    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!

    DAVE IS THE BEST

    We truly could not have imagined a more perfect person to marry us than Rev Dave. From the moment the ceremony began, he had everyone completely engaged. He has such a warm, genuine presence that made every guest feel like they were part of something incredibly special. The ceremony was everything we had hoped for and more. Every word he spoke felt thoughtful, personal, and meaningful. He captured our love story so beautifully that there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd one moment and everyone was smiling the next. He found the perfect balance of heartfelt, emotional, and lighthearted, making the ceremony feel authentic and unforgettable. One of the things we appreciated most was how natural everything felt. He made us feel comfortable standing in front of all our family and friends, and his ability to connect with everyone made the ceremony so memorable. So many of our guests commented afterward about how wonderful he was and how much they loved what he had to say. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and Reverend Dave played such a huge role in making it that way. We will forever be grateful that he was the one who officially started this next chapter of our lives together. If you’re looking for an officiant who is compassionate, engaging, professional, and truly gifted at what he does, Reverend Dave is the one. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for giving us a ceremony we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

    Amazing ceremony from Rev Dave!

    Rev. Dave Angle made our ceremony feel personal and genuine from start to finish. He was prompt with every email and phone call, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. During the ceremony itself, Dave kept guests engaged with his warm humor and authentic connection to our love story. He worked with us to create something special that reflected who we are as a couple.

    Amazing Officiant!

    From our first conversation, we knew Rev. Dave Angle was the right choice to officiate our wedding. He was approachable and easy to talk to, which made the whole planning process feel relaxed and stress-free. What really stood out was how much time he took to learn our story and weave it into the ceremony itself—it felt personal and genuine in a way that meant so much to us. Rev. Dave showed up with pride in his work and a great sense of humor that kept everyone smiling throughout the day. He handled every detail with dependability and made everything feel effortless on our end. We'd give him a 10/10 and would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married!
