    Debra Ann Valentino

    I wholeheartedly recommend Debra Ann Valentino as an officiant for your special occasion. Having had the pleasure of working with her during our ceremony, I can attest to Debra's exceptional skills, professionalism, and the genuine warmth she brings to every ceremony.

    Debra possesses a rare talent for crafting and delivering personal and meaningful ceremonies. She takes the time to truly understand the unique qualities and values of the individuals involved, ensuring that each ceremony reflects their love story. Debra's ability to connect with people personally creates an atmosphere of warmth and sincerity that resonates with both the couple and their guests.

    Vista Events's reply:

    Rachel, it was such an honor to officiate for such a loving, handsome couple. Thank you for honoring both sets of parents, because those gestures filled my heart. I also loved all your choices--especially the groom who was so cute as he married his best friend. Wishing you both every joy, forever.

    Very caring and sincere

    Debra is very detail oriented and deeply cared about our thoughts and feelings. She genuinely wanted to give us the best possible experience. She's much more than an officiant, she did everything she could to make sure we had a wonderful day! Thanks!

    Vista Events's reply:

    I'm so glad everything turned out so well. Your wedding was beautiful in every way that I could see. It was so touching to watch you both enjoying your beautiful love story, and to see your guests enjoying it, too. I'm wishing you every happiness ahead!

    Amazing Officiant!! Highly recommend!

    We met with our officiant Debra the other evening for the first time to start planning our wedding ceremony, and she has already SURPASSED our expectations, even from the first planning meeting!! She was so warm and welcoming as was her husband! You can really tell she loves what she does and excels at it! She puts so much love and effort into her work and into your ceremony to help make it so personal! We can’t wait to see the final results and excited to continue working with Vista Events! We know she will make our wedding day beyond special! Love, Katie and Gary!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you for such a sweet review of our wonderful evening together, Katie! We so enjoyed getting to know you and Gary better before your big day. I couldn’t believe the chemistry we shared. It’s almost like falling in love! And I LOVE these photos, especially the one of you two studying some ideas. 💕

    So much love!

    My husband and I were married by Minister Debra Ann in June of this year. We were looking for a wedding officiant who would work with us to create a custom ceremony that would truly honor our love and the joining of our families! From our very first conversation, we truly felt the love from Debra Ann, and that only continued to grow in the months leading up to our wedding! We can say, wholeheartedly, that in the whirlwind madness of wedding planning (which was all well worth it, for the record), Minister Debra Ann, her excitement, enthusiasm for her craft, and support of us both as a couple and as individuals, truly drove our excitement for our big day. By the time our wedding day finally arrived, we were confident that our wedding ceremony would be our favorite part of the day! You can count on Minister Debra Ann (and Mr. Vista!) to be the biggest fan of your love story, and to help you celebrate all of the little things that make your story unique. If you’re looking for an officiant team who will feel more like family than like a wedding vendor, look no further than Minister Debra Ann and Mr. Vista!

    Vista Events's reply:

    aww, such a cute photo from our rehearsal! I definitely felt all the love coming back to me from you, and still do! Thank you for being such thoughtful, fun and funny clients! We had a blast, and made some great memories. ~ xo

    Absolutely recommend Debra!

    Debra was amazing in every which way!
    Very helpful when it came to personalizing our ceremony and helping us write our vows! She did an outstanding job- we are still getting compliments on our ceremony!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Joey, thank you so much! I am especially happy to hear that you are still getting compliments on your ceremony. Your guests made the return of my mic to the DJ feel like some sort of victory lap; so many people stopped and filled me with praise!! I am so grateful to you and Brandi for such a beautiful celebration. Thank you.

    Everything we could have hoped for and more!

    My now hubby and I wanted to have an intimate ceremony at home to get eloped. We found Minister Debra Ann and right from the get-go we realized that she would be the perfect person to marry us. She was easy to talk to and completely understood what we wanted. She brought up things I hadn't even thought of (like the cake!!!), and a bridal bouquet. We were in touch quite often until the day of. She came to our house with her husband (Mr. Vista), who so graciously took photos and videos of the entire ceremony. When they walked in, we were full of joy and happiness - they went full on with our St Patrick's Day theme and we loved it! They brought little decorations and surprises for us, we were so very grateful for everything. It did not feel like some random people coming in to marry us, they felt like family. We are SO happy that we found them and could not give a higher recommendation. We might even ask them to come back every year to renew our vows ;) THANK YOU Minister Debra Ann and Mr. Vista for making the most important day of our lives absolutely perfect!!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you for letting us shower you with Vista Love! From the first exchange, when I learned this was a secret elopement, I hoped to be that one person, other than Brian, you could share your excitement with. I wanted you to still feel like a bride whose ceremony was complete. Yours and Brian’s trust in me and generosity of spirit allowed everything to come together, as you’ve said, just perfectly! You really made the “lucky charms” theme come to life, and I’m still smiling thinking of the many special moments we shared. Congratulations!

    Debra will be the cherry on top

    Debra is such a loving person. She marries with such love, passion, and met every need we had. My brother passed away a few years ago, and I wanted his son, my nephew, to be a part of our ceremony. Not only did she include him, but Debra said such heartwarming things about my brother during our ceremony. Debra was sure our cherry on top. There aren't enough loving words to describe how good she is. Book her!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you for all your kindness, respect, trust, and appreciation. I'm so glad you two found each other...and ME (!), and gave me the opportunity to make your wedding day magical. It was so great in so many ways. Much love to you both!

    Amazing Officiant!

    Minister Debra Ann is truly such an amazing person. She helped us plan the most beautiful Halloween ceremony. I can honestly say I didn't realize how much went into planning the ceremony but Minister Debra Ann took the reigns and made the experience a truly memorable one. She truly cares about her couples and went above and beyond for us. She wrote the most beautiful memorial for my father as well and she performed such a unique smudging for us. I truly am blessed that Minister Debra Ann has come into our lives she is more then our officiant to us she feels like family. Also, you cant forget Mr. Vista who took the most amazing pictures for us. I would recommend Vista Events to everyone!!!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Wow, thank you for so much love and joy, Jenny! I still remember our initial zoom consultation and then when I returned to the room during our in person Ceremony Planning and you and Peter were agreeing, "I LIKE HER!" And now it feels like we'll be friends forever. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and all the Fall frolicking!

    Thank you, Deborah Ann!

    What can’t we say about Deborah Ann? She’s worked carefully and patiently with us ever since we first met her in December 2019, when we’d thought our wedding would take place April 4, 2020. When the pandemic became what it did, she offered to marry us privately and then return for an official ceremony. We ultimately postponed, but we appreciated the offer. She then waited patiently for us to call her to tell her we’d chosen a new date. When we told her we’d selected October 23, 2021, she was the first to celebrate with us! We picked up all our planning right where we’d left off. She actually made the effort to get to know us and in the end became our friend, not just our officiant. Our wedding was a beautiful affair in the end, largely because of Deborah Ann. Her love story for us was one of the most incredible things we’d ever heard. She helped make that day all the more worth the wait. It was very much “us”, right down to our Oscar presentation to go with our movie theme! Her services truly were a gift for which we can never really say how grateful we are.

    Much love,
    Kristen & Adam

    Vista Events's reply:

    Kristen, what a beautiful synopsis of our extended time together. I have held you and Adam in my heart since the moment you wrote two days after we met, saying that after very careful consideration you both decided you wanted me to officiate, feeling that my "style most closely matches what [you've] envisioned for [y]our ceremony." At that early date, we couldn't have predicted the long road ahead, but to learn in the end that your love story was one of the most incredible things you ever heard humbles me beyond imagination. I loved your movie theme so much, and I appreciate your agreeing to win the oscars as your unity ceremony, in part because in my mind both you and Adam are an award winning couple. It was such a fun ceremony and wedding. Thank you for letting me experience it all with you. Love always, Debra Ann

    A day we’ll always remember

    Debra was very involved from the start and took what I thought was “just the ceremony” and turned it into something special that I know I’ll remember for years to come. Our guest really enjoyed it also, especially the love story. It was nice to have a few laughs to break up usually boring ceremony. We also opted for the memory box which I really like. It was nice looking back at all the keepsakes we’ve collected over the years and to be able to share that with our guest.

    Vista Events's reply:

    Devin, I am so glad I was able to deliver a memorable and meaningful ceremony and love story for you and Calee. Your love story and your guests' enthusiasm for it helped make the ceremony especially fun for me. I, too, will remember this wedding with joy for years to come! 'Love this great ceremony photo! Thank you for a great working relationship and for this kind review.

    Wonderful Chicagoland Officiant!

    Working with Officiant Debra Ann was an absolute pleasure. She worked with us despite the challenge of planning a wedding from another city (our wedding was in Chicago and we live outside of Seattle). She was always prompt and responsive in her correspondences with us, which was helpful given the stress of planning from a distance. Debbie is such a warm and caring person, and she will pour all of herself into making sure that your ceremony is all that you ever dreamed of. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! -Kelly & Brian

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelly, for this kind review. You also were always prompt and responsive. I loved zooming with you and receiving all your wonderfully detailed emails. Big congratulations once again to you and Brian!

    Great Ceremony!

    Minister Debra helped us create a magical ceremony in only 2 weeks as we decided to not let COVID deter our wedding! She made the time to get to know us so that we could feel that weren't just getting a canned program. We would highly recommend her!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you, Dennis! Your ceremony was magical in so many ways, and it seemed that everyone contributed to the joy. I'll never forget it, and how we brought so much beauty to a completely scaled-down event during a pandemic year. It was my honor.

    Book with Minister Debra Ann!

    My husband and I connected with Minister Debra Ann right from the start. She was so flexible during those uncertain times at the beginning of the pandemic and very understanding when we ultimately had to postpone our wedding. During that time, we met virtually with Debra on a weekly basis for couples coaching. It gave us something to look forward to each week and I feel like I learned a lot about my significant other even though we had already been together for several years. It was a unique experience that every couple should consider prior to marriage to get a better picture of how to invest in your relationship. We also got to know Debra very well throughout those coaching sessions. This helped us feel so comfortable with our ceremony when the wedding day came this past November. Minister Debra Ann personalized every piece of our ceremony. She was able to modify some things with short notice when we cut down significantly on our wedding party and guest list in order to respect Covid guidelines. You can tell that she puts a lot of hours and diligent work into making sure your ceremony reflects what you and your spouse truly want. She also files the signed marriage license and takes it to the courthouse after your ceremony. It was so nice not to worry about that when we came back from our honeymoon! We are so thankful to have had Debra as our officiant and we will be keeping in touch with her as we continue on as husband and wife!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you for these beautiful reflections of our heartfelt work together. We accomplished so much and enjoyed fun, laughter and learning every step of the way. It was a dream affiliation, and we even mastered an impressive Savings Challenge, all because you and your husband are so dedicated to the success of your marriage. Congratulations to a remarkable couple!

    Stop your search...

    Minister Debra Ann Valentino is the real deal. When you are selecting an officiant for your wedding, you are choosing someone who will do more than just say a few words and pronounce you husband & wife, as there is much more to an officiant’s role than showing up on the big day. There are many things that go into a wedding (both pre and post ceremony) that you may not think of as a bride & groom, but Minister Debra Ann will leave no stone unturned. Debra is very knowledgeable and well prepared for everything a wedding encompasses. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, consideration and level of care/effort are unparalleled. She will treat you as more of a friend, rather than just a client, which is something I greatly appreciated. If you are looking for an excellent officiant, then look no further!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Ben, this is beautiful and humbling. I love that you say there is more "that goes into a wedding (both pre and post ceremony)" than couples realize, because that's the part they have to trust to me when they aren't even sure I can or will deliver. Thank you for assuring other couples that they can count on me. I have so enjoyed working with you and your beautiful bride, and I truly value all the appreciation and kindness you both have shown me every single step of the way. As John Keats said, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." Thank you for such beautiful memories.

    September 2020 Wedding

    Debra Ann married us on 9/4/20 at Venuti’s in Addison. Throughout the planning period, Debra was always very organized and knowledgeable. She made the ceremony planning easy and fun. The entire ceremony was customized to exactly what we wanted. My favorite part was how she surveyed us separately, and asked us questions about each other. We then heard each other’s responses for the first time during our ceremony. It was a sweet surprise. She also surveyed some of our close family and friends, and asked questions about what they thought of us as a couple. That was also a pleasant surprise!

    With Debra everything is personalized to the couple, and nothing is a one size fits all. She is very personable and wants to get to know you and your SO, and she’ll even remember you after your wedding day!

    Debra also organized the order of the entrance and the recessional and everything in between. She worked with our musician and other vendors to make sure everyone was in sync. All you have to do is give her their names/contact info and she does the rest.

    Several guests at the wedding mentioned after the ceremony how much they enjoyed it. It was exciting and engaging. Some guests didn’t know how we met, and they enjoyed hearing our love story. Others has said it was very personalized and detailed. Even people that knew how we met said they learned something new. When people ask us how we met, we always say “we met at a bar.” However, when Debra shares our love story, you feel like you were sitting at the bar with us watching it all play out.

    Everyone could tell our officiant Debra Ann had put a lot of time and effort into writing the ceremony, and it’s was beautifully delivered. The ceremony was fantastic, and set the tone for the rest of the wedding. Our original wedding was planned for March, but was cancelled due to the shutdown.. this ceremony was well worth the wait! Thanks Debra!!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Kristine, thank you so much for these kind words! I love how your Love Story became one of the highlights of your entire ceremony. It was fun telling it in the intimate space at Venuti's, and I truly could see your guests enjoying it as I told it. I also loved working with all your vendors including your violinist, photographer, and videographer. I am thrilled we accomplished to have a safe and beautiful wedding ceremony during these uncertain times. To feel that your ceremony was "fantastic" and "set the tone for the rest of the wedding," is always our goal; so I am beyond thrilled that we accomplished that for you. Many joys ahead to you and your new husband!

    Lovely Ceremony

    Debra officiated the wedding for my daughter recently. We were pleasantly surprised by how organized and professional the ceremony was. It was entertaining, light-hearted, and uplifting. It fit my daughter and son-in-law well. Debra was very calm and made me feel at ease as we walked down the aisle. Debra is a very kind and caring. I will recommend her anybody looking for an officiant in the future. Thank you for a memorable wedding!

    Vista Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful review, Margaret! You and your family deserve the very best. It was my honor to witness all the love and beauty this ceremony contained. So many tender moments remain memorable in my heart as well (along with a few humorous ones). I'm still smiling thinking of it, and I'm so happy that you are as well.

    One of a kind Love Story

    Wow, what can I say about Minister Debra Ann as our Officiant. Tracy and I had our wedding at Acquaviva Winery on Memorial Day weekend, 2021 and very early on we secured Minister Debra Ann from Vista Events to officiate our ceremony and capture our love story.

    We spoke to Debra Ann a few times over the months leading up to the ceremony. She captured every detail of how we fell in love, everything that is special and important to us and unique bonds we have to our family.

    Our ceremony was incredible, with many special moments surprises and special things she worked in throughout. I’m not afraid to say that this groom was a complete waterworks as she told our Love Story.

    After the ceremony, mosts of our guests came up to us afterward and raved about the ceremony. All night long they were speaking of all that Debra did, and how beautiful and memorable the ceremony was.

    If you want a truly unique and memorable ceremony - something very different from an overly structured, wrote, boring script, something incredibly personal and memorable, absolutely use Debra Ann from Vista Events. However, if you don’t want your guests to cry tears of happiness, laugh together as family and really enjoy and remember the ceremony - GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

    Dave, I can't imagine clients better than you and Tracy. From the moment Tracy said she found me via google to the almost instant booking, I felt a special bond with both of you. It was such a privilege to share in your almost ethereal love story, and then have the opportunity to surprise you both as you often had surprised each other. Your review humbles me, and I am deeply grateful for how kind you both were throughout the entire process. I also loved meeting your vendors, friends, family, and especially your precious "Brady Bunch." I'm so glad you enjoyed your ceremony and working together as much as I did. That you feel your ceremony was 'incredible," pleases me beyond words. Thank you for every kindness, and please accept from me every good wish to you and your sweet, beautiful bride.

    Fun, Humorous, and Genuine

    Debra Ann is a very enthusiastic, detailed-oriented, and knowledgeable wedding officiant. She's experienced and knows every angle of a wedding and ceremony. You don't need to know anything going in, which can be very helpful in the bustle of preparing your wedding. Debra Ann is thorough and a hard-worker and will be extremely detailed in the preparation, drafting, rehearsal, and of course the ceremony itself. Her thoroughness is matched by her cheerfulness, kindness, and great humor. She will infuse levity and lightness and humor into your ceremony seamlessly, if that's what you wish. Debra Ann can do whatever you need and help with whatever you need. A very good choice for an officiant and highly recommended.

    Personalized Love Story

    Debra was an amazing officiant. She is anything but run-of-th-mill; she really took her time to cater the ceremony to our beliefs and created a personalized “Love Story” that was the center of the ceremony. She was flexible with our working schedule and took her time to make sure we had the ceremony of our dreams. Our guest loved the flow of the ceremony; the love story was personable, funny, and detailed giving our guests a snapshot of our lives as a couple. Debra truly goes above and beyond and we would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an elegant yet personalized ceremony.

    Shawn, these words mean so much to me. It is very special to have written your ceremony as if it were as important as my own, and then to have you and Brooke acknowledge my efforts with these beautiful words of your own. Thank you so much! ~ Debra

    Warm, friendly, creative and supportive

    Debra Ann listened to what we wanted to make our ceremony unique to us and our family. She provided thoughtful and creative guidance and was tremendously supportive along the way. Highly recommend!

    Personal and loving experience

    Debra Ann was the minister for my wedding and she also handled our premarital counseling. Even though my wife and I didn't have any major issues to work through, the counseling did help us learn more about each other and grow as a couple. It brought us closer and helped prepare us for being husband and wife. The counseling us gave us a chance to know Debra Ann but more importantly for Debra Ann to know us. One of the services that she offers is a personalized love story. My wife and I were extremely happy with how ours turned out and are very grateful to Debra Ann for spending the time to make our wedding memorable. After the ceremony, we had people asking if she was related to us since she knew us so well. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for our wedding and made our day feel even more special. If you're looking for someone who is loving and caring for your officiant, you've found the right person.

    Vista Events's reply:

    This is such a touching review, Michael. You both made working together one of the highlights of my year. Thank you for the great honor of serving as your premarital coach and officiant. I loved your wedding, and I will always want the very best for both of you!
