My name is Teri, and I'm a non-denominational ordained minister living in the INW offering elopements and serving as a wedding officiant for Coeur d'Alene, Spokane and the surrounding area. I first got a taste of the wedding industry when I was living on some property several years back. A friend suggested I host weddings there given the location and scenery. So, after some thought, I had my first wedding venue experience. I fell in love instantly. Then like life often does, I was thrown a curve ball and moved away from the property. I always knew one day, I would find a way to get back into the industry.
Fast forward, I met my soulmate the end of 2018, and we both knew we were destined for one another. Maybe that's cheesy but it's true! We were engaged by the summer of 2020. Beginning of 2021, I decided I was ready to move forward with my business dreams. I became an Officiant! I thought really hard about a business name and started up my LLC. However, with a wedding of my own in the future, I decided to put my new business adventure on hold. We were hitched in September 2021. I did the traditional wedding with a reception, and it was beautiful. My wedding coordinator was the bomb dot com and worked through every hurdle that came our way, expected or not. She was and still is truly admirable!
The year 2022 brought many changes, challenges and rewards. I officially "opened" for business in June and haven't looked back since! I've been blessed enough to be part of my booked couples most memorable moment, making the ultimate commitment to one another, whether privately or in front of their loved ones. There is no better job in the world - I am convinced! It is my goal and dedication to ensure every couple I work with has the nuptials they have envisioned for their special day.
