Rev. Deb Viola made our wedding as special as we dreamed by getting to know us as a couple during pre wedding workshops. She was so knowledgable when it came to blending our faiths & traditions. She made sure all aspects of our ceremony were explained. She even arrived under the weather to our wedding & brought back up just in case she wouldn't be able to preform the ceremony. It is hard to put into words what it meant to have Rev. Deb be a part of our special day. (We still go to her for advice).

Reverend Deb created a beautiful and tailored ceremony for us! Even the MEN came up to us and commented on how great the ceremony was, so you know if men notice it has to be great! We had a ceremony that included hand fasting which I loved! Deb will sit with you and your fiance' and get some details about your relationship- ours is Diamonds and Duck Dynasty and people are still laughing because it is true! Rev. Deb performed my sister's ceremony a few years back and we knew then that she would be the one to perform ours- THANK YOU DEB! I cannot wait to see the video! It made me cry then and it will make me cry again- thank you for your special touch!
I totally agree with the other comments below-- Deb was a pleasure to work with. She made our ceremony feel intimate and personal even though she only met us once. Rev Deb was really willing to incorporate whatever we wanted into the ceremony--we had two readings and a unity candle where we invited our families up. She was punctual and always responsive!
We were lucky enough to have Rev Deb officiate our wedding ceremony. She was the perfect fit for us! She spent the time to get to know me and my husband and then was able to incorporate that into our ceremony. She was professional, personable and overall a great person to work with.
Deb radiates warmth and caring without taking anything away from the moments we shared as we said our vows. She was kind, supportive and inclusive of our wedding party and those attending the ceremony. She made everyone feel good!
