Excellent!

From the time I emailed, to the time of the ceremony, Deb was great. She communicated quickly and told us everything we needed to know. She was also very patient on our wedding day because my daughter was late and she (my daughter) was also our photographer. Her price was super reasonable, too! I would totally recommend!

Rev. Debra O'Dell is a wonderful choice for an officiant. Her speaking voice is clear and loud even without the use of a microphone. Her comedic timing is perfect and is able to roll with some relatively awkward situations.
