How long will my ceremony last?


Most importantly, I always emphasize "Don’t be in a hurry!-I will not rush you". I am there to facilitate and allow you to be absorbed in the magic and beauty of the moment. For some couples five to ten minutes is just fine. About twenty minutes give or take is usually about average. Anything over thirty minutes seems to contribute to a serious case of "wobbling of the knees" (just kidding). I promise to include everything and just about anything your heart's desire.


How do we reserve our wedding date?


First things first: Contact me to see if your date and time is available on my schedule and so we can set an initial meeting.

What about the ideal wedding location? 


You decide-it's your dream. We have entered into a new age of wedding locations that certainly would have surprised our grandparents. If a place has a special meaning to you, it is my privilege to see you married there. Indoors/outdoors, traditional, contemporary, and chapel venues, the possibilities and options are endless. I can also make recommendations if you wish. There are hundreds of fabulous wedding venues between Phoenix and Gold Canyon.


How much will your services cost?


Obviously no two ceremonies are alike, so my fee will vary according to size of the wedding, length of ceremony and distance. My fee is based upon that. Contact me for a customized quotation.

About Terry Brady 
I have been an ordained, non-denominational minister/wedding officiant, since 1998 having officiated nearly 300 ceremonies in that time.  I never imagined that anything could be so incredibly rewarding and fulfilling as uniting two souls in marriage, as I started out marrying only family members and close friends. To each ceremony I bring passion, flexibility, and personalization. For me the greatest of honors is uniting a couple on what is truly one of life's most wondrous and beautiful occasions. I will work with you to create a ceremony that will hold the cherished memory of a lifetime.


I will meet with you to discuss your ceremony. I will listen to you. I will give you a questionnaire that will enable me to write and share your love story and your hopes and dreams and what YOUR vision of ceremony is, being careful to include only the content you desire and approve of. After all, it's YOUR wedding!
