After reading the reviews below, I am not sure I can add anything. "what they said", lol. Rev. Sark was awesome. And the chapel is really cool. Highly recommend.
Rev Sark was an absolute delight! We are an interfaith couple and I wanted to make sure certain elements of both faiths were included in the ceremony and it was just fantastic! The whole ceremony went without a hitch and he answered the many qu...
estions I had during the whole wedding planning.
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!!
Any questions?
We cannot speak highly enough of Sark. He did such a wonderful job officiating our wedding. It was everything we asked for - a perfect mix of faith and speaking about us as a couple and our future together. He also did an amazing job running th...
e show, and at the rehearsal made everyone so comfortable and prepared for the next day. He seriously had every detail covered. If you’re looking for a wedding officiant, please look no further!
Rev. Elking was amazing! We had a non-denominational wedding at Four Seasons hotel and Rev Elking was so helpful, informative, and pleasant to work with. We had very limited experiences with a wedding ceremony and Rev Elking was there to assi...
st us and was extremely patient, accommodating, and guided us the whole way. We would have been lost without him. He gave an awesome speech and all of our guests loved it. We’re so glad to have found Rev. Elking as our wedding officiant.
Sark Elking was out officiant for our wedding in June. 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 backg...
rounds and was perfect for both of us. I love that he suggested saying a special paragraph about each other during our vows. When seeing 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.
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-weddi...

Reverend Sark Elking was a delight to work with. He made our ceremony very personal, beautiful and memorable! Highly recommend him to officiate your ceremony!
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 wedd...
ing 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.
St. Louis Wedding Chapel was a pleasure to work it. We tall to Sark and he seems like a great fit. He knew the venue well and little personal ideas to use. Havinh 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.
Having Sark as our officiant was one of the best parts of our wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better ceremony. He stayed to our wishes and made the ceremony not only memorable but also made it so everyone in the crowd could relate. He tied...
in our family and friends into our special day making themselves feel special too. Everyone of our guest informed us on how wonderful of a job he did. The words and emotions in the speech was so beautifully creative to the point where everyone person said when he spoke all they wanted to do was grabbed their loved ones closer and hold them tight. Our guest felt like they were falling in love all over again with their significant other. I would absolutely definitely and highly suggest him for anyone else whose looking to tie the knot. No one else I would offer, only him because he truly understands marriage and love.
St. Louis Wedding Chapel and Reverend Sark were amazing. The whole process was easy and affordable!! The chapel and props were beautiful and suited our small, intimate family gathering. Completely seamless and stress free.
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.
Sark is amazing! We were nervous about our big day but Sark and his wife made us feel so comfortable, checked in before the ceremony, and made it an unforgettable day for both of us. Without him I don't think our ceremony would have been as spe...
cial as it was. He is very professional and very kind. He talked with my husband before our wedding and like most couples my husband was just going to walk down the aisle to any old song. Instead, Sark suggested a song that really help put everyone in a good mood and lighten up the ceremony. He got to know both of us and really just made our ceremony better in so many ways. We have no regrets at all and I would recommend him to everyone! Thank you again Sark. You were wonderful!
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!
I highly recommend Sark! We didn’t really know what we wanted in a ceremony and he did such a great job. He was also very kind and patient with our large wedding party.
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...

Reverend Sark Elking is absolutely amazing!

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.
