My husband and I loved April from the moment we met her. She genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients. The ceremony she puts together is absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had been together for 8 years before getting married so it was important to us that our ceremony tell our history and the story of our relationship. When we first sat down with April, she asked us questions about each other and us as a couple. The ceremony she put together was absolutely amazing! Our guests were blown away with how detailed our ceremony was and described our love for each other perfectly. We would recommend April hands down. Anytime I ever reached out to her, she got right back to me...which when your a bride, that is very important! After we were married, April's website makes it very easy to start the paper work process to change your name. She was even there for me to answer any questions after the fact. She was awesome! Absolutely loved her!

April was absolutely amazing...She is extremely easy to work with and makes you feel so comfortable... I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing and easily planned wedding.

My husband and I married on June 24, 2011. Marie Gismondi performed a great service for us. Her tone was welcoming, lively, and engaging. So many people complimented Marie after the wedding. Our guests said she had a friendly approach and positive attitude. We'd have to agree! From hello, Marie Gismondi was extremely helpful and informative, making sure all of the details of our wedding were to the 'T', and also informed us what's next, like how to change my name and links to the city clerk's office. We were also provided with a confirmation # to trace our marriage license after our wedding day. Overall, we are very pleased with Marie Gismondi's service and would recommend her to anyone!

April was amazing! Her ability to read a couple, and weave an incredible ceremony is uncanny...she was made to do this! We loved every minute with her, and would recommend her for anyone’s wedding!

Dear April, I know this has been a long time coming but THANK YOU SO MUCH for an amazing ceremony!!! What you are able to do is truly a amazing gift! You took our ramblings and turned it into something so loving and beautiful. Our family and friends all raved about how personal and touching it was. You also went above and beyond to make sure we were completely prepared for our special day in every aspect, not just the ceremony. PS - Congrats on being voted a Best of 2013 vendor!! Obviously well deserved!! Love always, Melissa & Ryan Conroy <3
