WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS.
You are planning on being married. How truly wonderful & exciting

Hi, I am Debra Steber, but most of my friends call me Debbie.

  I am an Authorised Marriage Celebrant, appointed to solemnise marriages anywhere in Australia, according to Australian Law. I work mostly in the area around Taree, Wingham and Forster, also known as the Manning- Great Lakes and Hastings region of Northern NSW in Australia.  
   

Celebrants are individuals, and we all differ in our approach and delivery.
As with all things 'wedding' the earlier you book the more opportunity you have of securing the person you want as your preferred celebrant, and the date and time you desire. Saturday afternoons are the most popular time for weddings, and are my most busy. Many clients secure a date 12 to 18 months in advance with me with Fridays and Sundays becoming more popular. I like to leave as much time as possible between each ceremony, to set up, to take my breath, and make sure the scene is perfect before your guests arrive..

I love our rich traditions, associated with wedding ceremonies and adore the wonderful inspirational alternatives now available to us, in celebrating and remembering important times in our lives.

Sometimes in all the planning for your "big day" which can occupy so much of your time, it's very easy to forget about the significance of the ceremony.Your ceremony is your opportunity to say "this is what I love about you, and this is what I promise for the rest of our life together" I'd like to help you create a ceremony which is just as special as your relationship - and help you craft a sentiment which is a reflection of who and what you are together.

 

 

You don't have to write your ceremony. I'll write that for you. But I will encourage you to write your personal commitment to one another. These are your VOWS.
Your ceremony should have meaning for you and not just be a carbon copy of a ceremony I crafted for someone else … unless the words and personality have meaning for you.
After all, there are only three really special words to share,
"I LOVE YOU" but a million ways to say them and share their meaning.
You will be required, by law, to say a few additional words - 'Before all of our gathered witnesses, I ABC take you DEF, to be my lawful Husband/wife. I'll help you to get the balance of personal and legal just right.

 
 
   

I am also known as a civil celebrant, which means I am able to offer a broad range of ceremonies for any time in your life. I like to believe I offer meaningful and individual ceremonies celebrating major life events. I encompass many rituals and celebrations, not just for weddings, but also for Commitment of love, Namings for babies and older children, Reaffirmations and Renewal of Vows, Reflections of Life and for Funeral services.

I am Happy to travel away from the area for celebrations, and charge an additional minimal fee to cover my travel and time. I frequently travel to Sydney, Newcastle and the Gold Coast for ceremonies and occasionally I travel interstate by special request.
