"Vows For Love" is a Wedding Officiant Service
I am so honored to serve you . I am Debra Nardi, your wedding officiant , consultant, personal planner, coordinator and confidant, friend and many times, Mother of The Bride!...
I have been coined the "Maestro of Marriages" in the Caribbean in many magazines for over 35 years since 1990 and have united over 6,000 couples in marriage ceremonies throug
hout the Virgin Islands, representing Carnival Cruise Lines. I relocated to the Gulf of Florida, with many beautiful beaches to offer
My former wedding company, "Fantasia Weddings" created destination Fantasy Wedding Ceremonies for Carnival Cruise Lines, with a full production team, including musicians, photographers, videographers, limousines, family receptions, caterers, and florists. I work with our couples to create their entire "vision" of your personal "Movie of Memories" of your Wedding Day that last a lifetime! Background Bio:
While in my island home, the islands of St. Thomas and St. John, US Virgin Islands, I was honored to be approached by Carnival Cruise Lines, one day on the beach while officiating my first wedding for a very simple couple who we still stay in contact today now 30 years later. I was discovered by a scouting director from Carnival cruise lines to form a "joint-venture" wedding program. Back then in 1990, I was the taxi, the officiant, the photographer and florist all in one! Once my creative Fashion background from FIT, (Fashion Institute of Technology) in NYC, "kicked" in combined with all of my prayers of a strong Universal Spiritual/Christian based background, blended with the experience in catering with NY restaurant grand openings and jazz clubs, I found myself living in the Virgin Islands. I began to create more elaborate weddings with my famous "pina colada" wedding cake on beautiful heart-shaped Magens Bay Beach, and started with a small black and white ad in the very back of Brides Magazine. The Vice President of Carnival Cruise Line's food and beverage plus photography program sent out a "scouting agent" to Saint Thomas in search of the perfect wedding officiant to support and create their new Destination wedding program....One that could "multi task"...and they chose me! Later on, Martha Stewart was in all the magazines creating Destination Beach weddings...which once started as two people as an elopement, started families of 25 and more, creating Cathedral like settings on the beach with receptions, steel pan musicians, and draped arched with chairs and conch shell lined aisles. By 1995, Destination Weddings "Exploded" into an industry which then came the coined "Wed-Moon", the honeymoon and wedding on the cruise...which later seemed like an assembly line. Teh, I went on my own creating "Vows For Love", with personal ceremonies. My officiant services became so popular and in demand, that Carnival Cruise Lines and Fantasia Weddings, created an exclusive consecutive 25 years with Best Western Resorts and the surrounding white beaches of the islands, uniting thousands of happy couples in marriage. I learned quickly, to be on my "mark" with my new profession, (as you say) like an archer, and began to developed my own personal forte' of visualizing and customizing the entire wedding from the beginning, ( before the bride walks down the aisle) the most magical part of any wedding, just when the groom turns to see the life partner of his dreams presented as a gift of treasure, a gift in beautiful lace and glistening beads of crystals to finish as a Happy Ending" just as a romantic Hollywood love movie. I am deeply committed to being compassionate to all of our couples personal needs and this success story began when I watched Miss America practice for Her crown and visualizing wearing the Crown everyday until it was placed on the crown of her head. I had a beautiful success story (testimonial) from the parents of a young bride who saw Princess Diana get married. This was her lifes' dream. The parents recorded the ceremony and this little girl grew up watching it until her "Prince" came into her life. I was chosen to perform the ceremony and the letters just poured in at how her childhood dream came true with my services for her. There are countless other stories I could share and will someday in a book. Today....
As your Wedding Officiant, we will continue to co-create “together" you’re personalized, Vows For Love. These vows for love may include blended families of children, pets, loved ones and traditions, faiths, and "same s*x" ceremonies. A ceremony may also include a "Vow Renewal" of parents joining in on the ceremony, a baptism or a release of a "Celebration Of Life" for loved ones. I strongly believe that your "Vows For Love", is the "Diamond" of every wedding- everything else is just the setting! You are the facets of the Diamond. Together, Let us bring "brilliance to your ceremony! “
Vows For Love is a Unique Celebrant service for all occasions. Marriage and all "Ceremonies" are traditionally a rite of passage in life, which has many diversities in which we celebrate today.
