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!!From This Day Forward's reply:
Janine, it was a pleasure! Your friends and family made us feel just as comfortable as with you and Nick. We just matched the Love being celebrated and reflected it back to you! We wish you and Nick continued success on the Path you two now walk as Husband and Wife! -

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.From This Day Forward's reply:
Raven, we thank you and Royal for your kind words. We enjoyed the day thoroughly. May y'all have the best life together! -

Penny G. Sent on 10/14/2019A 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!From This Day Forward's reply:
Thank you, Mrs. Durbin!
It makes it all so easy when the trust levels are there. I knew we wouldn't let you and Rob down!
Did you get the plumbing fixed???!!!

Kate Sent on 06/11/2019Great Experience
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.From This Day Forward's reply:
Hi Kate,
Thank you for taking the time to review our services and for the very kind words! We truly do care about our couples and treat each wedding as if it were our own. Your wedding was truly one of our top 10 to perform. The ceremony was timeless and so elegant especially being held in the beautiful St. Luke's Chapel. We really would love to stay in touch and have dinner sometime! Thank you again for the honor!! -

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!From This Day Forward's reply:
Shelby and Jay;
You and your friends made our job so easy! What goes around comes around, and the Love that goes around you and Jay, and extends to your friends and family standing up for you, came back in the celebration that was your wedding. We just went with the Flow! Thank you for the privilege. May you have many years of happy memories!
Love to you,
Rev Ray and Karen -

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!From This Day Forward's reply:
Manny and Brittany;
Thank you for your kind words. We enjoyed meeting your families and making sure your wedding came off flawlessly. Y'all made our job easy! We've since been asked to perform the Rosary Lasso ceremony on two other occasions!
Best wishes for many happy years together.
In Service,
Rev Ray and Karen -

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.From This Day Forward's reply:
Hi Lindsay,
You just brought tears to my eyes and a lump to Rev. Ray's throat after reading your very kind words! To say it has been a pleasure working with you and Shawn to bring your vision to life is an understatement! We want to wish you both all the best that Life has to offer. You and Shawn will ALWAYS be so dear to us as well. Please stay in touch! -

Amanda T. Sent on 03/10/2019Delightful, Touching, Flexible, Flawless, and Memorable!
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!From This Day Forward's reply:
Andi, I said it to you earlier and will say it again here; Your and Thadd's love for each other is a testament to the Power of Love. It never fails! If, at any time, you and Thadd wish to renew your vows, give us a call. It would be our pleasure! ~Rev Ray and Karen -

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.

Cathy Sent on 11/27/2018Wedding on Folly Beach
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!!From This Day Forward's reply:
Cathy, it just goes to show you that the best things in life are worth waiting for. You and Jamie know that, for sure!
It was an honor and pleasure to be part of your Big Day!
Love to you both,
Rev Ray and Karen -

The ceremony was blessed from start to finish.

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!
From This Day Forward's reply:
Jane, Ray and I want to thank you for your kind words regarding our services. It was such a pleasure working with you to ensure that Shelby and Collin's wedding day was wonderful! We can not thank you enough for all of your planning! A Day of Coordinator's responsibility is to take the plan and bring it to fruition so that the wedding party, families and guests can relax and enjoy the day. We had the pleasure of working with seasoned vendors who shared that philosophy, and assisted greatly, in making Shelby and Collins day perfect. You were amazing!! Should you ever want a job assisting us...
Warmest regards,
Ray and Karen Moore

Sydney Sent on 04/25/2018Reverend Ray was a delight to work with. He captured our vision of a hybrid wedding, combining a christian wedding with quaker traditions smoothly and eloquently. He and his wife Karen make a great team and made our special day perfect.
