Father Vince Corso

ith our budget!

e weren't sure what to expect. When we did meet him in person there was this calming energy around him which we both needed, wedding planning can be crazy. Vince is very genuine, kind, and caring. You can also tell how passionate he is about his work. He gave us some homework to complete, as well as some helpful advice/information for couples. We answered a bunch of questions in the homework, sent it back to him, and in return we received 2 versions of a ceremony along with reading options. The day of our wedding, Vince showed up an hour early which was great. He was able to take care of our marriage certificate paperwork with our witnesses. The ceremony we prepared together was nothing short of amazing. Vince really made the ceremony all about our love for each other, it was a perfect blend of us. I remember standing at the alter doing a reading together, and I was clearly nervous. Vince put his hand on my arm. I was able to take a breath and finish the reading, it was nice to have him up at the alter with us. Vince made our wedding ceremony extremely simple. He was very helpful in the suggestions he made, but most of all he listened to us and what we wanted in our wedding ceremony. During our reception, most of our guests went out of their way to tell us how they thought Father Vince and the ceremony were amazing. We are so grateful to have met Vince and feel lucky and honored to have had him be apart of our wedding.

ect us as a couple - and it definitely did. Father Vince, thank you for making our ceremony so lovely and better than we hoped!

couple, provided marriage advice and fun exercises for us prior to the wedding. He also provided us with step by step instructions on obtaining our license and marriage certificate, which was very helpful and one less thing to stress over. Our ceremony was so perfect thanks to father Vince’s expertise, guidance, and getting to know us. We are so grateful to having found him and had married us!

es you into his home and provides a safe space to create the most intimate part of your wedding day! I could not recommend him more. Bonus points cane after finding out that he was an LCSW; made my decision all the more clear coming from an LSW myself :)

ontacted Vince and promptly received a response from his wife, Christine, who is the sweetest (not to mention she makes the BEST scones!) and provided all information up front. We scheduled a FaceTime call with Vince, being that we are from NY and he is located in NJ. After the call we knew we wanted him to take part in our special day. He was so welcoming, easy to talk to and made the process so easy. We met on two occasions and he really took the time to get to know us as a couple and provided a customized plan for the big day. My favorite part of the ceremony was the ring warming - where our wedding bands were blessed by each of our families. Thank you Vince and Christine for playing such a huge role on our day!

ut of state but got married in NJ, and Father Vince found a way to make it work! He facetimed with us multiple times, really took the time to get to know us as a couple, walked us through the whole marriage process, answered all our questions, made us feel confident, and above all, put on a beautiful ceremony. I should also mention he married us on his own wedding anniversary! He is dedicated to helping his couples and I would definitely recommend him!

truly understands your relationship and picks the perfect words to say at the ceremony. Our guests were raving about the ceremony and how special Father Vince made it. His wife, Chris, is so fabulous to also work with and always makes sure everything runs smoothly. She also makes delicious muffins! They are remarkable people you want to keep in your life :) Do not think twice -- call him now and book him for your big day!

ried in the church as I no longer identify as catholic and my husband doesn't identify with any religion and wanted something more secular. That being said, Fr. Vince blew us away with his ability to understand who we are as a couple, what was important to us for our ceremony, and how to blend Christianity with other elements to create a moment that truly reflected us as a couple, while honoring our families. He is warm, genuine and truly seeks to understand the couples he works with to create a ceremony that encapsulates them. Our ceremony was very personal, and Fr. Vince not only commanded attention as an excellent orator, but as a calming, grounding presence on our wedding day. People came up to use all night to tell us how powerful and moving our ceremony was, and that it was their favorite part of the day. I think that's a very unique complement to receive as most people want the ceremony to be quick so they can get to the party, hardly acknowledging it. Fr. Vince reminds people that the ceremony is actually what the wedding is all about. We had not a dry eye in the house due to his ability to help us create the most personal ceremony we could dream of. We will miss visiting him to chat about our vision while having coffee and delicious scones made by his wife!

ed Greek Orthodox traditions with Methodist and Catholic traditions and it was perfect! We loved being able to incorporate scripture readings, unity candle, incense, and the stefana crowning ceremony. Thank you for truly making our wedding ceremony the focus of our wedding day not only for us but for our guests too!

ng to a friend. We spent 2 hours with him at our initial meeting and the time flew by. His wife is a sweetheart and bakes delicious treats (just a bonus!). Our ceremony was personalized to us and was so meaningful. Father Vince remembered things we had told him in our initial meeting and really made our ceremony revolve around us as a couple. It was spiritual, lighthearted and very well rounded. People complimented us all night on how great of a job he did. I cannot recommend Father Vince enough if you are looking for an officiant give him a call!

We were looking for a religious (based on Catholisim since preists don't marry outside the church setting) with hints of lightheartnessed and humor. Father Vince hit it right on the spot. He was the most perfect fit for us and we are truly thankful and grateful for all he had done for us. Thank you so much Father Vince!

ings as we live in NYC (with no car) and he’s in NJ. Everyone at the wedding told us how much they loved the ceremony as well. It was truly special and unique to my husband and I. Highly recommend!!

was a pleasure. We loved spending time with him (and eating his wife's banana chocolate chip muffins!!!) and getting to know him/him getting to know us. It was nice to know that he was invested in making our ceremony exactly what we envisioned. When our wedding day finally came, he was cool, calm and collected - which helped us be, too. We'd of course read through the ceremony before that day, but the way in which he shared his words made it feel so personal and special. And the little 'surprise' touches he threw in were some of the most meaningful parts of our day. I've never before been to a wedding where so many people commented on the ceremony, but my husband and I received so many compliments - and that's all thanks to the love and attention of Father Vince. Look no further than him as your officiant! Thank you, Father Vince!

ing about how great the entire ceremony was! He recommended readings, helped with the flow of the ceremony and helped us make our ceremony our own. We wanted a religious ceremony that was also romantic and about us and Father Vince delivered on all aspects.

to officiate our marriage was the best decision we could have ever made, is an understatement. From the beginning of the marriage preparation to the day of our wedding (and even following), he has been absolutely wonderful. We are truly grateful for the process; Discussions about what marriage means to us, helping us explore our dreams and goals as a married couple, customizing our ceremony to include important aspects of our faith (both raised Catholic) and family. This made our ceremony the central and most important part of our big day, and it will be cherished forever. Thank you Father Vince for everything! He is truly THE BEST.

ermon. Fr. Vince really takes the time to learn who you are as a couple and delivers a beautifully personalized service. Extremely professional and highly recommended!

concerns. He helped us grapple with some decisions we needed to make about how much of our religion we wanted to incorporate into our ceremony. He was completely willing to adjust his style based on what we wanted. Additionally, he helped us work through some questions we had about traditional Catholic weddings, working with the church, and also offered us resources outside of his scope to help us prepare for marriage. He was also willing to work special moments into our ceremony and was totally flexible about last-minute changes. We got many compliments from our guests after our ceremony who enjoyed his sincere, yet casual style and felt it was a very personal and intimate ceremony.

est parts of our special day. We are still receiving rave reviews about how he captivated everyone from the first moment. It was a true honor to partner with Father Vince. He listened to what WE wanted - something extremely valuable to a couple during a vulnerable and emotional time. He delivered an extraordinary ceremony that was in alignment with who we are and still resonated with everyone in the room. He takes his role seriously but with a fantastic and necessary sense of humor. From start to finish, he emanated pure Love. What more can you ask for your wedding day?!

and his wife Christine are incredibly kind, genuine and easy to talk to! Fr. Vince really took the time to get to know us as a couple and tailor the ceremony in such a beautiful and unique way. It was truly my favorite part of the entire day. Thank you Fr. Vince for making our day so special!

dding. He listened to our story and how we envisioned the ceremony, and blended the perfect combination of love and faith. Our guests and parents were so blown away by the thoughtfulness that went into the ceremony and we couldn't imagine anyone else officiating our wedding. Father Vince and his wife, Christine, are lovely and we highly recommend him to any couples.

wedding. Father Vince met with us and discussed ways to keep the ceremony moderately religious (as we requested) while also incorporating some of our own personality and establishing the vibe we wanted for our ceremony. Father Vince had great suggestions regarding readings, prayers, and rituals and showed us things outside of the traditional Catholic Church standard that we could utilize in our ceremony which is exactly what we were looking for as it allowed us to customize our ceremony and make it more individualized as a reflection of us as a couple . He was extremely flexible with our schedules when it came time to meet. Father Vince was very responsive to e-mails and phone calls. I did not finish my vows until less than 24 hours before our wedding and Father Vince still looked them over for me and brought them along with him. Father Vince did an excellent job with our ceremony and our families were surprised by how beautiful a non-traditional ceremony could be. A huge thank you to Father Vince for all that he did for us leading up to our wedding day and on our wedding day (including standing outside for a ceremony in 37 degree weather). Thank you for capturing our vision for our ceremony and making it come to life.

assionate and perfect for our wedding! We met Father Vince twice at his home to get to know each other and discuss our relationship. We also talked about the importance of a loving and healthy marriage. Father Vince wrote a beautiful ceremony that was filled with joy and laughter. It was truly everything we ever wanted and more! My husband and I highly recommend him!

r Corso takes the time to create a relationship, to ask questions, and not make you feel like a process. Also, and most importantly, Father Corso was able to convey the exact message and wish for our ceremony. I could not feel any happier and proud to have had Father Corso with us on such a special day. Smiling from the heart :)

g ceremony. We loved it!!! We are very grateful for his support, kindness, and beautiful words on our special day. Our friends and family loved it as well and shared how it was very “us”.

at home. He has a way about him that makes you feel as though you’ve known him for much longer than you have. This is largely due to the extraordinary way he listens to you. He takes his time in getting to know you as individuals first and then takes such meticulous care of the stories you, so naturally, share with him of how and why you chose each other. He then beautifully translates these stories into the most intimate and personal ceremony you could imagine. Choosing an officiant, for us, was our most important decision. We wanted it to be inclusive and warm, both of which Father Vince executed flawlessly. He built a ceremony that was tailored to us perfectly and our guests mirrored these sentiments as well. Throughout the entire night, we were approached by our guests saying how beautiful and authentic the ceremony was and how impressively well it depicted our love for each other. Out of all of the decisions we made during this time, Father Vince was the very best one. I would say, “choose him now”... but I’ll say, just meet him instead, because I’m certain that after you do, you will.

er Vince my fears had disappeared. Father Vince talked to us and guided us in understanding the true meaning of marriage. This was done over a series of meetings. We would meet with him at his house to discuss marriage and our vision. When we met with him at his house, we also had the privilege to meet his wonderful wife, Christine. What a sweet woman! He made everything that was important to us stand out on our special day. On the day of the wedding he was there well before the start time and kept us both calm. His words were ones that stuck not only with my husband and I, but also with our friends and families. I highly recommend Father Vince knowing that you will have an amazing experience and memories that will last a lifetime.

anning the ceremony. He made our wedding feel meaningful, personal and special. We would recommend Fr Vince over and over.

s wife welcomed us to their home for our first meeting and we immediately hit it off. He took the time to learn about us and our story, and helped guide us through all the details of our ceremony and gave us the opportunity to personalize it in so many ways. I was about as nervous as it gets the day of the ceremony, but Father Vince was a calming influence by my side to the very end and I will forever be thankful to him.

gave us lots of helpful information to guide us through the marriage process. My husband and I were both raised Catholic and we were so happy to find Father Vince - he was able to give us the religious ceremony we wanted outside of the church. He gave us such unique and personalized ideas to make our ceremony even more special. Our guests absolutely loved his ceremony and they all commented on how it really seemed like he took the time to get to know us! We were a part of the ceremony planning process from the start and we really appreciated that. If you are looking for someone to make your ceremony all about you and someone who will take the time to get to know you as a couple, please contact Father Vince immediately! We cannot say enough great things about Father Vince - we thank him from the bottom of our hearts for being such a special part of the happiest day of our lives!

a way that was less focused on Catholicism (and Judaism) and more on celebrating our respective traditions. When we reached out to Father Vince, we knew immediately that he was the right fit for us. He was responsive from the start, and he assured us that he wanted nothing more than to make our wedding the way WE wanted it to be. As he wanted to ensure he got to know us as individuals and as a couple, he invited us to his home in NJ to meet with him personally, where we discussed our vision for the wedding, as well as our backgrounds and our dreams for our future together. His lovely wife Christine even met with us and shared some dessert she had just baked! Once Father Vince had crafted a "script," (really more of a guide/outline for the ceremony), he shared it with us for our feedback, and we worked together to make any minor edits we had. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early and came to say hello to me (the bride) beforehand - and because he is such a warm, caring individual, he put me at ease before the "big hurrah!" Ultimately, he and the rabbi worked together to deliver a beautiful ceremony that we'll never forget. We cannot thank him or sing his praises enough!

meet someone that you know is going to be a great friend and is going to be in your life for a long time set in. The great conversations we had and moments we all spent together getting to know each other and opening up emotionally to each other about our lives n feelings only fortified the relationship I already had with my fiance (now my wife) and I thank Father Vince for allowing that to happen. He is a blessing to us and did such an amazing job at our ceremony. The beautiful words he spoke and the amazing job he did involving our 4 year old son, I can go on all day but I'll stop now and just say thank you Father Vince, I will always refer you. from Kenny, Jackie n Jake

ce of who my husband and I both are individually and together as a couple. Our guests are still commenting about how great he was. In fact, some of our friends chose him to officiate their own weddings as well. We were worried about finding someone we didn't know to officiate our wedding, but Father Vince made our ceremony feel like we've known him for years. Father Vince spent time getting to know us beforehand, not only so he could tailor our ceremony perfectly to what we wanted, but also because he was sincerely invested in the success of our marriage. Father Vince provided us with different options for readings and vows (and offered that we could provide our own as well). He worked us with to structure the ceremony to incorporate as much religion and spirituality as we wanted. On the day of our wedding he arrived early, and was just as excited as we were for our big day. The ceremony he delivered was so special and meaningful. His words were beautiful and carefully chosen to reflect us as couple. It is clear that Father Vince really cares about all of the couples he marries! If you want a ceremony that is beautiful, meaningful, and custom-tailored to you as a couple you should make Father Vince your officiant!

we were welcomed to make ourselves at home. Talking with him about our relationship, and what we wanted our wedding ceremony to convey really helped us feel prepared for the big day. Our guests could not stop talking about his beautiful words and the ceremony he had put together for us, and we would not have it any other way! Please consider choosing Father Vince as your officiant; my husband and I are certainly glad that we did!

ul Father Vince was. He truly made our wedding special.

spiritual, and perceptive to the religious tone one wishes at a wedding. He carefully & thoughtfully tailors each ceremony according to the couples' wishes. Our ceremony was EXACTLY the tone we imagined. He brought our children into the ceremony in the most beautiful ways. Our guests are still saying, "where did you find Father Vince?" You will immediately feel at home and your wedding will come together if you call Father Vince.

ch, had everyone partake in his ceremony scriptures, and had me and my husband in tears, that's how deep his words were. Loved him!!! If I had 10 people who were getting married, I would of recommended Father Vince Corso to all of them. He made our day. He made us feel so comfortable and happy and smiling. AMAZING!!! A+++

nd wonderful! Father Vince speaks to your soul and draws your entire group of attendants (for us 300+) to him. He speaks from the heart, he gets to know you, he looks to ensure that the epitome of your relationship is captured and honored. He is better than most full-time priests and his words speak to everyone (of all races and religions)! If you want the best, go for Father Vince!

and meaningful ceremony, exactly like we wanted. His wife is a sweetheart, too, and makes you feel so welcomed in their home!

s the first one available for a call and we never turned back. We knew immediately that he was the one. Even over the phone, he was very personable and made us feel comfortable. There wasn’t an awkward moment, and we knew there wouldn’t be one at the ceremony either. Its worth noting that our venue, the Liberty House, recommended Father Vince and it was further comforting that he had done many ceremonies there. We met Father Vince twice at his home to get to know one another and discuss our relationship. He provided thoughtful input, guidance on traditions, and wrote a beautiful ceremony. The day of, he arrived early and coordinated with the venue and other vendors seamlessly. During the ceremony, he was kind, well-spoken and funny. We had an unusual blistering 95 degrees day, and he kept the crowd going even though he himself was covered in sweat. In fact, several guests made it a point to mention how great he was! We are so grateful and lucky to have found Father Vince; he truly made our wedding ceremony special!

ant a lot. The service at our wedding was truly so well put together and i really loved the sermon he put together. We had so many compliments and everyone loved Father Vince. We cannot say enough praise about him. Thank you again Father Vince, you truly are the best. xo Lauren and Nick

d helped us include the family members we wanted to be part of our ceremony. I highly recommend Father Vince for any wedding ceremony -- big, small, religious, non-religious, custom or traditional.

From the moment we met him, Father Vince was warm, friendly, understanding and very funny! Within the first 5 minutes we knew he was the perfect person to guide us in that special moment of saying I DO! Not only did Father Vince spend months working with us to create a perfect ceremony, he often counseled and advised us in building a healthy, long-lasting marriage. He also took the time to make sure we understood the process of obtaining a marriage license and marriage certificate. I feel like it is so easy to get caught up in the stress of planning a wedding but every time Michael and I would have a conversation with Father Vince, we felt so much more relaxed and excited for the big day to come! Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. It was filled with joy, laughter, everything we wanted and more. If you are reading this PLEASE do yourself a favor and utilize Father Vince for your ceremony! Thank you so much for a truly wonderful experience that we will never forget, from start to I DO!

e extra mile to make this time in the life of the bride and groom a special one. I truly cannot say enough positive things about him.

d his pre-marital counseling, helping us think about what we wanted our marriage to look like. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

to our relationship. He was so well spoken and we got so many compliments about the ceremony throughout the night. We would highly recommend using him for your wedding!

s a real testament to Father’s character. Our ceremony was beautiful, thanks to Father Vince. We highly recommend Father Vince for your wedding. Jim and Domenica Copenheaver Rock Hill, SC

was exactly what we were hoping for with a blend of the Catholic Faith and a personalized touch. He put us at ease with his sense of humor and caring words. When we met with Father Vince his wife Chris welcomed us into their home and as soon as the meeting was over we knew he was the right person to marry us! It was everything we hoped for and more!

d out what type of ceremony we were looking for. He offered the traditional Catholic service or a more current, spiritual ceremony based on Buddhist principles. We wanted a combination of the two and Vince did such an amazing job that our guests kept coming up to us at the reception to tell us how great our officiant was and how he made the ceremony so interesting! People still talk about it! We couldn't be happier with the way our ceremony turned out. He made the process so seamless and easy, and the price was very reasonable. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

and he was very helpful with guidance and suggestions. He was also very flexible the whole way through. As an added bonus during the months leading up to our wedding day, his wife Christine was such a calming inspiration, always checking in with us to offer her help in whatever way we needed her. When the big day came, they both drove way out of the way to our ceremony site in Montauk, and Vince delivered in a way that far exceeded our expectations. The ceremony was so perfectly personal. All of our guests agreed....it was all in all terrific. We could not be any happier with Vince.

the information you need to make sure your ceremony is perfect and exactly how you want it. Our ceremony was absolutely beautiful. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the service was by Father Vince. He made everyone feel like they were involved in the ceremony and he fit it to exactly what we wanted. You need Father Vince!!!!

us. He supported as much or as little "religion" in our ceremony as we wanted, and was able to bring in both faiths. As a retired Priest we loved how he had a great understanding of religion, which was unlike any other officiant that we met with. He and his wife Christine were very warm and welcomed us into their home to meet with him, offered us coffee cake and we could have spent all day chatting. He took the time to get to know us to know what we wanted from our marriage/life and honestly cared about making our ceremony special for us. You will be very happy with your decision!

time tweaking it before the event. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a special touch for your ceremony I'd tell you that you can't go wrong with Father Vince!

ith us, and suggesting beautiful readings. He was flexible on using vows that felt personal and the entire ceremony was like a dream it was so wonderful. We also met with Vince twice prior to the wedding, which helped us get a feel for his style and him for who we are as people and a couple. We have received many compliments on how beautiful our marriage ceremony was and it is in very large part thanks to Father Vince!

ot so long as at some point he said “you may now kiss the bride.” Let me just say, how wrong I was. Father Vince made all the difference, and our guests are still commenting on what an incredible ceremony he performed. Yes, Laura and I were there too, but the combination of Father Vince’s warmth, wisdom, and message as we blended our two families was perfect. Naturally, one might ask “why,” and “what made Fr. Vince so good?” So let me explain: Prior to meeting, "Vince" and his wife, Christine, made a point to e-mail extensively with us regarding who we were, and what we were looking for in our ceremony. Then, with a template in place, we discussed at length what our ceremony would be like, family participation, and how much spirituality and religion we wanted to incorporate into it. Vince met with us at home so he could learn even more about our lives. We sat like old friends and discussed how we met, our circumstances, and hopes for the future. He took the time to take notes, ask questions, and perhaps, most importantly, to become our friend. He demonstrated that he really cared, and we felt like we were talking with a favorite Uncle who happened to volunteer to perform our wedding ceremony. When our day finally arrived, Father Vince was there (early) and getting set up. He then delivered a ceremony with the perfect blend of spirituality and meaning that we hoped for. In fact, he was so complete in his message, and in his knowledge of us, that after the ceremony all of our guests just assumed he was either a longtime friend or family member. If you seek a custom wedding service with a meaningful message of love and harmony, then look no further. Do yourself a favor and talk to Father Vince and Christine. Laura and I are so glad we did and are honored to call them our friends.

et in person with Father Vince a few months before our wedding and he was able to customize our ceremony to exactly what we wanted. The day of he was there early to get our marriage license in order and even helped keep this nervous bride calm :) He was super helpful and responsive along the way. He also gave us lots of great advice and we read through the binder he gave us about marriage often. I highly recommend him!

k care of all the paper work and delivered a beautiful ceremony!
