Reverend Debra Viola did everything in her power to make our wedding day so special. From the beginning, Rev. Deb "was right there with us," with every decision we needed to make. She helped us to create our ideal ceremony, reflexive of our individual emotions. We decided during our ceremony to send "what we love most about each other," rather then say our vows aloud. This allowed us to feel comfortable during the wedding ceremony, and still communicate our feelings to each other. Most importantly, Rev. Deb gave us a variety of options for how we wanted each step of our ceremony to proceed. She was amazing, and I would absolutely recommend her to future brides.

I was super happy that I found Rev Deb through wedding wire. Her office was close to our house, her charge to perform the service was honest & fair, and she took the time to get to know us and how our relationship has been over the past 15 years. She is such a wonderful woman and I am very grateful & blessed for her being a part of our special day!!
Rev. Deb Viola was terrific! Right from the start, we both felt very comfortable with her, as we discussed the type of wedding ceremony we wanted. She listened to what we had to say and tailored a service that was just perfect for us! She's warm and friendly and makes everyone around her feel welcomed and comfortable. Not only were we thrilled with the ceremony the day of our wedding, but we heard plenty of great feedback from our guests as well. Everyone just loved the ceremony! Thanks, Rev. Deb.
Rev Deb was amazing. All of our guests said it was a great ceremony and asked if we has written it. We fessed up and said no Rev Deb did it all. She listen to all we had to say about each other during our meeting and got it all correct. The one line that keep come up and that there Was a lot of love in the room during our ceremony and that was made possible by Rev Deb. We an not thank her enough for creating a beautiful ceremony that we will never forget Kate and Ron
