April did a great job officiating our wedding! Our ceremony was perfect and exactly as we envisioned.

During the planning phase, April first got to know us as a couple and how we pictured our ceremony. A couple months out from the wedding, she provided us with a draft of the ceremony and we had some back and forth revisions until it was perfect. She frequently reminded us that we had 100% veto rights and she would not say anything we didn’t want her to say.

At our ceremony April told our story, did a knot tying ritual that we requested, and kept the focus on us instead of her. Our guests both laughed and cried. Would highly recommend April to anyone getting married!

This review is a bit late on my part but hopefully well worth the wait!

April Beer is a fantastic wedding officiant if what you're looking for is a completely customized and personal ceremony that will make anyone laugh, cry, or both. If you're looking for some basic, cookie-cutter officiant, then move along.

But if you're a couple who wants to have an experience, a true celebration of your union that also includes all of your loved ones and friends, then April Beer should be your go-to.

From the very beginning, she was super personable and fun - took the time to get to know us and made sure we were a good fit to work together. From there, we went back and forth so she could learn more about us and what we were looking for in a ceremony. She was an absolute delight throughout the whole process, and funny to boot.

(April also helped reign it in when needed during the practice run and day of - she was on point and a big help!)

April even asked if I wanted her to match the theme of the wedding (including nail polish, too. I didn't even know that was a thing? Also, what kind of bride dictates their wedding officiant's nails?!)

Our wedding ceremony was nothing short of awesome - it was funny and personal, filled with love, and a little bit of beer too. (Ayyyeee!) We couldn't have done it without her.

Thank you so much for making our day special and weird.

Quick to respond to my message and reasonably priced

April was wonderful to work with. She really took the time to get to know us as a coupe as well as individuals and created a unique and heartfelt ceremony for us. All of our guests kept telling us how much they were touched by the ceremony and how unique and wonderful it was.

We could not be happier with our choice of celebrant! April was warm, funny and filled our ceremony with love and personal touches! She gave us plenty of time before the wedding to meet and go over a ceremony to create one that was perfect for us. We highly recommend April!

It could not have been better. April is totally professional with the added benefit of loving her job. We didn't know what we wanted, but she met with us several times and was very patient, holding our hands through the whole process. She had great suggestions, presented options, and kept us focused. The personal touches were great, and we received many compliments. Most importantly, it was perfect for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

April did a great job of incorporating our backgrounds into a very personal and warm ceremony. We wanted to respect both of our families' traditions but did not want it to be religious. April told our story with humor and incorporated a unity candle ceremony, ring ceremony, and presentation to my stepdaughter - all in under 30 minutes. We got a lot of compliments on how special it was!

So many of our guests remarked on the content of our ceremony - April did a fantastic job! She is very flexible in tailoring the ceremony to meet your preferences (religious versus secular, for example) to produce an experience that conveys the “vibe” you and your partner want on your big day. Highly recommend!

Words can not describe how amazing april is. My husband and I found april a month before our wedding ( due to a minor glitch with our previous officiant.) Immediatley after our ceremony we were brought to our bridal suite and our first words as husband and wife were , " wow, april did an amazing job." She was the best Decision we made. During our first phone call april was so calm and made us feel so comfortable. We met with her a couple days later and truly felt as if we had known her for years. I understand how big of a decision it is to choose an officiant, but I can assure you that she is the one.. look no further! April helped create our dream ceremony. She was able to incorporate both of our religions ( Jewish and catholic) along with personal stories that made the crowd laugh. the ceremony was truly amazing, everyone came up to us throughout cocktail hour, reception, and even days after to compliment april.

April, thank you so much!! Xox

April Beer is the absolute best! I cannot begin to express how happy we were to have April as our officiant!

My husband and I got married in Morristown, New Jersey in September 2017, but we were planning the whole wedding from our home in Washington, DC which really complicated the whole process of wedding planning. I found April's website online, and I could tell from the first moment that she seemed like exactly what I was looking for. We got in touch via email and met via Skype. My husband and I loved April immediately; she made us feel so comfortable and she clearly is doing what she loves which meant a lot to us. April gave us some real homework to do so she could get acquainted with each of us as individuals and as a couple, asking about our lives and how we came together, what challenges we had overcome and milestones we celebrated. She advised us through the entire process, answering our questions and providing guidance without ever being overbearing or bossy. She was open to all our weirdness (of which there was a bunch!) and listened really carefully when we told her what we were hoping for from our ceremony. April made sure there were no surprises with the ceremony, giving us full control of the final product.

The day of the wedding was the first time we all met in person, and it felt like I knew her forever. She made me feel just as comfortable in person, running us through the rehearsal and making sure everyone knew what was going on. I cannot recommend working with April enough. She is one of a kind!
