About

I absolutely love capturing and crafting the sweetness of the unfolding of a couple's public commitment. I will help you achieve a creative vision for your ceremony. Whether simple, secular, spiritual, inspirational, or religious, your ceremony is designed to be cherished. I consider words to be poetry, capable of lifting the moments of your nuptials, however embellished you wish them to be. I consider my job to be that of support, inspiration, and incorporating traditional or non-traditional ceremonial components to meet you where you wish to be when you exchange your vows. I help you to feel I'm on your team while preparing during the time leading up to your day and provide an opportunity for an economical and coordinated wedding.

About me and my services

~ I'm a JP welcoming all loving couples based in North Branford, Connecticut, and will travel anywhere in the state as well as New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

~ As an ordained minister, I offer sacred rituals to honor and fit any belief systems, traditions, cultures, or faiths.

~ For those unsure of where to begin or feel overwhelmed as to where to start, I created an online Ceremony Component Form. This helps to narrow down choices and appealing aspects of a ceremony. This enables an overview of possibilities I can help you decide on.

~ I encourage you to take as much time as you need to communicate, with a commitment to being responsive during the journey up until your wedding day to ensure you are absolutely delighted with your ceremony.

~ I work closely and help coordinate with other vendors to help ensure you are as relaxed and present as possible to the joy of your wedding day. I can also recommend other vendors whose work I've admired.

~ I love to hear of your unique love story, helping you to brainstorm, or as I like to say, heartstorm, and tune in to capture the essence of what is most precious about your togetherness.

~ As a seasoned musician who has sung at hundreds of weddings, I offer heartfelt music before, during, and after your ceremony to add an extra level of personalization and emotional impact to your day. Whether you decide to include music or not, celebrating your wedding is done with warmth and caring engagement. I can share song ideas that have heightened many a heartfelt ceremony.

~ I am willing to adjust my fee to help you fit your budget. A 50% deposit holds your date, with the balance due one month before your wedding date.

~ I'd love for you to consider a free in-person consultation via Zoom, FaceTime, or phone.

~ You can visit my website to learn more about me, hear samples of my wedding music, see videos, and see more pictures and testimonials.

Tremendously grateful

We had selected someone else as our officiant a year before the wedding but he ended up having a conflict and wasn't able to officiate the wedding anymore so last minute we reached out to Debra and she was so sweet. She took on the task and made it even more special by helping us customize the ceremony to fit our unique style. She's very respectful, responsive and warm. We would most definitely recommend her because she's truly amazing.

Amazing!!!

Debra was so wonderful to work with. She was so organized, thoughtful and professional. She took the time to get to know us and customize a beautiful ceremony that truly fit who we are as individuals and couples. It brought together our story, our family and those celebrating with us in such a memorable and special way. We appreciated so much her generosity of spirit, compassion and her ability to really listen to us as a couple. We felt like she cared about our ceremony as much as we did. We received so many compliments on her services!

Thank you for helping to make our day so special!

Added extra sparkle to our magical day.

Debra was kind, caring and warm and has a sixth sense that can guide you to making your special day, well, truly special. She is prompt to respond and communicative the whole way through, which is a must, the less stress and concern you have on a wedding day, the better. Her ceremony questionnaire allows you to custom tailor the right content for you. We highly recommend her.
