    Personalized and Perfect

    We found Terry through Pop The Knot and he was amazing for our special day - a true professional. Although not necessary, he met with us to get to know us and personalize the ceremony. I feel so grateful that we found Terry and he was the officiant we chose!

    Wonderful Experience!

    Terrance Brady was our amazing officiant at our golf club wedding in July 2023. When we first spoke with Terrance on the phone while trying to find an officiant, he immediately made us feel special. Terrance showed us how much he loves doing what he gets to do, which really showed in the communication we had with him leading up to our big day and at the actual ceremony. We highly recommend Terrance as your officiant!

    Wonderful Experience

    Terry was truly amazing! He worked with us in including special moments into our ceremony, such as grandparents celebrating their 60th anniversary the day following our wedding! We feel lucky to have found such a great person to officiate our wedding!

    Great experience!!

    Terry was amazing as our officiant. He was fully prepared and ran over everything with us so we would be comfortable. He also took time getting to know us on a personal level and incorporated that into the ceremony. He was super accommodating and was so great to work with. Highly recommend!

    Amazing, worry-free, perfect

    Terry was amazing. Right off the bat he was willing to do a non-religious ceremony for us. He was willing to call us and went through the entire ceremony word for word.
    He gave us opportunities to make the ceremony "our own" and include readings, or blessings that we wanted. He met with us on his own time to get to know us and learn about us.
    He truly was an amazing part of our day and it would not be the same without him.
    We both would recommend Terry 10/10!

    Simple, Sincere and Stressfree

    Terry is a an amazing gem! I decided to have a very small ceremony with just my spouse and his parents. I found Terry online and he was so sincere, caring and friendly via email, that I knew our ceremony would be fun yet meaningful. We chose to wed at a gazebo at a local park, and I just sent the map link and the time to meet us. I texted him when we arrived and he was prompt and professional.
    Terry is truly wonderful and makes the event special no matter where the setting. I highly recommend him if you are looking for an officiant who will work to make your ceremony as perfect as can be. We plan to renew our vows next year at our anniversary/wedding reception, and I will ask him to join us again!

    Wonderful Experience

    Hiring Terry was one of the best decisions decisions we made for our wedding! Our meetings with him before the ceremony were very productive and we felt as if he was part of our family. He executed the ceremony flawlessly and got many compliments from us and our guests. High recommend!

    Genuine Kindness - that is Terry!

    Terrance made our special day much more special. He exudes a genuine kindness, Terry spoke with Emily and I on the phone, and we had corresponded through emails several times. Despite only communicating a handful of times, it was as though we had known Terry for years, like it was a close trusted friend officiating our wedding.

    Cannot say enough good things about Terry!

    Terry was recommended to us last minute after our original officiant backed out. He stepped right in and was so friendly and welcoming. He made the ceremony portion of the planning an absolute breeze! Our guests could not stop talking about him all night. 5/5 recommend!

    Terry is the BEST!

    Our experience with Terry was nothing short of excellent. From day one, Terry was attentive, genuine, and it was clear that he truly valued connecting with us and making sure our vows fit us as a couple. We are so grateful and lucky to have had him as part of our big day. Terry is a professional through and through and you cannot go wrong with having him as an officiant. We appreciate you so much, Terry!

    Look no further...Terry is your guy!

    My fiancé and I were on the fence if we wanted to hire a professional officiant or ask a friend to perform our wedding ceremony. We could not be happier that we decided to have Terry perform our ceremony. Terry was the most helpful piece to our ceremony. He walked us through step by step and helped us answer silly questions like "Do we say my full name during the ceremony or my nickname that everyone calls me".

    I would 100% suggest meeting with Terry before your ceremony. This was the most comforting meeting that we had before our big day. We knew exactly what to expect and who to expect. I could not have imagined having someone marry us who we met 5 minutes before the ceremony.

    I can not recommend Terry enough and am so glad that he is the person who is in our ceremony pictures that we will cherish forever.

    Best Officiant Ever!

    We are so happy we found Terry to marry us! He made us feel so comfortable FaceTimeing and meeting up in person before the wedding. Arrived early to the ceremony & did a wonderful job! Definitely would recommend him to anyone!

    Made our wedding perfect

    We are so happy that Rev. Terry Brady was our officiant. We wanted something heartfelt for our super small ceremony that really captured who we are. Rev. Terry Brady found a perfect balance of humor and seriousness to match our personalities. He met with us in a video chat several weeks before the wedding to walk us through a mock ceremony and to get to know us better. He incorporated what he learned in our meetings and the short questionnaire he asked us to complete. He listened to all our questions and concerns. Ultimately, our wedding ceremony was exactly what we wanted because Rev. Terry Brady used his experience and professionalism combined with his kind heart to create it while putting us both at ease with the process. He was great!

    Couldn’t have been more thrilled

    Terry was absolutely marvelous!!! We picked him through our pop-up wedding website, Pop the Knot, and we couldn’t have been happier! We spoke to Terry over the phone, gave him a few specifics about us and we were blown away by his heartfelt, sincere ceremony! He was humorous, kind, and spoke such amazing words…all of our guests commented on how wonderful the service was! Highly highly recommend!

    Lives up to the reputation!

    I had a wonderful time photographing one of the ceremonies that Terry put on. He was prompt, professional, and got along great with each guest. Most importantly, he was solely focused on the couple. Three cheers for Terry!

    Terry is terrific!

    We found Terry online and hired him based on his quality reviews. Once we spoke to Terry on the phone he was a pleasure to talk to and guided us easily into a simple plan for our wedding. He invited us to fill out a short questionnaire about our history together and from our response Terry customized a very thoughtful and sincere ceremony. Terry's preparation, warmth, and sincerity delivered to us everything we could want for our special day.

    What an amazing guy!

    Terrance is so sweet and provided my husband and I with a beautiful ceremony. He worked with us and met with us a few times to go over everything we needed for the ceremony. Very sweet and helpful man. What a blessing it was to work with him. So thankful we met him and would highly recommend for anyone looking to get married to use him for a beautiful and meaningful ceremony.

    Absolutely Amazing

    To give some back story my wedding was supposed to be May 2nd of 2020 and as I’m sure your thinking covid 19. Yes we had to reschedule our wedding and unfortunately Terry wasn’t going to be in Arizona for the new wedding date. However I will tell you this! We absolutely loved Terry and were so bummed to hear he wasn’t going to be in town. He made the process feel very comfortable and got to know us very well. He made both my fiancé and I very comfortable and had made it very easy. If your looking for someone this is your guy! Terry Brady is your guy! Thank you Terry for all your help!

    Perfect for our wedding

    We knew we wanted to hire a professional for our wedding ceremony. When we met with Terry we knew he was perfect for the job! The mock ceremony he presented at our first meeting demonstrated the seriousness of the commitment of marriage, but also had a few light hearted moments/ jokes. Terry was flexible with what we wanted the script to include and very responsive to emails. Our guests also commented on how great the ceremony was!

    Officiant review

    Terry was a pleasure to work with and he did a great job personalizing our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted. He suggested a wine box which was a nice, unique touch to ceremony and a tradition we plan to continue through the years. We received many compliments from our guests on how nice the ceremony was and we couldn’t have been happier with our officiant choice.

    Such a wonderful wedding ceremony!

    We had Terry officiate our July 2019 wedding. We met with him a couple of times and knew right away that we wanted him to be a part of our big day. Our first meeting consisted of an actual "mock ceremony" which was extremely helpful to hear how it could sound at our wedding. We also were able to customize and add whatever we liked and Terry was very flexible. He was personable and genuinely cared about our relationship and marriage. We received many compliments from attendees and family members about our ceremony and Terry and we couldn't agree more with them. It was a great day and we are lucky that we found such a wonderful officiant!

    Terrance is Amazing!

    Terrance was an amazing officiant, he made sure to respond to our emails within 24 hours (which we found valuable in the wedding planning process), was timely at our rehearsal and the day of our wedding. He took the time to know us and our story and incorporated it into our ceremony, making it even more special. Terrance did an amazing job, he truly loves what he does and it shows!!
