Judge Rob who should otherwise be known as "Ex Judge in NY and Robs people of money." AFTER READING 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!
Working with Judge Rob was a treat! He communicated with us from start to finish sharing his wealth of knowledge from a repertoire of more than 1000+ weddings that he has done all over. His tips were extremely insightful and helped us out a lot when it came to having a destination wedding! He is very thorough and wont spare any detail, I mean he covers every base. On wedding day, he is a true crowd pleaser and engages with the group and keeps them laughing! If you’re in need of wedding song ideas, he’s got plenty song suggestions, even some he’s written himself! Thanks for everything Judge Rob! You were amazing!

We last minute decided we wanted to get married while we were on vacation. Judge Rob was extremely easy to talk with and affordable. Meeting up with him this morning for our little elopement ceremony we were greeted like royalty. Him and his friend had everything down to a science poses for pictures, spots for pictures, you could tell they have done this many times. He even had a wonderful breakfast recommendation for us right after leaving. 10/10 recommend. Wouldn’t change what we did for the world. Thank you judge Rob for making our day so special!
Judge Rob changed his plans at the last minute to accommodate us with no qualms. He went out of his way to do extra for us while insisting he wanted us to be happy and we certainly are! Thanks again!!
Judge Rob was great and even accommodated us postponing our wedding a whole year. He arrived to the ceremony early and made sure we got some amazing photos! He also involved our guests in the ceremony and kept us smiling the whole time.
Judge Rob was punctual, nice and easy to work with. Our ceremony was great! Thanks, Rob!

Very kind and helpful, punctual and always ready to take some nice selfies!! Responds fast and offered also some useful information about the paperwork that really helped us!! Thank you very much Rob!! This wedding was unforgettable ❤️
Judge Rob was terrific! He came to our home and married the two of us with no fuss, no muss and joy
He was also an excellent photographer and we have many great shots that he took.
Just the way we wanted to be hitched!

Rob was great! Our ceremony went fast. He was fast, funny, and straight to the point. We were very happy with our ceremony.
We couldn't have a better person to marry us! Rob was amazing, on time and looking great :) best memories ever ❤
Rob was great. He was professional and prompt. He made the whole ceremony special with little ad libs along the way that made the groom (that's me) a little less nervous. The timing, the location, the weather--- and everything about it was perfect!! I would recommend Judge Robby to anyone who wants a beach style wedding. He certainly was a big part in a very memorable day for me and my wife!
Thank you very much.
Rob is the embodiment of professionalism, yet so very accommodating and kind. We had asked him for a sort of last minute ceremony and we weren’t quite sure what we wanted. He helped us to make a final decision, booked us at a time that was convenient for us, and came to us. He even arrived early which allowed us to stress less about our time. He’s there for his couples as more than just an officiant. He’s a marriage expert and deserves his #1 spot in the whole south Florida area.
Judge Rob will go above and beyond for his service! USPS lost our marriage license and we had to get a duplicate. He gladly did it for no charge upon our request. He is amazing !
Judge Rob was perfect, because of the COVID-19 issues, we had to move our ceremony up and change the geographic location, we needed someone to step in and help us. Judge Rob did the job, I can't imagine how our weeding could have been better. Thank you Judge Rob, and his video tech did an amazing job as well, i wish I could give them both six stars!!
Seriously, stop looking for other officiants and book Judge Rob!! He recently officiated my wedding and I couldn’t be anymore happy with how he did. I wanted something short and sweet and that’s exactly what he did. He’s so great to work with and stayed in contact on the week of the wedding to make sure I had everything! And the best part, he’s reasonably priced!! I promise you won’t regret booking Rob. Thank you again so much for officiating our wedding! :)
Rob was so great to work with! From the very beginning, he was beyond helpful in working out the details of our ceremony. He had a lot of great advice on what does and does work well and even convinced my fiance that we should write our own vows. They ended up being the highlight of our ceremony! On the day of the ceremony, he arrived early to confirm details with our readers and bridal party. He greeted our guests and included them in the ceremony. He made sure to get us lots of great photographs during the ceremony and made sure everything went smoothly. He really listened to what we wanted and gave us the perfect ceremony. Our guests were so impressed!
Judge Rob made our experience special. We could not have asked for a better officiant! Also, his knowledge of the area makes him an excellent guide. Thank you Judge Rob!
We had a great time working with Judge Rob. While a rehearsal is not necessary for a small wedding we were glad we had one. It gave us a chance to meet Rob in advance, and further tweek the ceremony to our style based on the location set up. Rob was fun, on time and professional! Highly recommended!!
I’m so incredibly disappointed with Rob. I felt like he was an MC during my ceremony to start with. He completely forgot to include the sand ceremony even though it was sitting there on a table. He must have forgot our last name so he introduced us after the big kiss with just our first names. Then he completely forgot to sign our marriage certificate causing so many headaches and having to track him down to sign it. Then to top it off I was told by many of my guests he was walking around asking them to review him on yelp if they felt he did a good job. Extremely inappropriate, and embarrassing my guests came to me with that. The only thing he did right was refund me all my money.
Thank you so much for everything!! We were honored to have you officiate our big day and making everything special!!
Rob was such a pleasure to work with and we are so happy we hired him to perform our ceremony! He was very responsive and offered ideas and suggestions to make our ceremony amazing. We wanted a simple ceremony that still felt meaningful and Rob definitely delivered! Our ceremony was fun, warm, and heartfelt and my guests were raving about Rob! He had amazing energy and helped us feel calm even when it started to rain. Rob treats you and your guests like you're old friends who have known each other forever and we couldn't have asked for a better ceremony!
I highly recommend rob!!! My partner and I are not very traditional and/or religious, and we wanted a genuine ceremony that could make everyone laugh & cry at the same time. Rob MASTERED doing that for us! Our guests were so impressed with how beautiful yet lively our ceremony was, and couldn’t stop saying how great Rob was. He is a very passionate, caring & intelligent officiant who also knows how to have a good time. He can do it all, but he blew ours out of the water!!!! So great.
Awesome! Jude Rob was extremely creative and understands the vision of the couple. He helped us capture the modern vows and kept the guests smiling, crying, & laughing throughout the entire ceremony with his great energy. He made us feel like family he was so warm and welcoming. He had great and fast communication from the moment we inquired all the way to the wedding day. He was extremely professional and I would highly recommend Judge Rob to everyone!
Judge Rob was amazing. We hired him to officiate and MC our wedding since we didn't have a DJ. In the planning conversations leading up to the wedding, he was a wealth of knowledge with great pointers and suggestions that we didn't even think of. His style of officiating was a perfect mix of fun and serious / romantic. During the reception, he helped move everything along perfectly, and he was great at getting people up and moving / dancing that otherwise would've stayed seated. He was the perfect mix of being the life of the party while being behind the scenes. He knows how to read the crowd and adjust what he needs to do to accommodate it. I would recommend him to anyone getting married within his travel radius. He could've charged more and still would've been more than worth it.
Judge Rob was very professional, on time and a lot of fun. He put the couple at ease and delivered a flawless ceremony. Would definitely recommend!
Judge Rob made our day extra special and fun. Great attention to detail, really listens and guides from experience. Able to be flexible and take the lead where needed. Managed the flow and guests very well even during a challenging weather situation at our beachfront wedding. MC’d our reception adding not only sentiment but fun and humor. Able to personalize to our vision. Also even made sure the photographer got certain pictures we loved. We would definitely recommend Judge Rob to others for their special day. Professional and personable.
Thank you for sharing all of your experience and helping us make our wedding day perfect! Judge Rob did an amazing job and made our ceremony perfect. This was both of our first marriages and Judge Rob was very helpful with the whole process. Thank you!
Responded well with phone calls and e-mails, helped with staging, guided us through all aspects for a simply wonderful beach wedding there in Fort Lauderdale.
We couldent have been more pleased with his knowledge, experience and professionalism.
Highly recommend!
Judge Rob was absolutely amazing. He was there months back to answer all of my questions and concerns and when the week of our wedding came, he called us a few days early to go over the whole ceremony. On the day of our wedding he showed up early and ready to go. We started a little later than we wanted to but Judge Rob was standing up in front of everyone and entertaining them until I walked down the aisle. He gave a beautiful and effortless ceremony. Everyone gave us tons of compliments and I would just like to tell anyone who is looking for an officiant that you should definitely choose Judge Rob! He will deliver!
Judge Rob was such a pleasure to have at our wedding. Everyone was in love with him and he made our ceremony personable, funny and special just for us. My friend is already planning her wedding around him!!! Such a pleasure to work with, prompt, responds quickly and really takes time to make your day memorable. Will highly highly recommend.
Judge Rob is the best! I had so much fun in working with him. He is a very reliable Officiant and is also prompt to satisfy his client's needs.
Rob was simply the best for our event! He was on time, super friendly and nice with the guests, he knew what to do from A to Z! We liked his work so much!
Thank you Rob!
Judge Rob is by far the best wedding officiant I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He not only creates an amazing atmosphere for the bride and groom, but his service is much more of an experience for not only the couple but for every single guest as well. He is flexible, professional, extremely nice and an absolute pleasure to work with. We recommend nobody other than Rob, he is the absolute best!
Awesome and Fun.... Greeted every guest we had and made them feel included - Certainly made the day easy and was early too! I would give 6 Stars to Judge Rob - We love Judge Rob
