Testimonials

Creative & Memorable! Deb was wonderful. Prior to the ceremony, she took the time to get to know us as a couple, checking in on us every so often to see how we were holding up during the pandemic. The week prior to our big day, I was an emotional mess, and Deb could sense that! Not only did she take my telephone call, but followed-up with us later on that same evening, to discuss our wedding plan – or lack there of, I should say – because which we didn’t even have one at that moment in time! Using her knowledge as an event planner, she gave us some really creative ideas on how to set up the yard, and even offered to arrive early that day, to do a quick “rehearsal” of the ceremony, to put us at ease. The wedding day was an emotional one … I didn’t even get to spend the extra time with her that she had personally carved out for us, but through the madness, Deb remained professional and courteous throughout all of the chaos! Because of the pandemic, and all of its restrictions, we had to cancel most of our vendors, and modify our original plan. We are so grateful that Deborah Hoch of “An Everlasting Memory” wasn’t one of them! Would highly recommend.
– Melonie & Scott

Reliable, Flexible and Kind! Rev. Hoch was great to work with! Plans changed a lot this year due to COVID, and she was willing to work with us every step of the way. While out tiny backyard ceremony was not our original plan, it was perfect, professional and personal. We are also using Rev. Hoch next year for our renewal ceremony!
– Holly S.

Intimate ceremony. We had a small and intimate ceremony and Deb made sure everything was in order from the vows to lighting for the pictures.
– Stephanie F. married on 02/2021

Beautiful experience! Best experience I could of asked for! This officiant was so kind, considerate, and genuine. My wedding got cancelled so many times due to the pandemic, that we decided to get married in our front yard, in terribly cold weather. She performed such a beautiful ceremony personalized to us. We loved her so much we booked her again to do a ceremony/vow renewal for our rescheduled larger wedding so our guest could also witness a beautiful ceremony. Hire her! You won’t be sorry!
– Chelsea P.

Deborah, you did a GREAT job with our wedding! It was the second marriage for each of us and we both have daughters. You came up with a great way of making them part of the ceremony and they each had a part in the vows as well. This made them feel very special as we began our new lives together.
