Cory did such an amazing job with our wedding. Initial contact was through a mutual friend and using his wedding portal was so easy and trouble free. We gave him the info he needed to construct our ceremony (who we met, how long we had been together, etc.) through is portal and a friend of ours paid for Corys fee through the portal. So easy and trouble free. The day of the outdoor ceremony, it was pouring rain and very windy and I was extremely stressed about that, but he put both my partner and me at ease before the ceremony by telling us it was good luck for it to rain on your wedding day. The ceremony was everything I imagined it to be and he was very engaging with my partner and me as well as the wedding party. After the ceremony was over with, all the guest said what a wonderful job he did with our service and how impressed they were with his professionalism and his ability to engage with everyone. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant to perform their ceremony. Thanks Cory for helping make our ceremony a memorable one!

I cant say enough nice things about Cory! He was awesome and really made everything simple and easy. We were nervous because we had never met Cory before and we were nervous about the whole ceremony process in general but after meeting with Cory he really put us at ease. Also we only had to meet with him once and everything else was done via email/phone, which was very convenient. He is very professional and definitely knows what he is doing. We received several comments from our guests about how they enjoyed the ceremony and the stories and details he included. The ceremony ran smoothly and he was very personable and added in things to include the guests and make them laugh. I have recommended him to friends and will recommend him to anyone who is getting married, you wont regret it!

We had Rev. Cory as our officiant, I didnt include the rehearsal which made me a little nervous considering we didnt know each other and were not sure of the step-by-step for the ceremony!! Our first Skype call was really all that was needed!! He made us feel way better and really is the kind of guy who can make you feel safe due to his professionalism and good energy! He was extremely nice and got everyone to laugh during the ceremony which really helped the vibe stay upbeat and positive! The wording was more than perfect: Short but straight to the point! I was super pleased with everything and there is something about him that really makes me feel in peace with myself! Even my guests were saying how good he was!!

Cory did an amazing job with making our day as special as possible, creating a beautiful ceremony for just my husband and I on the beach in Newport News. Even without meeting us before hand, he was able to capture us in his words and make a very memorable experience. Most of all he was very helpful and pulling it off in less than a week! Nothing was actually finalized until about 2 days before our ceremony was to take place, but he was there the whole time to help me figure out how to get a marriage license without my fiance and willing to work with us on location and time to get us married before my husband got military orders cut. Thank you for all of your help and for giving us such a special, enjoyable ceremony!

I recently photographed an elopement that Cory officiated. He is the most charismatic and animated pastor I have ever worked with. He instantly established a connection with the couple and created an intimate ceremony for them as if he was the pastor at their home church and knew them their whole lives. Mixing humor with professionalism, he led the bride and groom through their vows like a true expert in his field. What an amazing experience! He is extremely personable. No matter what your style of wedding is, he is highly adaptable and will make your big day an event to be remembered.

Pastor Cory did a fantastic job at our ceremony. We were getting married outside, and it was close to 95 degrees the weekend we eloped, but he knocked it out of the park. He does a great job of tying your personal story of how you and your significant other met and fell in love. He is so energetic, funny, and a great listener. Many people a the reception site mentioned how they loved him. He is costly for his services, but there is a reason he is top rated. I would highly recommend Cory to anyone. If you want something that people will remember and enjoy book him.

Amazing is an understatement to describe Reverend Newell. He created a unique ceremony that was energetic, innovative, and mesmerizing. His personality mixed with our love and devotion created the perfect wedding ceremony. My family loved how he engaged the audience in the ceremony, and my mother in law loved the dedication ceremony. My friends are still talking about our ceremony and how beautiful it was. I can see why Cory is the #1 rated wedding minister in the Hampton Roads area. Thank you Cory, for making our wedding day special!!!

Cory did a wonderful job officiating our wedding in June 2017. We found him on a wedding website and booked him right away based on his reviews. My husband and I are Christians but do not currently belong to a church. Cory did a great job incorporating our Christian values into the ceremony. My family and friends were in awe of the ceremony. Many of our guests asked us if he was our regular pastor because how personal the ceremony was. We will recommend him to anyone who is looking for an officiant!

We cannot thank Rev Cory enough for everything he did to make our special day no less than perfect. The ceremony was tailored to reflect exactly who we are and will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Every aspect was professional and honestly made what we thought was going to be the hard part, finding the right officiant, actually was the easiest part. Our guest were engaged and are still talking about ceremony. Thank-you sincerely for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives.

Reverend Newell did an outstanding job as our wedding officiant. He catered to both of our expectations for the ceremony, and created a warm and enjoyable service for us as well as our guests. We could not have had a better fit for us as a couple! You can trust Reverend Newell to put together an amazing ceremony, and to interact positively and smoothly with your family and friends on the big day. He truly earned our 5 star rating!

Rev. Cory was absolutely amazing. He made both of us feel very comfortable and I do not like being the center of attention. Our ceremony was more than we could have ever imagined when we started this process. Everyone is still saying how funny and personable Rev. Cory was and asking how we found him. I promise you will not be disappointed one bit if you choose to have him as your officiant for your wedding day.

Cory was excellent helping me with our ceremony. It was kind of last minute but he was more than happy to help. He suggested places for us which was perfect since Ive never been to Newport News. The ceremony was perfect for Greg and I. We will, for sure, be calling him again for our vowel renewal. Thank you so much Cory for all your help you are a blessing.
