Bright Path Ceremonies

ble to review and talk through with her prior to our wedding. Since we had a small wedding, we did not need a rehearsal so she talked through with us about the day and how everything was going to go. It was a wonderful day and we would recommend her to anyone that needs a officiant.

it came out. She interviewed us to get to know us and wrote such a well-crafted and great flowing ceremony. She let us review everything and incorporate our feedback into the final draft. She is so professional and organized and most importantly she really cares and enjoys being an important part of each couple’s special day. We felt it was important to have a ceremony that really captured us, if that’s what you’re looking for Deborah is the perfect officiant for you. She did a great job incorporating our family and also took care of all the logistics with the wedding license (getting signatures and mailing it in).

and I are not the most poised people in stressful situations, but Steven provided constant reassurance and really helped to guide us through everything. Steven has a very calming presence about him and we really appreciated it during all the chaos of the wedding day and rehearsal. I would absolutely recommend using Steven and Bright Path Ceremonies for your event!

emonies and we absolutely loved ours from our recent August wedding. It was personal, yet light and she does w wonderful jobs making everyone feel at ease. We did not want a super traditional ceremony and she suggested a few unique touches, like a hand fasting ceremony, which was perfect. I will say that in all the weddings I have been to I have never heard guests rave about the ceremony, but I have been flooded with compliments on how beautiful ours was. The one thing that Debbie does so well is making everyone feel welcome and part of this monumental and special moment. And for our friends and family, that did not go unnoticed. We loved working with Debbie and I can’t recommend her enough!

different options, helped us narrow in on what was important to us, and helped us through several iterations, not stopping until we were happy with every word! The day of our wedding could not have gone any better, and our guests won't stop raving to us about how much they loved our ceremony! Reverend Debbie rocks! Crystal & MJ

l out a questionnaire prior to writing the ceremony. We really liked this part because it reminded us why we were getting married and why we chose each other amidst the chaos of planning. Our ceremony was so unique and special to us as a couple and our friends and family noted that they really felt the love and who we were as a couple after! She also incorporated pieces about our family and made some great recommendations to make it even more unique to us- we LOVED working with Deb and highly recommend her.

de us each answer a questionnaire which she was able to create our love story to share with our guests. She put such personal touches on our ceremony by including both sets of parents, our entire bridal party and our unity ceremony! So many people said it was one of the best ceremonies that they have ever been too. Everyone was laughing and crying! It was such a wonderful day and I am so happy we chose Deb!

onalized ceremony. She also was very receptive and willing to hear our feedback throughout the process. The love story and wine box/letter ceremony were highlights, and multiple family members and friends approached us during and after our wedding to tell how lovely the ceremony was. We would highly recommend her.

tion, but we felt that we had an opportunity to be true to us and create a personal and memorable ceremony. We interviewed several officiants and after speaking with Debbie on Skype, we felt that she was the right fit. She was warm, thoughtful, flexible and passionate about creating a unique ceremony that told our story. Debbie’s goal is to get to know her couples. We each answered her detailed questionnaire on our own, and then we met with her in person. We felt even better about our choice after meeting her! We discussed our relationship, ceremony vision and its structure. Her suggestions definitely improved the final product. We had a sign of peace (to call back to our Catholic upbringing) and added recognition of our parents, siblings and wedding party. She also suggested an introduction before the processional. When we received the first draft, it made me cry. It was personal and sweet with some funny moments — exactly what I was hoping for. Afterwards, I edited the draft to make it even more personalized. She was open to all of the changes. On our wedding day, many guests told us that it was one of the most memorable ceremonies that they had shared. They thought that it was engaging and just the right length. Our guests loved how personal it was and enjoyed hearing our love story. They learned something new about us and were touched by our relationship. We can’t wait to relive it again when our film is complete! We highly recommend Debbie!

y of us...so unique, personal, intimate and beautiful. When I watched the video of our ceremony, I could see why everyone in our family told us it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had ever been to - it wasn't a typical wedding ceremony, it was ours. It told the story of our past, our present and our future plans together. It was beautiful and I thank Deborah for helping make our special day perfect.

e presented us with unique ideas for honoring our parents, grandparents we lost, our religious beliefs, our love for nature, our passion for art, and most importantly our love for each other. For months Deborah worked with us on carefully honing each word, and line of the ceremony to create something that was beautiful, unique, and special. She found a way to put into words exactly how we felt about each other, what brought us there for that special day, and all of the friends and family who helped get us to that special moment. Everyone who attended the ceremony took note of how well Deborah put everything that is special about our relationship and makes us perfect together into our ceremony. Deborah was professional and coordinated all the details to make our rehearsal, and wedding flow as smooth as possible. If you’re looking for an incredible wedding officiant that not only performs an incredibly touching and beautiful wedding ceremony, but also writes a uniquely beautiful ceremony, look no further than Deborah Belaus of Bright Path Ceremonies

s very calm and patient with all of the last minute ceremony details to be worked out (music, readings, etc.) and a very scattered bride. When it came to designing the ceremony, Debbie has a lot of great ideas and suggestions for making your ceremony your own. It was very important to my husband that we have a very unique and personalized ceremony, which is why we went with Bright Path Ceremonies. Debbie gave us questions to help prompt our ideas, helped us format our ideas into a ceremony that had a nice flow to it, and provided a solid first draft of the ceremony for us to work from. Ultimately, we wrote a lot of our own ceremony, which was exactly what we wanted because the results were intimate and fun. The end results were fantastic! Every single person at our wedding commented to me that it was the most interesting and personal ceremony that they have ever attended. There were tears and laughter from everyone there, and at the end we felt like everyone got to know us as a couple much better. This was all exactly what we wanted and we could not have done with without Bright Path Ceremonies.

remony. She made a love story for us and read it out loud at the ceremony, it was a way for everyone to understand the way my husband and I met and our future goals. I even screwed up with my vow slightly and Deborah just joined in the laughing with everyone else. Not disappointed. It all felt like a real movie. The ceremony was absolutely amazing. Deborah did an amazing job and I will recommend her to all future bride and grooms.

ples!

y; we included our love story, our own vows, a wine box ceremony, and a first drink ceremony. Debbie is also easy to work with and wants to get to know the couple to the best of her ability; she makes it easy to open up and tell her exactly what you want to have in your ceremony. Highly recommended!

her in a panic if she knew how to tie a bow-tie. She was just so approachable and comforting! The ceremony was incredible: our love story really shone through, and it was by far the most personalized ceremony I've witnessed. She was a joy to work with. She was responsive and creative, and she even found a gorgeous poem that highlighted the ceremony. We really lucked out!

that we have the ceremony focus on our relationship, and she made it very personal and unique. She asked us both to fill out questionnaires ahead of time, and then used our responses to write the ceremony. We also liked that we could edit it in advance, so we knew exactly what was going on during the ceremony. We highly recommend Rev. Debbie- very professional, very personal, and no surprises.

religious and we wanted to do something special for our wedding so we incorporated our personalities and wedding party into it by having things such as a hand fasting ceremony, a wine box/love letter ceremony, and we read our own vows. Debbie was great at giving us ideas of what to do and wrote the most beautiful introduction of our love which was read in the beginning. I would recommend her to anyone who is getting married - religious or not - since the ceremony is really the most important part of your day, you really want it to feel right for you and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you for making our wedding absolutely amazing - something everyone will remember for years.
