About this vendor
My name is Robyn Walker and I am a wedding officiant for couples all over NYC, NJ, and CT. The best part about my job is that it allows me to be part of such a happy day for so many couples from various backgrounds!
Some say that love is the best thing in the whole world - and when it comes to weddings, that may just be true. You can't really put into words what kind of happiness someone's getting married provides. In my experience performing ceremonies, I have seen every type of couple come through my door. I'm an expert at personalizing every ceremony and can execute anything from a small intimate service for 2 to grand weddings with 100+ people. I also perform same-day elopements, vow renewals & commitment ceremonies.
With zero judgment and an open heart, I will work with you on designing just what you're looking for in a ceremony that reflects your values and relationship.
If you want to know more about my services please send me a message or give me a call!

worked with her to structure it making our desired vision come to life. On the day, she even helped to fill the gaps with crucial prep tasks.
She is a true professional and you will not regret her services. Highly recommend!
If you are looking for an officiant that is outstanding, progressional, kind and welcoming…Robyn is the ONE!
From day one speaking with Robyn over zoom about our vision for our c...
eremony, you could see and hear how much she truly cared about understanding what we wanted and making our day something special. Robyn was available for every question we had and took the time to get to know us as a couple and as individuals to make our ceremony unique. The day of the ceremony Robyn arrived early and checked in on us to make sure everything was going smoothly. The ceremony was done so beautifully and she made two people who are normally shy in front of crowds, feel comfortable.
Thank you again Robyn for all that you have done. We truly appreciate you 🤍
"Robyn oh how we love thee, let us count the ways!" Robyn is an OUTSTANDING officiant. Her professionalism, integrity and overall ethic, and ability to improvise/adapt to sudden ch...
ange are to be commended. She has played a pivotal role in our planning process from our 1st consultation to the rehearsal all the way up to our "I do's." Speaking with her felt like we were talking to a good friend & the way she gages Information about our relationship to translate to the most beautiful words recited at our ceremony was extraordinary. She also oversaw our filing of marriage license and remained in contact until we received our certificate. Our guests have not stop raving about Robyn since. You won't be disappointed in letting her officiate your ceremony. Thank you Robyn for being one of the best parts of our wedding day.
Robyn performed our wedding ceremony at The Whitby Castle on 9/10/2022. We were so blown away with Robyn’s ceremony. It felt like our best friend was re-telling our love story. I...
t was both poignant and funny. It was absolutely perfect. We had no idea what to expect that day and she exceeded our expectations. Thank you Robyn for making our day so special.
Robyn absolutely made our wedding day. We interviewed various officiants and she made us feel so comfortable, and like she actually just wanted to get to know us and our story. The...
ceremony that she wrote and delivered was so beautiful and made us feel like she had know us forever. I think every single one of our guests told us how amazing she was, saying things like “she was the best officiant I’ve ever seen” and “she was like an angel”. Book Robyn for your wedding and you’ll have an absolutely incredible ceremony!
Robyn created such a thoughtful and beautiful ceremony experience for us. After the wedding we’re still getting family and friends telling us how amazing she was! She truly made ou...
r ceremony feel special, and helped us through the whole process. I can’t recommend her enough.
Robyn is a MC extraordinaire. The whole process was very professional, easy and fun. She tabled solid wedding ideas during our initial consultation that were aligned to our persona...
lities and vision. Her bubbly energy set the tone for our guest who found themselves cheering, doing the limbo and much more. Excellent experience working with Robyn, highly recommended!
Robyn was absolutely amazing! In the beginning, Robyn was very thorough with her questionnaire prior to the wedding. She asked questions that really made my newly husband and I thi...
nk “oh snap I never thought of that!” In addition sending us separate questionnaires this way she could understand our love. She was on time and ready to slay. During the vows she was very candid mentioning comments that allowed laughter in such a sentimental moment which is soooo us! My favorite quote was “@ me with the link” in regards to my ring because of how gorgeous it is 😍. I would love to go on about my day and how she made it more special than I thought it could ever be. However, you will just have to experience it for yourself. I don’t want all her beautiful tricks to be aired.
We are so grateful to have had Robyn officiate our wedding. We found her while searching through Instagram. She really took the time to get to know us and our story during our firs...
t meeting which ultimately made us choose her. Her energy was really positive and was exactly the vibe we wanted for our wedding day. Robyn crafted the sweetest poem to read on the day of the wedding and even made sure to mention loved ones that passed away. She enforced our "no-phone policy" during portions of the ceremony which we greatly appreciated. Thank you Robyn for being a part of our special day! We highly recommend her if you are looking for an officiant for your wedding or elopement.
Robyn, leading up to the ceremony, did a fantastic job, was super responsive, and helped us customize our ceremony to a comfort level that matched our style. With calm and a sympat...
hetic manner, she delivered her speech. Joyfully at our reception, we received compliments on how well perform was the officiant as she was respectful and made people laugh throughout the celebration of the ceremony. We highly recommend Robyn Ashley Weddings!
We 100% recommend Robyn! She is amazing and everything we wanted PLUS MORE in a wedding officiant. She is patient, kind, and a pleasure to work with. She reminds you of things you ...
may have forgotten- in planning a wedding and asked all the right questions to get responses for the ceremony. She thinks about the little things that made everything run smoothly, look amazing and made our beautiful ceremony one to remember. Our initial zoom meeting was amazing, she made us so comfortable as we got to know each other, we felt like we were talking to a friend and the session went by so fast, we wanted to stay and chat more but she schedule another phone call with us a month before our wedding to talk through all the main parts of the ceremony and details. Communication is huge for us and we appreciate all the effort she put in through the zoom/phone calls, and emails and making this process so easy and smooth for us. On our wedding day, just talking with her prior to the ceremony relieved so much anticipation and stress on our part, she also incorporated her own little story about us, a reading, our own vows and a unique unity ceremony as scripted from our previous emails and zoom/phone calls. Our friends and family loved her and we absolutely adored her. Thank you so much for making our day so magical Robyn!!
We hired Robyn through a recommendation we received from a friend. From first meeting, we knew immediately that we made the perfect choice. Robyn was so thorough in her explanation...
of the process. She answered all of our questions, gave us wonderful advice on how to enhance our day and helped with the marriage license process, which I always heard was a bit difficult.
Robyn is so warm and welcoming. When we met her on the day of our wedding, Robyn made us feel at ease and soothed our wedding day jitters! We were getting married outdoors and it began to rain. Robyn took initiative and secured us a location at a nearby restaurant in case the rain didn’t stop. We were so impressed! She officiated our wedding with such grace and really brought our family and friends together.
Our best friends got engaged the day before our wedding and I have already passed Robyn’s information on to them! I’ve told everyone about how amazing our officiant was to us! I would get married 10x over just to have Robyn officiate every time!
Book her! You will not regret it! Wishing Robyn much success! We Love you! Thank you so much for making our day one to remember!
Robyn was absolutely amazinggggggg!! She made such a stressful day run smoothly and helped me keep calm before walking into the ceremony room. I highly recommend anyone hiring her ...
for their big day, she’s the biggest sweetheart and truly cares for her clients and making their special day even better!
We had the pleasure of working with Robyn when she presided over our five-year vow renewal ceremony. Robyn was absolutely amazing. It was important for us to have an officiant that...
'got us' and Robyn did just that. From our initial Zoom meeting, it was clear that Robyn was the perfect person for our special occasion.
Robyn is warm, professional, knowledgeable, communicative, and super-friendly. Her process really helped us focus on the importance and significance of the moment. We enjoyed each step of the process and loved the way she incorporated our Love Story into our ceremony.
Most importantly to us, Robyn treated us like family. We laughed like old friends. She took pictures for us and celebrated us like we had known each other all our lives.
We made the best decision when we chose Robyn to officiate our ceremony. She was quite simply, fantastic. We highly recommend her, she's a wonderful officiant and even better person.
Robyn was absolutely amazing! We changed the date a few times, but she was very accommodating. We gave her the address where our wedding would take place and she showed up on time ...
and with her game face! Her voice is beautifully soothing. Literally, a voice and tone that you just have to have read your wedding vows. Super friendly and a regal presence at the same time. She read a beautiful poem that made one of my attendees actually cry lol. We didn’t have to worry about the vows, but she did give us the option to exchange our own. She handled it all! I just knew, from looking at her Instagram of previous weddings she officiated, that she was a chameleon and was going to be perfect for us. She sent our signed marriage license certificate the same day and gave us the tracking number for it, which gave my partner peace of mind. Just a beautiful soul, professional, very refreshing, and absolutely the go-to if you want an officiant who gives excellence across the board. Thank you so much Robyn
for everything!!
Robyn did a wonderful job officiating our wedding and she came all the way up to Albany to do it! She is highly skilled at communicating and working with couples to create the cere...
mony they want. She was also so good at holding space for the two of us and turning our wedding jitters into joy.
I can’t say enough good things about Robyn. She was great throughout the entire process leading up to our ceremony and scheduled a Zoom meeting with us to make sure all the details...
were organized. My approach to marriage comes from a very spiritual perspective and Robyn aligned with that 100% by picking the perfect words, poem, and vows to share during our ceremony. Even better yet, she fit in perfectly with my entire wedding party and we all feel as though we’ve gained a friend after meeting and working with her. Guests complimented her vibe, saying her voice felt sweet and soothing and the ceremony was really special and beautiful.
