I don’t even know where to start. Wendy has truly become a close family member. She made this wedding possible and rescued us when other vendors/venues failed us. South Padre Island should look at Wendy’s quick thinking, organizing, and management skills as a reference. She is South Padre Island. She is the Anna Wintour of weddings planning. Wendy is a blessing and a gift. She made my wife’s wedding perfect and impeccable communication skills and commitment. I can write a whole novel about Wendy and the experience we had with her. She’s truly amazing. Also her prices are more than fair. She does this because she loves it. Also Martin is a fantastic!! Amazing photographer.

My husband and I got married in South Padre in 2021( during covid times) Since we were from Houston, we trusted Weddings By Wendi with all her recommendations for photography, caterer, hair/makeup, etc and couldn't have been happier! On our wedding day a storm rolled in causing us to go from plan A to B but her and her team made sure our special day was perfect even with the unexpected weather! Still think about our wedding everyday!

We absolutely loved working with Wendi and Martin for our family photos. They helped us with how to get the best shot while also making sure to get some poses that we wanted. Wendi did amazing getting our almost one year old to smile too! They are kind and great to work with. We cannot wait to hang the photos in our home!

I cannot thank Wendy enough for everything she did to make our wedding day absolutely perfect. I was in the middle of finishing my finals and incredibly stressed, but Wendy took care of every detail and made the entire planning process so easy and stress-free for me. I wanted a micro wedding—something private, intimate, and personal—and she delivered exactly that! The view was breathtaking, and my dream of having a sunset wedding was delivered.

Martin also played a big role in making our day special. He made both my husband and me feel completely comfortable, and we can’t wait to see the photos! I highly recommend!

We were truly fortunate to have had such a flawless day! Wendi was exceptional, and every detail was meticulously planned. From subtle touches to expertly managing challenging guests, she demonstrated remarkable resilience and poise. Her outstanding reputation on the island was evident, as everyone seemed eager to accommodate her requests. Wendi delivers outstanding results, and when she commits to you, she consistently delivers. She and Martin have created a one stop shop, which is perfect for destination or out of town weddings. We are happy to know them and would highly recommend Weddings by Wendi to anyone in the South Texas area and Austin who is planning a wedding soon. Wendi is your go to girl and will make sure your day is as perfect as ours was!!

Wendi and Martin are an excellent team! I had a wonderful experience with both of them. I used them to take my maternity photos and plan my baby shower. I couldn’t say enough positive words about them both. They make you feel comfortable and bring your vision to life. So happy with how everything turned out! Would highly recommend them for photos and events.

I have no words to express how grateful I am for Wendi… from day one she has been helpful, sweet and answered any questions or concerns that I had. She made accommodations for my wedding and made sure that my husband and I felt comfortable and happy with how everything was going to turn out, even my dog was able to participate which was a big deal for me. My wedding day was a dream come true thanks to Wendi, we had beautiful photos taken during the sunset, Martin did an amazing job at taking these photos. I highly recommend Weddings by Wendi

Our wedding came out so stunning. Having Wendi plan out our wedding took so much weight off our shoulders before and during the event. She has a keen eye to every detail and is such an amazing advocate for our vision of how our wedding should look like.
A true wedding planner icon of the island, highly recommend to seek her wedding services.
Also.. the Picasso house is so gorgeous I already miss it.
