Occasion Time

What happens next .....

You and Rev. Robin Renteria will talk on the phone or communicate by email so that you can know that you want her as your wedding minister or officiant. (She has a webcam if you want to converse on Google chat.) For many couples, email or phone is enough. Other couples like a personal interview. If you're sure your want her as your wedding minister at the end of that meeting, the conversation can become a more in depth discussion about your vision for your ceremony.

Rev. Robin Renteria provides you with information about how she works with couples and her fees. There are many questions to be answered to know exactly what she can offer you. Her services are competitive with other North Carolina Triangle and Triad professional wedding ministers and wedding officiants. You'll find more information about how she determines her fees on her Rev. Robin Renteria Fees and Services page.

She considers a date yours only when she has a contract and deposit from you. Until that time, she continues to meet with other couples interested for that date and time. When possible, she lets couples know if others want the same date and time, but sometimes a couple wants to contract with her immediately and she honors that request.

When you decide you want her as your wedding minister, you complete a contract with her and you pay a $50. deposit to secure your date. The deposit applies to the total cost. She asks for full payment within 10 days because once she gives you a date and time, she turns away other couples. However, because she understands that many couples are budgeting carefully, she will create an extended payment plan with you if you wish. After the contract and deposit is in place she begins to create your ceremony with you. You have complete creative control and final approval over everything about your ceremony. You see the full ceremony script in advance.

During this same time Rev. Robin Renteria also plans with you all the formalities you want for your ceremony. Her comprehensive Rehearsal Form helps you make all the decisions about wedding details so that, whether she guides the rehearsal or not, all will go smoothly.

About a month before your wedding she sees what decisions still need to be made and contacts you. By the beginning of the week of your ceremony only final details, if any, are undecided, and everything is written down on the script you share, so nothing is ambiguous.

During this whole time it's her joy to be a calm, flexible, knowledgeable resource for you so that you can let go of worries and enjoy this wonderful time in your life.

If for any reason she can’t honor the contract, (this hasn’t happened yet in sixteen years!)

she'll find an officiant for you, bring them up to speed, and arrange payment for them from the fee you've paid her. She has a large group of colleagues who respond this way for each other.

Rev. Robin Renteria considers this the beginning of a great conversation.
