    Terry was the best !

    Terry was great. She made it easy to take care of payment, was on time and professional, and even offered scripts to choose from where you can add your own touches if you wanted. The ceremony went great- she even made sure I didn’t forget my bouquet on the walk back down the aisle!

    Terry was a joy to have as our officiant!

    Terry was kind and always got back to me the day of to answer my many questions. She gave us so many sample scripts to choose from and was always willing to help assist us. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant!

    Great officiant!

    Our officiant was very kind and professional. Even though it was a quick ceremony outside the county office, they made the moment feel special and comfortable. Everything was smooth and easy. Thank you!

    Great Experience

    In spite of my procrastination, the wedding was a huge success. I waited until the last minute to fine an officiant, I gave her the script for the service the day before the wedding and we decided to forego a rehearsal. However, Terry was great and was very professional. I definitely recommend her.

    Wonderful ceremony

    We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant. She took the time to go over everything with us well before the ceremony, which made us feel completely prepared and at ease. She offered several beautiful scripts to choose from and helped us find one that truly felt like us. Her organization, care, and calm presence made such a difference on our wedding day. We absolutely loved her and are so grateful she was part of our ceremony.

    Highly Recommend!💍

    Terry was very sweet and thoughtful! She made sure we felt completely prepared and confident going into our ceremony. She provided the most beautiful/perfect script that allowed a moment to honor my dad, who has passed away, in such a meaningful and gentle way. Our ceremony felt personal, heartfelt, and exactly what we envisioned because of her. We’re so grateful for Terry and can’t recommend her enough🤍💍

    Great Officiant for Religious and Non-Religious Ceremonies

    Terry is a very sweet and understanding officiant! She showed up for our rehearsal the day before our wedding on time, and helped prepare us for the ceremony. We did our ceremony rehearsal at our rehearsal dinner since our venue was unavailable the night before our wedding. It was a stressful situation due to the restaurant's lack of organization and flow with the dinner service, but Terry handled it well and kept everyone on track. She gave a beautiful ceremony for our wedding at Sweeney Barn on October 4th, 2025! Absolutely lovely and stunning. I really loved Terry's speedy responses to my questions and her flexibility with the script that she was to use on our wedding day. Terry really cares about making her couples happy and goes above and beyond to make that happen. Our completed marriage license was mailed/returned to the district court on time (within 5 business days of the wedding) and we were able to pick up our marriage certificate shortly after. I also liked that Terry was respectful of the fact that we did NOT want a religious ceremony. You want someone who is versatile to marry you, and she definitely is! Highly recommend her to officiate your wedding! :)

    Just So Lovely

    Reverend Terry was so kind and thoughtful providing valuable tips on how to have the service go smoothly and how to manage the marriage certificate process.
    The guests mentioned how great she was with the ceremony; well spoken, not rushed, easily heard and it was conducted solemnly but with a nice touch of humor.
    I HIGHLY recommend Weddings by Terry!

    Professional & Nice Ceremony

    Terry was great and professional throughout the whole wedding process from our pre-calls all the way up to the rehearsal and the wedding ceremony itself. She allowed us to customize and make the ceremony script our own. The wedding day was smooth and went flawlessly.

    Terry was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and helpful throughout the entire process, offering thoughtful suggestions and great ideas for our ceremony. She performed everything flawlessly — even without a rehearsal! We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone warm, professional, and genuinely caring.

    September Wedding

    Terry our officiant was incredibly flexible, kind, and easy to work with from start to finish. She communicated clearly and consistently, always responding with understanding and grace. Her presence brought calm and joy to our ceremony, and she made our wedding day feel truly special. We’re so grateful for her care and professionalism! 10/10 recommend!

    Terry was professional, sweet, and perfect for our non-religious ceremony

    Terry provided superb service for a great price! As soon as we contacted her, she responded in a quick and professional manner. Our civil ceremony was a non-traditional, non-religious ceremony. Terry sent many different scripts for us to help craft the best wording for our special day. We came up with a custom script which she used for our ceremony. Before the ceremony started, she made sure to ask us how to pronounce our names, which I really appreciated since we both have unique names. Also, since Terry arrived early before the ceremony, she wasted no time in filling out the marriage license form beforehand. Little details like that go a long way. We both highly recommend Terry!

    Wedding day!

    Terry Was an Absolute Angel – Rain or Shine!
    We truly don’t have enough words to express our gratitude for Terry, our incredible wedding officiant. She was so much more than someone who guided us through the ceremony – she was calm, warm, professional, and brought such a genuine sense of love and joy to our day.
    And let’s talk about the RAIN! Yes – our wedding ended up happening in a full-on downpour, and Terry didn’t miss a beat. She stood with us, smiling through every drop, completely unshaken, and made the ceremony feel just as magical (if not more!) than if the sun had been shining. Her grace and presence during that moment turned what could have been chaos into something deeply beautiful and unforgettable.
    She spoke with heart, intention, and authenticity – our guests are still talking about how moving the ceremony was. Terry helped us feel grounded and connected, and she truly made the experience feel personal and meaningful.
    If you’re looking for someone who is not only experienced and professional but also deeply kind and committed to making your ceremony uniquely yours – Terry is the one. Rain, shine, or anything in between, she will show up with love and light.
    We are so lucky to have found her!

    Professional and Detail-Oriented

    Terry was wonderful to work with from the beginning. In our first meeting on Zoom, she was very professional and kind and we knew immediately we wanted to have her officiate our wedding. Her process to provide the script for our non-religious ceremony felt very personal without making us write the whole thing. Prior to our wedding she was very helpful in guiding us on how to acquire our marriage license. She has done so many weddings that she is well known at the DC Marriage Bureau.

    For our wedding, her attendance at our rehearsal was very welcomed, as she used her expertise to iron out details of our ceremony that we and our planner hadn't previously considered. On our wedding day, she was prompt and had a calming presence throughout all of our stressful moments.

    We can't recommend Terry highly enough, and she provided all of her services at an affordable price point. Having her as our officiant was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

    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!

    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..

    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!

    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.

    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 to work with!

    Terry was so great to work with who officiated our wedding in Fredericksburg, Virginia. We had a few calls leading up to the wedding day - and she sent over a ton of scripts for my wife and I to choose from. We cherry picked through them to create our own. She was affordable, timely, and brought up things we weren’t even thinking about. Overall, highly recommend!
