Weddings with Wenda

I grew up with Wenda as my pastor, so when my husband proposed, she was the first person I thought of. I knew I wanted her to be a part of our joining in marriage. While we prepared and talked about the type of ceremony we wanted, we agreed that the center theme of our wedding would be family. That was most important to us. Wenda was wonderful in our premarital sessions. She always listened openly and took so much care when getting to know us as a couple. I came from a divided home and my parents are now divorced and remarried. My husband's parents are high school sweethearts. We grew up in such different settings, but Wenda stressed the value of both of our upbringings. We spent a lot of time learning our place within our own families and traits of our parents that we wished to bring into our own marriage. I found this so helpful in understanding where my husband and I come from and why we do many things the way we do. It helped us understand and appreciate each other even more. I found the classes so valuable for our relationship. Wenda didn't just read from the standard script that you hear at every wedding. It felt personal, tailored, and familiar, and for our wedding this was exactly the intimate experience we had hoped for. The time and energy she poured into us translated beautifully during our ceremony. My favorite part was the Honoring of the Parents. We had personalized letters we wrote and read to each of our parents in front of our guests. It was so important to pause and thank them for getting us where we are today, holding space for them in our new lives, and moving forward in our new marriage while still honoring them. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. It was truly special. We were married 6 years ago and have had 3 children since. We are also so blessed that Wenda has baptized all of our children and has had a front seat to the most significant days of our lives. It is so cool reflecting on our marriage the past 6 years (although I knew we have a long way to go!) and seeing so much of what Wenda taught us present in our marriage and roles as new parents. We are so grateful for her leadership in our lives!

A beautiful, touching ceremony tailored to the couple with a fun mix of humor added. She’s personable and professional. Kudos to Wenda for making a great wedding memory for family and friends.

Wenda is excellent, so professional yet personality plus! The personalized ceremony was perfect for the couple. If I wasn’t already married I’d get Wenda!

The wedding I attended was wonderful. Wenda presided with a calming, joyful presence. Not only did the marriage messsge inspire the bride and groom , it also engaged the guests to remember their own vows and memories. I would highly recommend Wenda.

Wenda officiated at a wonderful, small wedding in a friend's home. The ceremony was for a mature couple who had come together after several years of corresponding. The ceremony was intimate, personal and lovely. Wenda did such a good job of making everyone feel comfortable and included. Wenda's kindness and professionalism put the bride and groom at ease and made the ceremony enjoyable for all!

We had a unique old fashioned Montana wedding in our home this past March with Wenda officiating. Our wedding was unique as the groom was an American cowboy and the bride a Russian Federation attorney that was on a visa . Wenda added a special vow as part of her service was reflected to the bride in that a portion of the servive was in Russian which made it special for both of us. Wenda adapted to our special wishes and made a very simple wedding a life's highlite for both us and our families. Blessings

The staff at Chico Hot Springs In Pray, MT do a nice job with weddings. I was a guest in the Main Lodge for a Labor Day Weekend wedding. The weather was beautiful and Wenda did great job officiating the wedding at “The Field of Dreams”. She obviously spent time with the couple and had a thoughtful message that was just for them. The most unique part of the ceremony was the honoring of the parents. I had not seen that before. I could tell that the families were touched. If you want a personalized ceremony, Wenda is your gal.

Pastor Wenda Fry officiated my niece's wedding this summer in White Sulphur Springs, Montana. She was terrific ! She arrived prepared with personal knowledge of the bride and groom. She was professional and yet added just the right touch of humor to relax the wedding party. Very impressive ceremony. She was warm and friendly and confident and dressed in the perfect western theme. Wenda clearly enjoys what she does and I highly recommend her.

Pastor Wenda conducted the wedding for my nephew Garrett and his beautiful bride Paula. It was apparent Wenda had spent time with them before their big day, so she could craft a ceremony and message that truly reflected what they wanted. Before the wedding, both Paula and Garrett told me about this wonderful minister they were having, and I could tell they loved the time she took with them. Pastor Wenda clearly understood their hopes and dreams and was able to convert them into a ceremony that made the day special for the bride and groom, and for all of us that love them both.

We first met Wenda over the phone while searching for officiants for our destination wedding in MT. Wenda was wonderful to talk to on the phone, so we decided to meet in person when we were visiting the area. Wenda was very professional and attentive while getting to know us as a couple. We were very impressed with her thoughtful approach to officiating a wedding, and couldn't be happier to have found her. We know she will do a great job for our wedding and for anyone else who is looking for an officiant in the area.

In August my husband Kasey and I were fortunate enough to meet with Pastor Wenda. She came highly recommended to us as one of the best wedding ceremony officiants. Pastor Wenda took the time to get to know us personally and brought where we came from to our wedding ceremony in a refreshing, positive manor. After the ceremony, we had several guests tell us there wasn’t a dry eye but there was also a lot of laughter. They thought it was one of the best ceremonies they’d been to. Just as Pastor Wenda was recommended to us, we highly recommend her to anyone searching for a fun-loving officiant that brings the final touches together on your wedding day.

My Husband and I have now been married for over a year and the time has flown. The first year of marriage is no breeze and has taken some work on our part to get used to this life together. Working with Wenda before our nuptials taught us how to reflect and communicate which has been an important part of our foundation and sucess this first year. These tools along with our Catholic faith have rooted us as a couple and strengthened the bond between us. Thank you to Wenda for starting us on the right path!!

We were so thrilled to get to meet with Wenda this past weekend. You can tell that she really loves the work that she does and wants to help set couples up for success early on in their marriage. In the midst of the chaos of wedding planning, it's so refreshing to work with Wenda to prepare for what comes after the wedding day: marriage! Beyond Wenda's obvious passion for what she does, she has also been great at keeping in touch and has been prompt to respond to my questions which I especially value.

Wenda is a kind light and beautiful soul who is joyfully fulfilling her purpose on this Earth! My husband and I chose to meet with her for our premarital counseling and we are so grateful we did. She introduced us to a unique family approach that I believe helped solidify the foundation of our relationship. Her gentle encouragement, special knowledge and experienced background helped guide us to new perspectives about one another and our families. As a couple who has already been together for 10 years, it was neat to uncover new treasures about each other! If you haven’t had the fortune of crossing paths with Wenda yet, I hope this review will encourage you to reach out. She will go great distances to see that you are benefiting from all that she has to offer. Love to you, Wenda!

Excellent job officiating the ceremony, Wenda! She brought dignity and beauty to the ceremony, and clearly got to know the couple well so it was personalized.

Wanda was so wonderful. Her voice was strong and clear and her message to the bride and groom very spiritual and heart felt. She looked very nice and professional.

Wenda was very kind and fun to work with, and she clearly enjoys what she does. If you're looking for a unique ceremony, Wenda will be your gal.

Wenda made our wedding ceremony more special than we could have ever imagined. It brought God into it perfectly mixed with our own personal vows we had shared with her. The family element she brings to it too is amazing. We had MANY people come up to us afterwords and say it was the best wedding ceremony they have ever been too and was so beautifully done. She respected our wishes of not having the ceremony too long, but she fit in everything that was needed. Working with Wenda before the ceremony was also very beneficial to our relationship and starting a marriage. We are so thankful we had Wenda be a part of our day. This is one of the most important parts of the day and she made it all a dream come true. It wouldn't have been as perfect without her! She will now always be a friend and in our hearts!

We chose Wenda to be our officiant for our June 2019 from the amazing reviews she has on The Knot. After messaging her to ask her a few questions, I could tell she was genuinely interested in being apart of our big day! We are several hours away from each other so when we were able to meet closer to her she was kind enough to come meet us at my fiancé’s parents property where the wedding will be. We talked with her for about a half hour and she was such a caring person and so easy to talk to. We’re excited to continue our journey with her and her guidance to prepare us for our special day. ❤️

Wenda, officiated my son & daughter in law's wedding 2 weeks ago. Wenda was amazing! Kesler & Elli met with her before the wedding a couple times and seemed to be excited about their choice. When we met Wenda she was just so sweet! and became part of our family instantly. After the wedding people were commenting how they loved the wedding officiant. She even had the kids personalize the wedding for the parents too. Highly recommend Wenda for any destination wedding!! <3 Kelly & Bruce

Being the mother of the bride, you want your daughter's wedding to be perfect, and having the right officiant is the key to making that happen. I can honestly say with certainty, that Wenda put her whole heart and soul into creating a ceremony that would touch the hearts of everyone, and she accomplished that and more. She took the time to really get to know my daughter and son-in-law, gave them guidance, and totally took the stress and worry out of how the ceremony would be. It was beautiful, personal, spiritual and just so perfect. From the moment you meet her, you know she is genuine, caring and completely all in. Thank you, Wenda, from the bottom of our hearts. You are awesome!

Wenda was absolutely AMAZING and will be a forever friend of the Heiken’s! The counseling sessions before were so helpful in starting our new life together & our ceremony was by far the most personal and special event that day! Our parents adored the tribute we created for both of them, with the help of Wenda. If you are in search of a caring, welcoming, & truly talented officiant for your wedding you have come to the right place! ❤️

We just recently booked with Wenda for our 2018 wedding . She offers a complimentary interview with all of her couples so we were able to meet over coffee before we booked. We decided to book with Wenda because of her zest for life. It is apparent that she truly loves what she does and wants to help create and be a part of successful marriages. Her values are similar to our own and we cant wait to continue working with her! She shows excitement, takes notes and asks lots of questions. Wenda has made us feel extra special already.

Wenda was fantastic to work with! People still talk about how personal and touching our ceremony was a year later! We absolutely recommend her! The parent tribute was so beautiful!

My husband and I worked with Wenda for two pre-marriage counseling meetings and she put together our wedding ceremony which was then executed by Greg. The pre-wedding meetings were wonderful, they helped us plan our wedding ceremony but also got us in the mindset of becoming a new family of two. We received lots of compliments on our ceremony and how personal Wenda made it for us.

To say that Wenda did a wonderful job in officiating our wedding would be an understatement. From our very first meeting and through to the big day, she took the time to get to know us on a personal level and recognize the small unique characteristics of our relationship. She made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and helped us recognize what each of us could bring to our marriage based on our life experiences. This is something that not only brought us closer during our wedding planning process, but is something that we've carried with us throughout our first year of marriage. What we enjoyed most about our time with Wenda is that she really took the time to get to know us as a couple and as individuals and included this in our ceremony in a really personalized and special way. She also encouraged us to take the time in our ceremony to thank our parents which was something that we are both so grateful for and had multiple guests comment on how meaningful and memorable it was. Wenda did an amazing job making our ceremony personalized and helped to walk us through the whole process with expertise and confidence. We are so grateful for our experience with Wenda and for the time and care she showed us throughout the entire process.

Wenda officiated our wedding last October (today is my wife and my one-year anniversary!). Wenda was kind, easy-going, and professional. The activities we did in our sessions with Wenda before the wedding definitely helped us in our transition into marriage. Thank you, Wenda, for a beautiful, unforgettable ceremony - many people told us it's the best they'd ever seen!

Today is our one-year anniversary, and my husband, Brady, and I have been reflecting a lot on the past year and the role Wenda played in preparing us for both our wedding and our marriage. Our sessions with Wenda before the wedding provided a deeper understand of one another, our families, and our values. Wenda truly helped us customize a ceremony that reflected our relationship and the things that matter most to us. We wrote pieces to honor our families (based on conversations we had in pre-wedding sessions), incorporated special details, and wrote our own vows. Wenda shared our relationship story with our wedding guests and picked a special verse to share that reflected our wedding venue (surrounded by trees and apple orchards). There was a lot of laughter and some happy tears, and it's a day we will never forget. Several people told us it was the most beautiful wedding ceremony they've ever seen - we agree, though we're obviously a little biased :) Wenda is very special to us, and we are SO thankful we chose her to officiate our October 2016 wedding. Thank you, Wenda!

Wenda is able to separate her words from each and every couple. She gets to know them and speaks to the audience about who they are as a couple and how unique their relationship is. She personalizes her weddings and adds a special touch. We loved her!

Our daughter's wedding was all we could've hoped for, thanks to Wenda! She created a warm and inviting atmosphere for this cross-cultural event. The wedding was fun, unique and carried out with caring professionalism. I would highly recommend Wenda who has a heart for couples and making weddings memorable!

As a colleague, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Wenda. I live in Omaha, so while Wenda worked with couples from the Omaha area, including personalizing the ceremony, I then served as officiant. One of the couples was my son and now daughter in law! Wenda is a remarkably caring and compassionate person. She has a great heart for helping couples be prepared as they can be for the commitment of marriage and for creating a meaningful and memorable ceremony. She is a joy to work with!

Wenda did a fabulous job. Our ceremony was personal and unique. She ensured our ceremony was one of a kind and memorable. The counseling session we went through taught both of us a lot about each other. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant!

Wenda Fry made our Ceremony so unique and special! Her approach to Weddings and the tribute to our families made our day so special. There was not a dry eye in the house including our own. All our guests and even the venue owner said it was the most unique and touching Wedding they had seen. Thank you Wenda for being part of such a special day!! We are so glad we had you there with us. You helped make our day beautiful! The Strickers

Wenda officiated out wedding in September 2016, and she truly made it a one of a kind, beautiful experience that my husband and I will never forget. Not only was the ceremony perfect, but the counseling sessions before the big day helped us to break down communication barriers, grow closer, and learn to understand and communicate with each other better. Wenda is a wonderful officiant, counselor, and person in general who truly cared about our big day and wanted to contribute what she could to help make our marriage a success. Thank you, Wenda!

Wenda officiated our October wedding at Lied Lodge in Nebraska City, and we could not have asked for a better person to work with for such a special time in our life! She helped us make our ceremony special, personal, and meaningful. She truly got to know us in our prep sessions leading up to the wedding, and they sessions helped us reflect, honor where we come from, and get ready for our future together. Several guests told us that our ceremony was the most beautiful they'd been to, and my husband and I felt so "in-the-moment" throughout the ceremony because it was so "us." Thank you, Wenda, for all you did to make our wedding - and the time leading up to it - so special!

Wedding service went exactly the way my daughter and son in law wanted it to be. Whimsical, happy, casual, unique serious.... perfect for their personalities. For only knowing them a short time, she read them perfectly. So many guests commented about the heartwarming and contemporary ceremony! Thank you so much Wenda!

If you are looking for a unique yet very personal experience on your big day, Wenda from Healing Streams is the person you are looking for! We had such an amazing experience with Wenda from beginning to end; even though we were planning our wedding from more than 1,000 miles away, she made us feel 100% connected the entire process. Further, through her work and personal experience, she provides great mentorship both individually and as a couple in the days leading up to the wedding, so the big day is truly effortless and full of love. We could not have asked for a better experience and feel so lucky and fulfilled to have worked with Wenda for our wedding. Looking back, she took the necessary time to get to know not just us as a couple, but where we came from, and we know that is truly important when you begin a new life together. We would recommend Wenda to couples in Nebraska, and all over the US ( we live in New York City )! One thing I love about Healing Streams is knowing we can always connect again in the future during our marriage for advice, suggestions, leadership, etc. which is very comforting as newlyweds. We learned so much from Wenda in such a short time about ourselves, we can't thank you enough. THANK YOU WENDA!

Wenda helped make our day so special! She really took the time to get to know us as a couple. She helped us to express our love for one another and made the ceremony so special. The ceremony was magical and full of love and faith.

Wenda's approach was ideal for our wedding. Our guests commented on how personalized our ceremony was and how it was so "us". Her work with us on honoring our parents was invaluable. We are so grateful we found Wenda!

When looking for an officiant to perform our ceremony I we were very nervous because we had many guests and family members of varying faiths who we wanted to feel welcome and comfortable at our ceremony. Working with Wenda at Healing Streams was amazing and she made everything so much more meaningful to us and our ceremony. We were so blessed to have had her help us through the process and consider her a very close friend and mentor <3

Wenda made this experience one of a kind. I wanted something meaningful, not just reciting vows. She not only made it unique but something our families will never forget. She has forever touched our hearts.

Our son and new daughter in law recently married in June with Wenda Fry officiating. This was THE most romantic ,spiritual and beautiful wedding I have ever witnessed! Wenda's pre-marital counseling is special and unique. I believe her method would be truly beneficial for ANY couple entering into the bonds of Holy matrimony. Subsequently, during the ceremony the couple takes time to honor each parent as Wenda believes this is the best start for beginning their life together. When our son honored the two of us it was so special to me and I was so proud to be his mother. THE MOST IMPORTANT part of any wedding is the ceremony itself and the preparations made in regard to the vows. I would recommend ANY couple preparing to enter into marriage contact Wenda Fry at Healing Streams .

Wenda was amazing! We had so many people tell us how personalized and intimate our ceremony was. Some of our guests even told us it was the best wedding they've been too because it was so different than other "cookie-cutter" ceremonies. We wanted a ceremony focused around us as a couple and Wenda spoke to that perfectly!

Wenda did an amazing job officiating our wedding! She helped us come up with something unique and personal, and most importantly of all, helped us to incorporate our families and make it special for them also. We had a great time meeting with Wenda before the wedding to plan and prepare for the big day and our new life together. We got so many compliments from our wedding guests on Wenda and I would definitely recommend her services!

We had a great experience with Wenda. My husband and I learned so much about each other during our counseling sessions; and Wenda helped direct us into creating the perfect wedding ceremony. So many people told us how special and different it was that we honored our parents as part of our ceremony, and we were happy to make our parents even more of an integral part of our big day! We would recommend Wenda to anyone!

Once my husband and I got engaged, we knew immediately that we wanted Wenda to be a part of our special day. Not only to officiate the ceremony but also to walk us through our pre-marital counseling. We can honestly say this was the absolute best decision. Our pre-marital counseling with Wenda was so enlightening and opened up our eyes to what it meant to be starting a new family as husband and wife. The techniques and lessons we learned are still applied and talked about to this day, even after two years of having our first meeting with Wenda. Our wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Wenda structured it in a way that was so fitting to us as a couple and had us honor our families for bringing us to this place. Overall, I couldn't have imagined a more beautiful, amazing, and intelligent woman to help my husband and I through our first steps into marriage. Wenda is family to us now and we love her dearly!

For us, selecting an officiant was definitely an area of planning stress. We wanted our ceremony to have a non-traditional feel, void of all scripture and prayer, that genuinely reflected who we are individually and as a couple. Minutes into our consultation with Wenda our anxiety was calmed, the conversation flowed; nothing felt forced or awkward. It was almost as though we were sitting across the table from an old friend who wanted to know, understand, and be an active participant in our love story. Wenda’s quirky and joyful spirit is matched only by her keen perception and unique ability to pinpoint and understand the underlying dynamics at work in a relationship. Through our time with Wenda, we explored how those dynamics are impacted by the relationships we have with our families. Family is a central theme in Wenda’s teachings and she encourages couples to take a moment during the ceremony to honor their parents. Having lost my father this past year, I knew that the emotions of this would be more than I could bear. Wenda’s compassion and understanding in my decision meant the world, and she helped us build a ceremony that felt right for us. And on our wedding day, Wenda delivered a deeply meaningful ceremony that highlighted the love that we have for one another. We are forever grateful to her and recommend her with our highest regard!

Very easy to work with. Good communication. Our day was absolutely wonderful

I am so glad that we chose Wenda to be our wedding officiant. Our ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch! Wenda did such a wonderful job tying in our passions in life with the sermons she chose. Our premarital counseling sessions were super helpful and so we ended up buying additional sessions to utilize after we got married. One of the great things about those sessions is that they never expire so we can use them when we feel it is necessary to do so. I have already referred Wenda to a couple people because we love her so much!

Working with Wenda was a great experience and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She went above and beyond for us! She made us feel very comfortable during our sessions and helped us find out things we didn't know about ourselves. She also helped us focus on our future together. She did such a good job performing our ceremony as well. It felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal wedding that you just have to sit through. We absolutely loved working with her! It was definitely the right choice for us.

Our ceremony and pre marital counseling was so customized and personal - something we loved! Wenda is the sweetest and if you're looking for something different, she'd be your gal!

I can't say enough about our experiences working with Wenda! Being new to Omaha and not having a home church yet, we were nervous about finding an officiant. Wenda immediately made us feel comfortable with her warmth and caring. Our wedding preparation sessions helped my fiance and I better understand not only our relationship, but also the relationships we have with our families. This added dimension to the marriage preparation process helped us connect on a deeper level, so that we were prepared to step forward as husband and wife. The ceremony itself was personal, beautiful and moving. Wenda completely tailored the experience to our needs, making the ceremony an event that included not only us, but also our family members and friends that were present. If you are hoping for a personalized wedding experience, don't hesitate!

With the help of healing streams, our ceremony was perfect! From taking the time to get to know us personally beforehand to the little details they include and the fact they listen to what YOU want all helped them to go above & beyond for our big day. The ceremony was intimate, personal and to the point (just as we had requested). We even said our vows about a month before our actual ceremony when my grandmother fell ill and we were told she wouldn't make it through the night. One call to healing streams and they were there that night to perform the ceremony so that my Grandma could be a part of our wedding. She even came back to check on my Grandmother. Thankful we found this company & will recommend to anyone in need!!

Pastor Wenda offers an innovative approach in her ceremony. She gives the bride and groom a chance to honor their parents for all the blessings they have been given. At my son's wedding he honored me and his deceased father with not only heartfelt words but with props including a rose, duct tape and a small blow torch. All items were tied to childhood memories. Everyone that attended will truly remember this ceremony with Pastor Wenda. Lois Barker - mother of the groom

Wenda's wedding consultation sessions include a time to talk about and prepare an honoring of the parents and/or families of the bride and groom. To be honest, I was very nervous about addressing our parents during our ceremony. I was fearful of what the honoring would trigger. Could the truth hurt more than help in my family? Speaking the truth on my wedding day actually opened up the doors to new relationships and shed light on issues that needed discussing. The conversations and relationships have continued to grow more than I would have expected from this moment on our big day. Understanding and living in the proper place within my own family has strengthened our marriage and given me confidence in my role as a wife. -Jordan (Bride) The work we did with Wenda gave me a whole new appreciation of my parents as well as Jordan's. I came into a more intimate understanding of my soon to be wife. Her vulnerability in sharing with me only made me love her more. I not only gained clarity of my wife's past but was also grafted into her story through the work. I can't even imagine all of the disagreements we've avoided simply because I understand where she came from, why she is the way she is. We are able to confront our fears and future together, it's the healthy understanding of our past that we have to thank for this. -Caleb (Groom)
