April was amazing! She wrote our ceremony from scratch and tailored it perfectly after meeting with us for a short time. From what we heard there was not a dry eye in the house at our wedding! People were raving about her! We highly recommend!!!!

April is AMAZING! My husband first met her at our venue's showcase and insisted that we look into booking with her. We met with April a couple of months prior to our wedding to make our customize ceremony. She really got to know us on a personal level and that made all of the difference. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. We received compliments from everyone not only on our ceremony but also on April herself! She is a terrific officiant with a personality to match. If you're looking for a beautifully personalized, non boring/cookie-cutter ceremony then look no further!

I would 100% recommend Pastor April (and have done so already) to anyone looking for an officiant. She's super pleasant, responsive, and it is extremely obvious that she loves what she does. The majority of guests at our non-denominational wedding made comments about how lovely the ceremony was and that it was their favorite part, mostly because of Pastor April. She's very flexible and works with you needs, making sure you have the most beautiful, special ceremony you could imagine. Please book her if you can!!!!

Bill and I are beyond thrilled that we chose Pastor April to be the officiant at our wedding. From the moment we met April at her home, we instantly knew we made the right choice. We felt as if we were talking with an old friend. April is warm, welcoming, and put us at ease. Her ability to capture our love story and weave it into a ceremony after talking with us for just about an hour was nothing short of amazing. Within that time, she captured the essence of who we are as a couple. Our family and friends had nothing but good things to say and thought it was written so well, and truly captured Bill and I in a very intimate way. I do not hesitate in recommending Pastor April, and can honestly say, you will not be disappointed!!!

I am beyond thrilled that I chose Pastor April as my wedding officiant! From start to finish, she was just absolutely AMAZING!! Her personality is magical, she makes you and everyone else smile. She took the time to write our personalized ceremony and it could not have been more perfect. My guests thought it was written so well, and really represented me and my husband in an intimate way. Any questions or concerns I had, April was there to answer them joyfully and quickly. She definitely knows how to put you at ease during what can be a very stressful time! I HIGHLY recommend Pastor April, you will not be disappointed!! Best choice I made!

Recognition through the years
