Great Experience!

After looking at a few proposed officiants, I came across Deb’s website and loved what I was seeing. After having an initial phone call with Deb, I knew I wanted her to officiate my wedding. Deb was straightforward, prompt with her responses, and very knowledgeable about the process. I fully trusted Deb. Deb also put together a few sentences based upon the information I gave her about my now husband and I. On wedding day, I loved hearing what she prepared, and thought it was so special. I even received compliments from my guests. I totally recommend retaining Deb for her services!

Rev Deb was wonderful

We had a super casual beach wedding, just us and our two daughters. Rev Deb was warm and friendly and it was all just perfect. We had a conversation the week before where she asked us about ourselves so she could make the ceremony personal, and she did a great job. Thanks for being a big part of our special day. - Kristen & Paul

The best officiant!

Rev. Deb was the best officiant we could have asked for our summer wedding in Rhode Island. She was super communicative and reassuring throughout the planning process. She sent us a packet of sample vows/scripts, which was super helpful to review and get an idea of what we wanted for our ceremony. Once we selected the style we wanted, she tailored the vows to us and our story and held a planning call with us to go over any last-minute questions.

Day of, she was personable, professional, and enthusiastic. She added in personal touches in her script that our guests loved.

Don't wait, hire Rev. Deb for your big day!

Officiant 6/27/26

Deb was so professional and kind throughout the creation of our ceremony. We only connected a few times beforehand but she delivered a ceremony so personal and beautiful that it was as if she's known us the whole time. Several guests were surprised she wasn't a family friend or someone close! She also was great with timing and giving the DJ his cue or the wedding party cues to walk. With Deb there is no trade off, you get reliability, confidence and a genuine, beautiful ceremony. We loved having Deb be part of our day, it would not have been as beautiful without her kind words.

A beautiful country wedding come true

I can't express enough of how excellent Rev. Deb Hoch was. I spoke to her on the phone and know that she be perfect for our wedding. She came to our apartment and she had a warm smile ,and asked us how we meet and listened to us and wrote down how we meet so forth. She suggested a rose for his mom which was perfect cause she had a little saying for her and we spoke highly of his mom. I told her how his mom raised 3 sons on her own and how caring and loving and strong she is and how many people love her so forth . She wrote it down and made a beautiful saying for her .She did our vows and I was amazed how she did it. She captured both of us to a t and our love for each other and add a saying from beauty and the beast which we both love that was our first Disney movie seen together and our first anniversary tatoo on our forarms. And how she spoke when we handed his mom the rose and everyone still talking about how beautiful it was. On our 3rd Anniversary we had planned to renew our wedding vows this time with just our two witness in Maine where we went on our first vaction together. You couldn't ever get any better than having Rev.Deb Hoch do your wedding vows for you all. She is outstanding and went up and above to make everything amazing. My wedding wasn't going right but when I spoke to her she calmed me down and told me everything is going to be wonderful and it's okay to be nervous. Your marrying your best friend your soul mate. She helped me pull off a joke on my husband. As he was standing and waiting for me she told him to close his eyes. She know like everyone else wat was happening. I had his best friend wear a dress down the aisle. Rev.Deb said to him she is beautiful she is almost here and as his friend arrived she told him up his eyes. Oh my he was shocked and laughing like everyone else. Not enough words or thank you to express how perfect you made our day. Your amazing. In 2029 our 3rd Anniversary I can't wait to do our wedding vows again and have her there. Thank you thank you again. I be having pictures redo cause alot of the first ones didn't come out good at all. Lol my son tired I love that but I will be sending all the good ones I do have and happy to send them too.

We loved working with Deborah!

We are so grateful that Deborah officiated our wedding. From the beginning, she went above and beyond to learn our story and deliver a heartfelt ceremony. SO many of our guests told us it was one of the best ceremonies they have ever witnessed. Her attention to detail and personalization was incredible. After learning that we love Harry Potter, she surprised us by incorporating a Dumbledore quote to the end of our ceremony, which was one of the most special parts of our day! We highly recommend Deborah.

The Perfect Ceremony, Thanks to Rev Deb Hoch

Rev. Deborah Hoch was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first meeting, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care were evident. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, understand what was most important to us, and thoughtfully guide us through every aspect of the ceremony.

Deborah provided countless resources and options to help us create a ceremony that felt completely personal and meaningful. Her guidance throughout the planning process was invaluable, and she was always timely, encouraging, and incredibly supportive.

On our wedding day, she went above and beyond. She helped Manny and his groomsmen with everything from where to stand to subtle cues during the ceremony, even reminding them to empty their pockets so nothing looked awkward in photos. These small details made a huge difference and showed just how invested she was in making our day seamless.

One of our favorite parts of the ceremony was the story she shared about us as a couple. Our relationship is filled with laughter, and Deborah beautifully captured that spirit with warmth and a touch of humor, leaving both our guests and us smiling. It felt authentic, heartfelt, and perfectly reflected who we are.

We cannot recommend Rev. Deborah Hoch highly enough. She is kind, thoughtful, organized, and a true guiding light throughout the wedding planning process. She helped create a ceremony that we will cherish forever, and we are so grateful for her care, expertise, and dedication.

Seamless Wedding Experience

From the moment we met Deb at one of our local wedding expos, we knew that she was going to be the fit for us. Her calming demeanor was one that helped put us at ease throughout the planning process (and especially at the altar during the big moment!). She truly cared about us and wanted to do everything in her power to make our ceremony and moment exactly as we wished. Deb is a true professional, and someone who we would highlight recommend to other couples. Guests and family members of our wedding came up to us after the ceremony and raved about her presence and ability to guide the room through our life changing moment. 10/10, thank you Deb!!
