ABOUT

All faiths.  All couples.  Love is love. 

Non-denominational weddings, elopements and vow renewals.

What are you looking for when you hire a wedding officiant? 

Someone organized, helpful and efficient, knows what they’re doing, is non-judgemental,  personable and warm – with a sense of humour to keep you calm.  All those things matter!  

Your vows are the heart of your day, and they set the tone of your celebration.

I’d be delighted to work with you to create a meaningful and unique ceremony. 

Looking for a quick elopement?  Escape to my country property in the “Nuptials Nook”  for an outdoor ceremony, surrounded by nature.  I’m in North Durham Region, north of Uxbridge, Ontario.

Contact me and we’ll get started on those important words you have to say.

♥ Chaplain Debra

I love what I do!

Debra went above and beyond to make our ceremony special and we cannot recommend her enough. From our first contact, she was warm, knowledgable, professional, and genuine in her approach. Our elopement ceremony exceeded our expectations and was made even more meaningful by a few of Debra’s special touches. We are so happy with how things turned out and cannot imagine a more perfect day! Thank you Debra for your way with words and everything you do.

Debra was our officiant at our wedding July 2023 and we could not recommend her enough. She was extremely organized and personable, helping to keep us on track from the very beginning. She made the whole process very simple and easy and did a great job on the day of completely capturing our vision and our love. Thanks so much Debra for being a part of our special day.
