    Amazing Officiant!

    April was absolutely wonderful for officiating our wedding. We had to short notice move up the date of our wedding due to my husband’s father’s medical condition, and April was so accommodating through the whole process, making it as easy as possible for us. She also didn’t hesitate when we asked if she could officiate for my husband’s sister and her wedding on the same day due to the circumstances. Then, the following day after the wedding, she even hosted the “celebration of life” memorial service for my husband’s father who sadly passed two weeks before the wedding. Overall, her professionalism, kindness, and personal touch on each event makes her someone I would recommend to anyone looking for an officiant.

    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.

    Married July 15th

    Mrs. April was amazing! She officiated our wedding in July. Communication was easy with quick responses. She listened to everything we wanted and helped the vision for our ceremony come true. Would definitely recommend her to any future couples getting married.

    Truly one of the best officiants in Hampton Roads

    We were married August 20th by April she was so delightful to work with as she really put us at ease on our day of our wedding! She was very professional, just has all the right words and made our wedding day easy and unforgettable! We highly recommend booking April!

    We also did sign up for her amazing pre marital counseling prior to the wedding to help us learn about each other more before the wedding and really setting the table to ask us good question about how we felt about topics like finances, our type of love, how we handle conflict and we even took a survey separately to see what each other says and feels about topics that are important to us. We definitely will say this was a great option to sign up for as well because we feel a lot closer now and it REALLY put us at more ease with being able to talk about issues or things we have been needing to talk about prior to the wedding that we as a couple.

    Heaven Sent

    April, you were amazing! I thank God that he lead us to your for our pre-martial counseling and to officiate our wedding. From beginning to end April was by our side, explaining the flow and expectations, and was very open minded, gentle, firm, and honest. She guided us through the challenging topics and share a wealth of best practices, coping methods, and consideration of the spouse. She was very professional, welcoming, and overall easy to be vulnerable with. It was great having April while navigating through this experience. Thank you for such an amazing experience, your service is unmatched.

    Wonderful Experience!

    An April Affair was such a great experience! April Brown officiated our wedding and was the day of coordinator. Ms. April Brown and her assistant Shae went above and beyond to ensure our event was stress free and they facilitated and communicated with all the vendors and addressed needs and activities. She kept in contact with us the entire time and really helped us with planning and organizing our event. Our wedding turned out beautiful and we were so grateful for April and her team!

    So happy I chose An April Affair!!

    April was wonderful and provided my husband and I with the most beautiful ceremony we could have ever imagined. We are extremely happy we found her. She provided a lot of ideas and suggestions for our ceremony. She really worked with us. What I really loved the most is how she took the time to know us also which made our ceremony more personable. We highly recommend An April Affair. Thank You so much April. Many hugs!

    Truly a blessing to meet someone so professional

    We called several places but had not met anyone as genuine as April, just by our first encounter we knew she would be a perfect fit for our wedding. Her professionalism and patience during the process has definitely been a real relief.

    An April Affair review

    She was amazing during the ceremony and even up to the event. Navigating the wedding was difficult during quarantine and April was there for me through the entire way. She offered help and advice whenever I needed her. She is great and would recommend her to anyone!

    Organized, personable and Timely!

    Philip and I are forever thankful for Minister April stepping in and officiating our wedding ceremony. At the 19th hour I reached out to her after my pastor could no longer officiate our wedding. She got back to us the same day and scheduled a phone call. She was organized, personable and had a very warm spirit over the phone. We booked her right away! She even called me the week of our wedding to check in on me which I thought was super sweet. She executed our ceremony perfectly- Philip and I couldn’t have imagined it being any better. Thank you again for everything Minister April. I highly recommend!

    Amazing, Timley, and professional

    We had done an Indian Wedding ceremony and wanted an officiant to validate this ceremony! April was so friendly, easy and professional to work with. She worked around how we wanted to do the ceremony and catered towards it! She also helped with this process! Would definitely recommend her to anyone! :)

    Quick and easy

    I messaged a few different organizations trying to find someone ordained for my last minute wedding. She got back to me so fast and after talking to her i knew my search was over. Both me and my husband were very happy with the ceremony. It was perfect. I highly recommend her!

    A great experience

    April affairs was very professional and she delivered everything we wanted and more. Our wedding ran an hour behind but she was very understanding and accommodating. She took the time to talk to me and my husband before the ceremony to go over everything. She had a great personality and we could not have chosen anyone better. Thanks so much April affairs.

    Simply the best

    I AM SO GLAD I CHOOSE APRIL TO PERFORM MY CEREMONY. MY ORIGINAL WEDDING DATE WAS PUSHED BACK TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF AN IMPENDING STORM, BUT SHE WAS STILL ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE US ON THE NEW DATE. SHE WAS ALWAYS SO PROMPT IN GEETING BACK WITH ME WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS OR CONCERN. BY THE TIME THE WEDDING DATE HAD COME SHE FELT LIKE ONE OF THE FAMILY. SHE EVEN HELPED WITH ME GETTING DRESSED. I COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER OFFICIANT.

    Disappointing

    I think Ms. April is a sweet spirit. However, our experience was with her was not so sweet.

    I tweaked our ceremony script to be lively and energetic. After making the changes and sent it back to her she seemed excited about the changes and stated that it reflected our personalities well. Though, during the ceremony, there was no energy or excitement the way Ms. April read it. Also, there were no clear indications when we were moving from prayer to the charge to the declaration of intent, etc. We didn't know when to say "we do" or even when to bow our heads for the prayer. There was no change in her tone AT ALL. She read it without any emotion and rarely looked up at us. So disappointing. Soon as my father and I reached the alter, she asked "who give this man to this woman?" That's not what we discussed or how we rehearsed. It upset me and confused my father. I'm sure she saw the confusion on our faces. There are 2 things I would change about our entire wedding (if i could) and number 1 is Ms. April's energy and delivery of the wedding script.

    Both my husband and I like Ms. April as a person but if I could do it over again, I wouldn't have hired her. I read the other reviews and I'm unsure how she escaped any criticism. I just wish someone would have told me. So, I'm telling you. With a clear conscious, I can not recommend Ms. April as an officiant at this time.
