Terry was amazing, understand and extremely flexible. I never made it to our first meeting due to my baby being sick and she was so understanding and we met the next day. She personalized our ceremony to suit us perfectly. The ceremony was beautiful and I cannot thank you enough Terry, you were amazing. Every one of my guests said how wonderful the ceremony was the words you spoke the sand ceremony they loved it all. I would HIGHLY recommend Terry she is the best of the best. I even forgot about how everyone would hear her and she brought her sound system head set without me even asking. Terry made our ceremony perfect and I am sure she can make yours as well!! Thank you so much Terry from the bottom of our hearts!
Sincerely,

Terry was wonderful and tailored the wedding ceremony to my every wish. She truly gives the bride and groom a ceremony that reflects them as a couple and as a family. I couldn't have asked for more from the ceremony, she was always responsive to every question quickly and was helpful from the format to incorporating a rose ceremony for our mother's and our own untraditional readings and vows. I would recommend Terry to anyone who wanted a traditional or a personalized ceremony. She pays attention to detail and all the requests of the bride and groom. Terry made our beach wedding ceremony everything that we could have imagined.

Terry was an exceptional officiant! She had to travel to an island and got there a little early, so she hung out with the bride and bridesmaids while we were getting our hair done. She was very professional and friendly. Even though we were about an hour late getting started. She took care of all the paperwork...just make sure you get your marriage license in advance! Things went smoothly and it was definitely well worth the money spent. What a lovely lady and her husband who answered the phone at first was real sweet! Very great full to have found her!

"We re-newed our Wedding Vows on Boca Grande Beach on 7th September. We decided to go for the 'Lovers Serenade' ceremony on the Beach, an excellent choice.
Everything we wanted was taken care of by both Terry and Lee. We cannot recommend this ceremony enough, it's memorable, personable and romantic. With photos etc included in the cost you will not find better value for your money. Coming from the UK and only over in Florida for a few weeks it was important all the details for the day worked like clockwork and they did. Terry and Lee met us at our accommodation a week before the ceremony to fine tune the details, a great weight off our shoulders. We felt at ease from the first minute we met them. Unfortunately it rained during the Ceremony but Terry found an excellent location next to the Beach to conduct the Ceremony. Terry and Lee even stayed after the Ceremony to join us for dinner and thankfully the rain stopped and we could get what we desperately wanted, photos of the Sunset on Boca Grande Beach. Terry took some excellent shots of the kids on great locations on the beach, an eye for the special touch. We even received our photo album before we returned to the UK. All in all, Perfect. We can't put into words the gratitude we have for the way Terry and Lee not only conducted the ceremony but the professionalism and hospitality shown pre and post the ceremony."

We both would recommend "Married byTerry" services to anyone! Terry was a great wedding planner and officiant/minister. Lee was a great photographer. Terry was flexible with last minute changes in the time schedule and vows.

We would like to thank Terry and Lee Benton for all their help in making our Wedding Day such a happy and perfect one! We received the CD of our pictures very quickly and were very pleased with the way they turned out. Thanks also for going the extra mile and taking many extra pictures; scenics, candids, pre-wedding and post-wedding photos, even photos of hearts Terry drew for us in the sand! The photos were great! We felt the wedding ceremony was perfect just the way it was and we were blessed with perfect, warm, calm weather. We were both married before and wanted a beautiful, small, and intimate wedding on a beautiful secluded beach. Terry and Lee met with us at the location before the wedding and helped confirm all arrangements to be married on the exquisite beach at the Lighthouse at Boca Grande, FL. She set us at ease and brought the entire event together in a matter of weeks as we were fearful of cold weather in November. Terry also customized the vows after this first meeting and we were very pleased with her choice of prayers, vows, and her words during our sand vase ceremony. Terry chose to wear a beautiful robe which made the event even more special and she also wore a microphone system which made it easier to hear her words by the gentle waves.

Terry recommended our exquisite beach wedding site and also recommended a beautiful setting for watching the sunset at the reception dinner. Everything happened right on schedule.

We didn't have a lot of money to spend at and were both surprised and happy to have such a nice and beautiful ceremony for a very reasonable price. Thanks, again Terry and Lee for providing us with such a memorable and beautiful day!

We had our ceremony near the lighthouse in Boca Grande. Terry arranged to meet us at our hotel the night before to discuss arrangements and we new immediately that she was going to be the perfect officiant,which she was!
Thank you Terry and Lee for a really special day. We travelled from Northern Ireland for the ceremony and it was just perfect.
Many thanks

Terry was a wonderful officiant. She worked with us to specialize our vows and ceremony to exactly what we wanted, and she was extremely helpful and always very professional and courteous. She was a pleasure to have at our ceremony and I would highly recommend her! - Carita
