Rev Dave was absolutely the best! He had an amazing personality and takes time to get to the couple. You would think we have known him for years based on our ceremony! He was very flexible and helped make sure everything went smooth on our wedding day! We can’t thank him enough for being a very important part of our day! We highly recommend him!

Amanda & Joe, thanks for the great review. We had such a good time at your wedding! I always had such a blast with you during our meetings. Enjoy your many happy years of marriage!
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!

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!
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!

Kaeli & Sam, what a perfect day for such an awesome couple! Your guests loved hearing your story! Many happy years to you both!
Any questions?
Rev. Dave was everything we could have hoped for. We met with other officiants but Rev. Dave gave us this feeling that he really cared to hear about our story and really wanted to be apart of our big day. He was VERY through in getting to know us so that he could present a very detailed ceremony. He put his own spin on the ceremony and had everyone laughing, smiling and loving every second of it. We highly recommend Rev. Dave and cannot thank him enough.

What a great time we had! Thanks for the awesome review!
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!

Britt & Spenser, it was so fun getting you two hitched!! Thanks for the awesome review! Keep on enjoying married life together!
Rev. Karen was absolutely phenomenal! She took the time to get to know us both, she was very knowledge about wedding details and venue, and she was verry well spoken. She was clear, easy to hear and understand during the ceremony and she kept everyone engaged. You would have thought we had been friends for a lifetime. Choosing who would marry us was one of the last things we did, but honestly she made our entire day! The wedding coordinator at the venue said “I wish every officiant we worked with came this prepared”.
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.

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!
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.

Hey Jazmin & Matt, what a great time we had! Thanks for the awesome review!
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.

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!!
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.

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!
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.
Response from the Vendor on 04/17/2024
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!
Rev Dave was amazing at our wedding! He made it so meaningful and fun. Everyone enjoyed hearing what he had say. Thank you for making our wedding a memorable time.
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.

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!
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.

Matt & Nicole, I had so much fun with you two! Your guests really seemed to enjoy your ceremony. Have a great married life!
Better late than never.. it's been a hectic 3.5 years! (What's that vow about in sickness and health..)
Rev Dave was amazing! From our zoom consultation (Thanks, Covid) to the big day. Rev Dave made it all seemless! The personal touch of our story and the humor was perfect! Not the typical by the script ceremony. It was exactly what we wanted! Thank you for making our tiny (replanned) covid wedding a success! 10/10 would highly recommend! -Brooke & Jason
Response from the Vendor on 11/06/2023
Brooke and Jason, thanks for the awesome review! It's always great to get them whenever it is possible. I'm glad you still remember what a great time we had at your ceremony. It was great seeing you guys again.
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.
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2023
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!
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.
Reverend Dave is the best reverend we know, and we are IN the wedding business. When we got engaged early this year, we knew who we wanted to have for our ceremony right away, and called him to make sure he was available for our date, which he was (we would have changed our date if not!). Rev Dave is not only a real reverend, ordained by the church, but he is also funny and personable, which really helps make the ceremony a FUN event! He's also has years of experience, so you cannot go wrong. Don't skimp on your ceremony - get the best reverend there is!!
Thank you Dave!

Lisa & Damian, I am so glad we have done so many weddings together because I really enjoyed marrying you two! Thanks for all your kind words. I can't wait to see you guys at the next wedding!! Keep on enjoying married life!
I cannot say enough great things about Rev Dave Angle!!! We are beyond thrilled to have had him as our wedding officiant. He is understands the importance of this day and is extremely helpful with his advice and tips to make the day go smoothly. He takes is time in getting to know the couple and is very hands-on in curating a ceremony that is personalized to the pair. In the end his delivery was PERFECTION!!! He made our ceremony so very special and unique as well as keeping our guests fully-engaged. Our wedding was last weekend and our guests are still talking about Rev Dave and how great he was. I highly-recommend choosing Rev Dave (the Wedding Rev) on your wedding day - you will be so glad you did!!!

Corey & Robert, it was so fun getting you two married and getting to know you. We all had so much fun at Robert's expense!! ;-) Thanks for this awesome review.
Have a great time doing married life together!
We found Rev. Dave on the knot app and after our initial meeting, we immediately booked him for our wedding. It was so nice getting to review our story with him for the ceremony and reliving all the memories and then getting to share them with family/friends that didn't really know it!
He made everything super easy and smooth and very personal to you and your partner. Also makes it a good time as opposed to just reading the traditional vows. We opted for doing 3 additional vows which our whole crowd loved and we got multiple comments on how cute they were.
We would highly recommend Rev. Dave!!
Rev Dave did a really amazing job and even went beyond to make our wedding fantastic. I had a garden wedding 2 weeks ago, and Rev really set the tone for my wedding. All of my guest complimented me about how wonderful my ceremony is. Every single one of them listened to the ceremony, there were tears, happy tears. Even after the wedding, Rev stayed for a short bit to help out with family photos post ceremony. I am truly amaze, and he had a big part of making my wedding successful. Thank you Rev!

Kim & Will, I had such a blast with you, your families and friends! You are such a cute couple. May you have many happy years together!
Reverend Dave was great! He was very professional and helped provide an unforgettable part of our wedding journey. He cultivated a great ceremony and he played a very special part in a very special day!
Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2023
Jess & Josh, it was so getting you two married! Your smiles were beaming all day long! Have a great married life!
If I could give 11 stars I would. Our wedding journey started in 2022 and we got married July of 2023. We interviewed 4 officiants as we wanted le crème de la crème and with Rev. Dave we got it. He's been doing this for many years and it definitely shows. He is professional but not stuffy he surely has his quirky side but a good one. We didn't want our wedding to be BOoRRRING! He aimed for perfection and we got it. If you are thinking about getting married give Dave Rev. an opportunity you won't be disappointed.
Response from the Vendor on 07/27/2023
Sonia & Luis, it was so fun getting you two hitched. Thanks for the awesome review. Keep having fun together!
We got married at The Brix and hired Dave as our officiant. He is great!! We felt like it was so easy to connect with him since the first zoom call we had. We loved his sense of humor as well! We did the pre-marriage prep sessions with him and we learned so much about us as a couple. Dave also got to know us so well which made our ceremony so personal. Our guests commented on how great of a job he did and how fun the ceremony was. We highly recommend Dave as your officiant!! Thank you Dave!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2023
Katie & Ray, I had so much fun with you two not only at the wedding, but also during our marriage prep sessions. Thanks for the awesome review. Keep on enjoying married life!
Rev Dave Angle did an amazing job officiating our wedding! He respected and honored our specific requests and took the time to personalize our ceremony and vows. He genuinely cared about making our ceremony special and gave us suggestions on what he thought would make the ceremony even better. Our guests had nothing but kind words to say about him after the ceremony. Not only was the ceremony fantastic but the time leading up to the wedding was smooth and stress free because of Rev Dave’s help. He sent out friendly reminders about payments and tasks we had to complete, and he also helped guide my husband and I on how to receive our marriage license which truly helped relieve stress. My husband and I are extremely happy we chose Rev Dave to officiate our wedding and will always recommend him!
Response from the Vendor on 07/10/2023
Thanks Ashley! What a great time we had. One of your guest came up to me after the ceremony and told me how much she hates coming to ceremonies, but she said she really enjoyed yours!! Many happy years together!
Working with Rev Dave Angle was such a treat! Our first video consult was so much fun and we knew right away we wanted Rev Dave to marry us. He made us so comfortable and shared with us what to expect on the day of our wedding with having fun being the number one priority and he did not disappoint. We chose to go with the pre-martial classes and are so happy that we did. We both truly enjoyed them and learned so much about each other, I could not wait for our next class. Rev Dave was able to get to know us and see how we interacted with each other and was able to incorporate what he learned about us into our love story. Rev Dave was always available and super flexible with our busy schedule. The day of our rehearsal all of our family and friends immediately fell in love with him and were so excited for the day of! On our I Do day, Rev Dave did not disappoint!! We have had nothing but compliments on our ceremony, our family and friends loved hearing our love story. Rev Dave made all the guests laugh, feel welcomed and so excited to be there, the details he included throughout the ceremony made it that much more special. Rev Dave was very accommodating and worked with us in incorporating the Hispanic lasso/ rosary tradition in our ceremony which meant so much to me. If you want a fun, interactive wedding with laughs and memories that you will cherish forever go with Rev Dave Angle!

Hey Shelly & Justin, you guys are so awesome!! Thanks for the excellent review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the entire process. I did too. I know you two will have many happy years together!
Rev Dave is Amazing! Did a great job telling our story and getting the audience involved.
Response from the Vendor on 07/07/2023
Thanks Abe & Kim! I had so much fun at your wedding. Your smiles and tears were quite evident that you did too!! It was awesome seeing Cassie & LJay. It's always a good feeling to see couples who I have previously married still together after 7...
years! May you have many happy years together.
Dave is the best rev! He was so responsive and helpful throughout our wedding process! He created the most beautiful ceremony we could ever ask for! He involved us, our parents and friends and family in our ceremony! We had so many compliments after our ceremony about how wonderful, fun, entertaining and sweet it was! We highly recommend Dave!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2023
Tasha & Holden, thanks for the awesome review! It was such a great time getting you to married. I'm so glad everything turned out so amazing, even the weather!
Over here yelling from the rooftops how fantastic Dave is!!!!
I found Dave on The Wedding Wire and immediately liked him from the photos as his personality just shown right through.
I messaged Dave on May 17th, 2022 interested in a virtual wedding on June 4th, 2022. Yes, that's right, a mere 18 days before the wedding. And miraculously he was available!
We had a meeting and again, his personality, his jokes, his ease just made us feel so comfortable with him so fast!
He seamlessly walked us through the marriage licence application, had wonderful advice, and prepared is all in a short 18 days.
We eloped June 4th, 2022, virtually, and it was beyond perfect and he helped calm our nerves over the phone.
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Rev. Dave marry us TWICE!
In August of 2022, we decided to renew our vows for our one year anniversary and celebrate our marriage with family and friends, so again we reached out to Dave and he was ready to marry us again!
Dave helped us through the process all over again, taking an incredible amount of time to learn about our love story and tailor the ceremony script to fit us. It's been two weeks since the vow renewal on 6/4/23, and we are STILL hearing from family and friends how amazing and truly personal the ceremony was. People could not stop complimenting Dave!
Everything with Dave was absolutely wonderful and 1000 times over we wouldn't change a thing!
Thank you Dave!!! You're amazing!
Love, Kelly & Andrew Meyer

Kelly & Andrew, I love you review! You guys are best! I had so much fun hanging out with you two and getting you hitched twice! It was such a privilege to get to know you! Have a great marriage!
Rev. Dave was personable, really got to know us, could tell he loves what he does and made us feel special. We felt a genuine connection, and enjoyed his sense of humor. On the day of our wedding he made our ceremony unique, personal, and added humor. I have had so many people tell me that our ceremony was wonderful, fun, and one of the best. So many asked how long we have known him, which shows how much he really cares about each and every ceremony. Also, Rev Dave is very organized! Which I appreciate, everything is clearly spelled out and he walks you through all the steps for your marriage license and also what to do afterwards to get your certificate. So glad we had the chance to work with him!
Response from the Vendor on 06/17/2023
Jessica & Tony, it was so fun getting you two married!! What a perfect day for a perfect couple!! Have many happy years together!!
We loved our experience with Rev. Dave from start to finish! From the time he spent getting to know us and our story until the actual ceremony, he was fantastic to work with. The ceremony was so meaningful, personalized, fun and engaging with the attendees. We couldn't have asked for anything better!
Response from the Vendor on 06/05/2023
Hey Beth & Don, thanks for the awesome review! Your guests had so much fun listening to your love story. Let's just hope Don never comes close to strike 3 again!!! ;-) I see you at the golf course. Many happy years!
I first met Rev. Dave at a wedding where I was the hired DJ. I remember his ceremony being fun and engaging. Five years later, I needed his help as my brother asked me to officiate his wedding. Rev . Dave stepped up with mentorship and resources.
Not only did my brother's wedding go off splendidly this past weekend, with joy and fun, but because of Rev. Dave I received accolades from every guest I spoke with that day. Some even thought I do this regularly!
Thank you again for your help. It made all the difference in making Mike and Cara happy.
Response from the Vendor on 05/17/2023
Thanks so much, Sara. I'm so glad your brother's wedding went so well. Whatever I can do to help relieve stress for people. I'm more than happy to do so.
We cannot say enough great things about Rev. Dave! We received compliments on how amazing the ceremony was all evening, and even 2 months later! He made sure everything was personalized to us, which was extremely important for us on our big day. He really took the time to understand us as a couple and to learn our story to relay to our friends and family. He did a wonderful job at engaging the audience as well as included our parents and bridal party. He was supportive the entire process and so fun to work with. We will forever remember our ceremony. If you are looking for someone to tell your love story, Rev. Dave is your guy!
Response from the Vendor on 05/16/2023
Thanks McKenna & Kyle! Wow, I love your review and I'm so glad you enjoyed everything. Keep enjoying life together!
Rev. Dave was the perfect choice for our wedding. He was a joy to work with and really understood our story and what style of ceremony we wanted. We opted for pre-marital counseling with him as well which I highly recommend. Not only does it prepare you for your future marriage but also gave Rev Dave a longer period of time to get to know us, our personalities and what kind of couple we are. The counseling also includes materials for future use as well to help foster communication throughout the years. The ceremony was a perfect mix of what we asked for in regard to religious, funny and personal. So many of my friends and family were appreciative of the special touches he incorporated into the ceremony and were surprised to hear our whole love story of how we met and fell in love. We were able to exchange not only set traditional vows but also some personally written vows. I cannot recommend Rev Dave enough if looking for someone to preform your ceremony. From our first zoom meeting to just say hello and get a vibe, we knew about 2 minutes in that he was perfect for us. The highest of fives to Rev Dave!
Response from the Vendor on 05/16/2023
Kristine & David, I'm so glad you choose to do the marriage prep with me. It was awesome getting to know you two. Thanks for the awesome review. Have a great many years together!
We highly recommend Rev. Dave for your wedding. If you are looking for a very memorable wedding experience, he is your man. We still have guests telling us how much they enjoyed our ceremony a week after our wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 05/15/2023
Alicia & Matt , you two are so much fun!! What a great time we all had at getting you two hitched. May you have many happy years together!
Rev Dave truly was such an amazing officiant. Our guests and even wedding party were telling us how much they loved our ceremony and thought how personal he made the ceremony and loved our vows. If you choose anyone, go with him. You will not regret it :)

Shelby & UP, it was so much fun getting you two hitched!! You have an awesome set of friends and families! I hope you have many happy years together and many more kids! ;-)
Rev. Karen was incredible to work with! She made our ceremony special to us and thought of every little detail. She went above and beyond as our officiant. She did everything from organizing and orchestrating our ceremony, to getting to know us as a couple and even acted as strong support system when we needed her. She alleviated many of my wedding day anxieties because of how organized and reassuring she was. I could not recommend Rev. Karen enough!! She made our ceremony perfect.
The best ever!
Overall great experience! We completed the sessions prior with Dave which helped bring up topics in our relationship that needed to be talked about while also bringing us together. Dave was able to provide a unique and genuine ceremony that told our story. We received many compliments on our ceremony !
Rev. Dave was amazing to work with as he brought a lot of great humor and energy into our counseling sessions as well as our ceremony! All our family and friends were entertained and fully engaged with our ceremony, people are still asking us where we found such a fantastic reverend! He was extremely insightful during our counseling and very organized. We were surprised after 6 years together that we still had so much to learn about one another and our communication styles! Special thank you for starting our marriage out on the right foot, we'll definitely invite you our 25th anniversary when we redo our vows!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2022
Kat & Danny, I always had so much fun with you two!! Thanks for the all your nice words. I have your vow renewal in my calendar for December 2047! I'll see you at the next wedding.
Dave was awesome in making our ceremony fun! He also made us less nervous and we needed that. Loved him!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/30/2022
Erika & James, we did have a lot of fun getting you two hitched! May you have many years of happiness!
We got married in October 2022 and booked Rev. Dave for our ceremony. We had a ceremony that was very unique, personalized, and entertaining (we received multiple comments of how this was the most unique ceremony our guests have been to) and felt that we had a lot of input into the ceremony script which we appreciated. Rev. Dave sends you the script to review the week before so you can make edits and it helps to be aware of the flow of the ceremony as well. We got to personalize our vows which neither of us heard until the day of which ended up being really fun. Booking Rev. Dave as your officiant is definitely expensive though! Probably double the price of what standard officiants will charge (he doesn’t tell you pricing until after you have a Zoom call with him which is smart but is also probably more than we would have initially wanted to spend).
At the end of the day, did we get a ceremony that represented us as the couple and was engaging, funny, and unique? Yes. Was it very expensive? Also yes.
Our ceremony went really well, but my only comment is that some of the more religious parts we asked to take out from the standard parts of the script (we are not religious) still stayed (references to God etc.) I think because it is probably habit from other ceremonies. It ended up being fine but thought it was worth noting for other couples who might be in the same boat.

Julie & Matt, I had such a blast at your wedding. I love the PB & J unity even if there was a little too much peanut butter on the sandwich! Thanks for the honest review. Keep on enjoying married life!
Rev. Dave did an amazing job! He took the time to get to know us and our story, and he crafted a very personal and special ceremony. We received so many compliments on how fun and personalized it was. I would highly recommend him!

Alyse & Mike, thanks for letting me be a part of such an awesome day!!! Your friends and families really love your vows! Thanks for the awesome review. Have a great life together for many, many years!
Reverend Dave was the perfect choice for our wedding! From the initial zoom calls to get to know one another we knew he would be a perfect fit for our special day. Not only was he responsive and punctual, but he was also extremely personable and just a fun person to get to know. Throughout our
ceremony he had people in the audience laughing at little stories/jokes about our relationship, friends, and family while still maintaining the seriousness that a wedding should portray. It really kept the whole thing light-hearted and fun rather than making it seem scripted which ceremonies can sometimes be. I
can't tell you how many of our guests mentioned that it was one of the best ceremonies they had attended! Overall, we had a blast with Reverend Dave and if you are looking to have a great time at your wedding ceremony I cannot recommend him enough, you will not regret it!

Jessie & Chris, it was so fun telling your love story and teasing Chris!! I'm glad your guests had as much fun as we did. Many happy years together!
We got married on 8/26/2022, Rev Karen officiated our wedding and she was absolutely amazing, we are SO happy we booked with her. From the very beginning she was so caring and excited about our big day and she was extremely easy to work with. She helped us with any questions we had. We had a 2 hour planning meeting to review the ceremony script and she was very patient and provided great recommendations. On our wedding day she did a fantastic job! She spoke so well, kept the crowd engaged, everything exceeded our expectations. We received so many compliments on our ceremony and how it was so fun and entertaining (contrary to most ceremonies!). Thank you so much Rev Karen!!
Rev. Dave was an absolute breeze to work with and helped make the ceremony portion of our day special. The script he wrote was perfect, the way he delivered every line was memorable and we are happy we chose him to be part of our special day.

Hey Jen & Don, it was so fun getting you two married finally!! I had such a blast meeting your families and friends! Enjoy many years of happiness!!
We got married on 10/15/22. Rev Dave helped us from our lessons with him (added option) up to when we said our “I do’s”. He has a very in depth planning session that will help you make it easier to plan the day of. Our guests loved his lively personality and he helped make our wedding ceremony special.

Kimmy & Keil, I had such a blast hanging out with you two through this whole process of preparing for your wedding and more importantly preparing for a lifetime marriage!
Enjoy your many years together!
Reverend Dave made everything so easy, fun and less nerve wracking. From our first video call, we automatically felt a connection. He was so down to earth, funny and easy to like. He helped us make our ceremony exactly what we wanted it to be and he made everything so simple. I didn’t realize it at first but having an officiant who knows what they are doing is super important. Not only is it one of the most important aspects of your wedding but it’s something you and your guests will remember for years to come. Reverend Dave provided us with a script beforehand so we knew exactly what would be said and we are honestly so grateful to him for making our ceremony everything we wanted it to be and more. Thanks for everything Reverend Dave! It was a pleasure working with you!

Megan & Christian, it was so fun getting you two married. I'm so glad the girls did so well during the ceremony. What a great day!! May you have many happy years together.
Our day could not have been better, and Reverend Dave has a whole lot to do with that. Throughout the entire process - getting to know us and our story, our virtual appointments since we live out of town, and then finally meeting in person and tying our whole ceremony together - it was absolutely perfect. Dave truly puts the couple and their love story first - along with all other details they would like to include in their ceremony - and you truly feel like you've known him for years! He captured our story, our love for each other, our love for God, and our love for everyone in the room so incredibly well. He kept us calm and collected with his warm demeanor and his jokes. People came up to us after the wedding asking us if we had known him for a long time. We are more than happy we made the best decision as having him as our reverend. We will cherish our ceremony forever!

Allison & Alec, I was so looking forward to marrying you two!! What an awesome time we had. You two are so fun and such pleasure to work with. I hope you have many happy years together.
We are so thankful we found Rev Dave for our perfect wedding ceremony! People were talking about it all night ( and how often does that happen?) He made getting married easy! From the first time we talked to him he put us at ease and had us laughing. The ceremony he helped us with was 100% us.
Response from the Vendor on 10/16/2022
Liesl & Nick, I'm so glad we connected. It was so fun getting you to married! You guys are the best! May you have many happy years together!
Rev. Dave was amazing! Our ceremony was everything we wanted and more. You can tell that he really cares about the couples he is officiating and puts in a lot of time and detail. I would suggest him 1000 times and more. Great guy.
Response from the Vendor on 10/14/2022
Thanks Dallas & Eric! It was so fun getting you two hitched. It was great seeing your family again Eric. And Dallas it was such a pleasure meeting yours. May you have many more happy years together.
Rev. Angle was the absolute highlight of our wedding. As part of a fusion wedding weekend, Rev. Angle brought in laughter, love and guidance from God to send my husband and I off on the right foot. I could not recommend him more!

Ushma & Alex, it was so fun being a part of your big day and the huge celebration. I love Hindi weddings! May you have many happy years together.
Rev. Dave was a wonderful part of our special day! We chose to have a simple Zoom ceremony with a few friends. He was quick to respond and set up a phone call so we could go over the details. Rev. Dave has such a bright and fun personality!! I adore his energy and how committed he is to bringing people together and spreading love. During our ceremony, he got our guests involved and kept the energy up. Everything went smoothly and our guests had a lovely time! We're both so happy to have had Rev. Dave as a part of our love story and to help ferry us to the next chapter of our lives. It was a perfect day. Thank you so much for your dedication and beautiful service.

Theo & Steven, it was so much fun get you two married FINALLY!! I'm so glad your friends enjoyed the wedding. They were very enthusiastic being involved! May you have many happy years together.
Rev. Dave was easy to communicate with and made us feel at ease about planning our ceremony. When the day came he made us laugh and made our day everything we dreamed of and more.

Mary & Brandi, I had so much fun with you two and your families! I'm so glad everything turned out so well. May you have many happy years together!
Rev. Dave was absolutely phenomenal. We are so glad we chose to have him be our officiant and a part of our wedding day! We chose to do the package that includes 4 marriage classes along with it and we are so happy that we did! Rev. Dave made the classes so fun and really got to know us as individuals and as a couple. It made the process so much more personal and having him put together our love story for our wedding day and feel like he already knew so much about us was great! The ceremony turned out perfect - with so many laughs and smiles from everyone involved! He was also very quick to respond to our questions and always flexible when we needed to make last minute changes -- he was a joy to spend time with! Thank you Rev. Dave!!
Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2022
Jaclynn & Evan, you were so much fun getting to know! And your vows were so awesome!! Always remember communication is the lifeblood of your relationship. May you have many happy years together!
Rev. Dave really made our wedding special. We had so many people come up to us and say how much fun the ceremony was, usually people treat the ceremony as something they need to endure before anything fun starts.
A bunch of our guests assumed that he was a family friend based on the rapport and the way he told everyone about my wife and I's story. Rev Dave really made the whole thing a lot of fun for both us and our guests.
Rev Dave is 100% the person you want as the officiant for your wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 09/15/2022
Matt & Jenni, it was so awesome being a part of your big day. Boy, did we have fun!! May you have many happy years together!
Rev. Dave is charismatic and was a delight to work with. He made it easy to make our day live up to our vision. He offers multiple plans as a vendor so we were able to get exactly what we wanted. We had multiple video chats with him to get to know what he could offer our special day. During these chats he truly took the time to get to know us individually and as a couple to learn our whole story and create a perfect ceremony. We had lots of guests mention that he made the day so memorable with his humor and charm. Rev. Dave was truly able to tailor the ceremony to our wants as we didn't want anything too traditional and religious, we got the perfect ceremony for us!
Response from the Vendor on 09/12/2022
Liana & Henry, you two were so adorable at your wedding. Your smiles that would never stopped. It was so obvious how much you were excited to marry each other. Congrats! And keep enjoying married life!!
After finding Rev. Dave on The Knot, I looked him up on social media and his posts seemed very genuine and personal to each couple he married. Also, I could see his goofy personality in some photos which is something my fiance and I were looking for in an officiant. Shortly after reaching out to Rev. Dave, we connected virtually and we immediately felt comfortable with asking him to help us get married!
When it came to the day of our rehearsal and wedding day, Dave was wonderful! He immediately made everyone feel comfortable by giving clear directions, answering questions and of course, his jokes! We love Dave and were so happy to have had him as a part of our special day. Also, we had so many of our guests tell us how they thought Dave was during the wedding and we couldn't agree more! Highly recommend!

Mel & Andy, you guys were so awesome to get to know!! You guys make a great couple and I know you will have a great life together!
We hired Reverend Dave for our wedding this summer. We chose him because of his humor during ceremonies. All of our guests loved him and came up to us after to discuss how it was one of the best weddings they have been too and how entertaining our Reverend was! Reverend Dave, made the ceremony so personal to us and included our “how we met” story along with personalized vows and things that we love about each other. He also helped out during pictures with making sure we had everything we needed, making the little kids smile, and helping get my grandparents situated. He went above and beyond for us! I could not be more happy with choosing him and was beyond thrilled with the day!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/21/2022
Kailey & Bill, I'm glad you had so much fun. I know I did! It was great getting to know you and your families and friends! Thanks for the awesome review. Maybe I'll see you around town sometime.

Quite possibly the best vendor we picked! Rev Karen was unbelievably helpful, organized and fun through the wedding planning process. We received SO many compliments about her and so many of our guests asked, “how long have you known Karen” because she made it THAT personal to us. She is truly the best. From the planning meetings, running the rehearsal dinner, and our wedding day- she made the experience unbelievably special. Stop looking immediately and book Karen ASAP. We are so lucky we had the opportunity to work with Rev Karen, we can not thank her enough.
His passion for the sanctity of marriage and loving commited relationships is evident through his whole process. He sees to every little detail with perfection, and provides a ceremony WORTHY of a committed and lifelong loving marriage, that we'll have.

Sam & Jake, what a unique and memorable ceremony! You guys are awesome! It was so fun getting you two hitched! Have a great time doing life together!
Rev. Dave officiated our wedding on 6/11/22.
First you made everyone laugh. All of my friends and family said they’ve never seen a ceremony like that in their life. My friends and grooms loved the jokes at my expense and really made it a great moment.
You ensured even the guests were engaged and on track. You even helped to ensure the time line was honored as well and we got to rest for the little bit of time a bride and groom can during a wedding.
In all seriousness you brought Lynn and I together and you did it with class and levity.
Much appreciated and I don’t think anyone could off done it better.
I unequivocally recommend Rev Dave to do your wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 06/20/2022
Emery & Lynn, we had so much fun at your wedding! Your families and friends seem to really get into the ceremony! I'm glad they were not sleeping! Have a great married life together - FINALLY!!
Rev. Dave was great to work with from start to finish! My husband and I are on the more introverted side, so we were looking for an officiant with whom we would be comfortable. We found Rev. Dave on The Knot, and set up a video call that very quickly sealed the deal. He was so easy to talk to, and we were smiling and laughing so much that our cheeks hurt! It's clear that he has a lot of experience and really knows how to make a wedding ceremony beautiful, fun, and unique to each couple. He has such a good heart and a great sense of humor. Even after the initial video call, the video call to discuss the ceremony, the rehearsal, and the ceremony itself, Rev. Dave was making sure that we were taken care of before we headed back into the crowd of family and friends for cocktail hour. We wholeheartedly recommend Rev. Dave to anyone and everyone!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2022
Gabby & Rob, it was so fun laughing with you! I love your families and friends. Everyone seemed to really enjoy listening to your love story and being involved in your ceremony! Congrats, Mr. & Mrs.!! Keep flying high!
Karen officiated our wedding in March and we cannot say enough good things!! She was so helpful throughout the entire process and was also extremely well prepared - I'm talking templates, different reading examples, ceremony options you name it! As a type A person I found this very comforting. We didn't know much about what to include in our ceremony but Karen provided so many different outlines and options that it made the entire process very easy for us. She scheduled meetings, spent time getting to know us, and was super helpful and responsive with any questions we had. She was timely, professional, & personable. She helped ensure our ceremony felt very personal and special and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking to have a thoughtful and personal ceremony experience!
Response from the Vendor on 06/02/2022
Jordan & Ray, thank you! It was such an honor and joy to officiate your beautiful ceremony. Wishing you both a lifetime of love and happiness!
Where do I even begin? Rev. Dave Angle truly made our wedding day better than we could have even imagined. From the organization and guidance throughout the planning process and the thorough rehearsal to conducting a beautiful ceremony in somewhat chaotic circumstances, I could go on and on. Most notably, Rev. Dave helped coordinate the family photos after the ceremony, which was very helpful as we were on a tight timeline and there were a lot of moving parts. We received soooo many comments from guests about how wonderful the ceremony was and some asked a lot of questions about how we knew Rev. Dave and for his contact information! This just goes to show his dedication to the couples he marries.

Bianca & Kevin, you guys are awesome! Thanks for the awesome review. Your ceremony will be one that goes down for the ages. I had such a blast marrying you two!!
We could not have picked a more perfect Reverend to conduct our wedding ceremony. Reverend Dave was so easy to work with. He kept everything organized and detailed so that we did not have to worry about any hiccups on our wedding day. My wife and I were so stressed planning our wedding, but he was able to calm us down and keep us at ease. Reverend Dave guides you step by step for what needs to done up until the wedding day. He gave a beautiful sermon and kept our guests engaged the entire time! Our ceremony turned out perfect!

Hey Clark & Kaysie, thanks for the awesome review! Weddings can be so stressful. I'm just glad that I could help make yours as stress free as possible! Keep on enjoying married life!
Rev. Dave was exactly what we wanted for our wedding!! We got so many compliments on him and how he made our ceremony so personable. It was emotional, funny, and heartwarming all in one. He told our story like he has known us for years! We highly recommend him if you want a memorable ceremony that everyone talks about!

Samantha & Blake, we had such a great time getting you two hitched. I absolutely loved all the tears that both of you were shedding! It was so cute. Thanks for your awesome review! I really appreciate it.
We had a wonderful experience working with Rev. Dave. We opted for the highest level package that includes pre-marital counseling and the more customized ceremony. Rev. Dave was a joy to work with. Meeting with him was so much fun. After each of our sessions we felt more confident about our relationship and excited for marriage which was really nice amidst the stress of wedding planning. On top of that the ceremony he helped us put together was beautiful. We really felt that he captured our story and love so perfectly. We had rave reviews from friends and family alike that our wedding ceremony felt so personal and that they felt connected and involved. It was so important to us to have a unique and personalized ceremony, and Rev. Dave MORE than delivered. If you're looking for someone to make the ceremony of your dreams come to life - look no further. Thank you Rev. Dave for helping us with the most memorable and special part of our big day!

Kristen & Mark, you guys are the best! I absolutely loved how big both of your smiles were all day, but especially during the ceremony! I can't wait see you guys next week. I have so much fun with you.
Rev Dave gave us a very memorable and unique wedding ceremony! Immediately after the ceremony, we had many guests approach us and tell us they had never laughed more during a wedding ceremony. We chose Rev Dave because of his professionalism and experience. We did not want a boring, cookie-cutter ceremony and Rev Dave truly customized it to be about us and our love story.

Dominique & Nick, we did have such a great time getting you to hitched, didn't we?! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your big day! Your family and friends were so awesome! Keep on enjoying married life.
Hiring Rev. Dave was one of the easiest decisions we made for our wedding. He truly is the best officiant there is! From the first meeting we had with him, we knew that we chose the right person to marry us! He was very personable and took the time to get to know us as a couple. We knew that he would be able to tell our story in a fun and serious way to show how much my husband and I love each other. He engaged our guests throughout the entire ceremony and whenever we talk to anyone about our wedding, they always say our ceremony was the most fun wedding ceremony they have been to. From the planning session to the rehearsal to the wedding day, he made the entire process seamless!
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2022
Ashley & Manny, thanks for the epic review! You guys are the best. We all had a great time, didn't we? Keep on enjoying married life!
Look no further! Reverend Dave is the best you'll find! My husband and I reached out to him based on reviews I had read about his humor, his style and his flexibility. After visiting his website and watching videos from others' weddings we immediately called him to book. With Reverend Dave, you get the knowledge and personality of your favorite mentor, wrapped into this wonderful package of acceptance, coaching and entertainment. So many officiants are dry, boring and quiet. Reverend Dave is none of these things!
We signed up for the full package, as my husband has been married before and wanted to make sure we did it right. Reverend Dave was very accepting of our backgrounds and religious differences as well as our reservations about marriage. His optional premarital classes are laid back, enjoyable, informative and so helpful in ensuring couples are right for each other and have proper expectations of what is to follow after the "I do," day.
To quote Joey Tribbiani from Friends, "In Reverend Dave you get a minister and you get an entertainer. (He's) a Ministainer." Book him. You'll not have any regrets.
Response from the Vendor on 01/06/2022
Anjeanette & Dan, you guys are hilarious! At least you are, Anjeanette! I love and appreciate the review. You gave me a new label to consider. From your friendly neighborhood ministainer ;-)
Hire Reverend Dave to be your wedding officiant- you will not regret it! Having been to a number of weddings, sitting through boring and impersonal ceremonies, I knew I wanted something different for my wedding. Reverend Dave was the answer. The initial meeting with him was so entertaining. He was not what we expected as someone with the title “Reverend”. He is full of personality and has the ability to make you comfortable about the whole process. Covid hit during our wedding planning, causing us to push back our wedding by one year. However, we still had a “micro” wedding with our closest friends and family. Everyone was floored by the ceremony Reverend Dave delivered, and how well he seemed to know and get us as a couple, resulting in lots of “Where did yo
