A beautifully personal ceremony with structure

I highly recommend Deborah Roth if you want an experienced, spiritual officiant who can (1) build a non-denominational, formal ceremony that reflects the importance of the moment and (2) customize various ceremony elements to meet the personal style and preferences of the couple. Deborah was not only kind and personable, she provided thoughtful technical guidance on ceremony length, altar positioning, microphones, etc. I also appreciated that she had our entire program printed in a portfolio/binder that she held alongside the mic while we read our vows (a blessing for a bride with shaky hands). Deborah was on the high price side of the officiants we explored, but she was well worth it. We never stressed with Deborah— I highly recommend.

100% recommend!

Deborah was great to work with! She has a lot of experience but was also flexible enough to work with us to build our own personal wedding ceremony. Very responsive and very helpful throughout the process!

Absolutely amazing!!!

Deborah Is truly an amazing officiant and person. Calm, understanding, and organized

She worked with my wife and I to create the perfect ceremony and made it a breeze the entire time.

She had the ability to blend my Wife’s as well as my faith together for the ceremony seamlessly. (Christian and Wiccan)

I could not recommend her more. She’s truly amazing. Thank you so much!!

Thank you Deborah!

Deborah was fantastic to work with, from when we first chatted a year out, through several workshops/prep sessions in the months leading up, plus countless offline back and forth with tips and feedback. We wanted a ceremony that was deeply meaningful for us and spiritual without being religious, and an officiant who would help us craft it to be 100% us.
The ceremony came together and was delivered beautifully. While everything felt uniquely us, she artfully created space for everyone around us, regardless of their background, faith system, etc, to feel and share in that sacrament with us.
The process to get there and draft everything was also painless (and fun!).
One of the big pieces of feedback we got on our wedding from guests was how “intentional” everything felt. We think a huge part of that was rooted in crafting such a unique and special ceremony.

An incredible guide and resource for creating our unique ceremony

Rev Deb was an amazing resource and guide to us as we crafted a relatively atypical ceremony for our not-quite-a-wedding. She shared a wealth of knowledge, clearly accrued from guiding many couples through similar processes, while still allowing us to create something that felt unique and new to us. She also elegantly managed the various people other than ourselves who were involved in our ceremony, for which we were very grateful!

A perfect ceremony!

We had the BEST experience with Deborah. Our wedding ceremony was a dream, and Deborah helped us make the process as streamlined and easy as possible. After our wedding, so many of our family and friends mentioned that they thought our ceremony was one of the most unique and beautiful wedding ceremonies they had ever seen. The ceremony was the one thing we were the most apprehensive about putting together, especially because neither of us are religious but we are coming from religious families. Deborah guided us towards a ceremony that was the perfect combination of meaningful symbolism and it felt very warm and personal. It was also so great to meet up with her in person and walk through the details! If you're looking for a truly special wedding officiant, we would highly recommend Deborah Roth!

Incredible Officiant - book her ASAP!

Deborah was FANTASTIC. She was our ceremony officiant for our wedding at Blue Hill Stone Barns in July 2022. We highly recommend her.

During the prep stage, she was genuinely interested in getting to know us and was very patient. We interviewed several other officiants and Deborah was all-around best (positive energy, calming yet had a strong presence, etc.). During the ceremony, when we were getting emotional and crying, she was able to calm our nerves and get us through the ceremony. I cannot overstate how incredible this was. We may have been balling for 10+ minutes if it wasn't for her. We were very glad we had Deborah officiating our wedding and highly recommend her!

Better than we could have dreamed

Where do we even begin - THANK YOU Deb for making our wedding even more personal, emotional, and wonderful than we could have imagined. In terms of coordinating, Deborah was prompt, professional, and so helpful in keeping us on task. Where she blew us (and our families) away was in her crafting and delivery of an incredible service. Coming from Catholic backgrounds, choosing a non-religious ceremony did not make our parents ~thrilled~ but after our ceremony they couldn't have imagined anything else for us. There wasn't a dry eye in the house once Deb was done with us. Couldn't recommend her more!

Amazing, personalized, unique. A dream officiant!

Meeting Deborah and going through the ceremony planning process hand-in-hand with her was a formative experience for us. Deborah's attention to detail, her personal touch, her years and years of experience all served to make the ceremony an unforgettable experience. As neither I nor my wife are particularly religious, we wanted to find someone who could step in and help us give the wedding ceremony the gravitas and sincerity that we both felt. Deborah was able to deliver that and more! From meeting and getting to know Deborah, to writing our vows, to structuring the ceremony, and throughout the event itself, Deborah was there to help, advise, and guide. If you are looking for a kind, knowledgeable, professional, (did I mention kind?) officiant, look no further!
