Heart and Soul Weddings & Events

Heart and Soul Weddings & Events Rev Annika is a Wedding Officiant/Celebrant and the Director of Heart and Soul Weddings & Events, a division of Heartlight Peace Ministries.

As an ordained interfaith minister, I love officiating weddings and provide services in the Kansas City area. My passion is to create rituals and ceremonies for just about any occasion, not just weddings. I love to celebrate life and honor the sacred in everything, I realize that not all life events are light hearted in nature. Some events need to be treated with tender loving care that help to up

lift the hearts and souls of those coming together. Whatever your event, I will help you to make it meaningful!

Our Friday Feature for Weddings this week is The Vintage House. A sweet intimate wedding venue on the Kansas side in downtown Overland Park.

Also great for engagement parties, bridal showers and rehearsal dinners. Photo of one of the weddings Rev. Annika officiated here is in comments and yesterday’s throwback Thursday post.

Feel welcomed into a space that hugs you as you enter. Just walking through our pink door makes your heart beat faster. Our beautiful venue provides everything you will need to enjoy a memorable party with very little effort: dishware, glassware, stemware, serving pieces, silverware, drink dispenser...

All their services were utilized at this event and they were on top of every detail they were responsible for.

If you are changing your last name when you get married, one of the first things you need to do is get a new Social Security card. You will need to have a certified copy of your wedding license to do this. Rev. Annika always provides her couples with the necessary info they need to make their wedding paperwork legal.

Change your name on your Social Security record after you legally change it.
