Made our Ceremony the BEST!!
Reverend Ray officiated our wedding on 06/04/2021 and we're so happy we went with him for our special day. We got married outside at a private venue in Charleston and while we wanted a casual lighthearted experience, we still wanted a religious aspect to our ceremony. Reverend Ray delivered on all levels! our ceremony was fun, lighthearted, personalized but also involved God and prayer. It was perfect! We met with Ray when we first booked and got to know each other. He made us feel super comfortable and we felt like we had known him forever. We also met Karen on the day of our ceremony and she is so lovely! She even sent us beautiful pictures that she took during and after the ceremony. It was such a great surprise. All around 10/10 I would highly recommend!! -

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. -

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! -

Ray and Karen are a power-duo. They genuinely care about the couples they work with. Ray crafted a wonderful ceremony for us and Karen did a great job facilitating it by timing the entry of bridesmaids and making sure we were on schedule. -

Reverend Ray and his wife Karen were absolutely amazing - I highly recommend their service for your wedding day! My husband and I are local to Charleston - we met Rev Ray and Karen for coffee beforehand to talk about our ceremony - they had some amazing recommendations and were so nice!
We had a rehearsal the day before our wedding and Rev Ray talked us through everything to prepare us. The wedding day went perfect! We LOVED our ceremony and we didn't realize this, but after, Rev Ray & Karen provided us with a binder that had our ceremony in it - we are so thankful for this (it also had our marriage license and forms for changing my name)! On top of that, all of the papers in our binder had our ceremony venue as the background (Karen took the photos the day before)! It was such a special touch & we are so thankful for this so we can look back on our wedding day!
If it couldn't get any better, Rev Ray & Karen also provided us with photos from our rehearsal and our wedding day! Karen is such a talented photographer and it is so nice having those photos :) I can't say enough good things! They are wonderful genuine people! -

Brittany Sent on 05/19/2019Amazing couple to officiate a wedding!
Rev. Moore and Karen Moore were both very helpful and dedicated to our service. One of the challenges going into the wedding day was the fact that it was going to be a accumulation of catholic, Presbyterian and sprinkled with a little bit of American and Mexican Customs and traditions. Rev Moore
kept an open line of communication and assisted us throughout the entire process. Rev Moore and Karen set up meetings with us and we went through a breakdown of what we wanted for our wedding day. I was blown away on the rehearsal as everything went smoothly and Rev Moore was overly
prepared and dedicated to giving us an amazing wedding. I cant thank Rev Moore and his wife Karen for officiating our wedding and making it extremely stress-free. Rev Moore was always on time and answered every question and concern we had, I cant thank them enough for the level of professionalism
and dedication that they showed to my wife and I. Will highly recommend them for every wedding! -

Professional experts
Reverend Ray and Karen Moore made our wedding day perfect. Ray provided us premarital counseling sessions, which was truly helpful to making our marriage foundation stronger. Karen took my floral vision and exceeded my expectations. I literally was brought to tears when I saw her work. Our venue was changed at the last minute from a courtyard to an indoor space and she transformed the new area to feel like a magical garden. As a couple they went beyond there contracted duties and we could not be more thankful to have them helping us. The only thing I would have changed is I wish I had utilized their services for the full “wedding package” instead of trying to do most of it on my own to save overall costs. I could have and should have entrusted them with handling every detail. Ray and Karen will always hold a special place in our hearts. -

Reverend Ray is an amazing officiant. We planned a very small and simple ceremony, yet Reverend Ray and his wonderful wife gave us the time and attention we would have expected only with a large event. We met in advance to get to know each other, and we covered everything from personal histories to ceremony details, logistics, and preferred attire. On the big day, Reverend Ray conducted a flawless service with every detail we requested and then some. His wife took many photos and shared them quickly, and we were presented with the written ceremony beautifully packaged. My deep gratitude and highest praise are offered for This Day Forward! -

Amazing Wedding Experience, Highly Professional, Fantastic Floral and Same Day Coordination.
Karen and Rev. Ray made the perfect combo for our small yet elegant Charleston wedding. Of all vendors, they proved the most communicative, professional, timely, experienced, and artistic coordinators of our wedding day. They provided a wealth a happiness, spiritualness, and guidance for our big day along with plenty of flexibility. We recommend them to all. Stop looking and communicate your needs with 'This Day Forward'. Karen even took amazing photos aside from our photographer and provided them immediately so we could post to friends.
Sincerely, Kevin and Angie -

Reverend Ray and his wife Karen were awesome to work with and highly recommend! They met with us, emailed examples of vows, ideas on our sand ceremony and embraced our thoughts of a personal greeting at beginning of ceremony I had typed. Due to Hurricane Florence, we had to reschedule. Understandably, I was so disappointed in postponing, but Reverend Ray and Karen were so reassuring when I needed it the most. Jamie and I were so happy on our big day and our ceremony was beautiful. By the way, we received a notebook of our vows, with helpful information from this vendor and we really appreciated everything SO much. We would highly recommend to everyone!! -

The ceremony was blessed from start to finish. Words could never express the gratitude that we have for this beautiful couple who took their time with us and paid attention to the smallest details to ensure that all went well. Every moment of the wedding was special because of the services provided by Reverend Ray and his beautiful wife, Karen. It was perfect! -

Jane Sent on 06/15/2018Ray was the officiant for our daughter and son-in-law's wedding. It was the perfect blend of tradition with current day meaning. Karen was our day of planner. She really did her pre-work to get to know all of our vendors. I planned all of the details and Karen proofed my work and helped to fill in any gaps. We worked as a team until the day before when I surrendered all of the details over to Karen. She was so wonderful and thorough. I was able to fully enjoy the special day and knew that Karen had everything under control. Highly recommend. A pleasure with which to work!
