Hi, I’m Rev Deb Vaughan—wedding officiant, storyteller, and your friendly guide through the world of “I do.”
I’ve been marrying couples across Niagara and beyond for over 25 years, crafting ceremonies that are heartfelt, inclusive, and never cookie-cutter. Whether it’s a big celebration, a cozy elopement, or a one-of-a-kind theme wedding (yes, I’ve been known to don a costume or two!), I believe every love story deserves to be honoured with warmth, authenticity, and joy.
When I’m not at the altar or in the garden gazebo at The Wee Wedding Cottage, you’ll find me here at The Hitching Post—my little corner of the internet where I share true wedding tales, helpful tips, and bits of wisdom gathered from a life spent celebrating love in all its beautiful forms.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you find something here that makes you smile, inspires your ceremony, or helps you feel a little more confident on your own journey to the altar.
5 Fun Things About Me
- I’ve officiated everything from elegant vineyard weddings to backyard elopements—and once even as a Harry Potter character. (Wand optional, love required.)
- My little venue, The Wee Wedding Cottage, is a cozy spot in Niagara where big love happens in small, beautiful ways.
- I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that feels like them—whether that’s spiritual, secular, silly, or somewhere in between.
- I have a soft spot for love stories, strong coffee, and spontaneous dance parties in the kitchen.
- If I weren’t an officiant, I’d probably be writing novels, blessing bracelets, or running a full-time kindness club (wait… I kind of already do all that).
