Your Wedding Ceremony, Exactly How You Want It (Zero-Stress)

Wedding Officiant Colorado & Denver

Planning a wedding can feel like a second full-time job (note: see our coordination services to help with that part!). But when it comes time to say "I do"? That’s where Wendee comes in.

After years of experience in the wedding industry, Wendee became an ordained minister through American Marriage Ministries initially to step-in as an officiant if ever needed. Over time, couples began requesting her directly to officiate their ceremonies, inspiring her to create an affordable, officiant-only service. Using a simple "menu" approach,

Wendee provides ceremony wording options for you to choose from, ensuring your ceremony feels personal, meaningful, and uniquely yours. And when the big day arrives, Wendee performs the ceremony herself, making the process seamless and stress-free.

How It Works: The Ceremony Menu

Wedding Officiant Packages

As your dedicated Colorado wedding officiant, we help craft your wedding script, much like ordering your favorite meal. When you book with us, Wendee sends you a simple PDF menu. You get to choose the exact wording for every part of your wedding ceremony.  Here is what you can expect:
  • Total Customization: Mix and match different sections. Want a purely secular ceremony? You got it. Prefer to include religious traditions? Done.
  • Your Vows, Your Way: Pour your heart out by writing your own vows, or take the pressure off and choose from our classic "repeat after me".
  • Personal Touches: Add your own verbiage, inside jokes, or unique twists.
  • The Finishing Polish: Once you pick your favorites, we ask a couple of quick questions to add that final, personal touch. You get a completely customized script that feels exactly "You". No two scripts are ever alike. 

The Nitty-Gritty Wedding Officiant Prices

Pricing, Destinations and Rehearsals

Wendee is also ordained to officiate weddings.  As your go-to Colorado wedding officiant she makes sure every detail is explained up front—so you feel supported from the start.
  • Location-Based Pricing.  Colorado is a big, beautiful state. Wendee's officiating rates are based on the geographic location of your venue, making her the flexible wedding officiant Colorado couples trust for value.
  • Rehearsals.  If you have an event coordinator, they usually run the show! Thus, rehearsals are not included in the standard officiating package. Want her to walk you through it? Yes, she can add a rehearsal the morning prior to the wedding (no afternoon rehearsals, please) for an additional fee, also based on location.
  • Hitting the Road.  We love a good road trip. Just let us know if your venue is located more than 100 miles outside of Arvada, Colorado so we can plan travel.
