About Debra G Steber

Enjoy yourself, EXPRESS YOURSELF, Reveal yourself, Share Yourself, KNOW THYSELF, Love yourself, develop yourself, RISK Yourself, Be YoUrSelF , Give yourself !

Welcome to the curious world of WEDDINGS  - At its heart - its thrilling, powerful, emotional and spirited all at the same time. The ceremony is the heart of a wedding - the 20-30 minutes it takes will make everything else possible.

The vows - 'I'    'YOU' and what ever you want to say between the I & You.  I adore You, I want You, I need You, I respect You, I luv U. The list is endless!

My tip - find a celebrant you're comfortable with ... Find one you trust, who you have chemistry with, and one who understands your shared ideas.

Being able to touch other people's lives is my great personal reward of being an Authorised Marriage and Funeral Celebrant. I live and work in the magnificent countryside that surrounds the taree , Wingham, Forster areas -   encompassing the Manning Valley, Great Lakes, Barrington Coast and Gloucester.

If you're seeking a laid back atmosphere & relaxed ceremony ... then I'm the right celebrant for you - mind you being 'casual' doesn't mean you can't have calm elegance and a reflection of your refined tastes.

I have an expertise and passion for ceremony and happily observe traditional rituals and find great join in creating 'new' rituals.

I offer guidance if you need it. I’ve plenty of experience crafting and conducting weddings from elopements through to huge extravaganzas, through all weathers, all times of the day (just before the dawn is a personal fave along with a full moon evening) and I've celebrated in some truly amazing locations.

I strive to give each couple the best experience that suits them - its may hallmark - every journey to marriage is different. I recognise that no 2 couples want the same style of ceremony, but appreciate there's a limit to the number of ways share your eternal affection within a ceremony. My emphasis is always on listening to you and delivering what you want and expect. The legal 'stuff' - well that's a given and my professional responsibility to deliver!

Whether you want it romantic, funny, modern, traditional-ish, or completely off-script, your wedding ceremony is the actual ‘heart’ of your wedding day. I have lots of ideas, inspo, and experience to help you make it feel authentic, emotional, and 100% you …  be it; Traditional with a Twist, Non-Religious & Romantic, Light and Humorous, Cultural or Spiritual, Minimalist and Modern.

I truly love my life’s work and am really passionate in the art of celebrancy – it’s a great privilege because love is amazing and sharing it it is intoxicating. I am grateful to all the couples who have shared that ‘intimate moment’ of “I do” with me

From your first announcement to your family and friends that you are engaged, until the moment on the big day and the excitement of hearing the words “I now pronounce you” and every day in between is very special, but nothing is more special than the words, the sentiments, the milestones, and rituals celebrated on the actual day of your wedding. It’s always a delight to be wishing a couple the best of life’s good things as they enter into marriage.

I never tire of witnessing two people vowing a life of togetherness- today, tomorrow and beyond.

I am highly experienced, well presented and professional.

I will do all the legal paperwork required to register your marriage by Australian Law.

I will provide a table and chair.

I am dedicated to making your ceremony special.

I guarantee your ceremony will be prepared & presented sensitively, sincerely and professionally.

                                        I offer an 'Easy Style' package or a 'Special Touches' package

We all want what we say to be meaningful and memorable – nothing beats that personal touch!

I'm just a phone call away 0428 43 1115

Lauren and Phillip Taree

Hi Deb - we're married!!! Thank you so much. We'll remember it for the rest of our lives. You made everything so special. You captured the two of US perfectly .. soul mates ... yes it was all about the YIN and YANG. Thanks for all the extra special touches and especially our special keepsake keys - we have had them mounted and framed with the poem so that we can look at them everyday and remember our beautiful wedding ceremony.

Claire and Tony Forster

Thanks Debbie for the most perfect wedding ceremony. Everyone loved it. We were so nervous and excited and you made us feel so relaxed. Thanks for helping Craig and the boys with the button holes and remembering to take their sunnies off in the ceremony. You said we would cry and we did! You said we would laugh and we did! You said we should feel like the only two people in the whole world who were getting married on that day and you were right! You made the Nic and Gemma feel so special and they loved doing the sand ceremony. Thank you for the roses you gave our mothers for nanna and grandad who passed away... it was very special for them. Book us in for our 10th Anniversary renewal ... FYI ... we need a baby naming in 5 months time ... yes our honeymoon surprise!!

Courtney and Craig Blackhead

Debra, we asked for a feel good factor and you created exactly that for our friends and our extended families and our community. Special thanks not just for your ideas - you are a very generous and warm hearted person. The coloured ribbon ritual you wrote for us was really lovely and everyone was in tears.(happy tears) Marty said the gold ribbon he tied my hair is more precious than the ring he gave me,because it symbolises everything he wants for me and our life together - "for today, for tomorrow, for ever and always." We know you love your celebrant work and it shows in your dedication and professionalism. Thanks for everything and for being so calm and relaxed and friendly. Our certificate arrived - thanks for being so organised.

Titania and Marty Elands

Dear Debbie, we are so grateful for all your kind messages, notes, beautiful ceremony and for caring for us all the way through our wedding journey. You made our day so special and meaningful tailored to us. You filled us with confidence and a feeling of support. Despite the mud and the rain we will remember mostly the love and the happiness you created for us. "love is a friendship set to music" E.Joseph Cossman

Nathan and Diana Hammonds Farm Taree

From the moment we met with Deb we knew we were in the right hands. She made us completely comfortable and was able to discuss all of our options with us. She explained everything in detail that we needed to do to get the legal side requirements right having both been married more than once before and one of us overseas. We had complete confidence in Debbie creating the ideal ceremony for us and our blended families of adult children and our beautiful grandchildren, We were really thrilled with our day - we really valued Deb's honesty and non-judgemental nature. She is very professional and gave us great practical advice and guidance - shared a few giggles too. The grandchildren loved the bubbles!!

Pam and Geoff Wallabi Point

Debra - thanks for coming to our rescue when our booked celebrant let us down - "we" were obviously "meant to be" in the end because as it was everything turned out "PERFECT" and better than we could have thought. The music you suggested was just perfect, the flags and hooks were perfect, your dress was perfect, the ribbon/knot thingy tying was really special and a surprise and made us both smile and cry at the same time. Andy promises he won't use it in the ute to tie down his esky!! The whole wedding was PERFECT and we couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you - thanks your husband "roadie" for all his last minute help too.

Andy and Emma from Dubbo Taree

TESTIMONIAL “A super service from Deb from the 1st day we contacted her, right thru’ to the moment of “ I now present the newly weds Mr and Mrs Constantine.” Deb was extremely focused throughout, helping us to get exactly what we wanted for our ceremony and then she lent her creative flair and some vision to complete our wedding style with some finishing touches making our day even more fabulous – Thanks Deb Your advertising says “ Nothing is too much trouble” – you certainly delivered.

Love a rural wedding

Hi,

I became a fully qualified and registered celebrant in July 2022 and am so pleased to have a busy 2023/24 . 2025 is shaping up to be busy, and I am excited that I will be able to bring so much more experience to those ceremonies.  Though I do wish more couple would take advantage of the calm of winter and choose to marry over those months. There are so many variations that a cooler temp can add to the wedding style.

Based in Tamworth , a great regional city, I am branching out to regional locations.

I have lots to offer you as a support for your ceremony.

 

Keep in touch

A friendly, fun and down-to-earth celebrant who’ll take the stress out of the ceremony and leave you to enjoy the good stuff.

Hi, I’m Amy

I’m a marriage celebrant, a mum, a British Northerner who ended up calling Australia home, and someone who genuinely loves a good wedding.

I’m friendly, down to earth and definitely not the sort of celebrant who will stand there sounding like I’m reading from a script from 1987.

I'll get to know you a little...how you met, what makes you laugh, the weird little things you love about each other and the stories your mates and family will inevitably bring up when given half a chance.  I'll then script your ceremony so it feels like your story and your relationship infront of your people.

I proper love a good celebration, but I also know that standing up in front of everyone you know and declaring your love can feel like a fairly big deal!  My job is to make you feel comfortable, keep things relaxed, have a laugh when we can and make sure the important stuff is done properly.

There will be happy tears. There will probably be a few laughs. There will definitely be paperwork because apparently the government likes to get involved but most importantly, there’ll be a ceremony that sounds like you.

If you want a celebrant who is professional without being stuffy, organised without being bossy, and genuinely invested in making your day brilliant, I’d love to hear from you.
