“the BEST” Rev

Our ceremony was the highlight of our wedding for us 🪴 Family & friends loved our ceremony just as much. Rev Dave made the effort to get to know us & all of our guests could tell. We had several friends who assumed that he was a family member or personal friend! We received so many complements on the format of our ceremony & how lighthearted, yet personal he made the experience. The secret silly vows are such a perfect & unique addition. The unity plant was perfect for us.

Rev Dave’s preparation & reassurance were the perfect fit for my gregarious husband AND my shy self. He livens up any event, but balances this with understanding & support for those of us who are t.e.r.r.i.f.i.e.d. of standing in front of a crowd to divulge our innermost emotions.

Our wedding would not have been what it was without Rev Dave. He was always there to guide us & made our ceremony so perfectly “us”. We can not recommend him highly enough.

Rev. Dave is fantastic!

We stumbled across Rev. Dave sort of by accident and took a chance on him because he looked fun, but we didn’t know the half of it. Working with Dave was such a blast! He’s hilarious, friendly, and genuinely loves love. He has some awesome, personalized twists to the usual wedding ceremony that made it even more memorable. Our guests told us all night how much they loved the ceremony. I highly recommend Rev. Dave for all your officiant needs. My husband and I are so happy Dave could be a part of our special day!

Made our ceremony dream come true!

Highly recommend Reverend Dave Angle! He invested so much time getting to know us and our love story which shined during the ceremony. He made our day traditional, personal, and funny at the same time. If you're an out of state couple who wants a unique and personal ceremony, he's your guy!
