Rev. Deb Viola just did our wedding this past Sunday 3-3-13, n all I can say is thank you! Thanks for the perfect ceremony n thanks for listening to what we truly asked for n delivering that on our wedding day!
Deb was absolutely amazing for us. When we met with her we instantly clicked and we really loved how she put together ceremonies. What she put together for us was so personal and touching, we were blown away and have received so many compliments from our guests since then! She was awesome to work with, very responsive with any questions we had and we were so impressed with the ceremony she created just for us.
Rev. Deb was amazing and so easy to communicate with via phone and email. After meeting Rev. Deb we knew she would be able to bring a very personal touch to our ceremony and she truly did. Anytime we sent her an email she sent a response that day and her responses were sure to answer each part of the email. So many people complimented us the day of the wedding and still weeks later telling us that our ceremony was so personal and so unique to us as a couple. We could not have been more happy with Rev. Deb and I certainly recommend her over & over again. She even had a calming demeanor about her that made us both feel so at ease the day of and throughout the preparation process. She truly is one of kind and she listens to what you want. If you choose Rev Deb you will be so happy, we were! Mike & Maddy
Rev Deb was great from the beginning, she did a wonderful job!
What can i say, we had Reverend Deb from Ceremonies of the Heart and she not only did my wedding but also my older sisters wedding 5 years ago. We love reverend Deb! Even with my husband and I being out of state, it was like we had known her for years, she was very good at answering emails and phone calls going back and forth. She even let us personalize our ceremony, we didn't want something that we had to choose from a pre cut cookie cutter feel out of a book, so we actually took part in making our ceremony up :) exactly how we wanted. I was appalled when i was looking at other officiants who REFUSED to let us make our own ceremony from readings and sample ceremonies online, we had other officiants actually have the nerve to tell us that if we made our own ceremony it would come out horrible. But not Rev Deb :) She was willing to work with us from the start, after all the ceremony is the most important part! We are a kind of unique couple and wanted to incorporate different traditions and she was always on board with us :) She not only recited a beautiful ceremony but also performed a sand ceremony and a hand fasting with us. We got so many compliments from our guests on how beautiful and different our ceremony was and it wouldn't have been possible without Rev Deb. Highly recommended!
