    Don't Hesitate

    Cory couldn't have been more responsive from the first inquiry on. He walked us through all of the requirements and paperwork needed to be married in PR and made the process just flow. He is professional, supportive and committed to making everything work out. He was super flexible with respect to our ceremony and is just one of the nicest guys you'll meet. We would recommend Cory to anyone.

    What a splendid couple and love story! What a joy to meet this couple and see the love in their eyes for each other. Thank you, Mark & Michelle for your kind and encouraging words!

    The perfect balance of spirituality, lightheartedness, and love!

    Cory was an amazing officiant! We wanted our ceremony to have some religious notes, but not be too serious or long, and he did a perfect job! Our guests loved the blowing of the conch shell at the end! We booked the all-inclusive package, and it was so nice not to have to worry about going to the demographics/doctor’s office or filing our marriage certificate. Communication was great throughout the process, and I highly recommend working with him!

    Celebrating Your Wedding!'s reply:

    Very encouraging words, thank you! My #1 'rule' is to find out what the couple desires in their ceremony and then flow with that. This was an easy couple to work with and it was a joyful honor to be their officiant!

    An outstanding officiant

    Choosing Cory to be our wedding officiant was one of the best decisions we made in preparing for our beach elopement ceremony in Puerto Rico. Cory was responsive, professional and inviting from our first exchanges. We were so fortunate that he was available for our wedding date. Cory is very knowledgeable about the ins and outs of getting married in Puerto Rico and walked us through the options available to us. He was very accessible throughout the process and answered all of our questions. On the day of our wedding, Cory was a reassuring presence. He made our ceremony so personal and special. Cory readily shared his experience of being married to the love of his life for 46 years which was truly an inspiration to my husband and I. Cory's faith was also a huge draw for my husband and I in choosing him as our officiant. We could not have asked for more. Cory was so professional and patient with us throughout the process. We are so grateful to Cory and recommend him highly to anyone who may be looking for an officiant in Puerto Rico.

    Celebrating Your Wedding!'s reply:

    Thanks Katie & Josh! I'm totally aware that the wedding day is a very special and unique day for the couple, so I do try to put my heart into it. It was a joy working with this very sweet and solid couple. Hey! Let's do a renewal of vows on your 10th anniversary! Waterfall blessings!

    Honest, Professional, Above and Beyond!!!

    Cory was amazing. I trusted him from start to finish. He was super responsive to all my questions. The day of our wedding, he was communicating all morning. It was raining so he came and picked us up in his car. We needed a few items to use during our ceremony he offered some suggestions and brought the items with him to make it easier on us. He went above and beyond to make our special day extra special. I would highly recommend him!!!!

    Celebrating Your Wedding!'s reply:

    Thanks for the kind words. God brought this couple together. Special story and special couple! They came in on a cruise ship and because they lined up all the paperwork it was smooth sailing for them to be legally married. All the Best!

    Not only did Cory respond quickly to my requests, he was able to accommodate us short notice! He was thoughtful and kind, an all around pleasure to work with! We renewed our vows for our 20th anniversary, and would love to to do it again with Cory’s help! Cheers to 25!

    Wonderful Experience

    Cory officiated our ceremony on Ocean Park beach in San Juan in April, 2023. He personalized our ceremony and it far exceeded my expectations. I will never forget how beautiful it was and I'm so happy we choose him! He was incredibly easy to work with and helped us sort out all of the details. I highly recommend him!

    Celebrating Your Wedding!'s reply:

    Wonderful couple! A joy to work with. Theirs was a legal wedding and because they put everything in good order, going through the process was smooth without a hitch. And they have a baby girl on the way!!!

    Pastor Cory is the best!

    From the first call I knew pastor Cory was the officiant for us! He is super responsive and professional and really helped guide us in the decisions for our ceremony. He is super affordable and he was sure to include words that fit into our lives perfectly! Highly recommended!

    Cory Casterton is the best!

    Cory is one of the most down to earth, genuine people we have ever met. We planned a destination wedding and had no idea who to hire for our officiant, but I think our wedding planner matched us PERFECTLY! Cory began the process with a phone call to get to know us, learn about our history and create a ceremony that matched US. He is very attentive to detail and very efficient in his process, also offering lots of fun options (blowing the conch shell at your ceremony is A MUST!!!) to accompany the ceremony. We chose the concierge option he offered since we are from NC and he took care of all the paperwork from start to finish, making the process legal and EASY! Couldn’t give him more than 5 stars here, but in real life, he’s a TEN!

    Celebrating Your Wedding!'s reply:

    Very appreciative of those kind words! It was a joyful honor to be the officiant of this very cool couple; they have a great future together!

    This was a very sweet couple to work with! We were able to communicate well before the wedding so I understood their desires for their special day. They have a great future together!

    THE BEST! Straightforward and makes it fun!

    Cory was the BEST! I was nervous about hiring someone to marry us without knowing them, but from our first few interactions over email I felt comfortable right away. Cory made everything easy and listened to what we wanted for our ceremony when we spoke over the phone. He was extremely patient with me and my husband as we tried to navigate the legal process, and came to our rescue when it was too overwhelming! Everyone loved the ceremony and it was exactly what WE wanted. I am so so thankful to have had the chance to work with Cory and thankful he was apart of the best day of our lives!!

He was fully invested in making our wedding ceremony exactly how we wanted it to be. He also had great suggestions and he communicated with us so well throughout the process. We are so happy we chose him! You will not regret it!

    Pastor Cory 4-13-22

    Pastor Cory is the kindest, sincerest soul! He made our process seem less in helping get our paperwork together… and I cannot say enough wonderful things about what a beautiful Ceremony and day he created for us. Said every word with love and kept the moment fresh and light-hearted. He will always be family to us!!

    Pastor Cory helped make our ceremony an incredible experience. We're from out of town, so Cory went out of his way to make the process as effortless as possible from start to finish. He met with us multiple times over video chat, then met with us in person the day before our wedding to iron out any last details. The ceremony was very personalized, we are so happy with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Cory for your PR wedding!

    Great Experience

    Pastor Cory was a referral to us and from the beginning he was so very pleasant to work with. We decided to do a legal ceremony in Puerto Rico which is a bit more time consuming and a process, but Pastor Cory was with us the entire way and extremely knowledgeable on the process and what we needed to do. He came up with a beautiful ceremony for us and said so many kind words. I was very pleased with his service and our overall experience with him. I would definitely recommend Pastor Cory for any officiant services!

    A wonderful experience

    Cory is amazing! He is a warm and loving man of God with a heart of gold. We had a last minute destination wedding and he helped us pull everything off, BEAUTIFULLY, in less than a week. If you want an officiant who has their finger on the pulse (policies and regulations have been changing frequently), who is super organized and who goes the extra mile then Cory is your person. He made sure we had everything we needed so that getting our marriage license was a seamless process. Most importantly, Cory blessed us with a beautiful ceremony that he put together because we were so busy. We highly recommend Cory!

    Such a great experience from start to finish!

    Cory was recommended to us by our wedding planner, Rosalina Torres and he was the perfect fit for our ceremony! The communication was perfect and that is important for a destination wedding. He got to know us and his readings selections were perfect! I loved having the conch shell ending and so did our guests! He is a genuine personable individual who will not let you down!

    Officiant Cory was punctual and informative. He has done this for many years and he made us feel comfortable.

    Pastor Cory was as warm and loving in person as he was in his emails to us and his phone calls. You can tell he has a loving relationship with his wife and he’s passionate in his service. We had the “conch” sound which was a nice touch by the ocean.

    From the beginning to the end Cory was great. He was always there to answer any questions along the way and even offered us a ride whenever we met with him. The ceremony went flawlessly. We had it predominantly in English with summaries in Spanish. Highly recommend him.

    Pastor Cory is the BEST! He was always punctual for our first meeting, rehearsal and of course the wedding! He was so responsive throughout our whole planning process. He gave us so much guidance for the ceremony! He recommended different readings, fun activities like the blowing of the conch, and he was just so fun, happy and comfortable to be around! He even incorporated some of the things he asked us when my husband and I initially met with him into the ceremony; for example, why do we love about one another. I would definitely recommend Pastor Cory! Thank you for officiating our wedding, you were awesome!
