    SO sweet and perfect for the job - 10/10 recommend Terry!!

    Terry was so wonderful and lovely - she has the perfect demeanor for this role. Someone even complimented how lovely seeming our officiant was... I found Terry on one of these websites and after one call with her I was sold - she is very sweet and was very professional on the day. 10/10 would recommend, hopefully I'll never have to use her services again (for a wedding!) but would definitely recommend. She helped run the rehearsal like a real professional, she travels too! Note - she did jump out of the pic for our first kiss, it's just this photo I posted (our teaser photo) was taken from an angle..

    So Patient!

    Terry was absolutely wonderful! She walked us through everything and was so patient with my grandparents and the kids during the rehearsal. She replied quickly to my emails when preparing for our wedding.

    Professional and Caring

    It was so great having Terry officiate our wedding. So was so professional to beginning to the end. She provided templates of different ceremonial ideas for us to begin the brainstorming session. She was flexible making our edits and providing feedback on our additions. We made a HUGE mishap and forgot our wedding license for the ceremony. Terry was able to still perform the ceremony onsite for us and took time out of her personal day afterwards to meet us and sign the paperwork. She was very caring and sweet to work with. We highly recommend her for your wedding needs!

    Intimate Wedding

    Terry was amazing! She was there on time, she made the process easy by sending in our marriage license for us and we didn’t have to think about it. She was professional and perfect for our special wedding. Not only did the bride and groom enjoy her being there but also did the guest. I would recommend having Terry be there for your special day.

    The PERFECT Small Wedding

    Our original plan was to elope at the courthouse, but then our parents a some other family that knew our plan wanted to come for it. So my now husband, wanted to get a small venue for the ceremony so it was more private. I didn't think I would be able to find a place, but that's when I was so lucky to find Terry. Not only was she a highly-rated and experienced officiant, but she had a small venue that worked out PERFECTLY for us. We got married at Terry's home. She has a beautiful house and wedding ceremony setup in her backyard. We ended up having 10 adults and 2 children at the ceremony and everyone said the wedding looked like we had planned it for months (really it was more like 3 weeks). Anyway, Terry and her husband prepared the backyard so that it had furniture and tables for people to talk before the ceremony. The ceremony area had a pagoda that they draped with tulle and flowers, benches for the guests and a speaker where they played music before and after the ceremony. The property is backed by woods and it's very private. We had a photographer and she loved the property since it had beautiful trees, flowers, and greenery all around that made for very nice pictures. Terry also has a pretty gazebo in her property that we could have also used for the ceremony, but instead we used it for pictures. Terry also opened her home and let us use one of her bedrooms and bathrooms for me to finish getting ready before the ceremony (and hide out). For the ceremony itself, Terry sent us many samples and options for us to look at. So, the ceremony was exactly what we wanted and Terry did a fantastic job delivering it. Honestly, this was above and beyond what we could have hoped for. Thank you Terry for hosting our small wedding and giving us such a perfect day!!

    Great experience

    Terry asked us a series of questions to get started with the initial script for our wedding ceremony. After a little back and forth we ended up with a script that truly represented our wedding vision. Terry helped with running our rehearsal the day before and provided helpful tips. The day of, Terry did an excellent job officiating the wedding. Her speaking voice is very warm and pleasant. Everything went according to the script and we were happy Terry could share our special moment. Terry was professional throughout the entire process and we wholeheartedly recommend her as an officiant!

    Absolutely amazing!

    A week later and I still marvel at the incredible experience we had with Terry. A New Year’s Eve wedding is difficult enough to arrange, and our original officiant came down ill and had to cancel **the day before**. I found Terry and not only did she reply to me before I even put my phone down, she offered her services without hesitation. She is SO prepared, SO engaging and SO welcoming and her versatility is unmatched. There simply aren’t enough stars to give her a proper rating.

    When people reflect on their wedding day, many remember the reception/party or the gifts or the race to the honeymoon. I remember Terry and how she expertly and graciously allowed us to keep our day.

    Find her! You’ll be glad you did.

    Wedding Officiant Review

    Ms. Terry made our wedding day absolutely magical! Communication with her on the app was incredible. She always got back to us right away on the app, and on our wedding day, was professional, punctual (early actually), and just a sweet soul. I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
