    Heather and I Highly Recommend!!!

    Heather and I both highly recommend you consider The St. Louis Wedding Chapel and Rev. Sark Elking for your ceremony. He led our entire party through the pre-ceremony instructions, performed a beautiful service, and stayed around for post-wedding photos and conversation. He provided a wonderful wedding experience that we will obviously remember forever.

    Wonderful service

    We wanted a quick wedding with a small number of guests. Reverend Elking performed a wonderful ceremony with a non traditional speech that was touching and beautiful. I would highly recommend him.

    The Officiant we didn't know we needed!

    My now husband and I had a tough time finding an officiant for our wedding that was affordable and willing to travel. We knew Sark Elking would do an amazing job from the moment we met with him. Our ceremony was simple and romantic which is exactly how we wanted it. Sark was reliable and helped us during the rehearsal so we felt prepared during the wedding ceremony. I can't thank him enough for making everything go smoothly.

    Better than I could have imagined

    This deceptively small building hides within a stunning, intimate room that is tasteful and beautiful. The atmosphere is relaxed, romantic and welcoming. All our pre ceremony jitters just melted away.
    We left the ceremony to the officiant to create, which turned out to be a wonderful decision . My wife was in tears listening to the
    Words, and the sentiment they carried. I may have had something in my eye, as well.
    I can’t thank you enough for making this day as special as it was. A memory we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I cannot recommend this place to others strongly enough.

    The Absolute Best!!

    WOW! We were so blessed to have found Sark!! We were planning our wedding from Florida and decided to book Sark before even meeting him in person, it was the best decision ever! He is so sweet, very organized and took so much stress off of us. He made our ceremony incredibly special and very memorable. I can't tell you how many guests reached out to us afterwards to compliment us on the ceremony and compliment Sark's work. Choose him, you will not be disappointed!!

    Amazing Officiant!

    Sark Elking was our officiant for our wedding in June with St. Louis Wedding Chapel. It was such a pleasure having him as our officiant for our wedding! He has such a warm personality and he worked with us to create a truly beautiful ceremony incorporating both of our backgrounds and was perfect for both of us. I love that he suggested saying a special short paragraph about each other during our vows. When seeing and listening to this back in our wedding video, we are truly so happy and it made the day that much more special. We definitely recommend him to any couple getting married!

    Amazing 👏 we could not be happier with our ceremony!

    Sark was the perfect fit for our wedding. Our ceremony was personalized and beautiful. He took the time to get to know us and make our ceremony special. Everyone who attended our ceremony made a point to stop and tell us how much they enjoyed it! We would 100 percent recommend!

    Made other couples hold each other with his words

    St. Louis Wedding Chapel was a pleasure to work it. We talked to Sark and he seems like a great fit. He knew the venue well and little personal ideas to use. Having many text conversations and in person visits, everything was planned out. Being a professional, I left much of the words and ceremony to him. Sark did such an amazing job that a friend told me he couldn't help but hold his wife and saw many people doing the same. He was professional and humorous which is exactly what we wanted.

    Top Notch Professional.

    I have been to a lot of wedding ceremonies, Reverend Elking with St. Louis wedding chapel knocked it out of the park. He was amazing professional, caring, and calming everyone’s nerves was the icing on the cake. He knew how to control the wedding party without being over bearing, and keeping everyone on track. His personalization and his words we’re point on. The wedding was over two weeks ago and everyone is still talking about the ceremony that he performed.

    Perfect!!!

    Best officiant ever! He truly made our wedding ceremony feel special and full of love. He did a beautiful job and I would highly recommend him to anyone else looking to tie the knot. If I could give him a higher rating I would!

    Reverend Sark Elking is absolutely amazing!

    As a mother of a daughter who has been waiting to watch her daughter and future son in law get married, our bubble was burst when we found out that their wedding day might be cancelled. Luckily, we reached out to Reverend Sark Elking. We have been to a couple of weddings that he had officiated so there was no doubt that he was the one.
    On extremely short notice, he went above and beyond to make sure that during this confusing time, that their day was truly special. The ceremony was exactly what they wanted and all of our quests were raving about the wonderful ceremony.
    Reverend Sark Elking preformed such a beautiful ceremony. So, my advice to all brides and grooms who are looking for someone to officiate their wedding, look no further. He is the one for you! He spoke with them many times throughout the planning process and asked them many questions to ensure the ceremony was exactly what they wanted.
    Reverend Sark Elking is truly a professional and spoke deep powerful words during the ceremony that touched everyone at the park. I highly recommend him. Rev Sark is the BEST!!!
    He loves his work and it shows!

    Beautiful Chapel!

    We had a wonderful experience with the St. Louis Wedding Chapel! I communicated with Mr. Sark via email as soon as I became interested in the chapel. From the very first email he was informative, quick to response and it was very convenient to make payments electronically! The chapel is exceptionally beautiful!!! My photographer captured beautiful pictures inside the chapel ! Mr. Sark was very interested in how we wanted the ceremony to go...beliefs, preferred names and he had a wonderful speech before we said our I DOs . We are very happy we chose to get married here!

    Great Officiant

    Rev. Sark Elking was thorough, friendly, professional, and thoughtful. Me and my now wife used his expertise on 10/4/20. We were very pleased with his services and we could tell he was an experienced professional. I am very glad we chose him as our officiant for the big day.

    Lovely ceremony!

    We were so pleased and glad we chose to use Rev Sark Elking for our ceremony. From the beginning, he allowed us to structure the ceremony with readings and a mini candle ceremony to our preference. We met a few times before our wedding, and day of he came early to go over the whole ceremony with our parents and the string quartet we had hired. Everything was flawless and flowed smoothly. We didn't write our own vows, but did write letters which we shared with him, and he incorporated small pieces from them into the ceremony. The small group of people that attended were very impressed and only had good things to say about our ceremony.

    Very happy we got married at St Louis Wedding Chapel

    My girlfriend and I live in Alabama and decided to take a trip to St Louis at Christmas time to see the botanical garden Christmas lights. I'm very glad that she picked St Louis Wedding Chapel. Rev Sark Elking was extremely professional and did a wonderful ceremony. He was so kind to help us with photos since we didn't have any family or friends with us. The man definitely has a way with words because he had us both in tears. I would definitely recommend St Louis Wedding Chapel!!

    Beautiful Ceremony

    I’ll be honest—we were initially very nervous when our friend suggested a wedding officiant he’d found online. However, we both knew after our first meeting with Reverend Sark that we had, miraculously, found exactly the right person to conduct our wedding. Reverend Sark started by asking us what we wanted in a ceremony, and then he listened carefully and took detailed notes. We were not disappointed on our wedding day. The words Reverend Sark spoke were beautiful with accurate descriptions of marriage. He custom-tailored the marriage ceremony to meet our needs.

    As an interfaith couple, we wanted vows and rituals that reflected us and our spirituality without being overly religious. We wanted vows that would move our religiously diverse guests without offending anyone. Rev. Sark’s knowledge of diverse marital traditions surprised us. In fact he knows much more about the meaning of the traditions in our religious backgrounds than we do! He happily explained traditions and allowed us to choose those most meaningful to us.

    Somehow Reverend Sark captured the feelings we have for each other perfectly. Our ceremony was beautiful in every way with Reverend Sark blending elements from both of our backgrounds seamlessly. Our guests have raved about the service. We could not be happier. We highly recommend working with Reverend Sark to anyone getting married.

    Fun and Professional

    My husband and I reached out to Rev. Elking to officiate our wedding ceremony. He responded nearly right away to set up a meeting. We met with Rev. Elking a few months prior to our ceremony and got to know each other. We could tell right away what a welcoming, fun, confident & professional, yet easy-going man he was and knew right then he was perfect to officiate our wedding ceremony. After a second meeting weeks before the ceremony, we left feeling very comfortable and educated on how things would run for our big day. He even had some great ideas to add some personal touches to our ceremony. The day of the wedding, he showed up with ample time to discuss any last minute questions. He seamlessly guided us through our ceremony it went so smoothly. His words spoke directly to my husband and I’s relationship like we had known Rev. Elking much longer than just a few months. Our guests spoke very highly of him afterwards, and really enjoyed what he had to say. He is very professional and is great at making an inherently nervous setting very comfortable. We are glad we reached out to Rev. Elking and we would definitely recommend him!

    Amazing all around!

    Rev. Sark Elking was phenomenal! He was so nice and easy to work with from the beginning! Sark took us through every step that we needed, took the time to get to know us, and made us feel so comfortable and stress free along the way. He made our ceremony unique and beautiful and we could not be more thankful. We had so many guests come and compliment us as well about how great of a job he did. I would recommend Sark to anyone, he went above and beyond for every step along the way!

    Very pleased

    The inside if the Chapel is very cute and nicely decorated. We we're greated as soon as we walked in. The Reverend took the time to explain everything and was very easy to talk to which put us at ease with the entire process. He even took the time to get to us before we did anything. I would definitely recommend St Louis Wedding Chapel!

    Simply the best!!

    I am so grateful we found Sark! We had an impromptu, surprise ceremony in the middle of the week on a whim. We met Sark just a couple days before our ceremony and we immediately sensed how much he cared. He was professional, enthusiastic, and just simply the best! He asked us about details we hadn't thought about and made our ceremony as special as it could be. All of our guests were surprised to learn that we barely met because he really nailed our vibe as a couple so well. He couldn't have been better!

    Blessed!!!!

    I've been to a lot of weddings but none like this. When he started to speak everything else was void it was as if god or the universe spoke directly thru him to us. I really still dont know how to explain it other than it was a gift/blessing to us. I will never forget that day or the way it made me feel. If you are looking for a memorable service, I recommend you book your special day here.
    Thank you again for being part of my special day I will always be greatful and remember you.
