April is amazing! She was able to put together a beautiful story & vows for our wedding! She asked us questions about us & our love story & was able to turn it into exactly what we had hoped for! She was also always there to answer any questions we had!

April is amazing!

April is absolutely fantastic! We were so lucky to have her officiate our wedding! She made sure our ceremony was so personalized and special. Right before our outdoor ceremony we had a surprise storm and she helped our venue and groomsmen set everything up in time inside and it ended up being absolutely stunning. Thank you April for everything! 😊 100/10 recommend!!!

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found April!!

April was truly fantastic! I had done a lot of searching and was feeling a bit nervous we may not find the right fit, we aren't an especially traditional couple and really wanted a ceremony that was true to who we are. The first time we spoke to April on the phone we knew we had to work with her, it was so easy to talk with her and she really took the time to really get to know us as a couple! Leading up to the wedding we really appreciated her responsiveness and the way she was always happy to help with any questions we had! She was fully open to any input we had, including some very last minute changes and additions on our end! She put together such a truly beautiful, heartfelt (and funny!) ceremony that was unique to us and allowed us to have a direct hand in its creation which made it that much more special, it truly could not have been more perfect! When all was said and done, she mailed our marriage certificate for us as well! And impressively fast at that, I swear she must have gone straight the post office from our ceremony haha! I would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a heartfelt, one of a kind ceremony!
