    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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.

    We're the lucky ones...

    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!).

    April Ward-Stanbrook, Justice of the Peace's reply:

    Thank you so much! It was truly a pleasure to be a part of your very special sunset ceremony! Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos!

    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.

    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.

    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!!
