Rev. Corinne Mary Wedding Officiant from New York City, NY

I moonlight as the Reverend Corinne Mary, a non-denominationally ordained minister and New York State registered wedding officiant. As a comic book geek, sci-fi nerd, and general rock and roller, I tend to be the best match for an off-beat bride and her, his, or hir wedding party. Perhaps I have been lucky, but I have yet to meet a “bridezilla” or “groomster” and I genuinely cherish the time I get to spend with each couple that I have married. As a minister, I am spiritual but not particularly religious. I was raised Roman Catholic with hints of Judaism. I have no real affiliations aside from working at an esoteric witchcraft shop in the East Village for a few years in my earlier days. I am a legacy member of the Universal Life Church, an organization my father registered with in the 70s by mailing in a postcard found in the back pages of Rolling Stone magazine. Like most with my title I am a confident public speaker and became a registered officiant so I could legally perform weddings for friends. After the first few ceremonies, I quickly realized how much I enjoyed this new part of my life. I dig a lot of hocus pocus and love integrating a medley of ritual inspirations into a ceremony. Being part of the marriage process is sacred to me. I prefer to write customized sermons and work closely with the couples while writing them. Working with couples to create a perfect ceremony creates an intimate dynamic; this involvement at such a precious stage of a relationship is a privilege I deeply respect. While being a “Reverend” started out as an irreverent accessory, being a wedding officiant has become one of my life's great pleasures.
