It would be an honor to be your officiant. You don't want a cookie cutter, "exactly like every other wedding" ceremony. You want one that is engaging, personal, romantic and all about your love. I am an experienced officiant who will write your love story (no AI) and customize your ceremony so that your day will be unforgettable. I am a published writer, a professional presenter and will work with you to create the ceremony of your dreams.
"My Husband and I hired Terri to officiate our wedding ceremony and she was amazing to work with. Our ceremony felt super personal and one of a kind, because she took the time to get to know our love story and what makes us click as a couple before writing the script." Mya

Your guests will love hearing about how you met, your first kiss and how your love grew. I will help you craft a love declaration as part of your vows that will be powerful and that you will think about for years to come. Let this day be the most amazing one ever.

Terri Jo was the most incredible officiant, she met with me via phone call to talk about the process before we chose to go with her. When we ultimately chose her, the process went smoothly, it felt almost effortless. Everyone loved our ceremony, they stated that they have never been to a ceremony that felt that it was filled with as much love as ours. Thank you again! you told our story perfectly!

Terri was wonderful to work with for our wedding and we are very happy to have her officiate our marriage. Prior to the wedding, she scheduled calls with each of us to get to know us and our story better, plus a couple documents to answer questions. That work helped make the ceremony very personal to us. On the wedding day, she arrived early to make sure she could prefill the paperwork and understand the flow of ceremony on site. We highly recommend Terri.

Terri Jo did an amazing job. We had an outdoor winter ceremony which required a short hike. Terri Jo had no problems with this and worked with us to create backup plans if the weather didn't hold up. We wanted more traditional vows with a personal twist. These were so easy to create with the worksheets Terri Jo provided! Lastly, Terri Jo was personable and enthusiastic. Multiple family members and guests commented on how much they enjoyed the ceremony and how well Terri Jo officiated. Our day couldn't have been as perfect without her.

Terri Jo (Your Perfect Day Weddings) Was amazing! SHe is kind, respectful, reliable, communicates, professional, and helped to make sure we had the most beautiful and memorable ceremony! She helped up to write our vows and the entire ceremony to make it really personal to us. Using guides so that we didn’t feel lost or like we had no idea where to begin. Terri was ready, had everything prepared, checked in with us before the ceremony, and made the entire process one less thing to worry about! We adore Terri and she holds a special place in our heart! Thank you so much for making our day truly perfect!

Terri is wonderful! She made planning our ceremony and vows so stress free. She took the time to get to know us both and wrote our love story so well it moved all our guests and us to happy tears! She is a delight to work with and we would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking to get married in Utah. We said I do in Zion National Park and she made the trip down for it. All our guests raved about how wonderful she was and we agree!
Thank you Terri for helping to make our special day that much more memorable!

I was digging through a lot of officiants and Terri Jo caught my eye towards the end of the list (The Knot). The universe urged me to contact her like it was meant to be. I loved how she did a chemistry call with us first, to make sure we vibed. She has a passion for literature and that showed. We loved how she took the lead. She wrote/developed the entire ceremony (unique to us) and coordinated with our other vendors on the big day - it was a seamless experience! During the ceremony, she kept all our guests engaged, interested, and laughing. We, the bride and groom, felt very relaxed at the alter. Even now, guests are quoting back to me their favorite parts of the ceremony. I'm guilty of spacing out during wedding ceremonies I've attended, so I'm impressed that our guests enjoyed it and remember vividly!!

Terri was very helpful and absolutely a pleasure to work with for our wedding day! She had the best process of getting information from both me and my husband and she really outlined our love story. Her communication and follow up was really appreciated and I really valued her attention to us as we were preparing for our big day. She made our ceremony very intimate and personal for myself, my husband and our family. Lots of people were sniffling during our ceremony! I highly recommend Terri if you are in the Utah county area to officiate your wedding ceremony.
