Deb is so sweet and professional! We had gotten married in the church on our original wedding day with only 50 people and for our 1 year anniversary (postponed reception) we wanted to renew our vows so all our guests could have the chance to see a ceremony. It turned out perfect! The process was easy and the script was thoughtful and tailored to our needs. You will be in great hands with Deb!

Rev Deb was wonderful to work with! She is so warm and welcoming. She wrote a wonderful ceremony for our wedding that was so personal to us. We received many compliments from our guests! She stuck with us through our two wedding postponements without issue and we were so grateful to have her! We highly recommend this kind, flexible, and professional officiant.
I found Rev Deb through April Gismondi and she is an absolute gem. Deb has amazing pre-written ceremonies that are absolutely beautiful. We chose one and our family felt like it was written just for us! We also chose 2 readings from her website, which has a lot of great choices. We were getting so many compliments throughout the day on how great our officiant was, considering we had never met her in person before...COVID times.... She maintained safe COVID protocol which is a huge plus! Deb also gave us a binder with a copy of our ceremony in it as a keepsake, which is super sweet. I would recommend her completely!!! Made our day amazing!!
Reverend Deb made our day special. She followed up every step of the way and did a beautiful sentimental ceremony. She was very organized, prompt, and knowledgeable. I high recommend her services.
My wife and I were actually referred to Rev Deb by another officiant who felt she would be the perfect fit for us. We are so grateful. Rev Deb is responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. She interwove aspects of both of our faiths to create a beautiful, unique, and meaningful experience. Our guests have passed along many compliments on the ceremony. Booking Rev Deb was an easy decision for us. We couldn't recommend her enough!
