Hey there, I’m Deb (she/her)—your go-to LGBTQ+ wedding officiant, ordained minister, and proud wife to Susan (we’ve been together 28 years and counting!).

As someone who knows firsthand that love is love, I’m here to celebrate your story in the boldest, brightest way possible. So if you’re looking for someone who’s been in your shoes, who gets what it means to finally celebrate your love out loud, and who’ll show up 100% as your advocate and hype squad—let’s connect!

Love wins here, always.

Whether you want a ceremony that’s non-religious, spiritual, quirky, themed, lighthearted, or deeply emotional, I’m all in.

I don’t just “allow” you to be yourself—I encourage it. Your wedding should feel like a big ol’ rainbow hug, and I’ll make sure it’s as unique and unforgettable as your love story.   Every couple gets unlimited free consultations (yep, you can call, text, or Zoom as much as you want!), plus a one-of-a-kind, custom-written ceremony that sounds like you—not some generic script.

I’m all about good vibes, big laughs, meaningful moments, and making sure every single guest leaves knowing your love is something special.    

Open & Affirming

LOVE IS LOVE, AND WE ARE OPEN TO ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF RACE, RELIGION OR SEXUAL ORIENTATION
