Deborah Young Testimonials

Deborah Young TestimonialsDear Deborah,

How will I ever find the right words to express to you my gratitude, for making our wedding day the most beautiful day of our lives? There is no doubt whatsoever, that because of the way you personalized every word
of the ceremony to Kirk and I, reflecting on our 23 years together before we finally wed, and making our guests laugh with your clever wit, and cry with your sentimental words and blessings upon us. It was truly an incredible ceremony that words just cannot describe. Unmatched by any other wedding I have ever attended and I know that my guest all felt the same way. Every single person in attendance told us (not to mention all the conversations we overheard) that it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they had ever had the pleasure of attending.

One of my girlfriends said that when she and her husband renew their vows, she want to call YOU! Another said "Oh my gosh, where did you ever find her?"

The best was that several of my husband’s macho friends who attended said that you made them cry! I love it!

I feel so blessed to have found you. I really do feel like it was a divine intervention from the heavens above. I felt drawn to you by looking at your web site, and reading the other wonderful testimonials. Then the moment came when I met you and I knew instantly that you were the one. I would tell EVERYONE who is searching for a wedding officiate who will make their special day a dream come true, and who will make it a very personal and spiritually moving event that neither they or their guests will soon forget, to call you first, and their search will be over. Thank you Deborah! With Love & Gratitude ~ Renee & Kirk


"Deborah, you made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect. Your eloquent delivery of the vows was so touching it captured the heart of every guest. You made us feel so at ease and comfortable we were able to truly focus on the beauty of our union. We will never forget that special day you joined us as one on our journey of life. Thank you so much, you are a true professional in every way!" ~ Bruce & Hope


In the 21 years I have been photographing weddings I have seen countless of ceremonies. The Officiant sets the tone for celebration, whether the couple is traditional, casual or somewhere in between. One of the qualities I love the most about the Reverend Deborah Young is her ability to “read” her couples. She takes the time to get to create a ceremony that captures the couple and how they feel about each other. Each ceremony is unique and always touching. I always come away form her weddings feeling uplifted and joyful. She is by far the best wedding officiant I have ever seen in all my years in San Diego. ~ Cecilia Greene www.photosbycec.com


"In my line of work, I see officiants perform wedding ceremonies every weekend. Rev. Deborah Young is amazing and refreshing. You can't help but to stop and listen to each and every word of the ceremony. It is as if she has know the bride and groom their whole lives. She is personable and a joy to work with. I promise that you will be thrilled with your decision to have Rev. Young as a part of your wedding celebration." ~ Jennifer Gordon, Kissing Kismet Wedding Coordination www.kissingkismet.net
