Amazing officiant!

Debbi was an absolute pleasure to work with as our wedding officiant. We wanted a very short, legal ceremony with no religious themes, and she accommodated that easily and without any fuss. Even though the ceremony was brief, her warmth really came through. She was welcoming, kind, and immediately made us feel comfortable.

On the day, Debbi had such a calming presence and genuinely helped ease our nerves. Everything was smooth and organized from start to finish. We’ve seen plenty of ceremonies where small mix ups happen, but with Debbi there were zero issues. The ceremony went off without a hitch.

Her pricing was also very reasonable. We would absolutely recommend Debbi to anyone looking for a professional, warm, and reliable officiant.

Great Experience

Debbi was amazing. Right from the beginning - very easy to talk to, good vibes. She had a few ceremony options that we could choose from that made things easier. We choose the toast ceremony which we thought was a nice change to the typical and our guest agreed.

We loved working with Debbi but the fact that our guest even commented on how great she was, says a lot. Highly recommend.

Very personalized experience

Debbi was a FANTASTIC officiant at our wedding this past Saturday! Throughout the wedding planning process, Debbi has been kind, calming, responsive (emailed back within 10 minutes), personable, and flexible. Debbi made us feel so comfortable when explaining her role and even offered to do a virtual rehearsal over Google meets. The rehearsal was a bit chaotic on our end (kids running, dogs barking, confused wedding party) but Debbi remained professional and patient throughout the process. She also personalized our ceremony to our liking and even managed to chat on the phone while hosting her family for her nephew's wedding the next day!! Debbi is incredible and I would recommend her services to everyone getting married.

Apr 26 2025 Wedding Review

Debbi was our wedding ceremony officiant this past weekend and she was amazing! She helped us customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted, met with us multiple times in the lead up to the ceremony. She guided us through the rehearsal and gave us great suggestions on how to position ourselves to get the best photos & videos. On the day, she was loud and clear and delivered a great ceremony. Even got out of frame for all of our pictures! It was a pleasure working with you Debbi!

The perfect officiant 💕

We had a phenomenal experience with Debbi as our officiant! She was extremely professional and experienced. We had complete say in the vibe and script of our ceremony and were able to completely relax and enjoy own moment with her taking the reins. She was a calming presence that I didn't know I needed, not only through the planning process but also while choking back tears during our vows. I would recommend Debbi 100 times over!

Debbi is a true gem

Debbi officiated our wedding last weekend and we could not be happier with how it came together. She was lovely to work with from the start, provided so much info and materials to ensure that our secular ceremony was exactly what we wanted. We had many guests comment on what a beautiful job she did and we couldn’t agree more. If you want someone who is professional, reliable, communicative, a beautiful person who will make your ceremony exactly what you want it to be then congratulations, you’ve found her ! Thank you Debbi for making our day so perfect

Wonderful experience!

Debbie officiated our wedding in September 2023, and it was just so special. She took the time to get to know us, and listened to what we wanted and didn’t want. She gave us some options to review and then built the perfect, personalized ceremony. Our guests kept telling us that the ceremony felt like US. Which is exactly what we were going for. I highly recommend Debbie as a wedding officiant!
