wedding 10.5.19

Rev. Moore and his wife Karen were super sweet. I had so much going on the day before the wedding and accidentally forgot to get an extra container of sand for the sand ceremony. They told me not to worry about and were kind enough to pick it up for me. Also, during the rehearsal my coordinator was not well organized and Rev. Moore stepped up and took over so that my ceremony would have the order that I was hoping for. His service was excellent, very professional, easy going, and the best officiant EVER!! I highly recommend using his services for your special day.

A wonderful experience!

Hiring Rev Ray and Karen Moore was the best decision we made. They couldn't have been more helpful and easy to work with. They helped me find a photographer and a violinist, both of which were wonderful. I also hired Karen to do my flowers and they were absolutely beautiful. We were very happy with the ceremony Rev Ray performed and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you both for making our wedding day a breeze!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

As a wedding musician, I get to meet and observe hundreds of wedding officiants all over South Carolina. When I met Rev. Ray and Karen, I knew that they were exceptional. They performed a beautiful ceremony and customized everything to what the couple needed. I recommend them!
