April was extremely professional and attentive to me and my husband’s ceremony needs! Our ceremony was perfectly tailored to us as a couple and it made it even more special. If you’re in need of an Ordained Minister, I highly recommend hiring April for your wedding!
April was a joy to talk to every time we had the opportunity to talk to her. Prior to the wedding she sent us six very thoughtful questions that she came up with to help make the perfect personalized ceremony for us. She sent over the draft a few weeks before the ceremony for our final approval and it immediately made me tear up. I love that her ceremony made us feel like old friends.
April was an absolutely phenomenal officiant! We were blown away by the professionalism and personal touch she added to our ceremony. Her attention to detail and heartfelt words made our day truly special. We couldn't have asked for a better officiant. Highly, highly recommended for anyone looking to make their ceremony unforgettable!
April is awesome! She was an absolute pleasure to work with from the start.
I would highly recommend!!
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 absolutely loved April! We got married in Buffalo but don't live in NY so we met April over Zoom and were immediately impressed by how personable and fun she is. She wrote a personalized, sweet sermon for us and made the ceremony everything we wanted it to be.
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!
April married my niece and she was a breath of fresh air. Her personality is infectious. The ceremony was so special and tailored to the couple. What a beautiful wedding.
