About this vendor

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.”

Terri was absolutely wonderful to work with and did an amazing job officiating our wedding.

Terri was absolutely wonderful to work with and did an amazing job officiating our wedding. She arrived early, was organized, and helped everything run smoothly. The ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we had imagined for our special day.

Like most weddings, we had a little hiccup—we accidentally forgot our marriage license! I thought my husband had it, and he thought I had it, but it turns out neither of us grabbed it. Terri was incredibly kind and understanding and even took the time to meet with us the next day so we could get everything signed properly.

We are so grateful for her flexibility, professionalism, and the care she put into making our ceremony special. I highly recommend Terri to anyone looking for an officiant!

We Love Terri!

Terri Jo
Terri was an incredible officiant- very professional, organized, kind, and thorough. As a DIY bride I was incredibly nervous about the amount of details I felt I needed to plan for the ceremony, however Terri helped break down the steps into a super easy process and immediately put my mind at ease. I am so happy we partnered with Terri for my big day and couldn't be any happier with how it all turned out. I'd recommend Terri to anyone looking for an officiant who is easy to work with, professional, and organized.

A Truly Magical Ceremony with a Rockstar Officiant

Terri Jo was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she was kind, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. She met with us on Zoom multiple times, stayed active over email, and patiently answered all of our questions.

What made her so special was how much time she took to truly connect with us, learn our love story, and help us tailor the entire ceremony. She included custom messages, references to ancient Sufi poems, and the perfect amount of humor. Somehow, she had everyone laughing and tearing up at the same time. The ceremony was more magical and beautiful than anything I could have imagined.

Even before the ceremony, when things were tense during setup, Terri Jo came up to me, calmed me down, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you both get married today!” That moment meant so much and immediately put me at ease.

The post-ceremony process was also seamless. She handled the wedding certificate and mailed everything herself, which gave us one less thing to worry about.

Thank you, Terri Jo, for being such a big part of our special day. We are truly grateful and would recommend her to anyone looking for a rockstar officiant!

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.
