Debbie was fantastic!! We used her for our Halloween wedding and what she came up with for our ceremony was absolutely perfect! It was the perfect amount of our story, love, witchy...
-ness (which I wanted), and magic. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone! She truly listens and makes your ceremony one to remember!
Also, she understands the assignment to hide when you have your first kiss, so your photographer can get the perfect shot!
We cannot recommend Debbie Koske of Sovereign Spirit highly enough.
I’ve known Debbie for years, and when I started thinking about who I wanted standing next to us during such an ...
intimate and meaningful moment, she was the very first person who came to mind. From the start, it felt completely right.
Debbie has the most incredible energy. She is calming, grounded, spiritual, and genuinely funny in a way that puts everyone at ease. Throughout the planning process, she was thoughtful and thorough. She provided questionnaires, met with us multiple times, prepared drafts, suggested readings, and gently guided us whenever we felt unsure. She made the entire experience feel supportive and intentional.
Our ceremony was completely personalized. Debbie wove in so many small, meaningful details that made it deeply special, while also being mindful not to push emotions too far or overwhelm the moment. The balance she struck was perfect.
Her delivery on the wedding day was impeccable. She found beautiful ways to include our guests so that the ceremony wasn’t just meaningful for us, but stirring and engaging for everyone present.
Despite unexpected challenges she didn’t miss a beat. Her professionalism, warmth, and presence never wavered.
We are so grateful to Debbie for creating a ceremony that felt authentic, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend.
Debra was our officiant on June 7th wedding at Holcomb Farms . She was amazing , she listened to our story, our passions and seamlessly incorporated it in her delivery . It’s not ...
just that we loved it ( first draft that she sent we didn’t ask for any correction, it was just perfect ) , but after the wedding guests praised Debra’s speech . She incorporated my European heritage and my husband’s Hungarian/Irish roots . Also, through all rehearsal dinner and prior to it, Debra walked us to every detail and pointed out things that we never thought off . Without Debra our wedding wouldn’t be complete.
Debbie was my daughter’s officiant two years ago and we were so impressed with her professionalism and her attention to detail as well as her calm demeanor. We could not imagine h...
iring anyone else for our second wedding. During our first interview with her on zoom, we found her to be so in tune to our story. The combination of her personalized questions, her display of laughter and genuine emotions to every detail of our love story was so special. Debbie had never been to our venue, so we invited her to The Boathouse in Tiverton RI . for lunch. Debbie is so conscientious that she sent us a voice text to let us know she may be running 5 minutes late. (though she arrived promptly) Upon her arrival, she immediately loved everything about our venue. During our luncheon, she obtained our matron of honor/best man and all vendors names and phone numbers. We then walked to the waterfront of the venue and reviewed the music and the seating. Debbie was so mindful to be sure to let us know the importance of our children facing their parents’ faces during the ceremony vs our backs. She was simply amazing to each and every detail to ensure that it was as personalized as possible. Before the ceremony started, she asked that we turn and face our family and friends and truly take in the moment. What an “aha” moment that allowed us to stay in the moment and catch our breath…simple beautiful!! As our ceremony progressed, she shared our love story which brought laughter and happy tears to all of us. During the ring ceremony, I was a little frazzled with my “left/right” hand (lol) and Debbie whispered to me “left” and I giggled, and she shared in our giggle. After our exchange of vows, Debbie had told us she would be sure to step to the side of the arbor she was not in our first picture of “Mr. & Mrs.” (another detail that was perfect). Simple a perfect picture to cherish forever! I felt like she became such a special part of our story as she was so present with us every step of the way. The wine ceremony is a very special touch for “New Beginnings” as a couple is a very classy touch. Our release of butterflies was a special moment. If you are looking for an officiant that listens, laughs, and creates the most beautiful memory Debbie is by far the “Best!”
Debbie is a superstar! She just officiated my wife and I's wedding and we cannot recommend her enough. She is fantastic to work with and really took the time to get to know my wif...
e and I before drafting the ceremony script. The ceremony was by far the most complemented part of our wedding day and she definitely deserves all the other kind reviews left here. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
I don't know where to begin with Debbie, she was everything we wanted/needed and more on our wedding day. Debbie really cares for her clients and it shows from the start. She was s...
o kind and patient with us every step of the way. Any questions we had or things we weren't sure of Debbie was able to guide us, even with things that weren't directly related to her role in our wedding day! No matter what she always made sure we knew this was OUR day and nothing else matters but the love between us. Debbie is professional yet fun! She really can accommodate all couples. Debbie will always have a special place in my heart when I think back to our wedding day, and I just can't say enough great things about her.
Debbie was exactly the officiant we were looking for. She was able to provide us with a non-religious ceremony that honored our relationship and felt like us. She made sure that al...
l the elements that were important to us were included, while also being helpful and pointing out even the tiniest of details that we hadn't thought of. It was truly a weight off our shoulders to know that Debbie had all the details covered for our day. We can't recommend her enough, thank you Debbie!
Debbie did such a beautiful job capturing the essence of our journey together in a truly spiritual and meaningful way. She went above and beyond, not only officiating the ceremony ...
but also making sure I was calm and grounded throughout the day. She even hid crystals around the venue and saged the ceremony space, which made the whole experience feel peaceful and centered.
She wasn’t just focused on the ceremony itself—she made sure everything behind the scenes was running smoothly, ensuring everyone knew what to do and coordinating with the vendors. It was clear she genuinely cared about making the day perfect for us. And as if on cue, the wind picked up and a storm rolled in just as the ceremony ended, adding even more beauty to the moment. I can’t thank her enough for all she did; she truly became an integral part of our day and made it unforgettable.
Pick her! We chose Debbie to officiate the ceremony for our destination wedding in the Berkshires after interviewing five officiants via zoom. You know when you meet someone for th...
e first time and you just feel welcome in their presence? That’s Debra Koske. She put our minds at ease concerning this very important aspect of our wedding, the ceremony. She was emotional invested from the start. She cared. We initially chose the “Intimate Ceremony” package because we only had 25 guests, however she went above and beyond. We changed to her “Weddings” offering because she made herself so available to us as things popped up over the months to come before our big day. She customized a ceremony that included everything we wanted and needed by asking amazing questions. She got to know us. Our very personal ceremony included space clearing, blessings, hand-fasting, scripture, and the breaking of the glass. Debbie had a hand in everything from making certain the venue and wedding party knew their places and parts in the ceremony to guiding us through the license process and taking care of those loose ends after we were Mr & Mrs.
Thank you, Debbie! With love, Gina & Jonathan Mednick.
Debbie was such a key part of our day. From our first call, we knew she'd be the perfect officiant. Before, during, and even after our wedding she was 100% present, involved, and o...
rganized in managing our experience. Debbie was collaborative with the other vendors, detailed in her preparation, and guided us through the process every step of the way. She knows exactly what to do for the best photos, what support we'd need for the ceremony, and how to manage guests and family dynamics. We could not have asked for a more memorable ceremony and overall officiant experience. Definitely recommend booking with her for your wedding! Thanks Debbie <3

ble and so meaningful. Her professionalism and ability to help make everything else go so smoothly and help everything flow beyond the actual ceremony is an expertise that didn’t go unnoticed and was beyond appreciated. The best choice possible for one of the most special days of your life.

rds. Debbie took the time to sit with us to get to know us and we were in awed when she presented us with the ceremony, I was overcome with happy tears! . She is very thoughtful and kind, she is such a positive light! She incorporated our love for the moon into our ceremony, as we married under the light of the Hunter's Full Moon. She blessed the wedding ceremony space before we got there, and blessed us by chanting a moon mantra. Our family and guests were enchanted by her words, the moon, the warm fall breeze, and the autumn leaves falling from the trees...
Debbie has a special place in our lives as the witness of our pure love and devotion.

ou can tell that she genuinely cares about her clients/couples and makes them a priority and takes the time to get to know the BOTH of them. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Planning a wedding can be/is stressful, but Deb is MAGIC and is able to alleviate some of that stress any time you meet with her. From checking in to see how you’re feeling leading up the big day and offering ways to alleviate some wedding stress, to ironing out final details, she covers all the bases needed to make your big day go smooth. If you want an officiant that loves love, genuinely cares about her clients, and is detail oriented in the best possible way for your big day, then look no further ❤️. -Bethany Galdamez
Debbie accommodated a last minute request for us- we were so fortunate that she had the time in her schedule. She truly went above and beyond and did more than we could’ve possibly...
imagined and hoped for. From the ceremony script, to rehearsal, to the day of coordination. She truly took the time to get to know us as a couple and made it so personable and special. She gave us tips and pointers for little factors and details we wouldn’t have even thought of and communicated every step along the way from the minute we met till the days leading up to our event. Her office space was warm and inviting, just as much as her presence. It felt like we’ve known her forever. We are so fortunate to be able to have had the pleasure and honor of utilizing her services as our officiant. There wasn’t a dry-eye in the room and one of the biggest feedbacks we’ve received was about how special, intimate, and beautiful our ceremony was. We will always recommend Sovereign Spirit and appreciated the passion she puts into her work.
I truly cannot recommend Debbie enough to anyone who is looking for an officiant for their wedding! Debbie was a huge help throughout the entire planning process and was always acc...
essible to us if we had questions or concerns.
