Rev. Corey Alley

If your in need of an sweet, kind hearted, sentimental, experienced, and strong-faithed minister for your wedding day book Corey! He is by far the best choice we made when it came to booking a vendor. He truly wants to make your wedding special. He brings a sense of calming and compassion that every Bride and Groom needs during their wedding planning process and especially on the big day.

Corey Alley did my best friends wedding and was an amazing speaker/preacher he really engaged the wedding guests. I booked him for our wedding and although he can be hard to reach at times and is not as quick as most business wedding vendors he still got the job done and was prompt at our rehearsal dinner and wedding. He has tons of different ceremony styles and we also sat down with him and made it very personal which I loved word for word. In person he gives his dedicated attention. I suppose the delay on email response is due to the fact he is a real preacher and just does weddings on the side. On wedding day he was v=well dressed. He prayed with us before the girls and the guys. And his preaching during the ceremony was phenomanal! afterwards he took pictures with us, I really think he is a great wedding officiant and a good price. Other pasters quoted us at $500 and up and you required to take a class Corey was much better priced.

Unfortunately I can relate to the other two reviews on here. Corey was MIA once our checks were cashed. We wrote our entire ceremony and sent it to him. When we met with him a month later he had no recollection of us sending it to him. Very hard to get his attention and feedback unless we were physically sitting in front of him. After the ceremony he did not turn in our marriage license in the required 10 days (it was 2.5weeks later), and then realized he wrote the wrong date on the license. We had to have him sign an affidavit in front of a notary which delayed the whole process further. Would not recommend if you're looking for someone responsive, willing to take the time to get to know you, and is truly in this business for the right reasons.

I typically would not write any review rather than write a negative review, however reviews were very important to me when I was wedding planning and I appreciated others taking the time to give honest feedback on vendors I was considering. With this in mind, I would warn others to look elsewhere for officiant services. The only time Corey was responsive to me was when I interviewed him. He was adamant that paying him an extra fee to attend our wedding rehearsal was critical to a successful wedding and pushed for us to spend the extra fee assuring us that it was a huge benefit to our day and that the extra money was worth it. Although on a tight budget, my husband and I fell for his sales tactic. We signed a contract and paid for the rehearsal and ceremony months in advance. Once Corey cashed our check I never heard from him except for the two times I had to follow up with him to ask for next steps on the ceremony vows and then to attempt to reconfirm our rehearsal time. He did not once reach out to me for the months before our wedding. What I did receive after I reached out to him, is a last-minute late-night email that he would not attend our rehearsal for his own personal reasons. He did not even bother to call me to discuss this. This caused a tremendous amount of STRESS the day before our rehearsal and caused doubts that he would even show up for our wedding. I immediately asked for a refund on the prepayment for the rehearsal and my request went ignored. My husband was forced to follow up with him the evening before the wedding to again ask for confirmation that he received our ceremony vows and planned to attend. It has been over 3 months since the wedding with well over 15 attempts to call, email and text Corey to return the money for the service he did NOT provide. Our follow-ups are ignored and the few times he has responded have been empty promises. Corey is unprofessional, dishonest and unreliable. At this point, I consider the money STOLEN. I see below that he has done this to others. At least they got their money back, after 3 months of follow-ups it does not look like he plans to do what is right for us.
