About
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding or elopement in the Smoky Mountains! For over 15 years, I’ve joyfully officiated more than a hundred weddings and elopements in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Cades Cove, and within 100 miles of the area – all with five-star reviews.
I create warm, personalized ceremonies that tell your unique love story, with just the right blend of heartfelt moments, humor, and faith. I’m ordained and licensed to officiate in your area and can incorporate your traditions and mention God, as you prefer.
I’ll guide you through every step, from marriage license questions to National Park wedding requirements, plus share permit-free spots, venue ideas, and intimate locations. Vow renewals, as well as pre-marital and marital counseling, are also available.
If my style feels like a fit, message me and I’ll happily send sample ceremonies and more details.

Pastor Terry was absolutely incredible. From the moment we spoke on the phone to zoom meetings, we knew we were making the right choice. Terry is super well organized and communicating with Terry was effortless. We even took
Pre-Martial classes once a week for 5 weeks and Terry was very patient and truly genuine and very relatable. I would highly recommend Pastor Terry to officiate your wedding!!

Working with the weddingofficiant at Alabaster was a wonderful experience. He assisted us every step of the way being that we were traveling in from Pennsylvania to be married. Wonderful work ethic, kind and caring.

Pastor Terry was recommended to us via Maryville Speaks Out. I looked him up on Thumbtack. Once I reached out, he responded by the next day. We did a zoom call introduction and shared our ideas of how we wanted our wedding to go. He kept in contact and showed up early. Our experience was amazing and I would recommend him over everyone else we spoke with. He helped perfect our ideas and helped make our special day amazing! Thank you Terry!!!

Terry just performed our 50th wedding anniversary renewal vows, this past weekend. We absolutely LOVED him! We have been corresponding with him for a couple of months and he has been so kind and professional. We recommend Terry for a faith filled ceremony. That was what we wanted and he did such a lovely service. He is so delightful and personable! We will always remember Terry and our vow renewal for the rest of our lives!
