Reviews of Joyful Heart Ceremonies (Weddings by Reverend Debby)
My husband and I wanted something traditional, but still with a modern feel, and the ceremony Reverend Debby developed hit the nail right on the head. She worked with us to ensure we were comfortable with the vows, and encouraged us to make the vows our own, by allowing us to modify and add what we wanted – she even included a tribute to both of our grandmothers’ who we lost this year.
Reverend Debby was a true blessing to us, and I thank God we found her!
She was very easy to communicate with and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. We had an initial phone-call where we talked about what my husband are like and what we are looking for. Rev. Debby understood exactly what we wanted (spiritual ceremony) and drafted a very simple but elegant ceremony to fit just that!
We did not have Rev. Debby attend our rehearsal, but her instructions/ceremony script provided us all the details to run through the rehearsal ourselves (with a stand-in Rev acted out by my husband's uncle).
On the day of, Debby made sure to come up before hand and introduce herself to me, which I really appreciated. The ceremony itself is a blur, as I was just zoning in on my husband to-be and was surprised I said what I was supposed to say at the right time :) Our guests commented how much they liked the nature of our ceremony and how sweet and polite Rev. Debby was.
Thank you, Rev. Debby!
