Weddings Your Way

highly recommend them!

our specific requests and made it a personalized experience. Wedding date of 9/5/2022.

dy until our rehearsal, I could tell just from speaking with her on the phone that she was the officiant for us! She made the vows and verses feel so personal, like she's known us for years. You could tell she put a lot of time and effort into our words for the ceremony. I received so many compliments from guests about how beautiful our ceremony was. I couldn't recommend Wendy more!

all of our questions and concerns. I was so impressed, I already recommended her to one of my bridesmaids!

xpression of Ed and I and our love for each other. So many of our guests raved about you, and you captured their hearts as well as ours. There wasn't a dry eye to be found amongst our guests. You truly have a gift in what you do! #AdamsWeDo

de us feel comfortable. All my conversations with Wendy were so easy, she felt like part of the family! Wendy 'loves love' and it was truly evident in how she officiated our wedding. Through her professionalism, kind heart, and elegant words she made our big day even more special. We couldn't thank you enough!

anyone getting married in the area.

o give us the best ceremony possible. She did not disappoint!

d some great ideas on readings, but we ended up just sticking to the ceremony we composed and he did such a great job. We didn't have a rehearsal, and tons of rain caused a location change and delays, but he was flexible and easy going and everything in our ceremony went perfectly. We got lots of compliments from family on Rick. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Rick and Wendy!

our red flag should’ve been when we met and she stuck us with her drink bill and just left. But anywho, at our rehearsal and through several emails in advance, we had gone over an itinerary I created that included everything. (I’m my fathers son so I’m long story short so bear with me here...) We paid $400 for the officiant, $200 for ceremony programs, $100 for the event coordinator to help with the ceremony in the background and an extra fee for our dj to help with music (as we weren’t provided with possible readings to take place that I came to find out LATER from the weddings your way owner, should’ve been offered) and all were going by the same itinerary my wife and I created. Well, except for the officiant who switched it up last second. When you get married, you normally say “I do” at some point right? Nope. She decided to not do our wedding vows or any wedding vows at all. Skipped our signing of the marriage license and jumped to the unity ceremony. Basically, it was an unorganized mess. No one knew the order and there were awkward spots of scrambling in the silence because the dj didnt even know what was next and had to jump around for the music I picked. On top of all this and the icing on the cake..... SHE NEVER ONCE SAID MY WIFES NAME RIGHT! She only said mine right twice. I wish I was joking but as much as I love a good laugh, it’s not. The only joke was our officiant and how the final outcome was handled. Even proving with emails to the company’s owners what was confirmed to be done, both the officiant and owner acknowledging mistakes were made, and me calling and emailing explaining the severity of this issue... an “I’m sorry, here’s a $200 refund” was the outcome from the owner. No apology from the officiant. So as I wrap this essay up, do your research on who you have announcing you on your big day. In the end I married a woman inspiringly stronger, smarter, and far more passionate than me. Hence why I’m writing this. She deserved better than this company on our wedding day. If you see this review elsewhere, it’s because I’m making it a point to spread the word and rewriting this everywhere would take forever. Cheers!

. The entire thing was very rushed and generic. We sent her an itinerary two weeks before the wedding, including a detailed outline of the ceremony, and she said it looked great, but when it came down to it, she didn’t do it “our way” at all. We wanted to do our vows after my friend did a reading, but she skipped them entirely and went straight to the unity ceremony. We wanted to sign our marriage license during the ceremony but she skipped that too, which threw the DJ off. She also said my name wrong every single time. Unfortunately I can not recommend her as an officiant.

red many vow and ring reading options and can add in any special touches you'd like. She performed our rehearsal the night before as well so we could be prepared with for the actual day. We wanted a very basic ceremony with no readings, sand ceremonies, unity candles, etc - and she still filled the time nicely. We also didn't want any religious references and she followed our requests too.

l and full of life lessons about love and being each others best friend. Everyone commented on how lovely the ceremony was. Wendy was extremely responsive, professional, and did an incredible job.

y had great ideas on how to customize the ceremony, which everyone complemented my husband and I on. Wendy went above and beyond to make everything special and non-stressful for us. I really enjoyed working with her and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant in The Traverse City, MI area.

. You can tell she absolutely loves her job!!! We had so many people comment on what a wonderful job she did during the ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone getting married!

nd I are non-traditional and did not want any type of religious ceremony. He worked with us on making sure the ceremony reflected exactly what we wanted. He e-mailed us several samples of what he has done before, and we were able to use what we wanted and to include other readings that we had found on our own. We met him for the first time at the ceremony rehearsal because we live out of state. He made sure we were happy with everything and the ceremony was exactly what we wanted. Several people who attended commented on the great job he did. The company and Alan were very accommodating and I would definitely recommend them for your wedding!

th Will from Weddings Your Way. Will was very easy to talk to on the phone. He knew what kind of questions to ask me to make sure he was the right fit for our wedding. Along the process Will sent us samples of ceremonies to help us create our own. Weddings Your Way is a perfect name for this company because they literally told us to create what we wanted and send it to them. Will had great stage presence, voice quality and interaction with our guests. He spoke clearly and I could tell it was not the first time he had read our ceremony words. I would recommend Weddings Your Way especially Will, to any bride and groom looking for an officiant in the area!!! Wedding: 06/01/2013

she had no problem with. It was also important to my husband and I that we have a non-denominational wedding, which Wendy was fine with. She was prompt in answering any of the questions I had along the way, and great to work with at the rehearsal and on the day of the ceremony. Would definitely recommend working with this company!

g was a destination wedding, we didn't have the opportunity to meet with Lori prior to the actual wedding. The big problem on the day of the wedding was our ring exchange was incorrect and our vows that we wrote were skipped over. It was a big disappointment.

que.

estination wedding. We really enjoyed having him as apart of our special day.

ches within the ceremony, and she gave us exactly what we were looking for. The entire ceremony was about 20 minutes and each part was written with great care and attention. I would highly recommend checking out Weddings Your Way!
