Maria & Cory’s Wedding

The Couple

Tell us a little about how you met

We were both 24 when we joined a dating website. We emailed back and forth 100 times and then decided to start having phone conversations. After 100 emails, endless phone conversations, and thousands of texts we decided to meet in person. We met halfway between Cleveland and Canton for our first date. We have been together ever since! 

Favorite moment of your wedding day

Maria- My favorite moment of our wedding day was walking down the aisle. I had been dreaming of that moment for so long and the venue was beautiful. It made my vision come to life.  

Cory- Seeing Maria come down the stairs in her wedding dress. I was so nervous up until that point and I felt relieved once I saw her. I will never forget that moment. 

Why the Encore Hall?

We made the right decision because our wedding day was perfect. Every single staff member was so helpful and welcoming. The venue was also extremely accommodating for anything we needed. Our favorite feature was the rooms to get ready in. It made for some amazing pictures and a lot of happy moments took place there. We could not recommend The Encore Hall more!

Advice To Future Couples?

Be sure to be present with all of the people who are there. Take a moment to say thank you, especially to those who helped with the wedding. We wrote something special for each person at our rehearsal dinner and it made it memorable.
