HI, I’M ANDREA

I'm an inclusive, Sydney-based wedding celebrant creating modern, meaningful ceremonies that reflect each of my couple’s values, story and style.

I take a collaborative approach to crafting personalised ceremonies that are relaxed, engaging and heartfelt - with warmth, humour and a calm, thoughtful approach. I believe your ceremony should be a true reflection of you and your relationship, and a highlight of your day.
While I’m based in Sydney, I regularly travel to the Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands and South Coast.

If you're looking for a celebrant who’ll really listen, guide you through the process and create something genuine and memorable, I’d love to chat.
