Mr. and Mrs. C.
We had the pleasure of being married by Dr. Rev. Deborah Keaton just yesterday in a very intimate ceremony including myself, the photographer, the videographer, Reverend Keaton and her husband. Prior to the ceremony we met Rev. Keaton at a local coffee shop to talk about the details of the ceremony and get to know one another. We had communicated by email before then and filled out an information form including what type of traditions we'd like to include in our ceremony. She also sent questions addressed to each of us about our relationship and the qualities we love about one another. We were to fill them out without seeing the other person's and send them back to her. When we met at the coffee shop we were immediately filled with joy over the kindness, genuineness, and graciousness of Rev. Keaton. She truly walks the walk. We felt so comfortable sharing our love story and talking about what marriage really entails. Fast forward to the ceremony yesterday . . . We were greeted with the same kindness and graciousness, but this time Rev. Keaton's husband was in attendance. Such a beautiful couple. I cannot say enough about our intimate ceremony. I was secretly a little unsure how it would go being so intimate, but let me tell you it was the most special day of my life. Rev. Keaton skipped nothing and we could truly feel the presence of God. We lit the unity candle, did the hand tie, the vows and exchanged rings. The ceremony was completely customized. I was blown away that the last line of our vows Rev. Keaton the exact words Eric (my hubby) had said to me months prior that "there's no storm we can't weather." Very touching and special indeed! I highly (and if there was a word above highly insert here) recommend Dr. Rev. Deborah Keaton if you are looking for a warm, God fearing, gracious, kind loving soul to marry you. We could not be any more happy about our choice and look forward to inviting her and her husband to do a renewing of the vows down the road!!!

Reverend Keaton created an intimate, personal, and enjoyable ceremony for us. We had to plan our wedding in Maryland from Chicago, but she helped make the 600-mile away wedding planning a breeze! We spoke on the phone a few months before our ceremony and again on the day of the ceremony, and after ten minutes I felt like I'd known her my whole life. She is full of amazing energy and clearly enjoys what she does. I cannot recommend her enough - she played a vital role in creating the best day of our lives. Thank you so much, Dr. Keaton!

Rev. Keaton is amazing very professional and made our ceremony one we will never forget! Her personal touch to make us feel very at ease and felt like we have known her for many years. Her message to us was heartfelt and sincere. She was very responsive to our changing venues she’s just a lovely woman of God and I’m glad we chose her and she accepted our request to marry us! I would say I would book her again but our vows we will follow them according to God will and this will last a lifetime! Thank you very much for your excellent care you showed to me and my family during our ceremony much love!!!

Reverend Keaton was outstanding. She came fully prepared and was very professional. She also provided counseling before the ceremony and was very thoughtful. Would recommended because her prices are also affordable.

Reverand Keaton is truly a Godsend! We contacted her pretty late in the process of planning our wedding because our original ideas had to be adjusted and, she was right on board. I expressed the significance of the day, being legally married on my late mother’s birthday and our desire to only have a quaint legal ceremony prior to our destination wedding. She exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did she travel through the inclement weather at midnight to accomodate us because we had a very early flight on the same day we wished to be married, she also took the time to get to know us and she incorporate special moments into our ceremony! She cares and you will feel it.

Love Love Love Rev. Keaton. She is an amazing and lovely minister. She wed us 16 days ago and made our ceremony very personable. We received so many compliments on her. My aunt is a pastor and she even allowed her to be incorporated into our ceremony. The reason I chose her was because the first time we spoke she cared about us. She wanted to know who we were as a couple and as individuals. She wanted to know our love story and why we loved one another. She made the ceremony as religious as we wanted it to be. She incorporated all request we had. I appreciate her so much and am so thankful for you. Thank you for officiating our wedding. We will remember you forever.

If I could give Rev. Keaton a million star rating I would. We choose Rev. Keaton based on reading the reviews. The reviews do not give her justice. We wed on 12/2/2017. She was phenomenal. From our initial phone call you know she is dedicated to her profession. Not only dedicated, she truly cares about you as a couple. She organized our rehearsal. She is thorough with documentation and keen on time. SHE MADE OUR CEREMONY BEAUTIFUL. My husband and I both have her number stored in our phone for further guidance and counseling. She is the epitome of professionalism and a beautiful soul you will not be disappointed.

Rev. Keaton was lovely, everyone had a great time. She is also very responsive and I don't know much about wedding officiants and their pricing but I feel, based on the two other quotes that I got from others before finding her, that she is definitely not doing this for the money and fits in to a budget very well. If I paid her double what I did, I still would've felt it was worthwhile. If you are looking for something short, simple, personal, and very friendly, definitely go with her.

Rev. Keaton is patient, genuine, devoted, and a perfect answer to a bride's desperate prayers. With less than three weeks into my sister’s wedding we realized we needed to find another Officiant. Her busy scheduled sunk our hearts at first but then God stepped in and allowed her to make the necessary changes to accommodate us, and her prior engagement. I found myself the day of, more worried about the time than Rev. Keaton. She came in with a bright friendly smile and displayed such a loving and caring character that melt all the worry I had. My sister‘s wedding day was perfect and it all began with the most amazing ceremony. It was the first time my family members and I met the Reverend, and at the end everyone praised and celebrated the awesome job she did. They even reminded me that I needed to save her contact and give her a perfect review. She took her time and did an amazing ceremony, you would believe she met the bride and groom before. My sister kept repeating how relaxed she felt during the entire ceremony while my brother-in-law still cannot fathom that I did not know her before his special day. Rev. Keaton even took time out to incorporate my sister’s two sons into the ceremony which was more than we asked for. I really believe she’s worth way more that she offers, which is a solid representation that she is doing this for the love of God and people, not money. Please make her your first choice, she will not disappoint. I know I will be sharing her contact with all my family and friends. May God continue to Bless you and your family Rev. Keaton.

Rev Keaton is extremely wonderful. Very professional, was on time, and made our ceremony extremely beautiful. Our small family loved her, and you would think she has known us for long time. A very spiritual person, we couldn't have picked a better officiant than her. My wife just said, she was the right person for us. Either with notice or not, Rev Keaton is the right celebrant for you.

Rev. Keaton is wonderful! She was very friendly and took notes about what type of ceremony that my husband and I wanted. On the day of the ceremony, she met with both my husband and I privately to make sure everything we wanted covered was there and also to make sure that she was pronouncing my name correctly! The ceremony she performed was beautify and original. It didn't feel copied, but specific to us. She had the crowd laughing and everyone thought it was special. She incorporated our written vows, as well as traditional vows. Highly recommend her to perform your ceremony! Thanks again!

Rev. Keaton is a gem! After contacting several different officiants, I came across her information and she answered the phone the first time I called. She was warm, friendly and flexible with our timeline. We even had to change the date and she was very accommodating. You truly can't ask for a better person to officiate your wedding. She spoke as if she'd known us for years! We were both in tears!! My husband and I have attended countless weddings over the years and a pastor who's known both parties since birth may not make your wedding as personal as she did! We are so thankful that God allowed us to have Rev. Keaton officiate our intimate wedding in a local park. She even incorporated our elementary aged son in the ceremony; she's truly called to do this work! It's a day we will always hold dear to our hearts.

Rev Keaton was referred to me by my friend who booked her through Wedding Wire. She kept going on and on about how great she was so I gave her a call direct for my elopement. We never thought she would be able to help us for a 48 hour turnaround, but she asked us if we could be flexible and when we said yes, she said YES! She performed a lovely ceremony for us in a local park. It was just what we wanted, private and personal! Thank you Reverend Keaton you are all that!

She let us know that her schedule was booked but was so kind and worked with us to agree upon a time to take care of our ceremony. She was kind, compassionate, took care of everything and made it a stress-free experience for us! Thank you Rev. Keaton

Reverand Keaton is awesome. We just had a wedding three weeks ago and we could not have asked for a better officiant. She takes what she does seriously she is professional ,compassionate and listens. We also did a couple of pre-marital counseling sessions and she was very helpful. I would recommend Rev. Keaton.
