Pastor April was the BEST choice I made through the entire planning process. She is kind, caring, and genuinely wants the ceremony to be authentic to the couple's style.

My husband and I got married at Westbury Manor on 8/20 dispite the rain storm that kept coming and going Marie April was fantastic! From day one she was very attentive and took care of us no matter how many questions or emails we sent. We truly are very thankful and lucky to have found her. We truly appreciate everything she has done and are beyond ecstatic that we choose her to do our wedding ceremony. Everyone who attended the wedding complemented her in more ways than one and thought the ceremony was beautiful. She truly took the time to make our wedding day special and our own.

For those of you who are more spiritual than religious, I found an amazing reverend who will come to YOU. Rev April from The Church of Ancient Ways was both sensitive and creative in what my FH and I were looking for. She created a wedding ceremony that was personalized for my FH and I, while at the same time giving a 'traditional' feel. The ceremony has yet to take place, but of all the glorious chaos in the planning she was the one staple of serenity. She even called me to see if I was fairing ok with all the stress. She's wonderful and I highly recommend at LEAST checking her out. www.churchofancientways.org. You WON'T be dissapointed. You'll know right away if she's the one for you, and chances are she will be! Good Luck Kimberly xoxoxo

Without hesitation, we would recommend Rev. April as an officiant. The amount of time she devoted to making the ceremony personal was priceless. Our guests were also very impressed and moved by the ceremony.

We could not have been happier with the services Rev. April provided. From our first meeting until the moment we were married, she made everything fun and easy. Our ceremony was beautiful but most importantly it was very much us. We would recommend Rev. April over and over again. She is very professional and truly a wonderful person.
