About
About Authentic Weddings Authentic Weddings is all about weddings done your way — real, relaxed, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect your story, your vibe, and what matters most to you. I’m Debbie George, the voice, heart, and personality behind the officiating. I specialize in creating stress-free, meaningful wedding ceremonies — whether that’s an intimate front-yard micro-wedding, a simple officiated elopement at a location you love, or just the license signing to make it official. What you won’t get from me is cookie-cutter scripts or transactional service — instead you get connection, care, and a ceremony that feels true to who you are. I serve Chattanooga and the surrounding areas with open arms and an open heart. What I Do I guide couples from that first conversation all the way through the “I do” moment — phone, text, or video consult first, custom-written ceremony next, and presence that helps keep your day calm and joyous. My setup options include: Front-Yard Micro-Weddings – A cozy, intentional ceremony in my Chattanooga front yard (arch, seating, and all). Local Off-Site Ceremonies – You choose the place (park, overlook, Airbnb, favorite spot) — I show up with a custom script and full support. License Signing Only – Quick, professional legal signing on my porch if you just want to make it official. Every ceremony I do is written for you — and is designed to reflect your connection and your story, not some template. I take care of your marriage license afterward too.

I researched a handful of officiants and elopement services, but went with my gut feeling and contacted Debbie. It was the best decision! (besides marrying my husband of course. LOL) She was absolutely amazing and one of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met. She wrote a personalized ceremony for us, complete with vows. Every word rang true in our hearts. She made our Valentine's Day wedding so very special. I highly recommend Debbie for your elopement or wedding!

Debbie is very well to work with, we told her what we were looking for even when we didn’t have the complete picture, just some of the pieces. She was able to feel in the gaps in and complete what we wanted. Debbie did an amazing job with our wedding. If you are looking for someone to officiant your wedding we would highly recommend Debbie. We even had a couple of our guest ask us for her contact information for them to get in touch with her to do their weddings coming later this year. Trust us you will be very happy if you pick Debbie to do officiant your wedding. Thank You Debbie! Your are Amazing!
