Reverend Deborah Hoch recently officiated our wedding in September 2023 at Longwood Venues's Belle Mer. We completely see why she is on Longwood Venues' list of preferred/recommended wedding vendors/partners. The moment we spoke with her, we knew she was exactly the person we wanted to officiate our wedding! She has such a wide range of ways to create a ceremony - across the spectrum of religions, the level of religious inclusions, how the bride and groom participate, etc. My fiance and I wanted to make the ceremony meaningful without having to read aloud our personal vows and have a 'sprinkle' of Christian traditions/readings. It was clear Deborah has many years of experience with officiating weddings as she 100% understood from a single intro call with her what we were looking for - and even sent over numerous example of ceremony structures that we could take pieces from and make our own special structure with. On wedding day, her calm and collected manner calmed us down and helped us focus on the meaning of the day. She was communicative with the wedding party on what to expect in the ceremony and reminded them on tips for walking down the aisle. She delivered an amazing wedding ceremony - with many tears and smiles in the audience throughout. Also, many don't realize the legal steps that need to be taken to get your marriage license and make it official. Deborah completely led the process and managed submission of our marriage documents post-wedding. Thank you so much to Rev Deborah Hoch! We would highly recommend her to anyone getting married!!! 10 out of 10!

Deb was absolutely amazing! Very helpful in all aspects! She helped choose our ceremony location, ideas on planning, choosing vows etc. we will be inviting her to come back to our wedding celebration next year!

Deborah was so great to work with. From the early stages of wedding planning to the day of the wedding. She truly made our ceremony so special. We can’t thank her enough for making the ceremony stress free and one that we will remember forever.
