Rev Deb was AMAZINGGGGGG! Not only was she SO accommodating and easy to work with (we booked our wedding very quickly and officiant last and i was very scatter brained by the end there when poor Deb had to hust begin working with and getting to know us) she was so personable like an old friend and she created a ceremony that was personalised and felt special. All of our guests have raved since the moment i saw them at the reception how wonderful she was and are still saying that the ceremony was their favorite part of the whole wedding people have told me it was "inspiring" "emotional" and "made me want to get married!" and the ceremony was absolutely our favorite part too! The ceremony really is the most important part of the wedding and Rev Deb will make it as special as it should be. The cost was comparable to ither officiants i looked in to and now hat it is all over if i knew it would be the way it was i would have paid her even more, to me she MADE the wedding.

Rev Deb was fabulous since day I met with her at her office. She was always in constant contact , worked hard with us creating a beautiful ceremony, and performed a beautiful ceremony. She was always sweet, friendly, and kind. We had an issue with our rabbi and she had our back for everything ! She is the best!!!!!!! She also gave us a binder with our ceremony and vows which I thought was so sweet.

Rev. Deb is fabulous! She takes the time to get to know a couple and incorporates little things into the service that give everyone a real sense of who the couple is. You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and delivers a wonderful ceremony. It was great to be able to work with her to put together a service that incorporated everything we wanted. She gave us choices of material to use and gave us enough time to make decisions and never feel rushed. I would recommend Rev. Deb to anyone looking for a kind, caring, truly genuine person to perform their ceremony. She was wonderful!

Rev Deb was amazing! We loved how we were able to have a customized ceremony and she really seemed like she knew us even though we only met once before the wedding. She took out anything we didn't like and added stuff in to fit our personalities. Every time we tried to contact her she was very professional and responded right away. I highly recommend hiring Rev. Deb

Rev Deb is absolutely wonderful! So many people said to us after the ceremony how great it was. She really helped make it our own which was really important to us. We made lots of changes especially to our own vows right down to the last day and nothing was ever an issue. She was so easy to work with, it made the whole process really special. We HIGHLY recommend for your special day. THANK YOU CEREMONIES OF THE HEART!!!!
