  Smoky Mountain Wedding

  We worked with Debbie for a few months to put together our ceremony in The Smoky Mountains. She was SO easy to work with and listened to our every need/want for what our ceremony consisted of. I would highly recommend Debbie as she’s so personable and so easy to talk with. I feel like I’ve known her for forever and she truly made our ceremony the absolute best it could be!

  Deb was great in helping us tie this whole thing together. Her professionalism and etiquette is amazing. We chose for her to be Not very formal, and cut out the religious aspects and she respectfully did so. Her script and readings were fantastic and no one had trouble being able to understand her.
  Thanks for an awesome ceremony Debbie!

  Saved the day and did an amazing job!

  Our original officiant canceled 2 weeks before the wedding. I found Deb that day, sent her a message, and she responded immediately! We had an officiant before we knew it! Even with the short notice, Deb took the time to get to know us and she created a really beautiful ceremony. We are so, so grateful for her!

  Excellent experience!

  Deb was the perfect choice for our "just the two of us elopement!" She's such a warm, loving woman and made preparing for our special day seamless. She wrote the most beautiful, meaningful service for us and we couldn't be happier!

  Deb is great!

  It’s not easy finding an officiant who’s willing to drive in the dark to a sunrise elopement ceremony! It was also important to me and my husband that we find an officiant that respected our values and beliefs, so we were very grateful to find Debbie. When our original officiant was unable to make it about 2 weeks before our wedding, Debbie was available on short notice and I am so grateful for that! She is happy to give input and be as involved in the writing of the ceremony as you’d like (or not, I wrote our whole ceremony myself because I had a very specific vision for it and she was happy to accommodate). She was communicative, punctual, and so sweet. Thank you, Debbie!

  Expertly Crafted Vows

  We wanted non-traditional vows that reflected our relationship and family situations. Debbie was understanding and responsive in crafting a tasteful and satisfying ceremony.

  Debbie was awesome. Our elopement was kind of last minute but she was able to accommodate us! From the very first phone call I had with her I knew she was the one. She answered all the questions we had and did not know we needed answered.To top everything off it was going to rain on the day of our wedding and she offered multiple location options to accommodate the rainy weather and did not oppose when we wanted to have our wedding outdoors!

  She was extremely kind and supportive. A few days before my wedding my original officiant told us he couldn’t do the wedding and Debbie almost immediately messaged back after I asked if she could help us out even with it being such short notice. She is amazing!

  Couldn’t be happier!

  Debbie was wonderful and really made our day feel special. She is the sweetest and got along with our families great too! I highly recommend her to anyone looking. We just did a simple by the lake at an Airbnb wedding. She was on time, fun, and professional! Thank you Debbie!

  Thank you Kaitlin!
  I so enjoyed meeting all your family, even your dog! It was a beautiful setting for a wedding.
