Officiant Father Robert (Bob) Allman
I just wanted to post my awful experience with this guy. There are other posts on here detailing other couple's bad experiences with him as well, and I wish I had checked prior to booking him. We booked him in September 2009. From September to February (over 6 months) we tried getting in touch with him so we could meet him, and he either never called us back or would tell us to call back in 'another month'. It took a ridiculous amount of phone calls in order to get him to call us back. He would never pick up the phone nor would he take the initiative to call us to make an appointment. It was very frustrating. After finally meeting him in Feb, he said we would meet him 3 times in the upcoming months to go over our ceremony and get to know us. He told us we were going to meet him on May 2nd and to call a few days before to confirm. So we called a few days before, a couple of days before, on May 2nd, and no response. Never picked up, no call back, nothing. So finally after 8 months of being screwed around with, we called and cancelled. Surprisingly, that got a return phone call!!! His lack of professionalism was very concerning and made us totally uncomfortable with him. We asked for our deposit back and he advised that it was a 'donation' and non-refundable. Funny because the paper we signed called it a 'fee' for a service he was providing. Being that he is part of the clergy of the ACCUS, he is not supposed to even charge a fee, but accept a gift from the recipient of his service (the amount is up to the customer). Avoid him at all costs. If anyone has any questions, please email me and I will gladly respond.
