About

Storefront:

Authentic Ceremonies is a wedding officiant service based out of Seekonk, Massachusetts. Ordained Christian minister and multi-faith chaplain Reverend Korte Yeo tailors traditional and/or unique wedding ceremonies to tell each couple's love story. Don't have an exact vision yet?- We will create a vision together during premarital counseling sessions that serve multiple purposes.

The premarital work is part of what makes your ceremony (and your experience) a one-a-kind experience.

Reverend Korte has spent over 20 years helping people develop spiritually and emotionally as individuals and as couples. With seven years of stand-up comedy experience and decades striving to learn from multiple faith traditions, Korte brings a broad, personal and colorful touch to his vocation.. This experienced officiant will do their utmost to create and perform the right service for you.

Services Offered: Korte offers a free consultation to discuss expectations, vision and hopes for your special day. Wedding service with Authentic Ceremonies begins with pre-marital counseling. This officiant can assist in helping you to write your own vows if you wish.

We create ceremonies that are single-faith, multi-faith, or of no particular faith. Licensed to conduct ceremonies in the states of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Reverend Korte is ready to help you realize your dream wedding.

Pricing Authentic Ceremonies offers an all-inclusive package for $550 (within a 1 hour radius of Seekonk, MA), which includes an initial consultation, three 1-hour pre-marital counseling sessions, creating & performing your unique ceremony and a full rehearsal. We will also touch base two or three times in short meetings to review and tweak your order of service as your wedding day approaches.

Why Premarital counseling? Why Authentic Ceremonies?

My service to you is more than putting together a nice ceremony. Oh, we'll do that, but more importantly, we will discuss ways to help you become the best spouse each of you can become to one another and discuss how to meet challenges. You will each work through a series of questions, which we will process together. This is by far the most important service we provide.

Amazing Ceremony

Korte was amazing! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a special, personalized ceremony. He was friendly and accommodating to all of our desires. He helped us plan out the ceremony, provided suggestions, and let us customize it how we wanted. Then he was so helpful organizing the ceremony at the rehearsal and the day of. We highly recommend taking the time to have the pre-wedding sessions with him too, they led to some great conversations, and enabled him to really get to know us. He then used that knowledge to add really personal touches to his delivery. We loved working with Korte and are so happy he was part of our wedding!

Special, outstanding and memorable

Reverend Korte was easy to work with, he reduced my anxiety by staying in touch with me via email and text, he was that extra security that we needed to ease our concerns. We chose Korte-yeo for the simple fact that he was easy to talk to, with a sense of humor,!-&; very down to earth. He listened to us and got to know us very well in a short amount of time. The most memorable momentum while working with Korte-yeo was our ceremony, he made it feel extra special talking about how our 12 year love story began. I highly recommend him and will refer further couples.

What a joy!

We could not recommend Reverend Korte highly enough! He brought such joy to our wedding. Leading up to the event, he was patient and flexible. He adapted the premarital sessions to Zoom and the ceremony preparation to emails until we were finally able to meet in person the week of the wedding. During the ceremony, it was clear that he truly had made a significant effort to get to know my husband and I. It was so personalized and enjoyable that even our guests live-streamed in from abroad were engaged and laughing. Thank you so much again!

Glad we made this choice!

Korte was the perfect officiant for our wedding! We had an opportunity to select our readings, prayers, and to choose various aspects of our ceremony to make it special to us. It was still important to us that the wedding not be overly formal. Korte told our story that kept everyone laughing and interested in the event. He was very friendly and a great choice to officiate our wedding. We highly recommend Korte as a wedding officiant!

Anything but ordinary

What can I say other than we had a once in a lifetime experience. This was no cookie-cutter service, Korte's comedic chops kept things light and loose, and kept our audience laughing. His attention to our personal connection and the way he told our story of love made for an unforgettable experience
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
