Cori was the perfect officiant for our intimate wedding of 16 people. She was prompt leading up to the wedding with any requests + changes we had. We were looking for a non-religio...
us ceremony that reflected our passions of travel and nature, which she mastered.
On the day of, she arrived early and prepared. She delivered a beautiful ceremony for us. Thank you, Cori!
Cori was absolutely wonderful to work with! Our wedding ceremony was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Thank you Cori!
Cori was the perfect wedding officiant. She was quick to respond and gracious enough to work with us on short notice. Our ceremony was everything we had imagined and we couldn’t ha...
ve done it without her guidance. Thank you Cori!
Wow, where do I begin? Cori is absolutely amazing. I found her on Wedding Wire. I sent a request to Cori asking about her pricing, etc. and within 5 minutes of sending in the reque...
st, I had a missed call from her! I promptly called her back, and we spoke on the phone for over an hour. I felt like I was talking to a long lost relative! She is so genuine, caring, and personable. I felt an immediate connection with her, and just knew I had to have her as my officiant! Cori kept in contact with me via text, and any questions that I had, she promptly replied. I will never forget the day she sent over my ceremony write up. It had me in tears, and was everything i could have wanted, and more! I love the fact that she wanted to include some sort of funny and unique comment towards the groom, and bride that really highlighted who they are as a person. She offered some great ideas to really hit the nail on the head as to who we are, and our guests REALLY enjoyed the unique touch it added to the ceremony. Fast-forwarding time to our wedding day. She arrived early, made sure that I was really to take the plunge into holy matrimony! She worked so incredibly well with my wedding coordinators. She spoke loudly, and clearly to ensure that everyone heard her. Most importantly, she made sure that Aaron and I were engaged in one another when we were saying our vows. She made sure to take her time, and speak slowly to us when we had to recite back our vows. After the ceremony had ended, we signed our wedding license with her, and she was very clear and detailed on the next steps she needed to take in order to send our license off to the state. She handled everything for us. She was such a blessing to have officiated our wedding. I can't thank her enough for this gorgeously written wedding ceremony. As far as I am concerned, Cori is hands-down, THE best wedding officiant on the entire East Coast. I cannot say enough great things about her. Thank you so so much, Cori! With love, Lindsay.
Cori is the absolute best!!!!! She went above and beyond from day one. She is helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant. I’m so appreciative of the time she invested in our elopement. I...
t was perfect, and I attribute it all to her. I could not have planned this event without her. Her sweet spirit was a blessing during the ceremony, and I will be forever grateful that she was our officiant. Hire her. You will not regret it.
From the first phone call we had with Cori I knew she was the one I wanted to have marry us. She was so personable and took time to talk about what we wanted for our wedding and a...
little bit about ourselves. She responded quickly to emails/calls/texts. We had a simple, beach ceremony and it was PERFECT!!! She helped us choose a fantastic spot on the beach, and even helped with photos. She is very easy to work with and I am so pleased with how everything turned out. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!!!
We had the pleasure of working with Cori Carpenter, who was our officiant for our big day about a week ago. She was so easy and pleasant to work with, even though we were doing our...
wedding from afar! We were able to set up multiple phone conversations and we instantly clicked. We wanted a short and sweet nondenominational ceremony. She not only managed to include everything we wanted, but she made it so extremely personal to us. She took the time to get to know me and my now husband and was able to help make our day special, personable, and so memorable. I would highly recommend her!

Cori performed our wedding ceremony a few weeks ago in the beautiful city of Charleston, and it was absolutely wonderful. Since we do not live in the area, I did all of the resear...
ch remotely without having met with anyone in person or seen the location. Cori was so wonderful to work with. We spoke a few times on the phone prior to the ceremony, and she had sent me the vows and details prior. She even coordinated a photographer for us, who was great as well.
Cori knows the area and was able to consult on some of the best locations and time of day, etc. I would absolutely recommend using Charleston Intimate Ceremonies for your wedding!
Had an awesome time with my officiant. Very efficient, helpful, approachable and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! Excellent and beyond words grateful for all his help especially ...
that I'm from out of town and had a destination wedding!
I can't say enough about the service and attention I received from Cori & Robert while preparing for my ceremony. They went above and beyond in helping finalize the venue, ceremon...
y considerations we hadn't thought of, recommending other vendors, and sharing nuances of the Charleston area. Robert was invaluable and became my 'go to' person whenever I had any questions at all, and they didn't charge for all this extra help.
As for the ceremony itself, they were both very professional and made sure both the rehearsal and ceremony and went smoothly and we knew what to expect! I couldn't have asked for a calmer and easy-going officiant!
We also opted for their photography services and are thrilled with the images we received, so many precious candid moments that we can't believe were captured so beautifully!
A perfect day that will always be remembered! Thanks Robert & Cori!
Robert was perfect. He knew exactly how to coordinate everything relating to our ceremony, especially the last minute details of where to stand, how to walk, which directions to fa...
ce so that the camera gets the best shots, and other things we never would have thought of. One can tell that he is experienced at what he does. We were very happy with the level of professionalism when dealing with CIC, it was a real pleasure and easy to work with them. We had many other vendors to deal with all at once, so it was comforting to know that all ceremony details were taken care of, and we couldn't have asked for it to have worked out any better!
Charleston Intimate Ceremonies was simply WONDERFUL in helping us with the details of our wedding. Robert has so much insight into what looks good, when the light is best for taki...
ng pictures, how to pose for the most incredible photographic moments. I was more than thrilled to see the photos of our wedding, they just came out so perfect. We did not have a traditional church wedding and chose to be married on the beach. Robert had great suggestions on non-traditional ceremonies and helped us customize our ceremony. Because my husband's parents could not travel from overseas, Charleston Intimate Ceremonies had a solution for them to be able to watch the ceremony from South America from the beach - in real time !!!! As our wedding day approached and I was getting nervous about some last minute details, Robert had all the solutions and it was very calming to me to be able to speak with him and know that he had the ability to come up with workable solutions at the last minute at no extra charge. Cori officiated the ceremony and spent considerable time helping my husband get comfortable saying his vows. I wish every bride in Charleston to have the quality of service and the attention to detail that I received from this company.
After meeting Robert we knew right away he was the right person to perform a spiritual ceremony with a personal touch and emphasis on family. So he could get to know our families ...
and the bride, Robert offered use of his Palmetto Breeze Photography services to take bridal portrait photos. The results were so amazing that he also took pictures of the couple before the wedding and at the rehearsal dinner.
We can't say enough about the outstanding services Robert provided. He was incredibly thorough in his preparation and professional in the delivery of a beautiful ceremony. Working with Robert was a joy and highlight of the entire wedding planning process. We feel incredibly fortunate to have met such a wonderful man and he will forever be a friend of the family. I am not in any hurry for my second daughter to wed, but when the time comes, I definitely know who we will be calling first.
