Exquisite!!

Wanda was absolutely amazing! She made our day more special than I could ever have imagined. Wanda was very generous and open with her schedule. She chose vows that were unique to us and came out to us in the freezing cold and snow on December 30th to help make our dream come true. Forever grateful 😊

A beautiful ceremony with Wanda!

I was so glad to find designer ceremonies on wedding wire. We had a great experience with them and recommend their services!! I really appreciated all the time Kevin and Wanda took to take my inquire, have a consultation, and answer my questions. They are very pleasant, professional, organized and friendly. Wanda was a great fit and helped to make our wedding special. Due to Covid, we had an intimate ceremony with just our immediate families, so we didn't have a rehearsal, but Wanda still performed a lovely ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Park Celebration Pavilion. During the ongoing Covid-19 situation, Wanda was very understanding and flexible to make changes to our ceremony package if needed depending on the number of guests we were going to be able to have. This was very appreciated during a stressful time to plan a wedding. Wanda was great with keeping in contact and always very quickly replied back when I emailed her. If you want a simple and straightforward planning process and a beautiful ceremony, Wanda will be a good match!

Personable experience

Wanda is very friendly and accommodating. We met up with her to share our story and it felt very nice and natural. When it came to our ceremony, her speech was very personalized and our family enjoyed it a lot. We definitely recommend hiring her to officiate weddings.

So helpful

Wanda was honestly the biggest blessing during our stressful planning process during COVID. When we were forced to adapt our plans multiple times due to changing restrictions Wanda made a ton of sacrifices and efforts to make our lives easier. Additionally, the personal touch she brought to the ceremony was perfect.

Wanda was wonderful!

Good morning Wanda,

Jenny and I want to thank you most sincerely for officiating our marriage on Saturday. It really was exactly what we had hoped for. A simple, thoughtful service with family and close friends in attendance.

You spoke well and got lots of compliments from the guests both at the service and those who observed from Spain, England and New Zealand.

Thank you again, we have a very special day to remember.

Warm regards,

Ben & Jenny

Professional and Responsive

We enjoyed working with Wanda. She was accommodating, patient, and quick to respond. She waited for us patiently to show up at the ceremony and didn't mention at all that we were over an hour late...(we got caught up in pre-wedding prep). She customized ceremony to us and went with the flow as she was performing it.

Amazing and so accomodating

Wanda is amazing throughout our whole planning process and day of ceremony! I had an awful availability and she was always able to work around to meet with me online to answer my questions. My family and friends loved the ceremony--and especially loved what Wanda presented.

Thank you, Wanda, for being so amazing and making our day extra special!
