The perfect officient!

Deborah was everything we could have hoped for in a wedding officiant and more. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us as a couple. She crafted a ceremony that was deeply personal, heartfelt, and so uniquely us that many guests assumed she was a close family member. That’s how connected and invested she felt in our story.

Her attention to detail was exceptional. She guided us through every step of the process, from thoughtfully documenting our relationship to helping with the marriage license logistics and even checking in afterward. As a beautiful final touch, she gifted us a keepsake certificate and a printed copy of our ceremony script, which we’ll always treasure.

Deborah brought warmth, care, and professionalism to every moment. She didn’t just perform a ceremony, she created an experience we’ll never forget. We’re endlessly grateful and would highly recommend Deborah!

Deborah is a gem!

Deborah simply did a fantastic job officiating our wedding. Great to work with and did a great job making our ceremony unique to us. We received so many comments from guests asking specifically about her and how the ceremony was so heartfelt. And stylish! She wore a robe that complimented our attire and our surroundings. Her oratory was clear and easy to understand over a mic. She just has a calm energy that radiates love and confidence that she knows what she's talking about. Very professional and she made it easy to decide what type of ceremony we wanted to have. She's got it down! We couldn't have asked for more. An excellent choice!

A big contributor to our wedding success

Deborah did an amazing job for our wedding being our officiant. This is such an important role that wedding couples can overlook. The detailed questionnaire she provide really help set the tone and context of what will be said during the wedding. Our friends and relatives came away knowing us more and and have a better understanding of our love for each other, making it a romantic experience. Her ability to use such information and to convey it up on the stage with her clear, soothing, lively and eloquent voice created the perfect wedding ambience and everyone was touched by it!

Deborah made our ceremony beautiful and perfect in every way!

I can't sing enough praises for Deborah. She was extremely professional and experienced in her work. She took the time to go through everything in detail, from wedding vows to the ceremony tips and insights- she knows it all and is happy to pass on her expertise to make sure your day goes flawlessly. We had a small wedding with no rehearsal, but with Deborah’s guidance, it was beautiful and perfect in every way. She took control of the ceremony and made sure everyone was on the same page- from the groom, to the wedding party, to the coordinator. She kept reminding me it was my day and was happy to accommodate every detail of my vision.

I personally hope other couples seek Deborah’s wisdom and care, she will truly make the day as special as it should be for a couple. Not only that, but the love and light she brings to the couple and the ceremony will make for an experience you will never forget.

Our guests all agreed it was the most fun and elegant ceremony they’ve been to. We can’t thank you enough, Deborah!

So nice we hired her twice!

We had the pleasure of having Rev. Deborah Young as our officiant twice! She made our baby blessings extra special by caring about every detail and accommodating our overall vision for the event. We strongly recommend Rev. Young, hands down.

Deborah is a gem!

We love Deborah! She made our elopement so special and we would highly recommend her! After our initial phone call with her, we knew we wanted to move forward because of how she really cared about us and our story and how special she wanted to make our ceremony. My favorite thing she did for us, was to have my husband and I write the reasons why we loved each other and send to her separately. Then, during our ceremony, we got to read what we wrote to each other and it truly was the most special moment and one I will never forget. Deborah is a gem and the best at what she does!
