Terry was the officiant was our ceremony last Saturday. He did a wonderful job and we couldn't be more pleased. The ceremony was the perfect length and had wonderful personal touches. Terry makes a point of meeting with you a couple of times before the wedding and disscussing what you would like. He was great at responding to questions and emails. I feel like we got everything that we wanted and asked for and even more. We even didn't have a rehersal dinner and he was still able to coordinate well with the wedding party and pull off a perfect ceremony. I couldn't thank him enough.

My husband and I got married 2 weeks ago and we are still hearing compliments on our wedding ceremony. Terry created such a perfect personalized ceremony for us, it touched us as well as every one of our guests. He was really able to capture our relationship with sincerity and the right amount of humor. and he delivered it beautifully. We were also planning long distance (living in Atlanta getting married in Illinois) and he was able to work with our schedules. First meeting we did through a Skype chat. He was able to meet with us when we came to visit IL for a week. He's been doing this for a while so he also provided tons of great advice, on the ceremony, vows, and unity candle (he also described several other optional traditions). We were looking for something unique and personalized and we got just that. I am so happy we found Terry, he made our ceremony so incredibly special and unforgettable.

Terry Brady took the time to really get to know us before the ceremony. His questionare was a great way to personalize the ceremony and brought tears and laughs to those that really know us. We are so glad that we chose Mr. Brady and would highly recommend him to anyone. What a wonderful memory he created for us. Thank you.

Terry was recommened by one of my friends who knew he officiated weddings. We had met with Terry to see if we would be a good fit. We were! He is very personable and an excellent speaker. Being that my husband and I are not religious, but are families are avid practicing Catholics and Jehovah's Wittness, composing a ceremony that appeased both families would be a challege we thought. Not for Terry, he really did save the day because we had no idea how to approach the situation. After the ceremony was given we recieved multiple compliments from both sides. I would recommend Terry to all of my friends. He is awesome.

I can't thank Terry enough for all that he had done for my husband and I. He made our ceremony so special to us! His amazing ceremony was the buzz for weeks after our wedding. His honesty, genuine care for the couple, humor, and inclusion of family and friends is what made him stand out above the rest. He's not cheesy and you can tell he doesn't do what he does to run a business- he does it because he really cares. You would have to be nuts to not like Terry and his services, I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

Terry Brady is a great person and very funny! We couldn't of been happier with our choice. We were very nervous on our wedding day and he made us feel so comfortable. We were honored to have Terry marry us on our special day. We HIGHLY recommend Mr. Brady. We hope to run into him in the future, we liked him so much!!

We were very fortunate to find that Terry was available just 8 weeks before our big day. Normally, Terry is booked up to a year in advance. Despite the short period of time, Terry made sure to meet with us several times, and to speak to us on the phone several more times, in order to customize the perfect ceremony for us. Everything was beautiful, and Terry's officiating garnered rave reviews from everyone that attended our wedding. Terry kept things lighthearted, but also very sincere and meaningful. He also suggested a "sand ceremony" in the place of a candle ceremony, since our ceremony was outdoors, and it was perfect. We cannot say enough great things about Terry, and we would 100% recommend him to anyone that wants the perfect wedding. Thanks very much Terry..... -Alma and Tom

Terry went above and beyond to make our wedding ceremony one of the best and most meaningful (and tear inducing...in a good way) moments that my husband and I will never forget. I can't say enough wonderful things about Terry as a person and professional. One of our groomsmen has already told us that he will be contacting Terry for his own ceremony. Since my husband and I are not members of a church, but have our beliefs, Terry was able to provide a perfect balance of humor and sentiment with the religious tone we had hoped for.

Terry was extremely professional and easy to talk too and we are very happy we chose him as our officiant at our wedding. Terry was very flexible in how we wanted our wedding and provided a lot of valuable suggestions. Terry had insisted that we meet a couple of times before the wedding so that he can get a better understanding about us and we found this very helpful as you don't feel like you are strangers at the wedding. He was always on time and always came prepared.

Terry has all 5-star reviews for a reason! We met with several officiants for our ceremony, and Terry was the most down-to-earth, easy going person we met with. He led our ceremony exactly how we wanted it - about US. Everyone gave us compliments on such an amazing ceremony. It felt like we had known Terry for years (especially how he added several personal touches to the ceremony)!!! He was wonderful to work with and extremely responsive. Thank you, Terry!

Terry Brady truly helped make our wedding day perfect. As neither I nor my husband belong to a church, we were very worried as to how we would find someone that would make our ceremony personal and memorable. We orignally found someone that would only meet with us the day of our wedding. So to find Terry was a blessing! Terry insisted that we meet with him at least twice before the wedding. He went over all the details our ceremony with us. He came to our rehearsal and he and his wife came to our wedding. We got so many compliments on our ceremony. It was about us, marriage, and our future lives together. We are so happy with how it all turned out and would love to keep in touch with Terry. He really made the start of marriage wonderful!!! I can't say thank you enough!

Terry was absolutely amazing and I couldn't have been any happier. He made us both feel very comfortable before and after the ceremony. Terry took the time to get to know us and make sure our ceremony was a perfect fit for us. I would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant on their special day.

My husband and I were extremely happy with Terry. And we have had so many compliments about him from our family and friends that were at the wedding! I think at least half of them commented on how great he was! He truly made our wedding day extremly special and I could not recommend him enough. If and when we ever renew our vows it will be with Terry!!!!

Terry Brady officiated our wedding ceremony in October and my husband and I would highly recommend him. I had contacted a number of officiants when I began our search, and Terry was the only one who didn't try to use a sales pitch on me. He met with us twice before the wedding in order to get to know us as a couple so that he could make our ceremony unique and personal. The ceremony was exactly what we wanted - not over the top religious, relatively brief (15-20 minutes), and he used just the right amount of humor to make people smile without joking so much that it took away from the specialness of the ceremony. Overall, I would highly recommend Terry Brady if this is what you are looking for.

Terry is beyond compare. He met with us at our convenience and asked the right questions to make the ceremony that much more personal for us and everyone attending. His easy delivery, sincere approach, and overall jovial demeanor made more than a few guests comment how they felt like they knew him for years despite never meeting him before that day. Our ceremony was even better than we could have imagined and it was all due to Terry.

My husband and I were nervous about this part, as we preferred not to have our ceremony in a church. We wanted to find someone who brought both the elements of a church wedding and a casual, non-wordy ceremony together for a short and sweet telling of our relationship and future. Terry intertwined personal likes and events of our lives into the readings, and it was very comfortable for us to stand there and exchange vows. Nerves were few if any, and occasional, lightedhearted laughter added to the special feeling in the room. It was a wonderful ceremony and Terry did a perfect job.

Terry was ABSOLUTELY wonderful! I couldn't have asked for a more flexible, responsible, funny, and on-time officiant! In fact, of all the vendors I used on my wedding day, he is the only one who followed through his contract. Every other vendor skimped out on something or changed their mind on something else. Terry outlines his ceremony and expectations from day one and follows through until the bitter end. He is such a wonderful person. He'll laugh with you, cry with you (maybe.....or just make you laugh), and sympathize with you through the trials and tribulations that are wedding planning. He is great, reliable, and well worth the cost.

Terry officiated my September 11, 2010 wedding ceremony and did an absolutely fabulous job from start to finish. He was very flexible and easy to work with and was open to incorporating ideas that we had and wanted in our ceremony. He helped make our wedding ceremony extremely personal and heartfelt and we received so many compliments to that effect. He was very easy going and patient with our schedules as well, since originally at the time we began speaking we lived out of state. We immediately felt comfortable with him even after only speaking on the phone and are so happy we went with our instinct and picked him to officiate our wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made throughout the process!
