    We are 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! Best from Mel + Cam

    Blessed in Bend

    Being new to Bend ,Oregon,I was looking through many sites for an intimate small wedding ceremony options in Oregon. As soon as , I saw Wendy Duncan’s website with her photos . Her presence of happiness and character shined and caught my eye . The decision was easily made to have her guide us through the ceremony. She was so caring ,kind ,and patient with questions, and schedules. I would highly recommend and encourage couples to place her at top of their list for orchestrating their wedding ceremony.

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kingsly! I really appreciate the great review! Hope to see you and Jim around town:) And it was great to see you at your place of work!

    Best Officiant

    Wendy helped us through the wedding planning journey, all the way through the rehearsal, the vows, and so much more. I received wonderful remarks from wedding guests, how eloquently she spoke, the words thoughtfully chosen, and how she presented herself. The ceremony was just how we wanted it. Wendy is so professional, thorough, and kind. We were so happy to have had her support on our big day. She helped us with the marriage license, our rehearsal, our vows, and her expertise came through in all the ways she was there for us. Down to my (bride) pre ceremony panic after realizing the grooms rings among other items didn’t make it to the venue. She truly went above and beyond for us. We are so grateful!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Kylee, thank you SO much for the beautiful review! You and Neil are so great together. It was an honor and privilege to be there with you both on your very special day! WD

    Just Do It!

    Wendy was simply amazing! We booked her sort of last minute, and she was more than accommodating for all of our strange and corky requests. She gave us some templates to build our vows off of, and we were able to take them and run with them. 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!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Awww...thank you SO much, Bruce! You and Anastasiia are magical together! It was a pleasure to be part of your very beautiful winter wedding. Hugs to you both...WD

    Wendy is the best!

    Wendy is the perfect officiant! In our initial conversation she was kind and thoughtful, and she helped guide us to the exact program we wanted. Wendy quickly integrated our feedback on the ceremony into her final plan, which turned out exactly the way we had hoped that it would. She was a fun and calming presence during the ceremony (including when my partner accidentally tried to put my ring on the wrong hand). We completely recommend Wendy if you’re looking for a Central Oregon officiant.

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Sam, thank you so much for the beautiful review! I loved getting to know you and Courtney:) You are smashing together! Love for you was felt by every guest attending! Wishing you all the best!!! WD

    Leigh Ann Lenhart

    I can’t say enough in words about how wonderful Wendy is! But I will try. First of all, she responded very quickly to our request for information, which meant a lot to us! She arranged a meeting over zoom with us so we could get to know each other, and what we wanted in our ceremony. The results were amazing; it was like she paid attention so much to our personal wishes and the crafted a beautiful ceremony from them, combining what we wanted with her expertise. Aside from all of that , Wendy is a very warm, approachable person who really cares. Everyone at our wedding commented on her ease and sweet nature during our ceremony. She just has a way of connecting that is really wonderful. We had an outdoor wedding at Smith Rock, and it got very cold and rained. Wendy made sure everyone was as comfortable as could be expected, and the ceremony went off beautifully, umbrellas and all. If you are looking for a truly wonderful officiant, look no further❤️

    Fantastic Officiant!

    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!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Lia, thank you so much for the amazing review! I really appreciate it! I will forever remember your beautiful wedding gown that meant so much to you:) You and Patrick enjoy your lives together! Love, Wendy

    Wendy wrote a beautiful ceremony and Paul delivered flawlessly

    What a team Paul and Wendy are! Paul was the officiant for our wedding at Sunriver Resort on 7/15/23. He presented the ceremony in a professional, elegant, beautiful manner. The written words of the ceremony were heart warming and genuine, and Paul projected clearly and loudly. Paul had lots of helpful tips for us at the rehearsal! Wendy and Paul were absolutely lovely to work with leading up to the ceremony- responsive, caring, and willing to receive feedback. I would recommend their services a million times over!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Kate, Paul and I thank you for the beautiful review! It was a pleasure to serve you! Wishing you and Neil all the very best!!! Wendy and Paul

    Having Wendy officiate our ceremony was amazing!

    Wendy has been such a pleasure to work with!!! She has been very responsive and flexible even when we changed a location of the ceremony and she had to drive for a couple of hours to get there. She is the most easy going and adventurous officiant I've ever met! We had a winter Wonderland wedding and she went above and beyond to make our day extra special! Her script of our ceremony made me teary eyed, it was perfect from the start and didn't need any changes. I highly recommend Wendy for any wedding, be it a traditional ceremony or an elopment in some crazy outdoor location!!! Thank you Wendy!!!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    Ksenia, you and your daughters looked like something out of a fairytale:) It was such a pleasure to be part of your special day with Bronek! Oregon really delivered on the snowy backdrop. Wishing you and your family all the best!!! Love, W.

    Emma & Tyler 7.2.2022

    Wendy is amazing! Both Tyler and I felt like we had known her for years. We both can't say enough good things. Wendy was so thoughtful and helpful in guiding us through the whole ceremony process, even working with us to incorporate meaningful readings and personal touches to make the ceremony truly our own. Our day was so special and Wendy was a huge part of that. Not to mention she handled the huge thunder, lightening, hail storm that rolled in at the time of our outdoor ceremony like an absolute boss. Thank you so much Wendy!

    Wendy Duncan Ministries's reply:

    The storm was definitely an added touch! Emma, you and Tyler have an amazing story! I know your life will be filled with happiness and laughter! I truly loved being part of it. Wishing you all the very best! WD
