You need someone for a wedding or an event, not a relationship. Dating apps are the wrong tool, and escort sites are the wrong category entirely. Here's the honest middle ground, and how to choose well.
A dating app is built to find you a partner — the small performance of being interested, the follow-up, the hoping it goes somewhere. That's the opposite of what a plus-one needs to be. And escort services are a different thing altogether, which most people looking for a wedding companion want nothing to do with. What you actually want is narrow and specific: good company for one evening, appropriate to the occasion, with no complication afterwards.
Good signs: ID verification on both sides, public-venues-only bookings, a written code of conduct, a proper application process, and plain, non-suggestive language throughout.
Walk away if: it meets at private homes or hotel rooms, hints at anything sexual, uses "girlfriend experience" or similar wording, or takes anyone instantly with no checks. That's a different category, and not what you're looking for.
April is a women-run, private plus-one service. We match approved clients with a vetted, strictly platonic plus-one for weddings, dinners, the theatre and work events. Both clients and plus-ones are ID-checked and video-screened; every booking is in a public venue; boundaries are clear from the start. It is not a dating service, and not an adult service.
Read how it works, or how we keep it safe.
If what you want is calm, appropriate company for one specific occasion — nothing more, nothing after — a platonic plus-one service is the honest answer. That's exactly what April is.
For weddings and formal occasions, arranged in advance, in public venues.
