You can count on Wed By Wendy to make your ceremony memorable! 
Happy Brides and Grooms are our favorite kind...

"Wendy, you are amazing!  Thank you so much for handling "the crowd" - ha ha.  We know it was supposed to be us and our parents - but when 40 people were there when you showed up, you didn't even flinch.  You changed the vow ceremony on the fly to accommodate the changes needed to make it more than an elopement.  I don't know how you did it... but we are grateful that you did!!  If you are looking for an officiant who can handle ANYTHING... look no further, people!  Thank you! Thank you!"  DBU and Crowd!  =)  February 2010

"Thank you, Wendy, for the beautiful Christmas Eve elopement in your lovely home.  We know it was last minute - but you still managed to compose personal vows for us that made the ceremony so meaningful and special.  You were so kind and we really appreciate that!"  Mr. and Mrs. L. Hammond.  December 24, 2009.

"Wendy was our first choice, and the best choice we could have ever made!  We needed a minister who could incorporate my Christian heritage and my husband's Native American heritage.  WENDY KNOWS HER STUFF!  She is so well-versed on religions and it was no problem for her to pull it all together.  We will never forget the vows that made us all feel closer than ever!"  Angelica and Colten.  July 2009.

"Our wedding was PERFECT thanks to Wendy.  Her vows were so beautiful and respected the religious differences between my husband's family and mine.  It was complicated, but she pulled it off with ease!  Thanks, Wendy!  We want to renew them in 10 years!"  Doreen and Thomas.  January 10, 2009

"It was everything I dreamed it could be."
Erinn and Tony
November 2008
Clearwater, Florida
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for performing our wedding ceremony.  It was everything I dreamed it could be.  You captured the relationship between Tony and I to a T--and yet you never knew or met us before the ceremony.  One would think, though, that you had known us for years--you have an amazing gift!  And, I cannot tell you the response I have received since then from everyone who attended.  They said it was the most beautiful and touching ceremony they have ever been to (and let me tell you, some of these people have been to quite a few Catholic ceremonies with tear jerkers like Ava Maria and Oh Danny Boy!).  So, thank you again for making our day so special and personalized!

"...you were with us all the way...our ceremony went so smoothly!"
Kelley and Ali A.
August 10, 2008
I just wanted to say thank you, Wendy for helping me with our wedding vows.  Even when I was very nervous, emailed you numerous times and made a few changes, you were very patient with me.  When it came time for our actual ceremony, you were with us all the way!  Our ceremony went smoothly and was done very well.  I just want to give you a special thank you because you were always available to answer my questions, even when you were out of town.  Thank you, thank you, thank you for making me feel so good and at ease.  Last, but not least, when I first spoke to you on the phone, you had wonderful suggestions on how to include our children in the ceremony! 
Love Ali and Kelley

"...our ceremony was beyond perfect and we couldn't be happier!"
Angela and Mark
July 12, 2008
Wendy, thank you so much for the beautiful ceremony you custom created for us.  We were asking for something very unique and unusual, and you listened to what was in our thoughts and in our hearts and put them into vows other officiates would never have been able to write!  Your special talent for understanding your clients ensured that our ceremony was beyond perfect and we couldn't be happier!  Our guests are still talking about how moved they were by the vows and how original the ceremony was.  We're sending our friends your way.  Thank you!

"...you captured our thoughts amazingly well!"

Vanessa M. - Bride to Be
May 1, 2008 (Wedding Scheduled for June)

Wendy,
We received the vows today and I cried through all nine pages. I'm so glad we found you and have the opportunity to have vows custom written for us. What an amazing experience!
Coincidentally, our champagne flutes have a silver band that floats on the stem which is inscribed with "Amor Vincet Omnia" ("love conquers all" in Italian), so we were excited from the very first line of the vow, where you included an Italian quote from Virgil. How perfect? Although we love that quote, we also know that the love behind it requires a lot of dedication. So, when you went right into discussing the friendship and "constant devotion" love requires, you captured our thoughts amazingly well. We also enjoyed how you incorporated water into the ring exchange . . . so beautiful, and so us. Thank you.

If you are looking for a wedding officiant to make your day unforgettable, Wendy is the one for you! We couldn't be happier with her services. We eloped to Sand Key Park - Clearwater Beach for a causal ceremony.. Although we wanted a "no frills" event, Wendy made it memorable with her wonderful presence and PERFECT vows. We are so  lucky to have found her for our special day!

THANKS AGAIN, WENDY!

"She was OUTSTANDING!!!"

Mr. and Mrs. S. Thonotasassa, FL. 

August 11, 2007


We called Wed by Wendy for a short-notice wedding ceremony (how about the NEXT DAY!!). Wendy not only found us a location that was gorgeous (and free, to boot!), she showed up the next morning with custom vows written just for us... and even brought along her own photographer to take some pictures for us! We couldn't have gotten better service if we'd planned for months! She was very personable and she obviously cares for the people she joins together. Want our advice? Look no further! Call her today! THANKS, WENDY!!! LoveU4Ever!

"It was the perfect elopement..."

Lowrey's in Tampa, FL

June 25, 2007


At the last minute, we decided to elope down in Florida and just have 

a reception up north with our relatives.  Wendy not only helped us out with all 

the details and the license information, she opened up her home to us for the ceremony.  

With wood floors, wedding music, beautiful candles and homey atmosphere- we 

had a romantic, private ceremony, which is what we'd hoped for all along.  Thank 

you, Wendy, for making ours a perfect day!

Wendy was EXCELLENT. The cermony was special and her custom vows for
us were very deep. Thank you, Rev. Wendy for making my special day The Best Ever.

When looking for a Officant for our wedding Wed by Wendy just stood out among
the others. What an excellent choice we made. Wendy was professional, friendly
and she truly made our day special.
