    Thanks Deborah!

    We had planned to have a friend officiate, but as it turns out, he wasn't legally qualified to (didn't meet either of the rules in VA), so we found Deborah about 2 months before the wedding. We explained the situation, and she agreed to perform the legal aspects, so our friend could perform the ceremonial parts. She was super easy to work with and very kind! Thank you Deborah!

    Great Officiant!

    Debbie is so kind and sweet to work with. She takes the time to answer any questions you may have, works with you closely so that your ceremony is just as you want it. She was on time, professional, and takes her time to make the ceremony feel special. Highly Recommend!

    Deb was amazing and helped us have the perfect ceremony!

    We spent some time looking for wedding officiants since my partner and I are not particularly religious and were not getting married in a church but come from religious families. Deb was very receptive of our thoughts and created a ceremony that was perfect for us. She met with us multiple times before the wedding date and helped walk us through the ceremony and make any changes so we could have the perfect Big Day! We would highly recommend her to others!

    One of my favorite couples, ever! Thank you for your kind comments. It was my pleasure to serve as your officiant.
    All the best,
    Debbie

    Excellent service

    Debbie Quam was very professional. She was so flexible during Covid and us having to postpone our wedding. She kept in touch throughout the process and on the day of our wedding she was great.

    Renata & Isaac, thank you for your kind review. it was a pleasure to officiate your ceremony. I wish you both continued happiness and joy in the years to come.

    Debbie was fantastic!

    Debbie was quick to provide us the ceremony we wanted. She met us weeks in advance (we only had a month to plan), and she responded immediately with updates as we requested. She was wonderful at the ceremony. We couldn't have asked for anyone better! Thank you Debbie!

    Hire her she's amazing!

    Due to Covid my husband and I had to postpone our wedding and our original officiant was no longer available which was a blessing in disguise. Debbie is amazing and works with you to give you the wedding of your dreams by letting you customize your ceremony however you want to. Our families loved her and are still telling us how beautiful and personable our ceremony was and that wouldn't have been possible without her. Also, she went to the courthouse for us and we received our marriage license in the mail. I'm telling you, you won't regret hiring her.

    Put us at ease

    My fiance and I planned for an elopement to Williamsburg after many plans fell through due to planning a wedding during a pandemic. At short notice, Debbie was able to get us onto her books and provide us with options for different styles for our civil service. She even offered to help with our vows as well! We are laid back people of few words so this was helpful for us. Debbie's fun personality made her easy to talk to as we were planning and made it even easier when we met her in person the day of the ceremony. She is lighthearted and funny, which helps take the edge off of those day of nerves, but kept it professional when it was time to say our "I do's". Debbie kept a smile on our face the entire time :) After we were married, my husband and I both agreed that she was perfect for us and we couldn't have asked for anyone better to marry us during these crazy times. Thanks Debbie!

    Thank you very much. I’m so glad I was your officiant. It was a lovely day. Your review is more than I expected.
    Happy New Year!!

    I couldn’t live her more. She was wonderful.

    Deborah was awesome. My husband and I had no idea what to have her say or do. We had very basic ideas on what we wanted for our ceremony. She helped us every step of the way and made us feel comfortable and confident with the direction of our ceremony. She even included our kids so they felt apart of it. She did an amazing job and everyone commented on how much they loved our ceremony. If you’re looking for an officiant then Deborah is the one to choose. Thank you so much Debbie!

    Beautiful, Custom Ceremony

    Debbie helped us to craft our perfect day. She took time to get to know us as a couple. She gave us a handful of options for each portion of the ceremony ranging from poetic to succinct, and secular to spiritual. Then she used our choices to draft a script that we could edit in advance of our wedding day. The result was a beautiful script that was unique to us as a couple. She was also professional, polite, and punctual.

    Weddings by Deborah's reply:

    Thank you Jessica! You were a wonderful couple to work with. It was my pleasure to be part of your special day. I wish you & Dean all the best in life.

    Amazing!

    After postponing our wedding, we wanted to still keep our original date. Debbie was very responsive and so easy to communicate with. She helped us create the perfect small wedding at the same place he proposed. You can tell she puts her heart into every ceremony. Definitely a great addition to a special day!

    The Sweetest Officiant

    Deborah has amazing values and is willing to craft a very personalized ceremony script. We love that she gave us options and included us in writing it. She even sent us a draft a couple of months before the wedding so we could continue to make changes and finalize it up until the week of.

    Weddings by Deborah's reply:

    Thank you for the review. It was such a pleasure to work with you. I wish you health and happiness in the years to come.

    Great experiences!

    I get nervous meeting new people but Debbie is awesome, definitely warm and friendly, she made creating our ceremony so easy. If we were unsure of what to do she had plenty of ideas! We loved her knot tying ceremony and did that. The readings she has are beautiful and soooo many options. I am religious and my husband is not but she was able to make a beautiful ceremony for the both of us. We were supposed to have a big wedding but because of corona we had to change our plans and Debbie was super flexible and did our ceremony at my parents home. I am so thankful we found Deborah for our special day!!! We are so happy and can't wait to have her do our vow renewals next year!

    Quick Beach Wedding

    My fiance and I were looking to have a quick beach wedding with just us and our dogs. Deborah was very responsive throughout the whole process. I emailed her and then we set up a time to talk on the phone. My fiance and I went over what we were looking for and after our phone call, she emailed us sample ceremony options. The date we picked initially ended up having a forecast of rain about 3 days out. Deborah was very flexible when we asked to move the ceremony date to a day that would be sunnier as well as our meeting spot for the ceremony. We would highly recommend Deborah!

    Due to the pandemic, our Pastor had decided to cancel on us 3 days before our wedding. I reached out to Deborah and she was there for us right away and made the whole day perfect. We truly are so thankful. She is absolutely amazing!

    Perfect and Beautiful Ceremony

    Debbie was our perfect match for officiating in our wedding. She's easy to work with and she drafted the perfect script for our wedding ceremony. My husband and I aren't religious and we had zero to no experience with wedding vows. She's well rounded and very open minded. She made the experience enjoyable and ideal. We were provided lots of different examples ranging from all sorts of perspectives. Overall, 10 out of 5 stars.

    She was so nice and willing to work with us last minute before our ceremony due to COVID messing with our original plans. She performed the ceremony exactly like we wanted and kept its simple and quick just like we asked. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    One of the most amazing people ever

    There are no words to express how wonderful Debbie is. We needed someone who was okay with not meeting the groom until day of because of military and she was nothing but kind and reassuring. She listens to everything you would like and will write up your ceremony until you think it is perfect. She is an absolute joy to work with and her kindness radiates! Anyone would be lucky to have her!

    Deborah was a pleasure to work with!

    After lots of online research to find a wedding officiant who would fit our needs we luckily came across Debbie. After meeting her in person we knew she would be a great fit; very personable and relatable! Debbie responded timely to all of our questions and was a huge help in guiding us through the ceremony outline seeing as we did not really know what we wanted or where to start. She will share her opinions and offer suggestions, though was open to anything we wanted to add or change in order to make our ceremony feel more like “us.” We would certainly recommend Debbie to anyone in need of a wedding officiant!

    What a loving review! I can’t thank you enough. The pleasure was all mine. I send my best wishes for your future together. Deb
