Rev Deb was raved about by our guests as 'one of the best' ceremonies they have attended. From our initial meeting to our ceremonies end, Rev Deb provided us a feeling of ease (and I was nervous..). She assisted in finding our perfect wedding venue, to our photographer, and allowed us to choose our ceremonial vows. She was accommodating, pleasant, and the best part....we were provided a binder of our ceremony as a gift to preserve the memory. I highly recommend her services for your special day!

From the moment we met Reverend Deb, we knew she was the one to officiate at our wedding. We wanted a spiritual ceremony and she presented us with many options. Our guests raved about how lovely it was. She is such a warm and engaging person and she really got to know us and our story. It was a day we’ll never forget.
Reverand Deb Viola married us at Fox Hollow. She was beyond amazing. We came to her a little last minute after deciding against our originally planned officiant. She was so accommodating and professional. Everyone keeps raving about how great her ceremony was. In such a short time, she was able to personalize the entire ceremony. I could not have asked for a better officiant, and so nice!
Rev. Deb did such an awesome job officianting my wedding a couple of weeks ago. My fiance and I were able to meet up with her a few months beforehand in order to share some details of our relationship with her. She then took what we shared with her and turned it into a very personal ceremony. Also, there was a minor mic issue at one point during our ceremony and she handled it very professionally. I'm so happy that we went with her as our officiant.
Rev. Deb is fabulous! She takes the time to get to know a couple and incorporates little things into the service that give everyone a real sense of who the couple is. You can tell that she truly enjoys what she does and delivers a wonderful ceremony. It was great to be able to work with her to put together a service that incorporated everything we wanted. She gave us choices of material to use and gave us enough time to make decisions and never feel rushed. I would recommend Rev. Deb to anyone looking for a kind, caring, truly genuine person to perform their ceremony. She was wonderful!
