About this vendor
“One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life, and that word is Love." -Socrates. However, nothing is easier than saying words; and nothing is harder than living them day after day. If you have found somebody in your life whose welfare and happiness you care about more than your own, and that person puts your welfare and happiness above their own, then you are truly ready for marriage and it would truly be my pleasure to serve as your officiant. Please contact me to discuss specifics. Pricing and availability are dependent upon date, time, and location of venue (exact address of venue necessary to factor in whether travel fees or travel discounts apply).
Hoping for the honor of being part of not only your "Big Day," but part of launching on the rest of your lives together.
Truly,
Terri Swadey

Our ceremony was beautiful, and we owe it to Terri!! We wanted a simple, meaningful ceremony that reflected the fact that we had gathered our closest family and friends (and our s...
mall army of teenagers in our "blended" family unit) to join us on our Wedding Day. Terri helped us by being so flexible. She provided us with countless ceremony options and ideas yet allowed us to completely customize the service. I should note that Terri seemed unique as far as my research went in that many of the other officiants seemed to charge for customizing and for including others in the ceremony.
Terri worked with us by providing gentle guidance and suggestions as to the flow and by polishing the various transitions. She was understanding and enthusiastic; her passion for supporting couples was evident from the start. But where she really shined was during the wedding day. Terri's warmth set the tone of the ceremony--she spoke to us and about us as if she had known us for years. We have had many compliments on our ceremony over the past month, and we are thrilled because each detail meant something special to us.
Terri does have a regular full time job, so from time to time you may need to be patient with communication. But rest assured that her kindness and warmth and years of expertise are worth waiting a few days for an email!!
My husband and I first met with Terri 9 months before our date. We knew within minutes of meeting her that she was the one we wanted. She spoke of true love which is a huge belief ...
of mine. Even her voice is perfect - so loving and sincere. A bonus was her prices were the best I found. We received many compliments about Terri after the wedding as well. If you are looking for a sweet, genuine officiant do yourself a favor and book Terri - no need to keep searching!

time there was a question, we could call or email. She would always check in, especially as the big day approached. The ceremony itself was fantastic. Just so laid back and fit us perfectly. She did a great job with tailoring it.
We loved every moment working with Terri!

ng day very special. She is a true professional and kind person who cares about the couple she is marrying. We even had a sand ceremony involving the children was very helpful in the best way to do it. I would recommend Terri to anyone, she is a wonderful person.

n choosing an officiant. She is so easy to work with and met every one of our needs. Her warm, genuine, & caring personality drew me towards her and I would highly recommend her!! She is the best! Thank you Terrri. Sincerely, Reema & Tom
I contacted Terri after finding her online and from our first phone conversation she was so sweet and you could tell she loves what she does. She was always available to talk when ...
I had questions or concerns. Terri is truely the best out there and you won't go wrong if you choose her. She worked very hard to make our ceremony more wonderful then I could have ever dreamed! My husband at the time was in Okinawa with the Marine Corps, so everything went via the interent between her and him. She always was patient with us and worked hard on our ceremony. She allowed us to make many changes and incorperate our own lines into the ceremony giving it that special touch.
We have become good friends since she married me and my husband, Michael in May 2010! I promise, choose Carter's Creative Ceremonies and you won't regret it!
Terri was the officiant at our wedding in October. In the months leading up to the ceremony, she was incredibly friendly and helpful. She was prompt in all of her responses, both...
in e-mail and over the phone. She sent us a variety of ceremony scripts, and was very gracious about letting us pick and choose pieces from the different ceremonies, as well as adding our own things. The end result was exactly what we wanted. We highly recommend her!
Sincerely,Mark and Elizabeth Lemon

t to fit our personality. She did such a great job, and was so warm and genuine during the ceremony. She also was great to work with through email and phone to prepare. I would highly recommend working with Terri...in fact a friend of ours used her this past August for their ceremony too!
Terri will be officiating our Oct. 2011 wedding. She has been so caring about our wedding and very cooperative. We had to change our date and she has been there for us the whole ...
time. She is also working with us to design our own ceremony. She is so open yet professional. I would recommend working with her for any ceremony!
When my now husband and I were trying to decide on an officiant, we were pulled in a million directions. None of which were "right" for us. Then I found Terri's website, and it was...
like the dark cloud above us was moved away... And even though the thoughtfulness that is shown on the website may seem to good to be true? It is not! Not only is Terri professional (good with contact, helpful with the ceremony, and prompt, etc), she is genuinely happy to be joining people in marriage! Oh, and she is NOT A TOTAL RIPOFF like so many others we looked into. She worked with us on what we wanted, and gave us a ton of sample ceremonies to browse through. Terri is a sweet sweet lady, and was a very important piece to the beautiful puzzle that was our wedding!
She has been very easy to work with and even returns emails late at night. Very professional.
Terri was an amazing officiant for my wedding. She was able to personalize my wedding script and was flexible with last minute changes. Two days before my wedding my grandfather pa...
