    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.

    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!

    After our ceremony, we greeted each of our guests individually as they entered the reception. They ALL said the same thing to us: "What a beautiful, meaningful ceremony! It was so "you"!" Many of them asked us how we knew Rev Anne Styx, and were completely shocked when we said we actually didn't know her at all. The ceremony was just so personal and heartfelt, it seemed as if The Rev was an old friend of ours. We planned our entire wedding long-distance, so pretty much all of our communications with The Rev were via email. It worked out wonderfully. Anytime we had an idea or suggestion for our ceremony, she responded quickly and enthusiastically. It didn't take long at all to nail down the final wording for our ceremony. It was beautiful on paper, but even more incredible when we finally experienced it on our wedding day. You simply can't go wrong with The Rev for Whatev. She is awesome!

    Rev. Anne was straight and to the point. She gave us our ceremony options- we picked what we liked and it was pretty easy. She was very sweet and informative and very easy to communicate. The ceremony was beautiful. We were out of state and never able to meet her before the wedding so we are very thankful we found her. Highly recommend!

    We could not be happier!! We had so many compliments on our ceremony. It was the perfect length, she did a wonderful job personalizing our ceremony, & made us feel at ease during the ceremony. She was very responsive to questions/concerns that we had in the months/weeks leading up to the ceremony. She arrived early enough to assist in ensuring everyone knew where they needed to be. She exceeded our expectations in every way and we absolutely would recommend her to friends and family in the future.

    Rev Anne was the officiant for our wedding in July at Maggiano's in Chicago, and she was amazing to work with for the entire process. She's very professional, responds to emails/calls quickly, and has very fair rates.

    As for the actual ceremony I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, so Rev. Anne gave us great suggestions. We used the vows she wrote, and I had so many guests come up to me after the ceremony to say they were some of the most beautiful vows they had ever heard.

    I would highly recommend Rev Anne to anyone looking for an officiant in the Chicagoland area!

    Rev Anne was wonderful. Her communication was perfect; the ceremony templates were so beautiful it was hard to choose. She asked us some questions and knew exactly what we would want. She meet with us while our 3 year old was there and kept him entertained so that we could look over things. She led our rehearsal and even waited for over an hour for late out of town guests. I received so many compliments about our Officiant. I would recommend her to anyone.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    The Rev. For Whatev.

    Rev. Anne was excellent - she had good advice about our vows, kept our rehearsal incredibly organized, and helped us have a really lovely ceremony that was better than we could have imagined.

    Rev. Anne recently officiated our wedding, and she was exactly what we were looking for.

    My now-husband and I knew from the get-go that we wanted a simple, non-religious ceremony, but one that was a bit more significant than having a friend get ordained online. After a little online searching I came across Rev. Anne, and after seeing that she named her business The Rev for Whatev, I knew she was just what we wanted.

    We had an initial Skype call to talk about what we wanted our ceremony to be, and she was friendly and receptive to everything, and sent us sample ceremony scripts that we could either choose or use as inspiration to create our own. We wound up using pieces of her non-religious ceremony scripts, picking a reading of our own, writing our own vows, and sharing a personal story, all of which Rev. Anne collaborated seamlessly into an eloquent ceremony.

    We didn't have a wedding party processional, so we opted to not do a rehearsal, so we didn't actual meet Rev. Anne until the big day. She sent us a helpful email in the week beforehand reminding us of key things and showed up early the day-of to walk us through everything that was about to happen. She was calm, organized, and friendly, and immediately picked up on the fun/casual vibe we wanted our day to have. She even fixed my train for me before I headed down the aisle!

    Our ceremony went off without a hitch and had everything we wanted in it. Multiple people came up to us during the reception to tell us how great the ceremony was, specifically calling out our officiant as being awesome. Within the next week, Rev. Anne emailed us the delivery confirmation for our marriage license that she had submitted so we knew all the paperwork had been sent.

    If I ever get married again (hopefully not!), I would hire Rev. Anne again in a heartbeat, and can't recommend her highly enough to anyone currently looking for an officiant who will be flexible enough to do their ceremony their way.

    Rev Anne was amazing! She made our wedding ceremony so beautiful and meaningful! She took her time to do the ceremony and you could really tell how passionate she was about making this the best day of our lives! She was very professionally from the day that I met with her and you could tell she loves what she does. She was a pleasure to work with and truly made the whole process extremely easy. She helped me created an outstanding ceremony that I will remember forever! I would highly recommend Anne to anyone!

    When we started our search for a wedding officiant, my husband and I set out to find someone that would make our ceremony as meaningful as possible and when we came across Rev. Anne’s website, we knew she was the one. Her website and Facebook page allowed us to see pictures and video of all of the many weddings that she has performed and really convinced us that she was exactly what we were looking for. From the very beginning, she was prompt in communicating with us. She allowed us to piece together an individualized ceremony from examples of several different scripts, allowing us to choose the parts that really spoke to us as a couple. We booked a rehearsal with her as well and although I am a complete control freak about everything, I was so grateful to have Rev. Anne there as she was able to put my mind completely at ease regarding the details of the ceremony. On the day of our wedding, the weather was great and we were surrounded by loved ones, but Rev. Anne’s flawless delivery of the beautifully written wording and vows really made our ceremony perfect! We have had SO many compliments on what a great job she did and how much everyone loved what was said during the ceremony. We would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat! Thanks again, Rev. Anne!

    Rev. Anne officiated our wedding a couple of weeks ago. She was helpful and organized during the planning process and helped us come up with a personalized ceremony that was just perfect. She helped us to weave in quotes, readings, and even a special "family circle" to include my daughter.

    On wedding day, things weren't going as planned due to issues with the venue, but Anne stepped in to keep things calm and flowing as well as possible. For the ceremony itself, things went even better than expected.

    Our guests raved about Anne and the ceremony. We got so many wonderful comments about her and got a lot of requests for her info, which we happily gave.

    Choosing "The Rev for Whatev" was one of the best wedding decisions we made and I can't recommend her enough!
