Debbie is pure class, communication and personalized care
We chose a handfasting ceremony, which we were able to personalize and make our own. Debbie was helpful and thorough making sure all our requests and needs were well planned, practiced and clear for each other and our guests. Using something simple like google docs and her concise communication style, we were able to design our wedding ceremony in a very personal way. Debbie made sure to stay in contact with us, and clarify questions as they arose so we were completely confident our big day of. Because handfasting requires the tying of cords (where "tying the knot" come from) Debbie even went as far as arranging to meet us to practice our vows and knots so the key moment of our ceremony went smoothly and the focus was on our words and commitmment-- not a fumble or panic! We felt Debbi wasn't just officiating our wedding, she was celebrating with us-- leading our guests through the most important part of our day-- our commitment to each other. We were married May 26, 2018 at Hernder estates Winery. Debbie came early, and provided her calm confidence leading up tto the ceremony. We never doubted for one single second we were in the best hands. Her help, guidance and her insistence at practicing our vows and knots was what an officent should be-- the person we trust to lead us through such an emotional life impacting event. Thank you Debbie for making our day magical and classy. Thank you most of all for making this part of our journey easy, fun and most of all memorable! We cannot say enough good things about Debbie's skill and care. Thank you!

Amazing service
Debbi was a wonderful officiant. Debbi was communicative and patient as we took very little effort into our vows. We were hippy sorts and quite unorganized and Debbi took it all in stride and managed to rein us back in. Debbi was sweet and kind and made us feel even more in love with her love for us. I highly recommend Debbi.

An absolute pleasure!
Debbie was fantastic to work with. She put us both at ease immediately, and had such a great approach to our ceremony. It was customized, perfect in every way, and she even smiled when the wind blew my veil at her! I recommend her to the highest degree!
