April was simply perfect to work with. She customized our ceremony to truly fit 'us'. April was so easy to get in touch with throughout the entire process, so accomodating and such a joy to work with.

Pastor April was amazing. She interviewed us at her home and then wrote a beautiful ceremony that was extremely personal and fit us so well. She was prepared for everything (when we arrived at our location it turned out that the town did not have power running to the gazebo and Pastor April put a speaker in her car and everyone was still able to hear the entire ceremony). We had a perfect wedding that we will remember forever. Everyone that attended is still talking about how much they loved the officiant! We recommend her whole heartedly!

Just got married last weekend with April as our officiant and she was completely wonderful. Will start by saying that she met with us months prior to the ceremony to interview us and get a feel for the type of ceremony that we wanted to have. She wrote us a draft during this which we loved before she even asked for us to commit to having her officiate our wedding ceremony. We hired her on the spot and she was completely helpful and thorough at helping us get through our ceremony and making it very unique. Correspondence amongst us was very easy and she was readily available through all the revisions of our ceremony and vows. I had several compliments after the ceremony on how great everything was and how it was very much in tune with us and our relationship. Thanks so much April!

Andrea Arroyo

April was absolutely amazing!! Our ceremony was perfect and customized to us. She was great about making sure everything went smoothly the day of and great about following up leading up to the big day. We feel so blessed to have had such a beautiful ceremony. Thank you so much April for everything! Jon & Andrea

If you want a complete custom and unique ceremony during your wedding, April is your pastor! She took all of our thoughts, beliefs, and ideas and wrote 'the best ceremony ever witnessed' as my guests had raved. She wrote vows that my now husband and I couldn't have written in a million years. She really captured the true spirit of my husband and I and the love that we share. If there is only one thing you do, it is to book April for your wedding, you will not, I repeat, WILL NOT be disappointed!
