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!

Perfect Ceremony

Anne was great! Great service and great prices. Extremely nice, professional, and also fun. She responds quickly and ensures she covers everything you are looking for on your big day. Our ceremony was perfect! Thanks 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!

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!

Rev Anne was amazing!!! She accommodated all of our requests, was so kind, and made the whole wedding party and parents totally at ease. We didn't speak until 20 minutes before the ceremony, and I knew I was in great hands. Very responsive over email. Heartfelt ceremony! INCREDIBLE VALUE!!!

Rev. Anne Styx was the officiant for our wedding, and my wife and I could not have been happier with the job she did. She made us both feel very comfortable given the stresses of getting married and gave a fantastic service. We would definitely recommend her.

My wife and I were married on Nov. 8th at the 19th Century Club in Oak Park Illinois. In the year leading up to the wedding we spend the majority of our agonizing on the details of the all-important reception, like most of our engaged/married peers did.

But here's the thing... our ceremony was the best part of the night! And so much of that is because of Rev. Anne. She brought experience, responsiveness, flexibility, and charisma to every aspect of planning and officiating our wedding. With a keen blend of gravitas and friendly midwestern warmth, Anne just makes you feel like you've known her for years. My wife and I felt like we had an old friend up there with us.

Her deft touch was made all the more spectacular by the fact that we planned this Illinois wedding from Washington, D.C. Anne was vigilant in meeting us over skype, ensuring that we could together craft a personal and meaningful secular ceremony. It was a truly tailor-made ceremony using mostly Anne's well-considered and thoughtful language.

During our rehearsal, Anne kept things moving efficiently. She handled our questions with humor and grace and we felt very confident going into the ceremony. At the wedding itself, Anne brought the words on the page to life and amazingly kept a nervous and otherwise easily distracted groom totally absorbed in the moment.

After all the drinks, dancing, and funny photobooth pics -- it's still the vows and promises my wife and I made that resonate in our minds. And isn't that how it should be? Anne was instrumental in making those moments ones we will never forget.

Could not recommend her highly enough!

Jessica was awesome! The Rev for Whatev couldn't have provided us with better Rev. We had a small wedding, we didn't even need a rehearsal dinner. Jessica scheduled a Skype call to go over everything and make sure we have what we wanted. Everyone commented about the ceremony and how well it went. Not only she provided the beautiful ceremony (Yes, she almost made me cry!!), she also provided weather updates:) We can't thank you enough Jessica!! Much appreciated!

We had a great experience with Rev. Styx. She worked with us very last minute and still made the ceremony very personal. We didn't want to mention religion, and she kept to our wishes. She added key cultural elements and she was already familiar with them, which speaks to her experience. Her pricing was very fair and she always responded within hours, was early and very helpful. We heard from a lot of friends that they thought we had known Rev. Styx for years and that they thought her words really fit us.

I cannot say enough good things about Rev. Anne. She created such a beautiful service for us. It was so personal and thoughtful. All my guests remarked how beautiful it was. She was so accommodating though out the process and she even came all the way out to Rockford. Memories of my wedding will be filled with the wonderful service. I would recommend her to anyone.

I hired Reverend Anne over a year in advance of my wedding, knowing that she personally books up quickly. After working with her, I understand why. Reverend Anne was extremely patient, responsive. and helpful through many ceremony revisions and the planning process. Reverend Anne made herself available and traveled quite a distance for a very small and very casual rehearsal dinner and she made a special effort to make everyone comfortable and answer everyone's questions. Reverend Anne was completely supportive of our non-traditional choices. The day of, when I was having a bit of a last minute panic, Reverend Anne helped me coordinate to make sure late-coming guests wouldn't interrupt the ceremony. The ceremony and wedding meal blessing were both beautifully performed, and I couldn't be more pleased. I'd recommend Reverend Anne very strongly for your event.

Rev. Anne was so amazing to work with for my wedding! My husband and I searched all over for someone who would provide a loving and beautiful secular ceremony without making us feel awkward about it. We Skyped Rev. Anne from out of state and instantly knew she was perfect for us. Rev. Anne is friendly, professional, and flexible. She sent us a wedding ceremony draft and we edited it with her by email a few months before the wedding, and we made final adjustments about a week beforehand. The first day we actually met her was at the rehearsal, but we felt like we'd already known her for a long time. The ceremony itself was beautiful, and a ton of our guests (even the very religious ones) commented that her delivery was spectacular. I would recommend her to anyone.

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 amazing. She made me and my wife extremely comfortable during our rehearsal and kept me calm while my wife and the bridesmaids were late due to traffic. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful! We kept in contact through email which she responded to in a timely manner. She took into consideration my wife's daughter who wanted to be a part of the ceremony and even let her read her own vows (that idea was brought up the day of the wedding). I can't give enough thanks to Rev. Anne for helping make our wedding day beautiful.

Anne was really great at being flexible with our wedding ceremony. She really does cater to whatever you are looking for. We wanted a very simple vow ceremony and she had sample outlines for us to look at and talk through to decide what we were looking for. She has a checklist that helps you discuss with your soon-to-be your ideal ceremony (i.e. how you would prefer her to dress- formal/informal, religion, prayers, songs, quotes, ceremony practices such as a unity candle or sand, and so forth). We picked parts from a few of her outlines and put a little flair of our own personalities in. Since we live far away, we set up Skype sessions to discuss our ideal ceremony. She also agreed to stay to do a before dinner prayer. She was overly friendly and very professional.

Rev. Anne kicked butt on our October 5th wedding! I could not be happier with her service and just how happy and great she is as a person! She is such a sweetheart and was so accommodating with everything. She was always helpful and gave a lot of insight with our ceremony and how to build it. I definitely recommend her for a no fuss couple looking to do things their way. We got a lot of compliments on her and I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Thanks Rev. Anne!

We used The Rev for Whatev for our wedding on 5/26/13. Rev. Anne exceeded our expectations! We met with her approximately one month before our wedding and discussed what we wanted in our ceremony and it went perfectly. She was very timely and also helped coordinate with the DJ and wedding party before the ceremony to make sure everything went as it was supposed to. Everybody enjoyed the wedding ceremony we had. She then returned at dinnertime to lead a prayer before our dinner. I would definitely recommend using the Rev for Whatev Thank you again, Rev. Anne.

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 an absolute pleasure to work with! Both of us were soo happy we were able to have her marry us, the whole thing honestly felt effortless.
Beginning correspondences were prompt and full of information, but not overwhelming. After signing out contract, we had plenty of time to look over the types of services she had to offer. Personally, for us it was a rather interesting situation because my husband comes from a pretty religious family, where I've been raised with very little influence. With our union together, we wanted a wedding, but not to have it in a church, and to have pretty much 0 influence of any god or higher being in our ceremony. Rev Anne held no prejudice to us for this, and was very understanding of our situation.
After we picked our ceremony template, and worked on our own vows, we held a rehearsal. Again, Anne was just so wonderful and nice, I wanted to hug her I felt so relaxed and at ease! We got the bridal party in formation, and everyone on the same page, and we were ready to get married!
On the day of our wedding, there was a slight hiccup in our decor for the unity candle, but Rev. Anne already found a solution and just relayed to us the little change in procedure, no worries. The ceremony went beautifully, her voice was clear, kind, and sincere, and it couldn't of been better.
We're so glad to of found Rev. Anne, and highly recommend her!

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!

What can I say about Rev Anne, other than she's wonderful!

Rev Anne was willing to let us have a big hand in writing our ceremony. She worked with us to help mold it into something so beautiful, that our guests have remarked on how perfect it was for the two of us. Her personality is such that we felt instantly comfortable with her, & at the ceremony, it was like a friend married us, not someone we'd only met twice.

I can't recommend Rev Anne highly enough.

Rev. Anne was so great! She provided us with several scripts, from which we were able to piece together a ceremony that was unique to us. She allowed us as much input as we wanted, and she was very helpful with the flow of the ceremony, as well as keeping a special mother's rose ceremony a secret during the rehearsal. She has a great sense of humor, and even reassured me after I jumped the gun and said my "I do" early! She was phenomenal and I am so grateful that we chose her to be our officiant.

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.

Rev Anne Styx was an excellent officiant and a pleasure to work with. We met with her several times to discuss our ceremony and she allowed us to fully customize it, while providing her guidance and expertise. She made it stand out from the typical ceremony with unique readings and rituals that were perfect for us and our families. It truly was a memorable ceremony we will never forget!

Rev. Anne was possibly our favorite vendor. She was absolutely fantastic and much more affordable than anyone else we researched. She performed our ceremony with ease and made it incredibly personal. She listened to everything we wanted and wrote a beautiful ceremony for us. Guests kept asking if she was an old family friend because she seemed to know us so well. I couldn't have been happier with her.

Rev. Anne was nothing short of AMAZING! She was very easy to contact, and was very responsive when I had a question or a last minute change. My husband and I met with her in person to discuss our wedding ceremony. She made us both feel very at ease. She took the time to listen to us and get to know us so we could create the PERFECT ceremony for US. She helped us create our special ceremony that also included my 8 year old, so that he would be part of this union. She was on time for our ceremony, just like she promised. I appreciated her "last minute reminders" email. :) She performed our ceremony beautifully. Everyone commented on how lovely it was and even in a very large crowded restaurant EVERYONE was able to hear her clearly. We are so glad we picked Rev. Anne for our special day!! Thank you!

Rev. Anne was the officiant for our backyard wedding this past August 13th. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect in every way! Rev. Anne gave it a very personal touch for us and our families. She was flexible and willing to work with our musicians. All of our guests commented on our beautiful ceremony! I would HIGHLY recommend the "Rev for Whatev".

Rev. Anne saved our wedding! We suddenly lost our original officiant just three weeks before the wedding, and Rev. Anne stepped right in and made it better than we had dreamed! She is friendly, down-to-earth, and professional. We were extremely comfortable with her from the first phone call.

She is flexible and accommodating, and she was willing to help us write a ceremony that was meaningful to us. Our friends and family complimented us on a beautiful ceremony for days afterward. Even though we were planning our wedding from out of state, she was great about communicating through emails and phone conferences.

We had our rehearsal in the party room of a bowling alley, and even that didn't phase her! She is a great leader and made sure the rehearsal ran smoothly. Rev. Anne is also very organized--she arrived very early to both the rehearsal and the ceremony, and she kept good notes on the things we had previously discussed.

Rev. Anne is passionate about her work. She made our wedding experience truly wonderful.

Rev. Anne did a wonderful job, we had so many compliments from family and friends about how lovely the ceremony was. She did a great job, we could haven't have asked for anything more. We had a smaller wedding, approximately 75 people. This was an outdoor ceremony, which included our kids, that felt like everyone was a part of. She made our day very personal to us and all of our guests. We couldnt be happier! Will recommend Rev. Anne very highly to anyone looking for a beautiful ceremony.

Rev. Anne was absolutely amazing to work with. She was always responsive and was always open to hear our ideas about our ceremony. Rev. Anne understood all of our family dynamics and was totally understanding to our needs. Rev. Anne made me and my husband feel so comfortable and got us through our vows when our emotions took over. I cannot thank Rev. Anne enough for her kind words throughout our planning process and making this so easy for us.

Rev. Anne was an absolute doll through the process of what could have been a very stressful small civil ceremony - she was game for whatever decision we made and was willing to make last-minute changes that (thankfully!!) were not necessary in the end; she gave us sound advice and helped us to make good decisions about our ceremony. We'll be using her for our religious ceremony next year as well. She's got a great sense of humor and a great sense of professionalism. We look forward to working with her again!

I was a guest at the vow renewal ceremony for Richard & Gloria Kooi. I would highly recommend "The Rev For Whatev" for anyone who is looking for a personalized ceremony. Reverend Anne was professional, helpful, kind, and charismatic. The ceremony was beautiful. I would love to have Reverend Anne renew my wedding vows!

Perfect Officiant!!

I used Reverend Anne Styx to officiate my wedding and I could not have asked for a better officiant!! I would highly recommend her. She is so nice and personable and you can’t be her prices! I loved how flexible she was with creating my ceremony, she is willing to make it a much or as little religious as you prefer. I was given several ceremony examples which made creating my ceremony so easy! She was also quick to respond to any questions. I was very grateful that she submitted the marriage license for us after the wedding; one less thing to worry about. Thank you again Reverend Anne, you made our wedding perfect and memorable!!

It was easy to work with Rev for Whatev for our wedding in Three Oaks, Michigan. Rev Anne did a great job communicating with us throughout the process, and she accepted all of our changes to the stock vows without fuss.

Rev. Anne was not available for our wedding, and we worked with her associate Rev. Rob through her. Rev. Rob was very friendly on the phone. On the day of our wedding, Rev. Rob clarified all potential points of confusion before the ceremony and performed a flawless ceremony. He was very friendly and easy to work with. The only problem was that our wedding was in Michigan, which is on Eastern Time, and when he left from Illinois he didn't realize the issue until he was en route. Fortunately, Rev. Rob usually arrives very early for weddings and still made it 5 minutes before the ceremony. Still, this did create some unnecessary stress -- I didn't want to be wondering where he was in the moments before I had to walk down the aisle.

Ultimately, it was a beautiful ceremony that fully reflected our values and I enjoyed working with Rev. Anne and Rev. Rob--they made the process so easy--but if I were to hire them again (which I would!), I would make sure schedules are 100% clear.

Update 4/9/12: Rev. Anne and Rev. Rob made a charitable donation on our behalf to help make up for the time zone mixup. A very sweet, very professional gesture, for sure.
