I knew the moment that I met Pastor April that she would be the perfect woman to marry us. She created the perfect ceremony for us, helping us put our feelings and relationship into words. We were able to customize the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. Pastor April is extremely professional and was there for me every step of the way. My wedding day was perfect! I wouldn't have changed anything.
Marie April Gismondi was the most wonderful woman! She provided professional service, while still maintaining a warm personal relationship with us and our families. Our guests all felt a strong connection with her, and her services are highly reccomended. She was flexible and offered many options, and she was affordable! Call her today before she is booked! we are telling everyone we know about her! Jason & Jessica Hauppauge, NY & Oceanside, CA
I will make this very simple...if you decide to utilize Pastor April services, you will NOT regret the decision. In fact, I have no doubt that you will look back and feel truly blessed that such a warm, caring, and understanding person presided over your special day. From the FIRST phone conversation, it was evident that she cared as much as we did about capturing the perfect words to say what we wanted to say to our family, friends, and to each other. What's more, Pastor April puts in the time and effort truly understand the two people being joined together. Her help throughout the ENTIRE process was the personification of 'putting in the extra effort.' She was equal parts officiant, wedding planner, and therapist throughout the time we worked together. In all 3 capacities, her assistance was absolutely invaluable. Finally, it's worth mentioning that after the ceremony was over, she made a point of coming up to the bridal suite (where we were eating and relaxing) to thank US for allowing her to preside over the ceremony. She told us that SHE had been excited for our wedding since she met us. It was an absolutely unbelievable feeling to be so connected with our officiant. Our wedding day was perfect, and Pastor April was a major reason why. Just as we do, you will feel truly blessed should you decide to work with her.
April is an amazing person. We felt so comfortable with her. She made our wedding ceremony so personal, and had the entire place in tears. (happy of course). She has a loving angelic presence, and I thank god that we found her. The entire ceremony was about Jonathan and I, she helped us write our own personal vows, that were a surprise to each of us. She also typed out and made our vows into a beautiful book for us to keep and cherish always. She worked very hard to make our day perfect, and it showed in every way..
David and I can not stop talking about the perfect wedding ceremony we had on 11/01/03. April listened to all of our wants and desires for our wedding and was able to create exactly what we wanted. It was the perfect wedding!!!
