    The Best Officiant *Ever*

    We hired Rev. Dave Angle from The Wedding Rev to officiate our ceremony, and it was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From our first conversation, Dave was open and supportive, making us feel at ease as we planned every detail with him. On the day of the wedding, he brought such a relaxed and fun energy to our ceremony, and he made sure to include our families and friends while honoring all of our wishes. Dave is not only a genuinely sweet person, but he clearly knows exactly what he's doing—his warmth and easy-going nature made our guests feel comfortable and celebrated. He's worth every penny, and recommending him is honestly the easiest thing we could do. We reached out because he was bald, but ultimately stayed because of his genuine kindness and heart. Thank you, Dave, for making our day unforgettable!!

    We were nervous about the idea of choosing an officiant. From our first meeting with Rev. Dave Angle, we both felt certain he was the perfect person to marry us. Rev. Dave guided us through questions that would help him write the beautiful words for our wedding script…telling our ‘love story,’ describing how we fell in love, making our friends laugh, making our wedding feel personal and special. Without a doubt, Rev. Dave played a pivotal role in the most significant moments of our wedding day!

    Robyn & Ashour, it was so fulfilling seeing how your families and friends loved you and the ceremony so much.

    Rev. Dave brought unmatched energy!!!

    Rev. Dave was one of the best choices we could have made for our wedding! We struggled a lot with deciding what we wanted to do about an officiant, which led to us being three months out with none set... Luckily, Rev. Dave was there! We contacted many people about our situation, and Dave was the first and fastest to respond. Not only that, he was already showing his high energy and care for his work from the first response. Dave spent a lot of time getting to know us and making our ceremony as personal to us as possible. It felt like we had known him for years! Dave even ran our rehearsal for the wedding and was lots of fun. Guests at our wedding couldn't stop talking about how much fun and brightness he brought to the ceremony, but also how personal he made it to us. If you are in need of an officiant that will make your ceremony unforgettable and unique, look no further than Rev. Dave!

    Go With Rev. Dave

    We couldn't be happier to have had Rev. Dave officiate our wedding ceremony! As two shy and reserved individuals, he made us feel comfortable from our first meeting. Rev. Dave isn't afraid to joke around, but he's also very kind and ready to provide reassurance when needed. He took a lot of time to plan a very detailed and personalized wedding ceremony with us. We really appreciated that he took the time to learn our love story to later be used in our ceremony - it was incredibly special to relive our journey to getting married with our family and friends on our wedding day. Rev. Dave traveled to Wisconsin for our rehearsal and ceremony, which we so appreciated. We also were so appreciative of his ability to make everyone comfortable in their roles! He worked with our rather reserved bridal party and parents to ensure they were comfortable in their roles and confident in their duties, resulting in a perfect ceremony. We would recommend having Rev. Dave officiate your wedding if you're looking for a personalized, detailed, easy experience!

    Hey Grace & Adam, I had such a blast marrying you two and I'm glad you did too! Your friends and families were so awesome to get to know! Have a wonderful life together.
