We booked Robert Bishop to officiate our wedding this past August. Our communication leading up to the wedding had been normal and we had spoken to him the week leading up and he g...
ave no indication that he wouldn't be the one physically officiating our wedding. Thirty minutes before our ceremony, someone we had never met from his group shows up to officiate. Aaron was very nice and ultimately did a nice job, however, the professionalism from Robert and lack of communication was incredibly disappointing on one of the most important days and one of the most important moments of the whole day. Having to introduce yourself and say your name while standing at the end of the aisle takes away a bit from the moment and defeated the purpose of booking someone so far in advance. He was affordable, but if you book him, just be prepared that he may send a last minute stand-in.
EDIT** Since posting my honest review, the vendor has contacted me via social media again and this time called me miserable due to his shortcomings on my wedding day. Disgusting, u...
nprofessional and downright disrespectful.
I desperately wanted to write a positive review but I experienced several BIG issues on my wedding day.
First, the officiant who showed up, wasn't even the person who I spoke with and booked. I was not notified of the change either. Second, my father was taking care of the payment for the officiant and provided a check for payment. During the course of my reception I was bombarded with emails, texts, comments on my Facebook page & private Facebook message requests from the officiant, who was supposed to be at my wedding, requesting cash or Zelle payment. This was totally unprofessional and inappropriate. The officiant did not know to step out of the way for my first kiss photo at the altar so he is in the background as well. When I reached out a few months later when the dust settled from the day the owner was less than apologetic. He made several excuses for the tasteless and unprofessional behavior saying he has all 5-Star reviews (not anymore), how he doesn't remember what happened with my wedding because he has been in and out of crisis (even though he was trying to reach me on all platforms on my wedding day) and how it must have been dual communication (I have all of our communications, it was not). I can not recommend this vendor. I'm sorry.

ing, spoke clearly & eloquently, and was very professional. I was super nervous but Robert guided me through our vows with the most soothing voice. He was wonderful, kept the ceremony short & sweet, and my guests absolutely loved him. Thanks a million Robert, we cannot say thank you enough!

Bishop Bolton incorporated our handwritten vows into his ceremony and it flowed beautifully. I only wish I had recorded the ceremony, because his words were lovely and thoughtful.
