About

The first time I was asked to officiate a wedding was for my child, and I was also asked to keep it a secret from my spouse! The fact that the couple was engaged was no secret, but the wedding was moved up by several months and they decided to spring that fact on their guests as a surprise. I had to keep that fact to myself for months, but it was worth the facial expressions when the ceremony was announced!

As for me, I was immediately hooked. Weddings allow me to bring together my skills of interviewing and writing, my talent of having an announcer voice, and my desire to be surrounded by joy to bear all at the same time. While I spend time writing the ceremony that best captures the wishes of the couple, I never forget that what I'm really doing is helping to turn the page to a whole new chapter of life together. That's an awesome responsibility, and it never gets old for me.

From the iconic Shawangunk Ridge to points throughout the Hudson Valley, joining couples and their families is my honor and privilege. No matter your personal stories, I'll work with you to capture the thread of what brings you together on this special day.

Best officiant in the world

Terence was the absolute best officiant we could have ever hoped for. He got the time to get to know us personally, took care of all the admin stuff, arrived promptly, made everyone feel comfortable. He delivered a beautiful (brief which we asked for) ceremony that was exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend him enough!!!!

We love terence

What a guy! Terence was wonderfully thoughtful with his creation of our ceremony. From his story-telling to his delivery, it was beautifully done and unique to us. He was also a great help with carrying all of our things up the rocky trail to the overlook where we eloped... really a Swiss army knife of an officiant!

Terence Ward
Terence Ward
agent of joy

Terence is a gifted writer whose work has been published as hundreds of newspaper articles and several books, and the skill that's been most important in that work is listening. Terence also grew up in a big family, and learned just how important it is to speak up!

Listening is a sacred act, and essential to telling stories about other people. A wedding is not just a story, it's the story of lives being joined together. That's a story worth telling, and telling in a loud, clear voice that can be heard in the back of the room.
