    Amazing service

    Annika was highly professional and very flexible with us. She ensured that our ceremony and vows were exactly what we wished for. Our day could not have gone any more perfectly than it did, and we owe all our gratitude to Annika!

    Wonderful!

    Annika was just what we were looking for! She was so kind and had a calming presence. She kept close communication, gave us suggestions for our ceremony, and was very flexible. She made us feel at ease on our big day and did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend!

    Wonderful Experience

    We were exceedingly pleased with our officiant, she was so kind and flexible when needed. I would 100% recommend as she will work with your needs and provide recommendations. She officiated a beautiful service at our ceremony and provided us with a final script with our wedding day pictures included. Excellent service!!

    Happy I went with her!

    She was very nice, and I came to her pretty late in the wedding process. So she had to explain everything to me and she was so patient. She also spoke very fluently which was a worry for me. I loved her and how easy it was working with her!

    Wonderful!

    Annika was super flexible and helped us to figure out what we wanted in our small ceremony. She worked in everything we wanted while still keeping it short, simple, and sweet for us! We would definitely recommend her to anyone!

    Annika was a wonderful officiant! Could not have asked for better!

    Annika was wonderful throughout the entire process! She helped us craft a ceremony that we felt fit our beliefs and relationship perfectly! She also helped us come up with a unity ceremony that was personal to us both (we did a unity whiskey barrel)! She was very quick to respond to emails and was a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an officiant!

    Great experience

    We hired Annika to officiate our wedding and we really enjoyed the experience! She was upfront about the services she offers and which prices and helped us pick the package that best fit our needs. Then we got to choose which ceremony we wanted and got to tweak it a little to fit us better. We met on zoom before the weeding to go over everything and make sure it was all in place- she showed up to the wedding early to introduce herself and help get everything into place. Everything went as planned and we were both so pleased! Thanks Annika!

    Thanks Kayla for explaining all the details of how we worked together. It was my pleasure to be there to make sure all went well for your ceremony. Best wishes, Annika

    Perfect for us

    Anne was absolutely amazing. She really focused on us as a couple and made it to where we were extremely comfortable. Would recommend, especially for a non-religious ceremony!

    Annika was great!

    We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Rev. Annika. She was very responsive from beginning to end, customized our ceremony and worked with us to craft the ceremony we wanted. She is very professional and helped make our day truly special. I’d highly recommend Rev. Annika to anyone!

    Exactly what we were looking for!!

    I cannot explain how perfect our ceremony was because of Annika. She listened to our needs and wants and to help create the ceremony of our dreams. Annika was also there for our rehearsal and helped it run so smoothly, which helped me feel at ease for the big day. We chose to do a non-religious ceremony and she worked with us to find a script that matched our style and values while still remaining respectful of those guests that were expecting a more traditional service. It was the perfect blend of modern and classic and worked well for our family. I had many friends and family members approach me afterwards to comment on how beautiful the script was and how much they loved Annika’s style. I would highly recommend Annika’s services to anyone, as she is very attentive to couple’s needs and obviously has a passion for what she does. Thank you for helping to create the perfect day, Annika!

    Made our wedding dreams come true

    Rev. Annika was such a delight to work with. She was very professional and the ceremony samples she reviewed with us were a great help. She was very flexible and willing to meet mine and my husband's different views. She created a beautiful ceremony to suit us both. Her patient and calming demeanor put us at ease during our initial meeting with our 2 young children, as well as during the ceremony itself. I'm so glad she was by our sides to help us make our union. I would recommend her to all of my family and friends. With much love, Caroline

    We were married by an angel!

    Annika is the sweetest, most helpful, genuine soul we could have chosen to play such a big role in our wedding day. She was endlessly helpful, but also was happy to take a step back when we had our own ideas of what exactly we wanted our ceremony to look and sound like. She gave us plenty of materials to source our ideas from and was always easy to get ahold of. We feel so lucky to have had her guidance, and would highly recommend her.

    Thank you Molley for your heartfelt review! It was a pleasure to work with you and Zach and I so enjoyed meeting your family and friends on your wedding day. All the best, Annika

    Annika was a delight!

    Annika was absolutely wonderful! She was able to really capture our story and put it into and make it a part of the ceremony. We wanted to make sure we didn’t have so much of a religious Ceremony and she was able to customize it to us and our family. She did so much for us when it came to rehearsal and the day of. We have a fairly large family and she was very patient throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend her!

    Blessed, Meaningful, and Genuine

    Annika creates a calm and loving presence on what can be a stressful day for many. My favorite part of our wedding was listening to her carefully crafted words, looking at my 'almost' husband, and truly honoring the celebration of marriage. Her beautiful presentation was genuine and sweet, and was so good that my fiance was fighting tears and quivering lips the entire ceremony. I would recommend her to everyone, especially those who are looking for a nice range of options in pricing and flexibility- the ability to personalize and make special but also receive her skill in a beautifully written ceremony that won't have you stressed about what will be said or how it will be organized. We chose a secular ceremony and added elements of prayer to connect our Catholic and Baptist religious beliefs. Annika is organized, timely, sweet, flexible, and very knowledgeable. It was so special to have her bless our union and create such a meaningful and memorable ceremony. She gave us a copy of our written ceremony as special keepsake, and even made sure to match our bridal party perfectly! She is taking care of all of the paperwork and has been so lovely to meet. We recommend her to everyone!

    We had a small wedding with less than 40 guests in a parent's backyard. Rev. Annika did such an amazing job. She was so professional yet kind... she's the type of woman that you want to invite for a cup of coffee and get to know better... she definitely made our wedding perfect.

    Annika was thoughtful and respectful regarding our wedding vows and ideas despite the quirkiness of some parts of the ceremony. When we inevitably had a crisis during the days upcoming to the event she gave us a sense of security and positive energy that everything would be fine. Her poise and thoughtfulness gave our ceremony the foundation and gravitas that was needed. We couldn't have been luckier in finding her to officiate.

    Reverend Annika gave us exactly what we had in mind! She had the right suggestions where we needed help (and pointed out a couple things we would have missed). Communication was good leading up to the event, and everything she was responsible for was handled well. Likable and had the right personality for our event.

    I would definitely recommend Reverend Annika to be the Officiant for your wedding. My husband and I are stationed in California and had been planning our vow renewal for two years since our civil ceremony. We wanted to bring all of our family and friends together in our hometown of Kansas to witness the renewal of our vows to each other. Although it wasn't the most convenient of situations, Annika made the long distance process go very smoothly. If you're looking for someone who is experienced and flexible, Annika is the right person for you!

    Heart and Soul Weddings & Events's reply:

    Thank you for the review Mandy! It was an honor to help you and Roscoe with your vow renewal ceremony. I am so glad that you finally got to have your big wedding with all your family and friends. Wishing you all the best!!
