Where do I even begin with Wendy? She was an absolute gem as our officiant! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the perfect fit for our special day. Wendy's warmth and professionalism immediately put us at ease during the planning process.
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. Thank you, Wendy, for making our wedding day unforgettable!

Wendy was EXCELLENT! I am so happy that we found her as our officiant for our big day. As an out-of-state bride, I was nervous about finding someone local to officiate. Wendy came 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!!

Her professionalism and knowledge shined the entire time through. We worked with Paul for our ceremony, and he walked us through the dry run and helped prepare us. He kept us running on schedule, everything was beautifully smooth.

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!

Wendy Duncan was an excellent officiant. She took time to get to know us as a couple and sent over a ceremony that has options for us to select. I cried while reading it at my kitchen table. The craftsmanship she puts into making the words fit perfectly really made our day special. I had many guests reach out to let me know how special they thought the ceremony was. Wendy really out did herself. She thought of everything. I would highly recommend her to any couple and any type of ceremony.

Upon speaking and meeting with her, she was all smiles, carrying a natural sense of calm and fun at the same time! Do yourself a favor, and feel confident in booking with Wendy!

Working with Wendy was a wonderful experience from the first phone call to the moment we said “I do.” Not only did she help us manage the details of the ceremony, she provided guidance and direction in getting many of the details sorted and in place prior to the event. She is thoughtful, kind, smart, very organized and went above and beyond in helping us make our event even better than we could have imagined. We highly recommend Wendy and her team if you are in need of an officiant for your wedding.

Wendy was an exceptional officiant. She is a true professional with the biggest heart and warmest smile. We discussed our ceremony early on, and she drafted a document with many options for vows and readings to choose from. She openly accepted any feedback we shared. On our wedding day, she wore a beautiful long black dress, in honor of the black tie dress code. I would choose her again in a heartbeat!

Words cannot describe how much we love Wendy. Our forest wedding venue was evacuated the day our guests were arriving and we were heartbroken. We scrambled to find accommodations for 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!

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 to 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!

We loved working with Wendy. She was so accommodating when we had to postpone due to Covid. When we needed to shift the time by several hours, due to an unexpected venue change, she took it in stride.
She travelled all the way to Eugene, which we were so grateful for. Through out our long distance planning, she worked with us to help us create a very unique ceremony. She even face time practiced with us so we could get the hand-fasting portion just right.
Her cheery demeanor, beautiful writing & speaking, excellent timing & willingness to wear Chuck Taylors at our request went above & beyond. Wendy will forever hold a special place in our hearts and we are deeply grateful she was our officiant.

Wendy provided us the perfect ceremony. She listened to what we wanted, worked with our edits, and wrote and performed the absolute best ceremony. If you want the sweetest, kindest , genuine and the utmost professional person to marry you, then hire Wendy! I am so glad we did.

Wendy was very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. She took time to meet with us in person before our wedding day so we could get to know each other. The ceremony was very well written and she gladly customized it to what we wanted. I would highly recommend Wendy for any wedding or elopement!

We celebrated 50 years renewing our vows on the river in Bend. We are so fortunate to find Wendy Duncan to perform the ceremony. Wendy was sooo awesome to help us organize our special day, everything was perfect, we even had a little sun! Wendy wrote beautiful vows and is an amazing happy person that we now call our friend. Thank You Wendy! Marc & Laura

Wendy is fantastic! It was an absolute pleasure to have her officiate our special day. She radiates warmth and has such great vibes—it really came through during our ceremony. She was very helpful also with knowing what to do with the license and everything like that so we didn’t have to worry about it at all. She is so good at what she does ❤️

Wendy was fantastic. We worked with both her and Paul as a witness and can't recommend them highly enough. She communicated as much or as little as we wanted and was highly professional and fun to work with through the whole process. She was also very flexible and responded to any need we might've had, which we really appreciate.

Wendy was great. She walked us through the process which is foreign to first timers. She sent us a rough draft to ensure we were comfortable with everything and the words alone made me tear up. Most importantly she took care of last stages for filing of the marriage license which again was foreign to me.
We were from an out of state couple who fell in love with the idea of outdoor elopement and she made that dream come true!
