  • Such a Meaningful Ceremony!

    Rev. Dave has such a great, social personality that we appreciated having for our ceremony. He finds ways to involve the guests in the ceremony, cracks jokes, tell our story, and make it such a meaningful ceremony for us and guests alike. There were a lot of tears shed during the ceremony (and not just from those of us up at the front). We had many of our guests tell us how great he was afterwards. Rev. Dave puts in a lot of care to making the ceremony special, including lots of time dedicated to the couple to learn more about them as well as running the rehearsal, making sure everyone does a great job for the day of. My husband and I really appreciated not having to worry about any ceremony logistics as Rev. Dave had everything in his hands!

    Rev. Dave Angle (The Wedding Rev) provided a detailed, informative and open communication style throughout our wedding planning process. Their work was truly top notch. He took our story, our inside jokes, and our love for each other and created a masterful script. His style is meaningful and well-thought out. On our wedding day, he keeping us on track and showed great poise that eased any tensions or anxiety we felt. Rev. Dave's contributions to our special day were invaluable - literally every guest I spoke to commented on how he was one of, if not, the best reverends they've heard and how the ceremony was romantic, light-hearted and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant to marry us.

    Rev. Dave Angle from The Wedding Rev was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding ceremony. His communication was always timely, clear, and enthusiastic, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of, he delivered a professional, personal, and detailed ceremony that perfectly captured our love story in a humorous yet caring manner. Rev. Angle was also incredibly flexible, accommodating our request to include a special mailbox painting that he made into a truly memorable moment. His witty personality and attention to detail ensured our ceremony went exactly as we had pictured it. All the guests had nothing but great things to say about him and how memorable the ceremony was. We would highly recommend Rev. Angle to any couple looking for a warm and engaging officiant to make their wedding day extra special!

    Rev. Dave Angle from The Wedding Rev was absolutely amazing as our wedding officiant. From the very first conversation, his communication was great - he took the time to get to know us and our relationship, and provided plenty of guidance and preparation leading up to the big day. On our wedding day, Rev. Dave made the ceremony truly special and memorable. He told our love story in such an interesting and funny way, and had us look out into the crowd to see the love and support surrounding us, which was so awesome. The ceremony felt so loving and personal, and we couldn't have asked for a better reverend to marry us. Rev Dave was incredible, and we highly recommend him to any couple looking for an officiant that will make your special day unique and unforgettable.
