Our Amazing Day.....

I must say Minister April Brown was the perfect officiant for our wedding. We were so grateful that she officiated our wedding ceremony! Minister April answered all of the questions we had months before our wedding. She helped us fully understand each part of the marriage registration process. Minister April was personable and made us feel comfortable from our first meeting. Thank you Minister April for making our Special Day so memorable!!

Perfect Fir

I found Minister April here on Wedding Wire and we couldn’t have found a more perfect person to officiate our wedding. I felt good about her from the first phone call, she was super responsive, took the time to get to know us, and regularly checked in before the ceremony to make sure she had any updates. She was wonderful and we are so thankful she officiated our wedding. She also promptly filed our marriage license which was important because we were able to get copies before heading back to Chicago. If you are looking for an officiant for your wedding in the Virginia Beach area, we highly recommend Minister April!

Wonderful Experience

Minister April married my husband and I this past September. Ever since our first conversation she was warm, inviting, and professional. The same thing goes when we finally met her in person at the wedding rehearsal. She ensured to ask us questions regarding the vision for our ceremony and executed our wants perfectly and with such beautiful words. We cannot thank Minister April enough for officiating our ceremony.
