We initially did not care who officiated the wedding and were going to go with one the Coral House recommended that would do a generic 1-2-3 ceremony. Then we met Rev Deb. There was just this aura around her that I could not resist. My wife and I are not religious, but consider ourselves spiritual. After talking with her for a bit I had to have her as our officiant. We booked her in November. We didn’t want a long drawn out ceremony but did want a simple blessing and something personal. She did an incredible job. It took me like 3 days to be able to read through the whole ceremony draft without crying my eyes out. I felt every word she said while standing up at the altar.

We had an excellent time working with Rev. Deb. She wrote a phenomenal ceremony for us that really captured our feelings for one another. We also had premarital counseling with her which was incredibly helpful.
Rev. Deb Viola assisted us in having the most beautiful, honest, sincere and spiritual wedding that we could imagine. The complements and beautiful expressing of how moving our ceremony was, would not have happened without Rev. Viola. We highly recommend her and her services, you will not regret it.
i would recommend Rev Deb Viola for any occasion. She was fabulous!!! Everyone at my ceremony commented on it saying how beautiful it was.
Rev Deb provided a personalized ceremony that pleased everyone. She worked with us through multiple drafts and was a consistent, calm, and professional presence before and during the ceremony. She made our wedding the special event that it was. My family members have given multiple complements on the ceremony.
