We had our wedding May 27th 2018 and are still hearing great things about our ceremony! She made it personal so much so that people felt like they really knew how we fell in love and why we are together. The happy tears fell, some giggles, so much joy. She made us feel special and loved. We can’t say enough great things about Rev Deb!
My husband Jim and I were married June 2, 2018. Rev. Deb was so kind and generous, she allowed us to be exactly who we are and made our ceremony so special. She even went over and above and did a (spiritual) "rain-dance" to keep us dry under our beautiful willow tree! We all loved her! The best!!
Absolutely amazing ceremony. Our guest can't stopping talking about it and neither can we. Rev Deb is wonderful. I highly recommend using her. Thank you once again Rev Deb for making our special day even more spectacular.
Rev Deb was our reverend for our wedding a couple weeks ago , I actually looked her up because she had married my sister and her husband in sept 2010, I couldn't have imagined having anyone else marry me and my now husband . She was a pleasure to deal with from the day I left her a voicemail..
Reverend Debra is the best! She is warm and easy to talk to. Our wedding ceremony was so special thanks to her planning. She put us at ease during this stressful time with her reassurance and expertise. She made it a point to make the ceremony reflect us and gave us several options and ideas for the how the ceremony could go. She also has a beautiful speaking voice. Many guests commented on what a wonderful job she did.
