Caitlin H. Sent on 07/17/2024“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.

We loved our ceremony with Reverend Dave! Leading up to the big day he really takes the time to get to know you as a couple. He is very organized and truly depicted our love story at our ceremony. He added so many unique touches that kept our guests engaged. We received so many compliments about our officiant after the ceremony! Many people shared with us that this was the most engaging and enjoyable ceremony that they have ever been to. Reverend Dave made our day so special!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Kelly & Nick, it was so fun getting you two hitched! Your families and friends were so wonderful to meet. You two are definitely a great match! May you have many happy years together! -

We used Reverand Karen for our wedding ceremony and could not have been happier with the outcome. Karen learned about us as a couple and made the ceremony personal and so special. She was flexible and listened to our preferences and made sure they were included. She engaged our guests and her calm presence put us all at ease. Thank you, Reverend Karen, you were a perfect addition to our special day. -

Kaelyn M. Sent on 05/29/2024We loved Dave, the wedding rev! We highly highly recommend him and are so happy we found him!
Dave was our officiant for our May 2024 wedding and we do not regret having him! From the first meeting with him, he was extremely friendly, organized and we could tell he had a passion for weddings and loved the job. Dave was on top of all the details, spent extra time with us during our final meeting to really nail down our love story and make the ceremony outline perfect. He got the final outline to us 2 weeks before the wedding so we had plenty of time to read it over and make adjustments as needed, but we didn’t need to make many adjustments since it was nearly perfect. He came to our rehearsal and immediately took charge, making the rehearsal run smoothly and everyone felt comfortable with their role after one run through. Our wedding ceremony was everything we wanted and we are so thankful for all the work Dave put it to making it that way! You will not regret hiring Dave to officiant your wedding. He truly is that good and insanely professional but also knows when to joke around and make light of situations. Thank you Dave!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Kaeli & Sam, I had such a blast with you two and your families! Thanks for the awesome review and all your kind words. Keep on keeping on!! You're my 400th review!!!! Woo hoo! Thanks! -

Spenser P. Sent on 05/22/2024A wonderful experience!
Working with Dave for our wedding ceremony was truly wonderful - we were both a bit nervous going into our initial discovery call site-unseen, but Dave quickly made us feel incredibly comfortable and left us with no doubt he would blow our ceremony out of the water - and that he did!
Dave did a great job providing us some simple tools to help design a script for our wedding ceremony. He really does a wonderful job intertwining a large variety of details into a beautiful script that really tugged at the heartstrings, while keeping it lighthearted and fun!
The script translated into a beautiful ceremony - We went for a more traditional-style series of vows and scripting, but hoped to keep it 'light', fun, and plenty of moments for some laughter and light-heartedness. Dave knocked our vision out of the park - the ceremony was filled with both laughter and tears of joy from both us and our families/friends - we received countless positive comments on how much our guests enjoyed Dave - book him! You wont regret it!The Wedding Rev's reply:
Britt & Spenser, it was so fun getting you two hitched!! Thanks for the awesome review! Keep on enjoying married life together! -

Becky C. Sent on 05/06/2024Love was all around with the Wedding Rev!
We had such an amazing experience with Rev. Angle!!
From the start, it was very easy to work with him. We emailed him and we got a response quickly to set up what we’d like for our wedding.
I was initially worried that he wouldn’t come to the Rockford area but was glad to hear he comes this way!
Rev. Angle was so easy to talk to, I was ready to spill my life story to him. We definitely felt understood and heard about what we wanted for our ceremony.
We planned a very small wedding with only our immediate family present.
He made sure to include everyone and kept the energy up through the duration of the ceremony.
He knew which areas of our venue would be best for us. He worked wonderfully with the photographers to ensure they got what they needed.
We had something happen that altered the placement of our planned ceremony, Rev. Angle handled it professionally and we made adjustments as necessary and we are so grateful for him and his calm presence.
Rev. Angle said he’s done hundreds of weddings, and you can tell, in a good way! He made us feel so special and felt the love and enthusiasm through the whole event.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Hey Becky & Chris, thanks for such a beautiful review. It was great getting you two married and meeting your families. Have a wonderful life together! -

Best. Wedding. Officiant.
I cannot speak highly enough of Reverend Dave. If you want a personalized and lighthearted ceremony your guests will talk about, you’ve found your officiant. We met with Dave after seeing all of his positive reviews and they do not do him justice. Our guests were asking how long we knew him, commenting on how beautiful the ceremony was, and entirely charmed by the entire thing. He did a great job running us through the rehearsal and we would 100% recommend him to any engaged couple.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Hi Jazmin & Matt, I'm so glad you and your guests had a blast at your ceremony! You two are so fun. Thanks for letting me be the one to get you two married! -

Rev Dave was amazing. Inspirational. Funny And engaging. His ability to capture our love story and incorporate it into our wedding ceremony was such a joy. So many guests commented on how much they enjoyed him, some saying this was the best wedding ceremony they had ever attended. His ability to work the room with over 100 guests added to the pleasure of the day.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Dave & Bev, it was so fun getting you two married!! And to see all the joy that your families and friends had for you was awesome! Thanks for the awesome review. See you at the next wedding!! -

Megan D. Sent on 04/17/2024The Best to Work With!!
Reverend Dave was a pleasure to work with and far exceeded our expectations. We wanted a non-religious focused wedding ceremony while still remaining very traditional and formal, and he gave us that and more. The "marriage counseling" sessions before our wedding felt less like counseling and more like two-hour hangout sessions with a friend. He took the time to really get to know us along the way and create a special ceremony created just for us. While we were talking about the ceremony timeline, I tried to keep it formal and was turned off by the idea of jokes in his script, but when the time came for us to stand up in front of all of our loved ones... let me tell you, his jokes were perfect and just what we needed to take all the ceremony anxiety away. At the end of this experience, it truly felt like Reverend Dave was a family member.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Megan, you are such a sweetheart! Thank you for the awesome review. I had such a blast with you and Dylan everytime we met. You guys are the best! -

Dylan D. Sent on 04/17/2024Awesome Rev
My wife and I loved reverend Dave. As part of Dave performing your wedding ceremony 6+ hours are spent across multiple Zoom calls preparing. This includes lessons on love for yourself and future spouse, as well as sharing details for Reverend Dave to personalize your special day.
During the actual ceremony Dave can read the room extremely well and added some light hearted jokes to make the day even more special.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Dylan, I'm so glad that you and your guests enjoyed the ceremony so much! I know I had a blast getting you two hitched! Also, I'm glad you enjoyed our marriage prep sessions as well. You guys keep on enjoying married life! -

Patrick T. Sent on 12/05/2023The Perfect Officiant for our Wedding!
Rev Dave was the perfect officiant for our wedding!
When my fiancé and I started out the process of searching for an officiant most would ask us what we wanted. We had a few ideas but had no idea the first thing about structuring our wedding. When we first met Rev. Dave via zoom he laid out how the ceremony would go but was open to anything we would like. It was exactly what we were looking for.
Before the wedding, he took the time to meet again and learn every detail of our love story. For the rehearsal and before the wedding he made sure our wedding party would look their best for the photos.
And for the wedding he was amazing. He gave us a lovely ceremony while being sentimental and funny. I'd never heard so many laughs at a wedding but he also made sure to add the right amount of a religious component which was very important to us. The most important thing he did was get out of the way for our first kiss as a married couple to make sure the photo was perfect! His attention to detail cannot be matched for your big day when there are so many details to keep track of. I would recommend him to anyone and would give him 6 out of 5 stars if I could. HIRE HIM.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Patrick and Katie, what a great time we had getting you two married! Your guests really enjoyed hearing how you originally met. Thanks for your awesome review. Have many happy years together! -

Matthew G. Sent on 12/08/2023Everything you want in an officiant
It's my pleasure to post this for the Wedding Rev. We went with what is his full service package which included pre marital counseling and reading materials. What we learned are things we still cite to each other to strengthen our wonderful journey. He is very thorough at the rehearsal, and the big payoff will be on your wedding day. Your guests will love him, you'll be very pleased with Rev Dave, The Wedding Rev.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Matt & Nicole, I'm so glad that you are still referring back to our premarital sessions. Thanks for this awesome review. I had a great time with you guys everytime we were together. Have many happy years. -

Matthew G. Sent on 11/15/2023Entertaining and Engaging
We were recommended to Rev. Dave by another vendor who we trusted. We wanted the ideal officiant to pair with this vendor. As soon as we began our discussion with Rev Dave, his unique style was obvious and we knew he would indeed pair well with our over all goal of having a “wow” experience wedding for us and our guests. We chose his full service package, which was regular pre marital counseling and coaching etc. This was the real value to us, and his wedding day performance (as well as thorough rehearsal day coaching) was the icing on the cake and a treat for our guests. Even the other vendors were very pleased with how well he worked with them (and in some cases, did their job for them…that’s how thorough Rev Dave is). I believe we set the bar high for any future newly weds who attended our event. Above and beyond, 5 star experience, we highly recommend The Wedding Rev.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Matt & Nicole, I had so much fun with you two! Your guests really seemed to enjoy your ceremony. Have a great married life! -

Rev Dave was Amazing!!
My wife and I had our wedding on 10/8/23 and used Rev Dave. He did an amazing job at making our wedding ceremony memorable and amazing. Prior to our big day he spent a lot of time finding out what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations when the time came. Rev Dave even suggested doing a memorial ceremony for my father that passed away. Many of our guests commented on how great the ceremony was! Rev Dave is hysterical but also professional and does a fantastic job at making our big day special.The Wedding Rev's reply:
Mario & Jess, it was so special getting you two married! I loved all the laughs and tears! You are such a great couple and I know you will have many years of happiness together! The selfies turned out great! -

Karen was an absolutely amazing officiant and was able to add a personal touch to the ceremony while engaging with the guests. We both laughed and cried (with joy) during the ceremony as Karen managed to balance levity with candor.
All in all, Karen was awesome. Many of our guests were raving afterwards about how great the ceremony was and asking for her contact information.
