I am often asked, “How did you get started in the wedding business?”
It began when I was a young girl. I grew up in rural North Carolina and was part of a large family. My cousin Diane was getting married and I wanted to be her flower girl. I dreamed that walking down the aisle in a cute dress and tossing flowers just before Diane appeared, would be magical. Sadly, I was too shy to ask and someone else was chosen. At a family event in 2016, I told Diane how much of an impact her wedding made on my life. She was so touched by my story she said, “Would you like to have my wedding dress?”
In 2012 my co-worker Janice met Jimmy. They fell in love and got engaged. Janice and I talked about her March 2013 wedding during lunch breaks. It was fun listening to her ideas and offering advice. She knew I was a Florida notary and asked if I would officiate her ceremony. My answer was “YES”.
After Janice and Jimmy’s wedding, it was clear officiating and planning weddings was the right path for me. I decided on a company name . . . Florida Event and Wedding Planning Services Inc. I bought business cards, got a business license, insurance and began networking with local vendors and venues. Even though event and wedding planning comes easily to me officiating is what I love. And that is a brief description of how Married by Robin has evolved.
You can find me on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
