The best thing about Pastor Cory is that he cares about your story. When my wife and I first sat down with him for our initial interview over lunch he spent about two hours getting to know us on a deeper level but we were having so much fun that it felt like we had only been there for ten minutes when the check came. Fast forward two weeks and it is the day of our rehearsal. Pastor Cory was on time, efficient in getting all our people organized, and he had everyone in stitches the whole time. Finally, on the big day, Pastor Cory delivered a beautiful ceremony carefully tailored specifically to my wife and I that brought many happy tears to friends and family. Oh, and not to mention he managed to make all of these wonderful memories for us in the midst of a global pandemic and strict state restrictions! We cannot give a higher recommendation of a service to trust with your big day!

Absolutely Amazing! Pastor Cory made our Covid Ceremony Incredible!
Can't recommend Pastor Cory enough! Even having to do a facebook live ceremony because covid changed our plans. He made a light heartfelt and fun ceremony for us. We happened to have found out about Pastor Cory, through mutual friends. Best decision ever. We gave him total free range, he wrote our vows and made fun references from comedy and super hero movies. Everything couldn't have been more perfect. We're so glad we have a recording for forever. Those moments Pastor Cory created for us, will last a life time.

Amazing experience with Cory!
Cory made us feel very special on our wedding day. He made sure to keep in touch, and verified all updates on time/location with me and my spouse. He is very organized and arrived to the wedding location right on time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to make their big day special!

Thank you pastor Cory you made my wedding day so special and just after a week after me and Michael wedding we are expecting our first baby. Every month on the 18th I will celebrate this moment with my husband because Aug 18th 2020 is our special day.

He Will Plan Everything For You!
Cory was great! He came from out of town to Richmond to have the service in my dream location. He always answered emails quickly and planned my whole ceremony perfectly when I did not know what I really wanted. It was perfect!

Simply the best!
Cory was very professional, flexible, knowledgeable and fun. He made our special day perfect. We had planned for a specific date and due to unforeseen world events, we didn't know if we would be able to keep the date. We were able to get our license at the last minute and Cory was the first officiant that I called. I just knew that he would be the right choice for us. He kept in close contact, was flexible and tailored the ceremony to our beliefs and personalities. We highly recommend him.

Rev. Cory was fantastic! Ceremony was beautiful and felt completely like he knew us as a couple. We had some jet noise and a few rain drops but the way he handled it, it felt like a blessing.

Wedding on Yorktown’s Schooner Alliance
Pastor Cory did a fantastic ceremony for us. It was challenging with the Covid-19 constraints and thus, had to be rescheduled three times. Pastor Cory worked through all the bumps with us. You will not regret choosing him for your event.

Fast Sign w/Rev Cory and Assoc
We wanted a relative to perform our ceremony. He is a minister but wasn’t certified to sign our certificate. Rev Cory and Assoc helped us pull off our last minute wedding (with just 3 days notice). They were professional and extremely responsive. The officiant was early, stayed for the ceremony and pics afterwards. Highly recommend!

Very Personable
My husband and I wanted to do a quick, simple wedding and Pastor Cory made our dream ceremony happen. We booked him really last minute (because we wanted a quick COVID ceremony and everything came together really quick) and he was very responsive without being intrusive. The ceremony was exactly what we asked for and he had us both laughing and tearing up. We are blessed to have been able to have Pastor Cory perform our ceremony. Thank you!!

One word describes Pastor Cory... AMAZING!!
We had a very small intimate ceremony and Pastor Cory made it absolutely perfect. I told him that I didn't have any preference to what I wanted included, except for love. I wanted everyone to feel the love between my now-husband and I. Cory did that and more. Everything was perfect, but we received more compliments on Cory.
