Pastor April was awesome!! She was very quick to return emails and phone calls and answered all of my questions. Her website is great because it allowed me to put together my ceremony and once that was done I emailed it to her for approval. She emailed me back quickly and told me everything was perfect and I did a great job putting together my ceremony. Any changes I had all I had to do was email her and she made the change and sent me the revised ceremony. The day of the wedding she was amazing! So organized and helped to keep all of us organized and on schedule. I would highly recommend her services!

There are not enough words to describe what an outstanding & beautiful ceremony Pastor April performed for us. She was very organized and helpful during our planning process. I received so many compliments from my guests about what a beautiful job she did. I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Again, April THANK YOU so much for making our day even more special.

April THANK YOU SO MUCH. As soon as we meet you we knew immediately you were who we wanted to marry us. We had seen you do Dave's brother's ceremony and that was great. But ours was so much different. It was very unique and personal, true to who we are as a couple. Amazing, funny and everything we were looking for. You got us to tell so much about ourself that it made it so perfect. Your all everyone could talk about after the ceremony. We will send everyone we know getting married to you. Thanks again! Tricia and David

There are not enough positive things to say about Pastor April of The Church of Ancient Ways. From the moment you meet with her she makes you and your fiance feel like you are the most important couple that she has ever worked with. The philosophy behind the Church of Ancient Ways is that it is your day, it is your way. Pastor April will offer you as much or as little help as you desire when putting together your ceremony. She puts her heart and soul into her work and it will definitely reflect in your ceremony. My husband and I not only came away from our ceremony with each other, but we have also made a terrific friend in Pastor April. If you want to have an extra special ceremony, do you and your fiance a favor and look no further than her. You will not be sorry. Our wedding guests are still talking about our ceremony and we got married on August 8th. My husband and I would love to have another ceremony just to be able to work with Pastor April again. Best of luck to all the couples who may read this. You are about to embark on one of the happiest times of your lives! ~Chris & Georgette

Thank you, Marie April Gismondi for bringing the sunshine to my wedding and for giving us the most special memories that we will always treasure. You bring such warmth and charm and we really appreciate everything you did for us on our wedding day and the days leading up to it. Thanks so much and best of luck to you.
