Hi, I'm Wendee — and I built this ceremony script builder for you.

A little about me

I'm a Colorado-based wedding officiant and microwedding planner, but my heart has always been in the ceremony itself — that quiet, powerful moment when two people stand in front of the people they love and make a promise.

My wedding career started in 1995 as an assistant to two wedding coordinators at Keystone Resort. Since then I've been a full-service wedding planner, an elopement specialist, a teacher-librarian, and an ordained officiant through American Marriage Ministries. I founded my first wedding company in 2001, and I've spent three decades helping couples create small, intimate, joyful celebrations — mostly in Colorado, but I'm always happy to pack a bag.

I believe in doing less, but better. And I believe your wedding ceremony script should sound like you, not a template you found on the internet at 2 a.m.

Why I built the ceremony script builder

Over the years, couples kept asking me the same questions:

• "How do we write vows that don't sound cheesy?"
• "What order does the ceremony actually go in?"
• "Our friend is officiating — can you help them not panic?"
• "We want something spiritual but not religious. Is that possible?"

The answer was always yes — but there was no simple, beautiful, step-by-step tool that walked couples through it. So I built one. For each part of the ceremony you choose the wording that connects with you, make it your own, add your couple's story, and download a polished wedding ceremony script with officiant tips — so a friend or family member who has never led a ceremony can read it beautifully.

Want me to officiate your wedding?

I'd love to. In addition to building this tool, I'm an active wedding officiant based in the Golden / Denver, Colorado area, working with couples who want a ceremony that's warm, personal, and completely tailored to them.

• Fully custom ceremonies written just for you
• A "menu" approach where you pick the wording and tone you love
• Religious, spiritual, secular, modern, traditional, or nature-based
• A professional, calm presence on your wedding day
• Destination and travel weddings — worldwide

A few things that make me, me

• I love the first sip of coffee, fall hikes in the aspens, and loud music in the car (where I absolutely pretend I can sing).
• My standard uniform is jeans, a t-shirt, and flip-flops — but I clean up nicely for weddings, I promise.
• I have a rescue black lab who keeps me company on walks and jogging attempts.
• Fine cheese, crackers, olives, and wine is a complete meal and should be enjoyed weekly.
• My father taught me that the deeper your friendships, the taller you grow. I try to live that way.

Available for weddings — near, far, and everywhere in between

While I'm based in Colorado, I love destination weddings and travel officiant work: mountaintop elopements, beach ceremonies, European destination weddings, or a backyard celebration across the country. I'm available worldwide.
