Rev Deb was a pleasure to work with and did a wonderful job meeting our desire for a meaningful yet simple civil ceremony. We had struggled after speaking with several officiants to find someone we clicked with, yet the moment we sat down to talk with Deb we felt at ease and knew she would help make this a less stressful endeavor. We opted to have her send us a comprehensive ceremony where she gave us a variety of options to choose for the different parts of the ceremony. She included a nice and poignant section on the story of our relationship. Where we felt there needed to be some changes, Deb was flexible and allowed us to edit things to tailor it to our wishes. We had limited time and no real rehearsal space for our wedding, so I would say I was nervous about the actual execution of the ceremony, but Deb was cool and collected and helped direct everything into place. We felt at ease and able to relax!
I had my heart set on Reverend Deb after she performed my cousin's wedding. It was the only wedding that I had ever cried at. Her writing was so emotional and personal. Originally she was unable to perform our ceremony because she was already booked but when the other couple moved their wedding to another day she called us and gave us the good news. After meeting with her and discussing our relationship, our feelings for each other and how we met, she wrote up a very personal ceremony for us. We have gotten many comments from our guests about how sweet and emotional our ceremony was. I am thankful that I got to have her perform at our wedding. The only problem that occurred was that it sometimes took her too long to get back to me but she did contact us when it was important.
Rev Deb delivered the most beautiful and heartfelt ceremony for our wedding on 9/4/11 at the Lands End in Sayville !l She magically translated our love for one another & our future hopes and dreams into a beautiful ceremony, we will forever cherish. Many people complimented us on how great the ceremony was!! Additionally, she was great in communicating when composing our draft, was prompt the day of the event, and our marriage certificate was waiting for us upon return of our honeymoon! We know there was no better choice than Rev Deb for our Day!!
We felt that Rev. Deb went the extra mile for us. We sat down with her (which seems like quite some time ago) to talk about our relationship etc and she comprised a beautiful ceremony for us. She asked us for input and honored any other requests. She was very easy to work with and we felt as if she genuinely cared about us as a couple! Thank you!
