Merl Moore officiated our wedding on March 8^th, 2008 and we could not be any happier. He was available to meet with us at anytime throughout the process and was always very detail oriented like ourselves. He truly makes your day special, and so as a bride and groom, all you have to do is show up. It is true! He is so much more than just an Officiant. He assists throughout the entire event to make sure it runs smoothly. He also helps you feel at ease during the ceremony and leading up to the ceremony. He definitely goes the extra mile!

We will definitely recommend Merl to any of our friends who become engaged!

Sincerely,

Mark and Sarah Wilkerson

The candle lighting for my dad was a special touch that I know my mom will never forget. That added event is what I will remember most about our wedding with the exception of marrying my life long soul mate, Ben. I would also like to thank you for putting the whole thing together for us. We had no idea how to pull this off and you were very professional in the way you showed us what to do. Again, many thanks.

Thank you Rev. Moore for the beautiful words that you spoke at our wedding. They touched our hearts deeply. The way you incorporated the doves into our ceremony was truly one of the most spectacular events that we’ve ever witnessed. Everyone at our wedding complemented you on how beautiful you made our special day. Enclosed is a token of our gratitude.

Forever grateful,

Our wedding at St. Chappell winery was the best wedding I’ve ever attended. I’ve been involved in a lot of my friends weddings, but none compared to mine and Scott’s. The music was great and the way you worked that into the ceremony was absolute genius. Keep up the good work and if you ever need a reference, please let us know.

April and I cannot thank you enough for making our wedding the wedding of her dreams. My parents were very impressed and I’m sure if April’s parents were alive, they would have found it to be a wonderful experience.

Our wedding took place at the Sandstone Event Center in Nampa Idaho on March 17^th, 2007. We could not have been happier with the way the entire staff at the Sandstone handled our wedding. We would like to extend special Thanks to Rev. Merl Moore for the way he made us feel special and the way he coordinated the entire ceremony and moments before the ceremony. We would also like to extend special Thanks to the Sandstone DJ – Kaleidosound Mobile Music for the great reception after a truly beautiful ceremony. We highly recommend these services for a great wedding and reception.

Sincerely,

I first met Rev. Merl Moore at the funeral of my father. Rev. Moore officiated at that funeral and made it a very beautiful and sentimental service. Because of that, when I needed an Officiant for my wedding, I wanted to hear what Rev. Moore could do for us. From the very start I was extremely impressed with his professionalism, his sense of humor and his dedication to Cory and me. Rev. Moore conducted the rehearsal in such a way that was easy to understand and for everyone to follow. Even though the rehearsal was fun and very beautiful, it wasn’t until the actual wedding that I realized how fantastic our wedding was. When the time came for me to walk down the aisle, I was very nervous. It wasn’t until I was standing in front of Rev. Moore that I knew that this was truly the wedding I had dreamed about since I was a little girl. Thank you Rev. Moore for the hard work you put into our special day and if you ever need a referral, please don’t hesitate to give me a call or feel free to give out our phone number.

Sincerely,

Corbin and I would like to thank you for the beautiful and meaningful ceremony that you supplied for us on April 17^th, 2007. Because our wedding was the first one ever at Castle Gardens, we were expecting to run into some problems. However, between you, Ronna, and DJ Dave, the most important day of my life was absolutely a great success. The way Ronna helped us before the wedding was truly a statement for “great planning.” The way you made us comfortable before, during and after the ceremony is a good statement for “going above and beyond the call of duty.” The music that DJ Dave played at the reception was outstanding and everyone had a great time. I’ve already referred a few people to you and I know you will do your normal good job with them as you did for us.

Enclosed is a small token of our gratitude. Thank you again Rev. Moore.

Sincerely,

Vanessa Bess and Corbin Brown

We live in Cheyenne Wyoming and had no idea how to hire a wedding minister. I did an internet search and found Rev. Merl. When I spoke with him on the phone, I was skeptical that anyone could make a wedding as beautiful as he said he could. I’ve seen a lot of weddings, and most of them are the same “cookie cutter” style of wedding. When Rev. Merl told me that I probably have not seen a wedding like one of his or probably ever would again, I was of course more than a little skeptical. But because no other minister in Boise would talk with me because of how far away I was, I had little choice but to hire Rev. Merl “sight unseen.” I can say, “WOW, I’m glad I hired Rev. Merl.” Even though this was my wedding and no other wedding could compare to mine (from my perspective) I’ve never seen any other wedding done like this, and it was by far the best experience I’ve ever witnessed. I can’t say enough about Rev. Merl and his ability as a wedding pastor. Out of all the weddings I’ve ever attended, none compares to mine. Thank you Rev. Merl for making the most important day of my life; the most spectacular day of my life.

Affectionately,

Thank you Merl for the beautiful vow renewal ceremony you did for us at the Castle on July 2^nd, 2007. If we knew how beautiful this ceremony was going to be, we would have had you perform our original ceremony 14 years ago. If you ever need a recommendation let us know. Again, our sincere Thanks for your help and dedication.

When I was planning my wedding, I had no idea how to make that all happen, Because my parents are not local, I was left up to my own imagination on how to make our wedding day very special. My friend Jennie seen a wedding you did last year and suggested that I call you. After we hired you, I mentioned to my mom who we had hired as our minister, and it was at that time that I found out you went to High School with both of my parents. My mom remembered your sense of humor and said our wedding should at the very least be “interesting.” My dad lives in Washington and was not able to make the wedding, but as you know, my mom was here and she said she was very surprised at how beautiful our wedding was because of the way she remembered you from school. I can’t begin to express my thanks to you for how you were able to put our wedding together and put my mind at ease prior to the big day. I know you had another wedding after ours, but it would have been nice if you could have stayed for the reception. We had great food.

Love,

Rebecca Rankin and Jamie Hull

Thank you Rev. Moore for coming to Idaho Falls to perform our wedding. I know that August is one of the busiest wedding months for you, but we will be eternally grateful to you for the wonderful ceremony you did for us. My parents were worried about hiring a minister from out of our area, but after the fantastic ceremony that you did for us, they are now more confident in my decision making process. We would also like to thank you for bringing your own DJ with you for the ceremony. The DJ we hired for the reception said he had never seen a wedding done like this before. When you mentioned that the expertise of the DJ is one of the things that makes you so good, I didn’t know what that meant until our wedding. This is our official Thank You note to “Idaho’s Wedding Team” which consists of Rev. Merl Moore and Successful Celebrations.

Sincerely,

Danyelle (Kiger) and Tollen Harker
