A versatile interfaith minister available for on-site ceremonies.
Spiritual ceremonies (wedding, baptisms, ash-spreading) in churches are beautiful, but for whatever reason, they may not be the best option for every individual's needs. I offer services as a wedding officiant/minister, can provide at-home baptism, home blessings, ash-spreading ceremonies, etc. Any special request will be considered.

Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
I was ordained as an interfaith minister in Nov. 2009, and have been performing on-site ceremonies since. I have lots of energy, and I can't wait to meet couples in order to help them create the most meaningful ceremonies possible.
What is your primary product or service?
I'm an interfaith minister providing the orchestration of on-site ceremonies, such as weddings, baptisms, and ash-spreadings.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
I've attended a number of weddings in which the couple didn't feel any emotion in their ceremony. The meaning got lost in all of the other considerations of the day. For those who really want to elevate their ceremony and make it powerful and memorable, I can help. I also want to assist those who do not belong to a church, or they are choosing a site other than a church to have their ceremony.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
I am willing to make the ceremony completely tailored to the people I'm providing it for - ANY special request will be considered. (Really, anything. I have a great sense of humor.) I think ceremonies should reflect the individuals participating, rather than be "cookie-cutter."
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
I am a one-woman show right now, but as my ministry finds success and expands, so will my staff.
Provide detailed directions to your location
For consultations, I will meet clients at public locations convenient for both parties.
What type of payments do you accept?
Cash and personal checks.
Which areas do you service?
The Chicago area and all its wonderful neighbors
Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Me, the Rev for Whatev, Rev. Anne Styx
What are your hours of operation?
I accept calls and emails 24 hours a day, and consultations are by appointment
