Rena Drezner

April was amazing. She responded quickly to all of our questions, was wonderful to work with and was very helpful the entire time. We had about a dozen guests come up to us and say how much they enjoyed the ceremony.

Patty Schram

Pastor April married us on 7-11-15. She was simply wonderful ! We had spent a good 2 hours with her the first time we met and she took the time to really know us so she could customize our ceremony in the perfect way. She was on time and very professional !

Nicoll Byrne

Pastor April Gismondi was perfect for our ceremony and more, she was more than helpful in so many ways including preperation of the event, the ceremony, and ensuring that we would not forget the things we needed on the day of the wedding as well as providing us with all the information needed to complete all paperwork and name changes after the wedding. My wife and i were extremely happy with the service, it was delicate, personalized, and professional and all of our guest told us that she was a pleasure to listen to.

Nicole Young

Pastor April was amazing and better than we could of hoped for. She personalized the ceremony in a way I dont think anyone else could have done more beautifully! Everyone complemented how beautiful the ceremony was and Pastor April calming voice made her even more of a pleasure to listen to. We could not be more happy to be married, especially by Pastor April!!!

Nicole Williams

I absolutely loved Pastor April. She was able to take our simple words we had for each other and change it into something so magical. Even on the day of our wedding, everyone had come up to me asking about her. They were so touched by the ceremony. I know everyone looks forward to their pictures and video, but if you want a true memorable piece of your wedding, please give Pastor April a call. She will give you a copy of your ceremony, and out of everything done that day I know I will look back to that the most.
