Upon reading Rev Deb's website, my fiance and I both knew we were going to be very pleased with her. After meeting her we were even more thrilled. Our meeting was for about 45 minutes just talking about how we met and what we love about each other as Rev Deb took some notes. Everyone at our ceremony thought we had known her for years with the way she spoke of us and the detail with which she recalled events we had described. Rev Deb Kept religion in our ceremony, but made sure love was the focal point, which was exactly what drew my wife and I to her. If you are on the fence about an officiant I would highly recommend visiting Rev Deb and you will be blown away by your ceremony.

Rev Deb was amazing. From the start of our process of finding an officiant she was helpful kind and honest. After meeting with her our search was over and we were confident in her ability to create a personal and meaningful ceremony. When we were at my husbands parents house telling his family we found our officiant my husband's sister yelled omg Rev Deb married us too!!! So I knew it was absolutely meant to be. She worked hard to personalize our ceremony and created something that was so special. We have been married for a year now and we still get compliments on how wonderful she was. She was so awesome that my husband's younger brother (his best man) and his now wife decided she was the right fit for them too and used her at their wedding that just passed. So she has married almost our whole family :). You can tell that bringing people together is something she is so passionate about and it shows in every ceremony she does. We love her! #teamrevdeb
My guests were raving about our ceremony. Said they have never neen to anything like it. It was so personal. Rev Deb took the time to get to know us. We couldn't be happier.
I normally don't write reviews but I felt I had to write one for Rev. Deb since she was so amazing. I'm so happy we found her - our wedding would not have been the same without her! She was so amazing and helped us feel relaxed throughout the planning process. She also helped us come up with some great ceremony extras which we didn't even know existed. She was the one vendor we weren't worried about, and we were right - on the day of the wedding, Rev Deb arrived early (she actually got there before my mom haha) and helped walk us through everything. Our ceremony was amazing and we got a ton of compliments on it! I'm so happy that we found her!
Reverend Debra makes you feel comfortable speaking with her. She pays attention to every word you say. I am so grateful and thankful that I found her by chance.
