Very caring and sincere

Debra is very detail oriented and deeply cared about our thoughts and feelings. She genuinely wanted to give us the best possible experience. She's much more than an officiant, she did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful day! Thanks!

Amazing Officiant!! Highly recommend!

We met with our officiant Debra the other evening for the first time to start planning our wedding ceremony, and she has already SURPASSED our expectations, even from the first planning meeting!! She was so warm and welcoming as was her husband! You can really tell she loves what she does and excels at it! She puts so much love and effort into her work and into your ceremony to help make it so personal! We can’t wait to see the final results and excited to continue working with Vista Events! We know she will make our wedding day beyond special! Love, Katie and Gary!
