Terence Ward, the founder of Weddings in the Gunks, believes that everyone deserves to have this important moment in their story celebrated with a healthy mix of dignity and joy. Exactly what's in that mix is more up to the clients than anybody else. It can include sacred religious moments like blessing the couple or fasting their hands, science fiction elements like a Bajoran blessing, time-honored traditions such as breaking a glass, and remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.

If you want a secular but meaningful ceremony; if you’re spiritual but not religious; if the traditional vows don’t resonate; or if you’d like to incorporate nature-based aspects to your day, I would love to create your wedding ceremony.

As an officiant/celebrant, I serve the Hudson Valley and Tri-state areas, as well as NYC, New Jersey, western Massachusetts, and northern Pennsylvania. Other locations are possible– let’s talk!

I've been performing full Ministry services for folks from ALL walks of life since before CT legalized Marriage Equality in 2008.

I take pride in the fact that I’m a connector and listener. I love getting to know people and learning their stories. And I’m happiest when I’m able to help people take those stories and turn them into something meaningful, whether it’s a wedding ceremony or a marriage proposal or whatever milestone you’re holding space for.

No two couples are the same, and I believe your ceremony should reflect that. Whether you’re planning a small elopement, a city celebration, or something entirely unconventional, I work with you to design a ceremony that feels authentic and true to who you are. My approach is collaborative, detail-oriented, and grounded in listening. I take the time to learn your story—how you met, what makes your relationship unique, and what matters most on your wedding day. From there, I create a ceremony that feels natural, memorable, and meaningful.
