Debbie was absolutely amazing! We used her for our small ceremony as well as our church ceremony. She was early to our wedding and even helped me with my dress. She was genuine from start to finish and wrote the most beautiful vows for us. We would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you Debbie for making our day so special ♥️

Debbie was wonderful over the phone and in person. She was knowledgeable and helpful with our ceremony from beginning to end. We wanted to get married at midnight on NewYears Eve and officially became husband and wife a few minutes later on New’s Day. She made the trip to Chattanooga, TN to make our small intimate ceremony a reality. Thank you so much Debbie and I would recommend Debbie George for the most extravagant weddings to the smaller intimate weddings. Thank you again Debbie 😇
