About

I am an ordained, interfaith (meaning I respect all religious beliefs, barring harmful contemplations) minister with experience in the Chicagoland area available for "you choose the venue" wedding ceremonies, baptisms, baby blessings, memorial and ash-spreading services, and home blessings. I enjoy being a bridge and alternative option between "the church" and "the courthouse" for those who might find that useful. I specialize in personalized ceremonies, but I have many "ready-to-go" ceremonies too, depending on your needs. Any special request will be considered. It''s your day. I''ll help you keep it that way. You can also visit my website, www.RevForWhatev.com to learn much more about me and my services.

Loved our Ceremony!

Reverend Anne Styx at Rev for Whatev was a wonderful addition to our wedding. I wanted to write most of my own ceremony, and the samples she provided were incredibly helpful in guiding me and giving me a solid outline for the whole thing. We actually didn't meet her in person until the day of the rehearsal -- but the way she spoke our words at the ceremony made it sound like she had known us for a long time. She was also helpful with navigating the logistics of the ceremony and worked well with our day-of coordinator. We highly recommend Rev. Anne!

Funny, warm, and thoughtful

Rev. Anne is amazing to work with. She brought the energy and laughs to our rehearsal and the ceremony could not have been more lovely. Her sample ceremonies just work perfectly, and she has great prep questionnaires as well. We cannot recommend her highly enough

Wonderful Ceremony

We are so happy we chose Rev Anne as the officiant for our wedding on 6-18-22. Rev Anne was so great to work with and made planning our ceremony easy and not stressful. She worked with our requests and was very helpful the day of when things got hectic right before the ceremony. We had many compliments from guests and would highly recommend Rev. Anne for any ceremony needs.

Wonderful!

Rev. Anne worked with us for two different ceremonies—a wedding and a vow renewal, a year apart due to covid—and she absolutely knocked it out of the park for both. She was flexible in rescheduling when we first decided to split our ceremonies, and helpful and prompt when writing and revising our ceremony scripts. On the big day, she was punctual, and expertly took charge of choreographing the ceremony for our rehearsal. She even rolled with us accidentally going a bit off-script during the ceremony this year—I don’t think the audience even noticed! We highly recommend Rev. Anne for any wedding (or vow renewal) ceremony.

Best Decision We Made!

Reaching out to Rev for Whatev for our wedding officiant was the best decision we made! Rev. Anne was super responsive and made the whole picking our ceremony process fantastic. She sent us ceremony samples and rough drafts of our finalized ceremony for us to approve it. Rev. Val performed our wedding ceremony and was even able to come to our rehearsal! She was amazing! Val made sure that everything was seamless and flowed well. She offered advice when I wasn't sure how I wanted people to walk down the aisle.
Val made sure our rings and hand written vows were in hand and ready for the ceremony. She also checked in with the DJ and made sure everything was perfectly on time. Even though our ceremony was on the simple side, Val gave it personality and meaning. We even had people ask us how Val knew us afterwards because she seemed so personable! We definitely plan on recommending them to others!

Beautiful Reading of our Ceremony

Reverend Anne has a great process for couples to write their ceremony, whether it be a custom ceremony to you need help to write your. She was early to the venue and made sure I was comfortable with everything prior to the ceremony. She noted the locations or the rings and roses and came prepared to do a beautiful job. 5 stars!

Awesome officiant!

Between the positive reviews and the name, I decided to check Rev. Anne out, and I'm so glad I did! She gave us templates and ideas, was patient with us and our constant questions, and helped calm my nerves at rehearsal. The ceremony itself was wonderful!

Rev. Anne Styx is a respectable and honorable minister who puts her heart into every ceremony she officiates. Not only is she a great minister, but an even better colleague. With Rev. Anne's gracious helpfulness, the beginning stages of my journey into the ministerial business was much smoother than it would have been otherwise. Thank you, Rev. Anne

She's beautiful, and spoke with passion thru out the ceremony. Engaged with both the crowd as well as the couple to ensure the evening was just as beautiful as she preformed. And thanks to the Rev for blessing the food as it was still warm when I got to it.
