Terri-Jo Hoover

I became an ordained minister to perform weddings and honor the beauty of love in all its forms. From the beginning, my goal was to help couples celebrate one of the most meaningful moments of their lives with sincerity and joy. I believe every love story is unique, and being part of that celebration—guiding two people into a new chapter together—is a privilege I hold with deep respect. This calling allows me to create ceremonies that are heartfelt, personal, and full of warmth.

I am originally from California. But have been living in the Tampa Florida area for 5 years as of 2025.

With my online ordination, I hope to create unique, heartfelt wedding experiences that reflect each couple’s individual journey and values. My goal is to offer ceremonies that break away from the one-size-fits-all approach—infusing each celebration with authenticity, warmth, and personal meaning. Whether it's an intimate backyard vow exchange or a themed celebration full of personality, I strive to make every wedding a reflection of the love it honors.

Although I am no longer affiliated with any specific religion, my upbringing—Christian within a Jewish family—shaped my values and deepened my appreciation for diverse faith traditions. Today, I consider myself spiritual, believing in a higher power and guided by the conviction that love, kindness, and connection are sacred. My ceremonies reflect this inclusive outlook, welcoming all couples and honoring the universal power of love.

What makes my ceremonies special is the genuine care and attention I put into getting to know each couple and their story. I believe every wedding should feel like a reflection of the love being celebrated—not just a script, but a meaningful moment tailored to who they are. I take pride in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Whether it’s incorporating cultural traditions, unique vows, or personal touches that matter deeply to the couple, I strive to make their ceremony feel intimate, joyful, and truly unforgettable.

Living here in the Tampa Florida area, gives us so many places to choose for your wedding ceremony. Ceremony Locations Include, but are not limited to: Beaches (Clearwater, St. Pete Beach, Honeymoon Island, Sarasota, and others) Parks and gardens (Robert K Rees Memorial Park, Lettuce Lake Park, Sims Park, Philippe Park, and so many others)

Whether you're dreaming of an elaborate, custom-crafted ceremony or simply want a quick and meaningful 'I do'—even in the comfort of your home—I’m here to make it happen. My goal is to meet couples where they are, offering flexible, inclusive, and heartfelt services that honor their wishes. No matter the setting or size, each ceremony is approached with care, warmth, and a deep respect for the love being celebrated.
