'Dear Robin,  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for officiating at our wedding.  As well it should be the ceremony was the highlight of the entire weekend - but we were awestruck by just how incredible it was. The text that you helped us to create was beautiful, and your smile throughout the ceremony was a source of comfort for us both.  Beyond the ceremony, though, your contributions were ever more incredible.  You guided us through balancing family traditions (several different ones!) with our own beliefs, and supported us as we tried to make a ceremony that was accessible, respectful and US.  You have such enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, and love of what you do!  You touched us deeply and we are so very grateful of all the ways in which you contributed to our marriage.'  ~ With love and gratitude, Corrie and David.

Rev. Robin Renteria has published her wonderful book 
of wedding ceremony planning

'Working with Robin was such a blessing! Looking back on our wedding, the actual ceremony was our favorite part of the whole day. With Robin's help (and her 150+ page wedding ceremony book!), we were able to personalize each detail of our ceremony - from the readings we chose, to having all our family and friends pronounce us husband and wife. Thanks so much Robin - we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day!'  ~ Rebecca & Tom
