Judge Rob who should otherwise be known as "Ex Judge in NY and Robs people of money." AFTER…read moreREADING THIS YOU WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY TO USE "JUDGE ROB'S" SERVICES! Nobody reading this review should ever decide to use his services. It is too risky to use such a dishonest and dishonorable person in which everything relies on him for the success of your wedding day. He is absolutely disgusting. He behaved like a biligerant ass towards us and cost us thousands of lost dollars, relying on someone who is so disrespectful, dishonest, deceitful, cunning, and obnoxious. My wife and I were planning a wedding in middle June 2023. We had friends and relatives fly into Florida for the ceremony and reception. "Judge Rob" was hired to officiate the ceremony. My fiance, at the time, had an argument with me just prior to the ceremony and she overreacted by sending a text message that the wedding would be canceled. When I found out in about 30-40 minutes later, I spoke to her and we resolved things and I contacted Judge Rob and told him the wedding was still on. "Judge Rob" responded by saying, "sorry I have other plans". We sent him $185 as a deposit and the entire day surrounded around him officiating the wedding. We had tremendous costs by not having him officiate the wedding that Saturday at 11am. When I then asked him if he could officiate on Sunday morning instead, his biligerant response was, "No, I don't think we are a good fit." Yet, he was willing to keep the $185 that we had sent him as the deposit. HE REFUSED TO MARRY US! We could not find someone as a replacement to officiate the wedding on such short notice. The wedding did not occur that weekend. Not only did we lose the $185 that we sent "Judge Rob", but we lost money in the catering hall, the cake baker, the florist, a photographer, and all travel plans for our invitees from out of town. It was a tremendous expense for us for "Judge Rob" to not hold up his end of the bargain which was secured by the $185 deposit. I contacted "Judge Rob" a few times to be reimbursed the $185. He absolutely declined to reimburse us and told me that my one kindly worded call was not welcome and I should only repond through email. I did repond through email and he ignored all emails. We are now looking to pursue a multi thousand dollar wedding expense lawsuit against the very dishonorable, "Judge Rob". DO NOT RELY ON SOMEONE LIKE JUDGE ROB TO DESTROY YOUR WEDDING DAY LIKE HE DID FOR US!! AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE YOU WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY CRAZY TO USE "JUDGE ROB'S" SERVICES!

Communication was seamless with her, and she was always prompt in her responses. Working with her was an absolute delight, and we are so grateful for her contribution to our special day.

All I can say, is if you want a smaller intimate ceremony, absolutely stunningly beautiful photos and a relaxed experience where you can enjoy each other and your guests... THIS is the way to go.

They offered to play our music, but when we didn't have any, they played their own and matched the genre we requested. They also assisted in helping us get some great photo shots.

Bringing two people, two families, two values, and two religions together in a ceremony can be…read moretricky, but Rabbi Bernstein handled it beautifully. My husband and I grew up in different religions, he is Lutheran, and I am Jewish. Early on I made it clear that I wanted a Jewish family, so when we got engaged it only made sense to find a Rabbi who would work for both of us, and start our Jewish home and life off on the right foot. Rabbi Bernstein listened to our needs as a couple, planned the Jewish ceremony that we wanted, which explained all of the traditions to our non-Jewish guests, and everyone was blown away at how beautiful of a ceremony it was. Leading up to the ceremony we participated in Rabbi Bernsteins, "ROADMAP" premarital counseling, this was amazing and brought each of us to think about what we want to bring to our marriage and the responsibilities we have for one another. Sharing these with each other was truly a special moment. Everything from our initial conversation to the excited photo we took after our ceremony with our marriage license, Rabbi Bernstien made this the easiest and most enjoyable process, where we truly got to focus on our love, and she handled all of the other ceremony details. There are a lot of Rabbi's out there, but with Rabbi Bernstein you can't go wrong.
