    Wonderful, personal ceremony

    April was lovely to work with from start to finish. With only a little work on our part, she created an absolutely beautiful ceremony that was everything we hoped for. Would highly recommend!!

    10/10 Review

    We had the absolute pleasure of working with April Kelly as our wedding officiant, and she was truly wonderful from start to finish. Leading up to the wedding, she took the time to meet with us, get to know our story, and craft a ceremony that felt deeply personal and meaningful. Her script was thoughtful, beautifully written, and captured exactly what we envisioned for our day.

    On the wedding day, April’s warm and calming presence set the perfect tone for our ceremony. She was professional, organized, and spoke with such grace and sincerity that every moment felt heartfelt and genuine. She made us and our guests feel comfortable and truly brought our love story to life. We couldn’t have asked for a better officiant to guide us into marriage and we highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make their ceremony unforgettable.

She was also open to our suggestions and made sure everything reflected us as a couple. On top of that, she was warm and friendly, which helped put us at ease. We’re so glad we chose her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding officiant!

    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!!!

    Best Officiant

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with April in December of 2022. She came highly recommended by our wedding venue and trust me when I say she did not disappoint. April is down-to-earth, personable, and kind. She delivered a seamless ceremony that was exactly what we asked for. Cannot recommend her enough!

    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!

    April was absolutely amazing. She customized our entire ceremony and was so accommodating, especially when I wanted things added last minute! The ceremony was personal, heartfelt, and funny all at the same time. All my guests RAVED about how awesome our ceremony was and complimented on what a beautiful job April did. 100% would recommend her!

    April was awesome!

    April did an awesome job officiating our wedding. We wanted something simple but that really showed who we were and her sermon delivered! She worked with us to edit it multiple times so that it reflected our relationship perfectly. She was very personable, responsive, and punctual as well!

    Highly Highly Recommend April!

    April officiated our wedding this past July and she was incredible to work with. She also responded to our texts and emails very quickly. April instantly made us feel comfortable and gave us confidence that she could tailor the ceremony to fit us perfectly. She was knowledgable, professional and experienced. Her ceremony was elegantly written with lots of humor. She even took care of mailing in our marriage certificate for us. Thanks April!

    Absolutely Beautiful Ceremony

    April was so sweet from the moment we first spoke! We ended up finding April just a few short weeks before the wedding because of the changes from Covid and she was there every step of the way to help with anything we needed. The way she asked us personal questions about our relationship to write her own little story about us for the sermon was just perfect and we could not have asked for anything better! It was almost like we have known her forever! April made our ceremony just absolutely perfect and we are so happy we decided to go with her as our Officiant!

    Outstanding!

    Being a covid bride, we had many ups and downs with our wedding process. The most unexpected was when a family member who we had planned to officiate for a year bowed out at the last minute. I found April on WeddingWire and another local site and she responded to my email immediately. I spoke with her the following day and was instantly put at ease. April sent me a couple scripts from previous weddings she had done and a questionnaire for myself and my fiancé to fill out. From what we sent she sent us a beautiful ceremony to look over and I don’t think we even made one change. On the night before our ceremony I had to email April very late with some last minute covid requirements and she went with the flow and was right on top of it. Our ceremony was amazing, it felt like an old friend was performing it, and we had so many compliments on how perfect it was for my husband and I. We were pretty non-traditional and she helped make it exactly the ceremony we wanted.

    Special ceremony

    April performed a very special ceremony for my niece. April’s personality is infectious. She gets to know the couple and creates a personal and unique ceremony. I highly recommend April to make whatever ceremony you choose to be memorable.
