Pastor April performed a beautiful and personal ceremony for us! She was extremely easy and fun to work with and helped us feel so comfortable speaking in front of our families. Pastor April captured what being married meant to my husband and I and how important it was for our families to be included and there to stand witness. She reached out to us before our ceremony to make sure we had everything that was needed on our wedding day. She arrived early the day of and walked us through what was going to happen during the ceremony. That was incredibly kind of her, it really helped relax the bridal party. Pastor Aprils attention to detail shined through our ceremony and we will be forever grateful for such a stress free and beautiful day!

Our wedding was everything we could have dreamed, and Pastor April was a tremendous reason why. She worked so hard with us to construct the ceremony to fit our vision. She helped us find just the right words, and the promises we needed to make to each other. There was not a dry eye in the room during the ceremony, and everyone kept telling us it was the most beautiful ceremony they had ever attended! Thank you Pastor April for making our day so special!

April was terrific. She helped us plan the most wonderful and personal ceremony. Everyone is still talking about how beautiful and original our ceremony was. She is amazing.

Officiant – Rev. April Gismondi, Church of Ancient Ways – A+++ April was great through out the whole process – always answered my emails promptly and clearly, made wonderful suggestions, and really got to know us as a couple in order to personalize the ceremony. She made us feel like it was so special and as if we were the only people in the world at that moment. I got so many compliments on the ceremony, she was so wonderful to work with. I HIGHLY recommend April!!!

Pastor April is phenomenal. She performed and personalized our ceremony as if we'd known her for years. I got nothing but rave reviews from all the guests about how much they really enjoyed. She was a joy to work with and I recommend her to all!
