    Incredible

    April was an incredible officer. She responded quickly when we got in touch, making us feel very comfortable. The ceremony was incredible. It definitely made our day happier.

    I love April!

    I will try not to be too long winded with this but we had a very chilly elopement and April was a very crucial part of making it all we could have asked for. She was always available to chat or if I had questions. She literally stood by us every step of the way. I am beyond excited to tell you if there's any question who you would want by you on such a special day, the answer is April 100%. So thankful for her!

    Wedding officiant

    April was a joy to work with. She worked with us to help make our wedding day as special as we hoped. Couldn’t ask for a better officiant.

    Beautiful Ceremony

    We had an wonderful experience with April. She helped us craft a beautiful, personalized, ceremony. We received so many compliments on the ceremony script from our guests. April was great to work with and was so responsive to our questions over the course of the months we worked with her.

    Elopement 9/3/2022

    April was absolutely amazing!! Very communicative and helpful along the way. She made everything so simple and easy and was available very last minute and was happy to help us with our elopement. She offered vow suggestions and wrote an absolutely beautiful ceremony for us. She also traveled to our preferred location to marry us. She was also very affordable and such a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend April for your special day!

    April was amazing!!

    April was such a great vendor to work with! When looking for wedding vendors- it can be such a daunting experience, but April made finding & picking an officiant a breeze. She was super responsive to any & all questions. When it came to the day of- she went above & beyond and I can’t recommend her more!

    8-4-22 Flaherty wedding

    We had a small ceremony at my sister in law’s house because my husband’s Mom was passing away from Cancer. I had messaged April a little while beforehand so she could write our vows and ring exchanges. April was very professional and understanding of our situation and helped us tremendously throughout the whole event. It couldn’t have gone smoother and more beautiful. We will always be so thankful for April.

    April was the officiant of our last minute elopement and was absolutely perfect. She has a beautiful way with words and makes the process so easy. We have no regrets about picking her and would do it again in a heartbeat!

    The Perfect Offbeat Officiant!!!

    April was amazing! She was extremely friendly, and made getting married stress free. She helped us every step of the way. Our ceremony was very personalized towards us which made it feel very special. Her short and sweet ceremony was exactly what we wanted! 10/10 would recommend!

    Winter wedding wonderful! ✨

    April was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was responsive and ready to officiate our wedding with one weeks notice. She truly made our day special. My wife and I wanted something simple, meaningful, and stress free for our intimate ceremony and April delivered! She helped us with everything from writing our vows to location recommendations and what she said during our ceremony was beautiful and kept us grounded in the moment and in our love.

    Thank you, April!

    Highly Recommended- April is amazing!

    My partner and I were looking for a small but special moment to do the legal part of our marriage ceremony. April's Short and Sweet ceremony service was EXACTLY what we wanted. She is absolutely amazing- so kind, thoughtful, and loving. She wrote the best ceremony script we could have asked for and was so communicative. She comes highly recommended by us, especially for LGBT+/same-sex couple pairings! If you're considering using her as your Justice of the Peace, I say go for it- you won't regret it! Thanks again, April!

    Thank you April!!

    Our wedding ceremony was perfect thanks to April’s ability to personalize the script and make it unique. We wanted our ceremony to reflect us as a couple and it did just that. With little direction it was spot on and we received multiple compliments on our ceremony. Additionally, the keepsake marriage certificate is beautiful and unique, we love it! We would recommend April to anyone hoping to have a modern ceremony and officiant :)

    April is amazing!

    April was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process! When she was recommended by our venue, I pulled up her Facebook and I immediately knew she would be perfect for us! I got such a great vibe right away! She was so thorough throughout her emails (and patient with me when I was terrible at responding right away! Lol) During our ceremony we felt so comfortable and her words were so full of love and joy! Highly recommend April!

    April is amazing!!

    April was originally found through our wedding planner and was the first JP that we talked to. She was actually the only JP we talked to because once we finished our initial conversation was complete, both my now husband and I couldn’t have agreed more that we didn’t need to speak to anyone else! She is funny, kind, professional,
    accommodating, and is one of those people that you could talk to for hours. I can’t possibly imagine anyone else doing as amazing of a job as she did, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a JP.

    Best officiant ever!!!

    We couldn't ask for a better officiant than April! From our first conversation April took the time to really get to know the both of us, asked a bunch of questions to make sure our ceremony was personalized and made us feel so comfortable with the entire process. She sent a draft of the ceremony and really double checked to make sure it was completely what we had hoped for. The day of our wedding she arrived ahead of schedule and assured us everything would be perfect, and it was! We received so many compliments from our guests on how special and intimate our ceremony felt. We would recommend April to anyone and everyone!! Look no further!

    Wedding experience

    April was an amazing officiant at our wedding. She delivered a beautiful ceremony, and we had so many comments from our guests about how emotional it was. She was prompt and professional every time she communicated with us, and we are so thankful she was able to officiate our special day.

    Raindrops Kepp Falling On My Head(Skip Missie 7-3-2021)

    April was the consummate professional. From ONE Skype meeting, she was able to put together a ceremony that, if you didn't know any better, you would have thought she knew us our whole lives!
    My Miss and I could not have asked for anything more touching, beautiful, and personal.

    Fantastic!!!

    April was absolutely amazing! She was extemely lenient considering our original JOP canceled last second! She was friendly, lovely and just absolutely beyond exceptional. If you have any doubt on who you should pick- this is your girl! I can't express how much I loved even just having her there to do it. Well spoken, humble, charismatic... I could gush on and on! Just seriously - pick her!!

    April is Amazing!

    I don't think anything can faze April. When lightning struck less than 800 feet away during our ceremony, April just kept on going as if nothing had happened. Earlier in the planning process, April was equally cool when COVID forced us to replan the wedding several times. Acts of nature aside, April is amazing to work with. The first time we talked to her on the phone, it felt like we were catching up with an old friend. We instantly knew we had found our officiant. April works very hard to give you the wedding ceremony you want, while also using her expertise to help guide you through any parts of the ceremony that you might not be so sure about. We can’t recommend her highly enough.

    April did an amazing job at our wedding. She made all the small details so seamless and stress free! I honestly thought I’d be hearing the same ol do you take this man speech, but she turned my wedding into something that felt so intimate and special. She helped us in a pinch and was super responsive to any messages of questions or requests we had. We thank her so much and when this whole pandemic is over we will be returning for her beautiful service again.

    COVID Wedding - October 2020

    We had a big wedding planned for October of 2020 and then COVID hit and we were forced to postpone until October of 2021. After a lot of thought we decided to keep the original 2020 date and hold a very small ceremony with our parents and Best Peoples. April was recommended to us from our wedding planner and she dove right in with very little time to prepare. She met us in Boston and was flexible as we tried to make the best of it. Her thoughtful words made the day one we and our parents will never forget. While we plan to have a big ceremony in 2021, the 2020 ceremony will always be special for its intimacy. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant for the day.

    Magical! ✨

    We were so fortunate to have April as our JP on Saturday, October 3rd. She is kind and very easy to communicate with . April created a beautiful ceremony which incorporated our mothers who had recently passed and ended with a family hug with our 4 year old son. It couldn’t have been more sweet & perfect for us! Many of our guests said she was wonderful & asked us how we found her. I say, with A LOT of luck and guidance from above! April is a thoughtful person who will help you navigate the process with ease and no pressure. She has an amazing talent to really tune in to the couple and design a beautiful ceremony. She is AMAZING! Thank you so much for making our day so lovely. 💜💜💜

    Amazing Soul

    April was amazing and her soul and spirit is EVERYTHING! I instantly connected with her from the 1st initial email and from there, I knew she was the ONE to officiate our ceremony! April was a breath of fresh air and her energy matched my partner and I.

    Beautiful ceremony

    April was great to work with as a fellow vendor. Her ceremony was the short length the couple wanted, but packed in some teary moments and some laughs as well. She is relaxed and wants couples to feel as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend!

    Not just to have found one another (Michael and I) but also so lucky to have April conduct our ceremony. She put in the time and efforts to hear more about our love story. She incorporated all the elements that brought us together into our ideal, short and perfect ceremony we were looking for. It can be hard to put into words exactly what we want to take from that moment when we say "I do," but she asked all the right questions and we discovered what was right for us. After exchanging haikus, I'll finish my review with one too: the beach at sunset/ water sandwiched rocks and vows/it was perfection (thanks April!).

    Amazing highly recommend

    April Ward-Stanbrook performed our very small, intimate ceremony at Oliver Mills here in Middleboro. We immediately felt comfortable upon meeting her! She's one of those good vibe people lol! She read the sweetest words from a book she held close. I immediately teared up because it was like she pulled those words from my heart and we'd never met ❤. April thank you so much for being part of our union!

    April is amazing!

    I was looking for an officiant to plan a quickly approaching elopement day and was so excited when I saw April’s website. Seeing her page and reading “offbeat officiant” really stood out and felt like the right fit our non-traditional-esque day! April did not disappoint— She was absolutely incredible!! From a heartfelt and detailed ceremony to scaling a wall of rocks so we could have the perfect location to capture the moment we enjoyed our time with her tremendously!!! We cannot thank her enough for everything and truly could not have asked for a better person to marry us! Thank you so much, April! You are truly the BEST!

    Amazing Experience

    On behalf of my now Husband Marcus and myself I have to say April did a amazing job! She was prompt, professional and made our small ceremony feel like a Wedding ceremony come true! I can't say enough about her, but we truly appreciate all she did!

    Absolutely Wonderful

    April was absolutely lovely. She was so accommodating and responsive right up until the hour before the ceremony. Especially for our unconventional wedding! We loved her manner and are so glad we were recommended to have her officiate. 13/10 recommend!!!!!

    Amazing day thanks to this wonderful woman!!

    April was my officiant for my November 2017 wedding. She was truly amazing. She guided me through the process and made this ceremony just as we wanted it. She was helpful with suggestions and keeping me on track in a crazy busy wedding planning time. The day of her tone and pace was perfect, comforting and intimate. Even our guests felt the same. Thank you so much April!

    Such a special and unique ceremony!

    We definitely weren't going for a super traditional ceremony or wedding in general. So for us, it was super important to find an officiant that would really understand our vision for the day. And let me tell you, April is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with and was able to put together a ceremony that was so uniquely "us" despite having only met her earlier this year! We got SO many comments during the reception about how special and unique the ceremony was! Thank you, April!!

    Extraordinary

    The creative process is often a little chaotic, but some can turn anarchy into art, and that is precisely what April did. She took a handful of scattered ideas and penned them into an achingly beautiful ceremony. My wife and I broke many conventions, but the difference between our guests seeing the custom ceremony as liberating rather than sacrilegious was in April's universal message of love and respect. Our guests loved her, and several people told us how her words moved them to tears. I was certainly crying, but from the moment I arrived late for my own wedding, April took my hands and calmed me. A few guests told us they thought April was a friend of ours, because we all have brightly colored hair and we seemed to know each other so well. Although we were not friends before the wedding, I will cherish her presence at our ceremony for the rest of my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

    Dream Officiant!!

    April, the offbeat JP, was incredible. My fiancé and I are not religious, but it was still important for us to have a professional officiate our ceremony. Enter April. Of all our wedding vendors, April completely got a sense of who we were immediately when we met. It was so easy to chat with her and communicate our needs and wants. When I received the ceremony April wrote for us, I truly couldn’t believe how amazing it was. She absorbed so many details and captured our vision better than I could have even described it!! On top of that, she is prompt, professional, and so kind. I am so grateful that she guided us through the most important few minutes of our lives. Couldn’t have worked with a better JP!!!!

    The Perfect Ceremony

    We could not have asked for a better experience than the one we had with April. She was so helpful every step of the way, and wrote the most beautiful ceremony for us. She even had a spare lighter when the unity candle went out! We could not recommend her more highly.

    Very professional, delight to work with

    We’re so pleased that we chose April to officiate our wedding in early June. April was wonderful to work with and really helped make our ceremony beautiful and special. She is super organized and very professional and helped us stay up to speed with what was needed each step of the way. It was very easy and natural to work with April, and we feel (and we were told by our guests) that the ceremony that April helped us create was very authentically us. We would very highly recommend April as an officiant for your special day. Thanks so much for everything, April, you rock!!!

    Professional helpful and easy to work with

    Our experience with April was smooth and professional. There is a lot going on when you are planning a wedding. It was comforting having an officiant who was able to work with us and was understanding when were were not always the best at getting back to her.

    The ceremony itself went extremely well and we could not be happier. She took in our feedback and crafted something that felt truly special and helped create a wonderful moment for us both.

    Loved our ceremony!

    We found April on Wedding Wire as we were specifically looking for a Justice of the Peace close to our wedding venue. We decided to book April's services based on the reviews and her initial email in response to our inquiry. We were not disappointed! April helped us create a beautiful ceremony that was not religious but special and unique. We did not know where to start and based on our emails back and forth she was able to capture the sentiments and feelings we were looking for. Our guests raved about our ceremony and April was professional and fabulous on our big day. Thank you so much April for creating an unforgettable wedding ceremony for us!

    April is an amazing officiant!

    April was a perfect fit for our wedding!! Every step of the way she communicated everything so well with us and answered all my questions along the way! Every detail of our ceremony was perfectly tailored to our relationship which our guests not only noticed but complimented us on! April really is an amazing officiant and I would recommend anyone getting married to check her out! 🙂

    Perfect officiant for our urgent ceremony

    April was fantastic. We decided to get married on very short notice and picked her to be our officiant. It was to be a small ceremony with family only. Not only did she have the availability on short notice, she helped us create a custom ceremony with vows and ring exchange, working with us the whole way through, alleviating any stress. She was truly a blessing for our blessed event.

    April was our officiant for our 9-15-18 wedding and my husband and I could not have been more pleased! April was easy to get in touch with and always had the answers to my questions. We wanted something lighthearted but with with its serious moments and she wrote a fantastic ceremony that described us perfectly. It's like we had known her forever. People were raving afterwards how beautiful our ceremony was and how the vows were so well written. We felt so lucky to have her and would definitely recommend!

    April was absolutely amazing! She completely got the vibe we were going for. She wrote such a perfect ceremony. She included our kids which was awesome. I felt like it was a friend writing and performing our ceremony. She just really understood us as a family. She is so easy to get ahold of. Answers any questions so promptly. And gave me great suggestions that I wouldn’t have even thought of on my own. I had multiple people come to me and say how amazing she was! I would recommend her 100% for anyone who could use her services. Thanks April!!

    April was wonderful to work with! My husband and I chose to ask April to be our officiant based on her positive reviews and the fun vibe she presents on her website. Meeting her only on the day of the wedding we felt immediately at ease with her calm and professional demeanor. She did a great job handling the high winds that picked up during our outdoor ceremony and helped our guests think lightly of the weather as well - without even needing to comment on it! She carried on with our ceremony and projected very well so everyone could still hear her. At our request April also added into our ceremony a Sand Pouring ceremony, which we both loved as well as many of our guests who commented on it afterwards. We thank you so much for a lovely ceremony April!

    April was awesome and we’re so happy we chose her officiate our wedding. My husband had arranged for us to get married in a small intimate wedding in front of my elderly grandfather (a year before our planned wedding), so last minute I had to find a Justice of the Peace. April was great and very responsive, and quickly worked with me to get me into her schedule! It was a very emotional and stressful day but April handled every thing in such a professional and calm manner. We wouldn’t have been happier with anyone else!

    April was so patient and helpful! Every time we spoke she was full of wonderful encouragement! We did almost all of our wedding ourselves and she gave us some awesome resources for where to find items. On the day, she even helped out with fluffing 1000 paper cranes! She was such a calming presence that we definately needed! The ceremony itself was perfect and everything we could have wanted. When she sent it to us for a proofread I knew it was perfect (and cried)! You can't go wrong with choosing April! Here's hoping she is still around doimg this in many years so she can do our vow renewal!

    April is the absolute best! I needed a Justice of the Peace on very short notice. I chose April based on her location and reviews and couldn't be happier. She responded right away and was able accommodate me for the following weekend. She was so professional but at the same time I felt like she was an old friend even though our wedding was the first time I had ever met her.

    I cannot say enough about April. She was so helpful to me throughout my planning process. She gave me ideas and suggestions when planning the ceremony and sent me the final draft ahead of time. When the day came she was genuinely happy for us and felt instantly like a part of our wedding family. I highly recommend her to everyone because it's clear that she truly loves what she does. My expectations were met to the fullest.

    April is the best! From start to finish, we loved every interaction we had with her. Upon first meeting she made us feel comfortable and confident in our choice. She wrote an beautiful ceremony that was exactly what we wanted and let us change anything we wanted to suit us. The day of, she spoke with so much love and sincerity in her voice, she was perfect for this special moment. We truly felt like April was more than just doing her job, it was like we had known her forever and she truly cared about us. Thank you so much for putting so much effort and love into our ceremony and our day!

    I can not say enough about how truly beautiful and amazing my wedding ceremony was. We got so many compliments all night about how it was the perfect amount of tradition and fun. Everyone loved how beautifully she delivered the ceremony, even the die hard church ceremony advocated couldn't deny how amazing she was.
