April conducted our ceremony on September 4, 2011 and it could not have gone any better. We had received numerous compliments throughout the night of our wedding about April and her presentation. She builds a connection not only with the bride and groom, but also with those attending. She is a true professional that conducts a personal and heartfelt ceremony and we would not hesitate to recommend her to our closest friends and family members.

The first time we met Pastor April, she was very welcoming and energetic. She was able to get my now hubby talking, which he is usually very shy about. Within 10-20 minutes of speaking with Pastor April she crafted a master piece, that later on captured the hearts of my family and all our guest. The way she told the story of our seven years together, felt as if she was by our side all along. I got so choked up hearing our beautiful story, I then realized that it was all so, so real...... Pastor April was very professional and she guided me throughout the process. We love you Pastor April and we will continue to tell our great experience with you with our friends, family, children and grandchildren.... LOVE, C+S

Pastor April is amazing, from when we first met with her we knew we wanted her to perform our wedding ceremony. She personalized our whole ceremony which I loved by adding a little bit of my husband & I's personality into the speech. Her words are beautifully written and spoken, and for the rest of the night on our wedding people were coming up to us complimenting our beautiful ceremony. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a personalized, beautiful ceremony!!

I had the pleasure of witnessing Pastor April marry two of my close friends and both ceremonies were beautiful. So when it was my turn to get married there was no question who we were going to call! Within the first few minutes of sitting down with her, April had basically written our entire ceremony. She made it sound as though she had known us both for years! April is an absolute pleasure to work with and made our wedding ceremony one to remember. She is very comforting with her calming voice and beautiful words. So many of our guests complimented our ceremony. She's the best!

Pastor April gave us the most perfect ceremony possible. Everything in our hearts, she voiced for all of our loved ones. She spoke clearly and eloquently and made our ceremony so special for us. We were able to incorporate both of our traditions, religions and ideas into one beautiful cohesive piece.

Recognition through the years

Celebrated on Long Island.
