Rev. Deb listened to what my (at the time) future husband and i wanted and created a moving and memorable ceremony for us. It was exactly what we wanted, she had all the aspects that we were looking for. Everyone says how beautiful and touching her words were, it was not the run of the mill wedding ceremony. I would ove3 to work with her again.

My husband is Jewish and I am Catholic, technically. We knew wanted a ceremony that was more of a personal nature rather than religious. I had phoned another officiant who immediately gave me a guilt trip about not having our ceremony in a church. She even went so far to say that I should be happy my mother was so understanding, to allow us to be married outside a church. I had expected the same reaction from other officiants so I was hesitant when I called Reverend Deb. But it became clear immediately that my fears were unfounded. Reverend Deb put us at ease immediately and assured us that she would custom design our ceremony to suit our desires of a perfect wedding day. And that is exactly what she did. She infused our families into the service, which was very important to us, and stayed true to the personal feel that we wanted. Always patient and understanding, she organized our rehearsal and made our ceremony a success. We would recommend her with no reservations, and I welcome any questions anyone would like to ask me.

This was the one vendor that I was really procrastinating with booking… here I was 3 months before the wedding and still had no one to marry us. Neither DH nor I are very religious and are both different religions, so I thought this was going to be my most challenging vendor to book…After doing some LIW research, I first contacted Pastor April, from the Church of Ancient Ways… after receiving my first email from Pastor April, by the time I wrote back to her, she had booked an appt for our date but was nice enough to recommend Rev. Deb. Rev Deb was great from our first meeting with her DH opened up to her immediately so I knew she was the one to book! She actually made me excited about our ceremony and made me feel like it was actually going to be special… I was so nervous that it was going to be boring since we didn’t want to involve anything religious… She gave us a huge packet of non-religious readings that was so hard to pick from, because they were all beautiful and she shared the idea of having a sand ceremony. Well, our ceremony was very special and when Rev. Deb got there, she gave me a big hug and I knew everything was going to be great. She even gave us a copy of what she read for our ceremony. It was really beautiful.

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 MADE our wedding! The ceremony she created for us was personal, spiritual, uplifting, and just utterly beautiful. We met with her only once before the big day, and we had people coming up to us after the ceremony asking how long we’d known her, shocked to hear the truth, thinking we’d known her forever. One of our groomsmen who was getting married a few weeks later was mad he didn’t know about Rev. Deb before that day, because he wished he could have booked her for his own wedding after being part of the ceremony. The process from start to finish was pretty simple – we met with her once, discussed the types of elements we wanted to include in our ceremony, and from there went back and forth over email a few times regarding the ceremony she had drafted. She has some beautiful ideas and excerpts to include, and every single person has since said it was the most beautiful and original ceremony they’ve ever seen. On the day-of, everything went perfectly, except I actually forgot to bring our marriage license to the venue! I panicked (obviously), but Rev. Deb kept me calm and started talking through all the different scenarios so we could have the license signed before we left the country for two weeks (since the paperwork needs to be sent in within a certain window after the ceremony takes place). She even offered to have us drop by her house on our way to the airport the next day and use her family members as witnesses if necessary! Luckily, a few of our guests were able to retrieve it from our hotel in time, but it was amazing to know she would have done anything to help us out and make sure we didn’t have to worry. If you’re looking for a personalized, touching ceremony that really speaks to the couple getting married vs. a generic, templated ceremony, Rev. Deb is your gal! We can’t thank her enough for making our day so special and memorable!
