Amazing ceremony

Rabbi Sara and Rev. Deb officiated our wedding 1/27/24. I am Jewish and my husband is Christian and Without a doubt the best part of our wedding was our interfaith Ceremony! They truly made it so special and everyone was talking about how incredible the ceremony was and that they’ve never seen anything so personal and beautiful. There was no dry eye in the house! They were both extremely communicative and made our day so special and perfect. Highly recommend using both Rabbi Sara and Rev. Deb!

Excellent!

Rev Deb recently officiated our interfaith wedding. From the beginning Rev Deb had such a great energy and her attention to detail was much appreciated. She created a beautiful ceremony combining my Jewish traditions with my husbands Catholic traditions and made everyone feel included. Our guests raved about what a beautiful ceremony it was, and we could not have asked for a better ceremony or officiant!

Rev Deb from Ceremonies of the Heart is fantastic!. She will create a ceremony, together with the Bride & Groom, that will be unique, fun, sentimental, and spiritual. Deb is well spoken , professional, and very easy to work with. Out of all the ceremonies that I have seen & provided music for, Ceremonies of the Heart are the best!..........Ray, Variety Music
