Dear Reverend Elking   Thank you so much for being our wedding officiant and traveling to our house in the middle of nowhere.  The ceremony was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect!  And all my guest thought you were great.   I admit i was a little nervous because we where not able to have a rehearsal, but you where a huge help in making it all come together, and we can’t thank you enough!     Thank you so much for being part of our special day. 

                                                                         - Sincerely Danielle & Greg

Hi Sark,    I just wanted to give you a big thank you for our wedding ceremony on December 29th. It was absolutely beautiful and could not have been more perfect for us! So thank you again!

-Thanks Fran -

Rev. Elking,...

We just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for officiating our wedding last week. You did a wonderful job - the words you said during the ceremony were just perfect, and we really appreciate the time, energy, and care that you put in to our special day. We're so glad we found you.

We wish you all the best, and continued success!  

                                                                         -- Greg & Colleen-

4.9 for the overall rating, as it should be a PERFECT 5. We would rate Reverend Sark even higher, if we could. My husband and I both love him! He was extremely flexible and accommodating. When we needed it, he provided spot-on advice. He is a great speaker, and more importantly, his message was loving and inspirational. We had a small, private ceremony and afterwards my husband commented that it was almost a shame that there weren't more there to share such a beautiful ceremony. He would easily be an appropriate officiant for two or two thousand guests. If he gave a weekly service, you would find us in his church every Sunday. We recommend him without hesitation.

Thanks for the beautiful, last minute ceremony! We appreciated your accommodation of us, and really enjoyed the simplicity.

                                                                                             -Carlisa Martin-

I was 100% satisfied with your service! We wanted small and simple! We had just that! I forgot my camera and they were wonderful enough to send me some photos! :) Thank you so much!!

Words cannot express my experience with St Louis Wedding Chapel. I was a little nervous choosing someplace out of state, I am from Arkansas, to get married. Sark at St Louis Wedding Chapel was amazing. My calls were always returned in a timely manner. I was able to get the day I wanted. The words he chose for our ceremony were PERFECT!! It was like they were written especially for me and my husband. Very professional. I would recommend this chapel to anyone! I am so confident about this chapel that I will offer my email address to anyone that has any questions.. Please feel free to contact me.. my email address is:::: lncl1967@yahoo.com.

I could not have asked for someone better to marry Andrew and I! Sark is an amazing guy, and he can make your vows so beautiful! So happy we chose Sark Elking to marry us, and we will recommend him to everyone we know getting married!! THANKS SARK!!! :)   

Emily

My husband and I highly recommend The Wedding Chapel! Sark Elking is a wonderful person and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding day! Sark (officiant) and his wife Teri (our wedding planner) gave us exceptional and outstanding service from the time we started planning, to the day of our wedding. They are very professional and have so many great ideas, and so much experience which made us feel they were perfect for what we wanted! Anyone who chooses The Wedding Chapel will be very pleased with what they can offer for you! They are so wonderful and made our dreams come true!

-Dorie Hootselle-

We hired Sark Elking as our officiant for our wedding ceremony at the Jewel Box in St. Louis. Sark was a great help in guiding me on how to write our ceremony. He made great suggestions and offered experienced advice. We also hired his wife, Teri, to coordinate the ceremony. She was amazing! They guided us through the decisions we had to make and were very professional. They took time out of their busy schedules to attend our rehearsal dinner and make sure everything was just right. These two know how to run a show and you can tell they love what they do!! I highly recommend them! :)

Wedding: 1+ year ago

Thank You Very Much

From first contact throughout the entire process Reverend Elking was extremely professional. We really weren't sure what we wanted the ceremony to include and he provided guidance and helpful suggestions that made our ceremony perfect. We wanted to get married in a non-denominational ceremony, on the deck of the (empty) house we purchased the day before the wedding (in the middle of the move) and Reverend Elking arrived (with his wife who even took pictures) got started and was super accommodating amidst the confusion. Would recommend him wholeheartedly to ANYONE!! Thanks again, Reverend Elking!!   Wedding: 07/06/2012

Steve & Tara

Rev. Elking & Ms Teri…

We wanted to thank St Louis Wedding Chapel and you two for making our day a very special one.  Your Chapel was beautiful and the service was great.  It was very memorable.  We were very pleased.  Thank you very much

I had a rather unusual problem....finding a minister to conduct a wedding ceremony for friends from England, who wanted to get married at the top of the Arch. After surfing the Web a bit, I found a site for Rev. Elking at St. Louis Wedding Chapel. I called him to explain the situation and he was very helpful right from the start. This man is amazing!!

Through emails and phone calls, my friends and I provided all the necessary info he needed. Can you imagine creating a lovely ceremony for 2 people you met with briefly the day before the wedding?? All I can say is that his words at the ceremony brought tears to eveyone's eyes. The wedding couple, Mark & Sue, remarked many times that Rev. Elking perfectly captured exactly what they wanted in a loving and memorable ceremony.

I highly recommend Rev. Elking and St. Louis Wedding Chapel....If he is your final choice as an officiant, you won't be sorry.

Rev. Sark Elking was a great choice to be our officiant. He was always able to be reached and was very professional. He was willing to make the ceremony however we wanted but also had great ideas for when we had no idea what to do. He led a beautiful ceremony for any denomination and we were lucky to find him.   Wedding: 08/16/2014

We highly recommend Sark Elking as an excellent wedding officiant. We are a "mature" couple that wanted a nice but low-key wedding ceremony, and Sark understood this perfectly. He was flexible in meeting with us on our schedule, and offered great ideas for the ceremony. We were married at Mineos Restaurant at Westport and he showed up early and walked us through all the details. Best of all, his ceremony was perfect, with a mixture of humor and sincerity. We had a wonderful wedding, thanks in no small part to Sark Elking!
