Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day — where your love is spoken, witnessed, and celebrated.

Terri Jo works with couples who want a ceremony that is personal, romantic, and deeply meaningful — never cookie-cutter or scripted. As an experienced wedding officiant, published writer, and professional presenter, Terri Jo thoughtfully creates fully customized ceremonies rooted in your love story, your values, and the way you show up for one another.

She writes a ceremony gently weaving together the moments, memories, and emotions that brought you here. With warmth, insight, and just the right touch of humor, your ceremony becomes a reflection of your unique connection. Your vows and ring exchange are shaped into words that feel poetic, heartfelt, and entirely your own. Your guests will still talk about your ceremony long after the day is over.

If you’re looking for an officiant who will honor your story with warmth, intention, and heart, I would be honored to connect.

“Every single guest told us how amazing the ceremony was — full of laughs, tears, and so much love.”

Unique and Engaging Ceremony

I was digging through a lot of officiants and Terri Jo caught my eye towards the end of the list (The Knot). The universe urged me to contact her like it was meant to be. I loved how she did a chemistry call with us first, to make sure we vibed. She has a passion for literature and that showed. We loved how she took the lead. She wrote/developed the entire ceremony (unique to us) and coordinated with our other vendors on the big day - it was a seamless experience! During the ceremony, she kept all our guests engaged, interested, and laughing. We, the bride and groom, felt very relaxed at the alter. Even now, guests are quoting back to me their favorite parts of the ceremony. I'm guilty of spacing out during wedding ceremonies I've attended, so I'm impressed that our guests enjoyed it and remember vividly!!

Professional, friendly officiant that I would highly recommend

Terri Jo was wonderful to work with as the officiant for our wedding. Our ceremony was beautiful and Terri Jo wrote an amazing script that felt personal to us. I felt that she did a good job getting to know us through our meetings, both as a couple and as individuals during the zoom sessions. I am not a very good writer, so the worksheets that Terri Jo provided were immensely helpful in writing our personal vows. She was very quick to work in any changes that we made during the writing process. I would strongly recommend Terri Jo as an officiant.

So impressed!

Me and my fiancé didn’t know much about how the wedding ceremony was supposed to go, and didn’t have the time or knowledge to write a ceremony script but we wanted it to be heartfelt and tell our story, so we knew we needed a professional. Terri Jo was perfect! She is organized and such a great writer. She got to know us and our story through individual interviews and wrote our love story for our ceremony. She also tailored our ceremony for our vows and ring ceremony exactly how we wanted it. I would definitely recommend Terri Jo to make your ceremony seamless, touching, and personal.

A Personalized Ceremony - Tailored to your Love Story

My Husband and I hired Terri to officiate our wedding ceremony and she was amazing to work with. Our ceremony felt super personal and one of a kind, because she took the time to get to know our love story and what makes us click as a couple before writing the script. While working with Terri, she helped empower us to create the ceremony we wanted and decide how we wanted it to run, and it was easy to feel confident in the decisions we were making with her expertise in the options available to us as a guide. She was also a great resource in knowing when and where to get a marriage license, what parts of the procession need different music, and other fun touches we could add to make the day more unique. In addition to crafting a beautiful ceremony, Terri was very flexible, allowing us to make very minor edits to the script, and allowing our photographer to snag some photos right after the ceremony before we signed the marriage license, which was so appreciated on a wedding day with such a fast paced schedule. She even mailed the marriage license for us, so that we didn't have to worry about that part of the process. We would recommend Terri to anyone looking for a stellar officiant!

Wedding ceremony

I enjoyed having Terri as our officiant so much! She was amazing. We had the opportunity to talk several times prior to the ceremony so we felt comfortable with her by the time of the wedding. She was so kind, patient and professional. I’d recommend her to anyone planning a wedding. We are not religious and we really wanted a non-religious ceremony and Terri delivered on that, but she is also capable of doing religious weddings if you’re looking for that!
