“Corey made our queer ceremony extra special and we can't thank her enough. Everything she said was poetic, meaningful, an appropriate to the moment. Further, she was accommodating to our last-minute requests and gave gentle, needed structure to the spontaneity of event. We wish we could relive the day a million times and bring Corey along to officiate :)” - Juniper, bride.
“COREY SAVED OUR BIG DAY! Covid threw such a wrench in our plans--our original officiant pulled out a few weeks before and then our reception decorator got covid 2 days before. Corey jumped in, wrote and delivered a gorgeous ceremony and also made all the decor happen and look gorgeous for our reception. We owe her our first born!!!” - Ella, bride
Very warm and professional. Everyone enjoyed !!! - Terry T, groom
Our friend who was supposed to officiate pulled out last minute and Corey stepped in with less than 48 hours notice, wrote us a beautiful speech and performed a fantastic ceremony. - Courtney P, bride
We aren't a normal couple and we were really nervous about hiring someone since we sooo didn't want a churchy feeling…Corey was the perfect fit. She was creative enough to make my partner and I feel comfortable, and charming and warm enough to impress my mom…. not easy to do !! Would totally recommend her !! - Billie V, bride
Corey made our wedding the fairytale my wife had always dreamed of. She asked all the right questions to get just the right material and brought in readings that were so perfect for us. My wife framed her speech to put in our bedroom. - Jack B, groom
From the moment we got on zoom with her, we were obsessed. She's so easy to talk to and really puts everyone at ease--weddings are stressful and she made the day so much more fun than anxious. We want to keep her! - Jack & Claire T, groom + bride
She was so fun to work with and helped diminish some of the inevitable stress of planning a wedding. Working on the ceremony brought my NOW HUSBAND and I such joy, and Corey did a beautiful job of sharing it with all our loved ones. 10/10 would work with again! - Nancy H
If you're looking for a great officiant... Look no further!!!! Corey was better than we could have imagined. She created a deeply personal and moving ceremony and delivered it beautifully. She's a great writer and speaker who made our day exactly what we hoped it would be. Even my mother-in-law loved her...and that's saying something! - Gia H
Corey was an AMAZING officiant! Truly worth every penny and I cannot imagine my wedding without her. She is so well-spoken, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. - Hannah P
My wife and I were super all over the place trying to figure out what we wanted from a wedding ceremony and really didn't have any idea how to get started. Corey led us through an amazing brainstorm and helped us to find the tone and style that was right for us. We were very uncomfortable with a lot of the more typical heterosexual wedding conventions and Corey helped us to make a ceremony that was exactly right for our love and our day. We LOVED her! Tess H

“We had eleven days to find a new celebrant when the one we had contracted with 18 months earlier cancelled due to family emergency. Our wedding crisis was averted when we met Corey after a colleague who had known her in college recommended her to us. Corey was so confident and capable, but also warm and kind, our fears were assuaged immediately and our own confidence returned. We met with her a few times together and individually for Corey to get to know us, our histories and hopes, our anecdotes and anxieties. These meetings were very positive and despite the pressure we were under, even fun! So late in the planning, we already had made the decisions about our celebrant’s role, but Corey added new perspective. She had excellent ideas for readings and designed a ceremony that was perfect —engaging, loving, and charming. We could not have been happier with Corey’s participation in our wedding. What started out as a potential disaster turned out to be complete serendipity!” -Lulu, bride
“Corey was amazing to work with! She provided us with an amazingly written ceremony that brought us both to tears. She was patient and professional and had a warm personality!” Tahkiya, bride
We love Corey! I was anxious leading up to our wedding but she made the process so easy and special. She listened to us and really got to know us and it made our ceremony absolutely unforgettable. Thank you for being such an important part of the best day of our lives! - Rachael C, bride
She is so engaging and has a beautiful way with words! I would recommend Corey to any and everyone getting married. She's eloquent and so warm. She makes everyone feel like they're a part of the ceremony and truly knows how to cater to your needs as a client. If I were to ever renew my vows, she'd be my first choice. Don't miss out on this person. She will truly enhance your wedding experience. - Kacey N
I cannot imagine a more ideal officiant for such a special day for me and my now-husband Kevin. Corey made the ceremony so unique and special, drawing on her skills as a poet and performer to officiate with clarity and decorum. She met every request we made with ease and compassion, and wrote a ceremony that fully captured the nature of us as a couple. We will treasure the memory of Corey as our officiant forever -- she was truly a highlight of an incredible day. - Jake K
Corey was easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and warm. She tailored a mix of the traditional aspects, and personalized aspects, that made our ceremony special and meaningful. Corey wrote a beautiful ceremony that incredibly encapsulated the spirit of our relationship, which meant a lot to us. We are so glad we chose Corey to be a part of our special day. Corey took the time to get to know us, and this was made clear in all of the perfect details. - Ellis L
Corey was recommended to me by a friend who also used her as the officiator at her wedding. Corey was thoughtful, kind and patient, working with us to learn about us and our desires for our special day. I cannot express enough how beautiful our day was, and Corey’s presentation was beautiful. She is lovely and fun and accomplished. - Holly
Corey is love in action, which is why I highly recommend her as your next wedding or domestic partnership officiant. She is a poet, an oral storyteller that can verbalize your love to a room and help bring worlds together so they become one in this special day. I have never witnessed someone take such specific care of a couple before, and I am forever grateful that she guided my parents vow renewal. A magical celebration of love, partnership, and commitment - really highlighted by Corey’s care. I couldn’t recommend her enough for your special day! - Victor, groom
