you're booked, I'll begin writing a personalized ceremony designed specifically for you.

FAQs
How far in advance should we book?
1
Most couples book 6–12 months in advance, but last-minute availability may be possible.
Can we write our own vows?
2
Absolutely! I'll even help you write them if you'd like.
Do you perform religious and non-religious ceremonies?
3
Yes. Every ceremony is customized to reflect your beliefs, values, and preferences.
Do you travel?
4

What is required to reserve our wedding date?
5
A signed Wedding Officiant Agreement and a non-refundable retainer are required to secure your wedding date. Until both are received, your date remains available for booking by other couples. If your wedding needs to be rescheduled, I'll gladly work with you to transfer your booking to a new available date whenever possible. If cancellation becomes necessary, the non-refundable retainer will be retained, but any additional payments will be handled according to the terms outlined in your agreement.
