From the moment we met her, we knew Rev. Keaton was the officiant for us. From her warm smile to her efforts to truly get to know us, Rev. Keaton was excellent. Our ceremony had it...

all: laughing, crying, fun stories, pranks, and, most of all, the personal touch. Rev Keaton made us comfortable with the ceremony process from beginning to end.   On top of being a great officiant, Rev. Keaton also provided us with excellent premarital counseling. As a couple, we learned new things about each other, and with her guidance, we could answer tough questions with honesty and mutual understanding. Rev. Keaton was excellent at providing that proper third-party perspective that we may need from time to time. There is no doubt that we are stronger as a couple for going through this process.    Long story short, Rev. Keaton is excellent, and we could not recommend someone more as an officiant and counselor. Thank you for believing in us! Best, The Browns

we'd normal sweep under the rug. I could sit and talk with her for hours. EVERYONE messaged me after the ceremony RAVING about her. I didn't want the ceremony to end. If we're ever issues, we're going right back and counsel with her.

n with a family atmosphere and not a cold person who only told us "now you are Mr and Mrs ...". In the first meeting by zoom we loved Deborah. She is like family, she has a very good vibe and is 100% dedicated to her work. She guides you and she advises you so that your ceremony is what you expect (I don't know about you, but I don't get married every day and I felt a little lost). All the assistants of my marriage adored our choice of offciant. Rev. Keaton, thank you forever for making my day very special. 100% recommended!!!

Our experience with Reverend Keaton was amazing! We do not have a denomination but that was not a problem at all. She was able to customize our experience for us! We spoke several ...

times and after each conversation we felt more sure about our union and ourselves individually...she really has a gift of helping you to become more enlighten as a couple. It helps that she has been married for many years and has experience and spiritual wisdom. She was on time for every call (video and voice) and of course the ceremony. She looked beautiful and gave a message that touched eveyone in attendance. I had many friends say they were so impressed they wanted her information for marriage counseling. She is a gem 💎 with a great mind and heart. We are so grateful to have experienced her services for one of the absolute most amazing days of our lives. ❤

pandemic and protests, we were glad to have her spiritual guidance leading up to our ceremony. It was important for us to have someone to wed us that knew a bit about us and we couldn't have had a better person. She is kind, wise, and warm spirited and she made our intimate ceremony perfect. Thank you!

Rev. Keaton is a class act! She took our wedding ceremony from "booooring" to "the talk of the town". All of our guests asked who she was and how we met her and they wanted a recom...

mendation for future services. She guided us through this process, provided many options, supported all that we desired and planned for the small details. Rev. Keaton was a refreshing minister in this process and we are more than pleased. If you are looking for a personal, customized and intimate ceremony, I would recommend Rev. Keaton a million times.

We are so happy that we chose Reverend Keaton to officiate our wedding on July 22, 2018! From the very start, we liked her warm personality and sense of humor. She took the time ...

to get to know us and listen to our story of how we met. Reverend Keaton personalized our ceremony with what was important to us and happily and readily incorporated our suggestions for changes in the script. During the ceremony she engaged our guests, gave wise advice for us, and even went off script with some timely jokes that got everyone laughing. Some of our friends and family were so impressed with her that they asked for her card, hoping to join her Sunday service! Thank you, Reverend Keaton, for helping make our wedding ceremony truly beautiful and memorable. We highly recommend her to everyone!
