Ceremonies of the Heart

We found Rev Deb through The Knot, and we were so lucky we did! She took so much time to meet with us on zoom and get to know us personally, and was so personable and kind. She was very communicative throughout the whole process up to and including the wedding. Let me tell you- Rev Deb knows her stuff! I didn’t realize how much goes into officiating a wedding. Originally we had wanted a friend to officiate, but thankfully we didn’t go that route lol. Rev Deb knew the whole process, from start to finish, especially with regards to the marriage license. We had a nondenominational ceremony, but still wanted to incorporate a little bit of faith from both sides (Catholicism/Judaism). She managed to be able to do that without making it a religious ceremony, but still honoring both our families. She’s extremely thorough and meticulous, gives you a lot of different options for things you’d want her to say or speak about during the ceremony, and really tailors the whole thing to you. The day-of can be hectic, and you don’t know until that day how important the role of the officiant is and you really need someone experienced to make the process quick and run smoothly before you walk down the aisle. Once she’s up there speaking she is just a beam of light. My guests loved her, and her delivery of certain jokes and sensitive/personal matters was perfect. She made a very awkward couple so comfortable in front of 150 people staring at us lol. Truly it was a pleasure having her officiate our special day, and I would recommend her to any couple any day. Thank you so much, Rev Deb!!

Deb is so professional, kind, intuitive, and amazing with her words. Wedding guests were raving about the ceremony and she truly captured the essence of my relationship and put it into a poetic ceremony. Her words were truly moving

Reverend Deb was absolutely amazing! We needed a last-minute officiant so we could go to our Italian wedding married! she was so organized and on top of everything from the moment we reached out. She was warm, professional, and made our backyard ceremony feel incredibly special. I especially loved her Reverend attire! it added such a classy, elegant touch. She truly made our day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better Reverend, and we highly recommend her!

Reverend Debra Viola was such a pleasure to work with! She spent so much time getting to know us and our story and continually worked with us on edits to give us the most personal and perfect ceremony we could ever ask for. We received so many compliments on the way she told our story and the mix of serious moments with humor. She was so supportive of us on the day as well, which was wonderful. We highly recommend! She was so genuinely happy for us and we could not be more thrilled with the ceremony she gave us!

My husband and I got married on 8/9/25. Rev. Deb Viola was extremely kind and informative during our meeting. She really took so much time to listen to our story. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful and we received SO many compliments of her service. Everyone said she described our story beautifully and we couldn't have agreed more! 1000/10 recommend for her to perform your ceremony!!

RevDeb is truly an incredible person and made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect. She was actually the first thing I booked after my husband and I got engaged. We attended 2 wedding that she officiated and walked away both times saying, when it is our turn we want to book her. My husband and I had an interfaith wedding and wanted to make sure that our ceremony included small aspects of both religions, but most importantly told our story. Revdeb meets with you as soon as you book her to get to know you as individuals and a couple. The reasons she does this is to create a beautiful story of your relationship to share with your guests. Revdeb made our ceremony so special and intimate, yet funny and enjoyable to be a part of. All of my guests raved about how she led an incredible ceremony and I feel so lucky that we were able to have her as a part of our wedding. I truly cannot say enough about how amazing she was.

When looking for an officiant it was important for my wife and I to feel connected to the person leading the ceremony, as we wanted to entrust our union to someone who was able to portray it accurately. Rev Deb was professional, easy going, and incredibly sweet and collaborative. The process before the ceremony was great, as she made all the edits we requested. Day of, the ceremony was one of my favorite parts, in large part due to Deb. She was well spoken and her words were so beautiful, it was so memorable. So many of my guests came up and RAVED about the ceremony, not just about my wife and I, but about Deb and how beautifully she led the service. I would highly recommend and cannot thank her enough.

Rabbi Sara and Rev. Deb officiated our wedding 1/27/24. I am Jewish and my husband is Christian and Without a doubt the best part of our wedding was our interfaith Ceremony! They truly made it so special and everyone was talking about how incredible the ceremony was and that they’ve never seen anything so personal and beautiful. There was no dry eye in the house! They were both extremely communicative and made our day so special and perfect. Highly recommend using both Rabbi Sara and Rev. Deb!

Rev Deb recently officiated our interfaith wedding. From the beginning Rev Deb had such a great energy and her attention to detail was much appreciated. She created a beautiful ceremony combining my Jewish traditions with my husbands Catholic traditions and made everyone feel included. Our guests raved about what a beautiful ceremony it was, and we could not have asked for a better ceremony or officiant!

Reverend Debra Viola was so good to us. My husband and I felt truly comfortable with her professionalism and kindness. We would highly recommend her with any couple who want to embrace on their journey with love.
