About Me
🎙️ A little bit about me, before I know a little bit about you!I’m Terry, and I believe your wedding ceremony should be as well-crafted as your favourite poem. I’ve traded 12 years in the English classroom to become a Wedding Celebrant, I've Mastered too many Ceremonies to count, and I've written enough vows for my couples to fill a book (yet to be published!).What does that mean for you? It means I know how to compose and manifest your love story in the most beautiful way I know how.I’m obsessed with my beautiful wife, and also a grumpy exotic shorthair named Romeo and an adorable cavoodle named Sayang. In our spare time we like to go on food crawls after a stint of bouldering, or smash a cheeseboard and bubble tea at the drive-in cinema.

Reviews
✨ Bella & Ray
"Terry was the best celebrant we could have asked for! He was super organised with everything, communicated with us and our other vendors regularly in the lead up to the wedding to coordinate all the little details we wouldn’t have thought of. He personalised our wedding and our guests commented that he was so engaging and funny. Terry definitely made our day more smooth and everything went to plan. I would highly recommend Terry for any future brides and grooms looking for a celebrant! Thank you Terry!"
✨ Peter & Melissa
"We had Terry Chong for our ceremony and we are so glad we did. Terry kept us grounded leading up to the day. Communication with him was clear and genuine during our meetings. He is someone you can trust and rely on during your ceremony as he knows what he's doing. We are extremely thankful for him helping us throughout the ceremony. It was so seamless it felt perfect. My partner and I had no worries and could enjoy being in the moment. Thank you Terry!"
✨Annie & Richard
"We had the absolute pleasure of having Terry as our celebrant for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to officiate our special day. Terry took the time to truly understand us as a couple, incorporating personal touches and heartfelt details that made our ceremony uniquely ours. His speech was beautifully crafted, engaging, and filled with memorable anecdotes—not just about our love story, but also about our growing friendship with him. His warmth, professionalism, and ability to create an intimate and memorable ceremony made our wedding even more special. We highly recommend Terry to anyone looking for a celebrant who is not only fantastic at what he does but also genuinely invested in making your day unforgettable."More reviews can be found on my Socials.
