We are so grateful to have had Wendy with Wendy Duncan Ministries as the officiant for our wedding. From the very beginning, Wendy was incredibly professional, organized, and reass...
uring. Despite our short notice—only about a month and a half before the wedding—Wendy was happy to accommodate our request and made the entire process feel seamless.
Wendy took the time to truly get to know us during a phone call about a month before the wedding and carefully walked us through every step needed to officially secure our union in marriage. All of our questions about the ceremony were answered clearly, and we felt completely at peace knowing this part of our wedding was in such capable hands.
The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful and the perfect length. Wendy thoughtfully catered to our preferences, and the result felt personal, meaningful, and heartfelt. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Thank you, Wendy, for being such an important part of our special day!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding officiant! From the very beginning, she was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, which immediately put us at ease. Her familiarity...
with the venue and the other vendors made a huge difference—everything flowed seamlessly, and coordination was effortless.
Since we were planning from out of state, we especially appreciated how sweet, patient, and helpful she was throughout the entire process. She went above and beyond to guide us, particularly with the filing requirements, making what could have been stressful feel simple and manageable.
On the day of the wedding, she delivered a beautiful ceremony that felt personal, warm, and custom to us as a couple. We’re so grateful for her support and expertise, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant who truly cares and delivers an exceptional experience.

Wendy was incredible. She made sure she got to know my husband and I during our consultation—how we met, what we valued about our relationship, and what we wanted marriage to look ...
like— to ensure our ceremony felt custom and special. She was also our biggest cheerleader. Whether it was my makeup, my husband and his father’s suits, or my dress: she was the biggest fan of it! Above all, she was also our personal expert. Anything my husband and I didn’t know, we felt confident to respond with “let’s ask Wendy.” I don’t plan on ever having another wedding ceremony, but if I could marry my husband again, I’d love for Wendy to help me with that.

recommended from our wedding coordinator and our venue and I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed working with her. She was extremely communicative and really got to know my husband and I before our ceremony to make sure everything was what we wanted. Her kindness and positive energy was the perfect addition to our day. I also appreciated how helpful she was in explaining the marriage license process (again, we’re from out of state!) and made sure that everything was set leading up to the wedding day. After our ceremony, we had at least a dozen guests come up to us and tell us how wonderful of a job Wendy did. She really nailed it and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone that needs an officiant in the area!!

I am so thankful that Wendy was a part of our special day!
My husband and I met Wendy at the Bend Wedding Expo last spring and we immediately clicked. She is so sweet, warm, and ...
welcoming and we knew we wanted to work with her. She was actually the first vendor we hired once we booked our day!
Working with Wendy was streamlined and easy. We had a call with her a few months before our wedding day to connect and get to know one another. After that call, she sent us details on our ceremony script and how to obtain our marriage license.
We had her join us for our rehearsal, which I highly recommend because she helped walk us through all the movements and had great advice on the little details.
She showed up on time and ready to go day of. She was so helpful and sweet. The ceremony itself was absolutely beautiful, and we had multiple guests come up to us afterwards saying how magical it was.
We definitely recommend Wendy to anyone looking for an officiant in Central Oregon.
Wendy, thank you for everything. You were incredible and we are so thankful for you!

Leading up to the wedding, Wendy was incredibly attentive, making sure every detail of our ceremony reflected our personalities and love story. She took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it truly showed in the heartfelt words she spoke during the ceremony.
On the big day, Wendy exceeded all expectations. Her delivery was flawless, and her words resonated with everyone present. We received countless compliments from our guests about how moving and beautiful the ceremony was, and it's all thanks to Wendy.
Not only is Wendy an amazing officiant, but she's also a wonderful person. Her genuine care and dedication to making our day perfect were evident throughout the entire process. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her as part of our wedding, and we can't recommend her enough to other couples looking for an officiant who truly goes above and beyond.

or everyone, and had just hours to pivot plans. All of our vendors worked together and made it happen, and our actual wedding day ended up being a couple hours north in another direction. It was 105 degrees and we were outside the new venue for the ceremony. Wendy was there with a smile on her face, embraced us both and stood directly in the sun to officiate our on-the-fly wedding. She was wonderful and we will be forever grateful for her willingness to help us make this happen. She is the absolute sweetest and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Incredibly responsive, professional and just a genuinely wonderful person. Thank you Wendy! Always a place in our hearts.

Wendy and her partner Paul were absolutely fantastic to work with! The idea of searching for an officiant was originally intimidating to me and I came across very positive reviews ...
online for Wendy, so decided to reach out! I was not led astray, she and Paul surely lived up to all of the positive reviews! The ceremony script they created for us was beautiful, emotional, relatable and also short and sweet, which is exactly what we requested. Paul was our day of officiant and did an amazing job at not only facilitating the reading, but making me and my fiance feel extremely comfortable while reciting our vows in front of a small crowd. Happy tears were shed and it was more special than either of us could have ever imagined. I can't say enough positive things about both Paul and Wendy and highly recommend choosing them to help make your wedding day absolutely perfect! Thank you Paul and Wendy! We will forever be grateful!

Can't recommend Wendy highly enough! Communicative, supportive, willing to give thoughts - a true joy to work with. She also went above and beyond to understand what we really want...

Wendy was an absolute dream to work with. She gave us the chance to write our own vows or use the one that she wrote herself. We opted to use the one that she wrote out and I had t...
o stop myself from bawling. Not only is she professional but she is also passionate about what she does. It is extremely apparent that she cares about the people that she officiates for. Our ceremony was out at Government Cove and we were met with an unexpected wind torrent throughout our whole reception but she trudged through with us and absolutely delivered. My (now) husband and I loved every moment of our ceremony. She also made the wedding license part so easy for us! Thank you so much, Wendy!
