FH and I were lucky enough to win the services of Rev. Deb Viola at a bridal showcase a couple of years ago. We were psyched because we really didn't know where to look for an officiant. Neither of us are religious so it really didn't seem like too big of a deal. When we met with Rev. Deb we absolutely fell in love with her! She was laid back, funny and patient with FH and I as we had NO idea what we wanted in our ceremony. She asked us about one another and how we met and we just started talking with her. We had no idea how personalized our ceremony would be. All of our guests are raving about how she really captured the essence of who we are. Let?s just say that FH expected to be rather non-chalant during our ceremony and he definitely was emotionally moved. I would not hesitate to recommend her to EVERYONE I know that is getting married!

Believe it or not I found Rev Deb on the internet and did not meet her until out wedding ceremony on June 27, 2009. I can say that I could not have asked for a better officiant. She was understanding and did not pressure us to go down the religious route which was great. The ceremony Rev Deb performed was genuine and beautiful we were extremely happy with the services we received. I highly recommend her services because she was a sweetheart and our ceremony could not have been better.

Rev Deb was the best!!!! She performed the most beautiful ceremony!!! I am not the most serious person in the world(who am I kidding. . . I can't ever be serious!!) and while up at the alter I was constantly making faces and joking around, but even through all that the ceremony was perfect. She has this smile that is just perfect!!! I am so glad she was a part of our day!!!
