About

Hello my name is Pastor Corey Alley and I am a licensed and ordained pastor here in the Charlotte area. I have both my bachelors degree and a masters degree. I also specialize in counseling with couples like yourselves if you want or need it.

I have been married for the last 15 years to my wife Betsy and I have two kids Eden and Noel. I pastor a local church here in the Charlotte area and I love to meet couples just like you.

I really enjoy walking with couples like yourselves who for whatever reason are looking for a minister to marry them but do not have a pastor at this moment. I genuinely enjoy this process of helping you create the ceremony of your dreams. And after doing well over 300 ceremonies in the last 6 years, I feel like I can help you navigate this process with expertise.

One thing I promise is that I will help you craft the perfect ceremony for you and your fiance. I will help you guys and also help you feel very comfortable along the process. You can look at my reviews as one thing people say over and over is that I am easy to get along with, go with the flow, and provide great quality.

I promise to do the same with you. Just do me one favor and click the contact button the get the process going today.

I cannot wait to talk to you

Such a great experience

Corey was so fun and easy to work with! He did an amazing job and had many compliments from the wedding guests about what a great speaker he was. I just recommended him to my sister for her upcoming weddings

Corey was amazing to work with! He helped make our day meaning and special.

From the moment we spoke with Corey we knew he was the perfect person to marry us. My husband and I wanted someone who we felt understood us and was willing to guide us in the steps to making sure our ceremony was exactly what we wanted it to be - and it was. Corey was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and kind. Planning a wedding during COVID is stressful, but as soon as we began working with him I knew I had nothing to worry about. Corey was flexible with us for last minute changes and willing to answer all of my many questions. I would, without a second thought, recommend Corey to anyone and everyone!

Best officiant!

Corey Alley did such a great job officiating our wedding day! He’s so nice, friendly, and professional. The ceremony script options are all great and he’s flexible to work with on customizing. My husband and I and all the guests were so appreciative of the way he officiated the ceremony! We couldn’t have been happier with choosing him. Highly recommend!

Went above and beyond!

When hiring someone to officiate our wedding, we weren’t sure what to expect. Rev Corey Alley was so easy going and really took so much stress off of us and made our wedding absolutely perfect! He is phenomenal!

Meant To Be! We adore Pastor Corey!

Pastor Corey exemplifies patience and clear guidance for a one-of-a-kind and meaningful ceremony fit for your love story. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is like being stuck in a twilight zone. Pastor Corey truly centered me when I thought I would lose it during the wedding planning process. He never hesitated to pray with me on the telephone to ease my nerves.

My wedding day was beyond eventful before the main event! The biggest moment I reflect the most on of my wedding ceremony is how Pastor Corey was understanding of the day circumstances and he allowed my husband and I to embrace each other in a hug once I got to the alter.

Pastor Corey cares himself with great poise that’s reassuring for such a demanding moment in ones life. I’m beyond blessed that he wed my husband and I but more importantly we finally gained a spiritual advisor in our new city. Thank you Pastor Corey xo.

Absolutely Amazing!

Corey Alley is truly thoughtful, caring, and a professional person! He will make sure you know exactly what to do for your special day and will not hesitate to help you with anything you need. He is extremely easy to work with and completely works around your vision. He dressed extremely well for the day of and absolutely exuded confidence when speaking to everyone. It is obvious he has done this many times before and he is the type of person you want officiating your wedding. Everyone was in awe as he eloquently narrate and guided us through our ceremony. He literally made the moment magical for us and I could not recommend him enough!!!

Such a Blessing

My new husband and I had to postpone our original wedding date and that led us to searching for a new officiant, we came across Pastor Corey and man are we glad we did! From my first phone call with him I felt instantly comfortable. I truly believe God had a plan for us to meet him. Leading up to the wedding we had some pre-martial sessions with him and they were literally eye opening and life changing! He was super helpful when it came to organizing the ceremony and he’s such a great speaker! My parents instantly warmed up to him and he had such a calming presence when the butterflies would start to creep up. Thank you so much for everything Corey !

Awesome down to earth !

My wife and I knew from the moment we first spoke to Rev Corey that he was our guy. He was so easy to talk to and felt like we've known him for years. We had tons of some questions about the ceremony and he answered all of them without hesitation. His experience and caring heart truly showed during the whole process.

Corey is genuine, caring and passionate about what he does. He is also a complete blast and totally fun! There's a million stuffy and bland "blah blah blah" ministers out there so skip the search and book Corey. He is very professional and authentic. You'll be very glad you did.
