    April is the best!

    April is incredible at what she does. Besides being a gifted & engaging public speaker, she is truly a kind & genuine person. Almost every single guest at our wedding approached one of us about how touched they were by April's sermon and how amazing she was. Can't recommend her enough!

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    From my first email with April. I knew she was the one for us. Aside from having the same “sign off” as me, love and light, there was an instant connenction and I knew April would be the officiant for us. April is warm, responsive, professional while also being personal and quickly becomes like a family member. She made the ceremony writing process flawless and much less scary than it seems. If you are looking for someone that is going to give you the ceremony of your dreams, April is the person for you. My family is STILL raving about how amazing April was! I have already referred her to a few people and our wedding was only a week ago! Our wedding would not have been the same without her!

    Love and Light.

    Simply Amazing

    Look no further for your officiant! April is incredibly easy to work with and she makes the process very simple and fun! My fiancé at the time and I spoke with her for 1 hour on the phone. From that discussion, the VERY next day, she had our entire ceremony written out! She is truly gifted and wrote us a personalized ceremony which lasted 30 minutes long...again from speaking to us for only 1 hour!!! Guests of my wedding were blown away at the beauty of our vows. She is amazing. Choose her, you will not regret it in the least.

    There are not enough words or gratitude that I can say on how amazing Pastor April is!
    I've worked in the industry and had met April a few times on different weddings we worked together on. Everytime her ceremonies blew me away, they were just so passionate and heartfelt, I knew if I ever get married, she is going to be the one to marry me!
    That day did come, my fiance was nervous about meeting someone and wasn't sure what to expect and pastor April like I knew she would, made him feel at ease and comfortable.
    We Met for a few hours and it was like a therapy session. She would ask us questions and we would answer them and she in turn would write a rough draft outline of the ceremony right there. By the end of it, we had laughed, cried, and created a beautiful ceremony together that was made just for us.
    When it came time for the actual ceremony, Pastor April was phenomenal as always. Everyone after our ceremony kept telling us how perfect it was and how it was just all about us and nothing they have ever heard before. I was so excited and happy!
    We love Pastor April and I know anyone else who decides to book her will love her as well!
    Thank You Pastor April for the amazing work you did, we can't thank you enough!!

    After emailing Pastor April as a recommended Officiant for our venue, we knew right away we had to use her. She was so enthusiastic and excited for us, it made us even more excited! She always responded quickly to all our emails and gave us step by step instructions for everything, from filing for our marriage license to how I go about changing my name post wedding. She worked well with us and made a beautiful ceremony. We are still receiving compliments!! We highly recommend her!

    Pastor April is fabulous! She made my wedding day so special. She was very professional and easy to talk to, and she helped us figure out what we wanted for our ceremony. She also answered our questions promptly in the weeks leading up to the big day. Many thanks, Pastor April!

    Where do I begin? Pastor April was a pleasure to work with from the very beginning. Once we met her we knew we wanted her to perform the most important part of our wedding, and we're so happy with our decision. She was always there to answer any questions we had along the way and help us with the paperwork and steps we had to take. Day of, she was early did her sound check and went over everything with us. Her presence was so calming and a breath of fresh air with all the craziness the rest of the day entailed. I cannot count how many people commented on how wonderful our ceremony was and how unique it was compared to other weddings they have been to. Thank you SO much Pastor April!!!

    Pastor April is one of the most amazing people I have ever met. She really got to know my husband and I (besides knowing us from officiating my sisters wedding, as well as another friends wedding). She was perfect at our ceremony. Eloquent, professional, calming, knowledgeable, and genuine. She took care of everything from helping us get all our paperwork together during our whirlwind day, to our first kiss as husband and wife. We were lucky to have her officiate our ceremony. She is the best of the best and she really knows how to make a wedding ceremony the loving celebration it should be between 2 soulmates. We love her!

    Pastor April is AMAZING! As a same sex couple, Pastor April made us feel very comfortable when other officiants we met did the exact opposite. We met with Pastor April to personalize our ceremony at her house. After asking us questions and listening to our responses, she was able to write out our ceremony on the spot- she is brilliant with her words! She assured us that she would guide us throughout the ceremony, which she did so well. From start to finish we felt at ease knowing that she handled everything with professionalism, efficiency, and passion. Everything went perfectly! We are still getting compliments, as our guests are telling us that it was the most intimate ceremony they have been to. We would definitely recommend Pastor April to anyone who asks!

    Pastor April has now married my husband's 2 cousins, and when we got engaged we had to have her too! She is a master at creating an extremely personal ceremony that encompasses your love and relationship but keeps the ceremony down to a reasonable time where your guests still enjoy it. We decided to write a personalized ceremony with her and she invited us into her home and asked us what we wanted first, asked us how we met, what qualities we liked in each other, and spun everything into a really wonderful ceremony that we will cherish for a lifetime. Pastor April is very reasonable with pricing, devotes a cushion time to your ceremony the day of the wedding to ensure she is not late or rushing out of your wedding. All paperwork required to change your name or any marital questions you might have were listed on her website and she just made life sooo easy. I'm definitely going to continue to recommend her A++++

Great communication, very professional and very flexible!

    Pastor April was outstanding!!! Everyone at my wedding is still talking about how special our ceremony was and how they loved her. I have already recommended her to people and will continue to do so. She is focused on the couple and how to best represent them within the ceremony. She writes the ceremony specific to the things that matter most to you and does an awesome job of conveying those messages to your guests. She also walks you through how things work with marriage licesnes, name changes, etc. There are not enough words for how she brought our ceremony to life with her passion for the expression of love a couple is experiencing on their wedding day.

    Pastor April was amazing to work with. She did a great job on our wedding ceremony. Everyone loved her personal touches along the way and couldn't stop sharing their favorite parts. Pastor April also did a great job of making my husband and I feel comfortable during the whole process it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end!
