I just had to post this! We were married on Oct. 11th by Rev. April Gismondi of the Church of Ancient Ways. She was amazing! We worked with her to customize the ceremony, but she brought everything to a new level. She gave the most unique ceremony...everyone has called me to tell me just how different and wonderful it was. I would recommend her highly...please feel free to contact me for more detailed feedback.
Reverend April of the Church of Ancient Ways made our wedding a dream come true. We had less than three weeks to plan the wedding because of a rescheduling issue (switching the location from the West Coast to the East Coast). April worked with us, and listened to the things that are important to us, and customized the ceremony to reflect this. It was as if it took a year to prepare. Our guests at the wedding, many of whom had attended numerous weddings, said that it was 'the most beautiful ceremony' that they had ever witnessed. She was thoughtful, caring, and truly interested in our future well-being, and the ceremony reflected all of that and more. We simply cannot say enough good things about April. We give her highest recommendation. She was incredible.
Pastor April is the warmest sweetest person you will ever meet. Having her marry us made the day as perfect as it could be. I don't think in my wildest dreams I would have pictured such a perfect ceremony. I would recommend her to everyone!!! She is wonderful!!
April is AMAZING!!! There was not a dry eye among our guests. She really delivered a heart felt and customized ceremony that really showcased the love me and my husband have for each other. We HIGHLY recommend her.
High recommended. April is sweet and just amiable. She's easy to work with and good in returning your calls or emails without delay. Her website has all the answers to your questions. We were able to save money by writing the ceremony ourselves with the help of the samples from the website. Even then she would still help you organize it and make suggestions. Our ceremony was just perfect and we couldn't have asked for more.
