With marriage equality becoming the law of the land in America, it's an exciting time for me and many that I know and love. I want to be a part of your special day.

I specialize in small, simple wedding ceremonies. In many cases, I'm called upon at the last minute to officiate a marriage and I am more than happy to do so. I would be delighted to discuss all the details with you when you call or email.

Wonderful Officiant!

Not only Andy was so kind, but his professionalism is impeccable. Andy's response time was quick and would answer all my questions. Thank you for giving such a wonderful service for me and Bryan and maintained professionalism and went along with the Bigfoot's debut when he came out to congratulation us. I couldn't have asked for a better Officiant!! Plus, the price was great! Thank you so much, Andy!!

Mr. Andy was the absolute best to work with. He made the entire process smooth and allowed space and time for questions. 10/10!!! I do recommend!!

Mr. Andy was there at least an hour before the event. He spoke with both myself and the groom. He was easy going and super helpful on a day where stress levels are through the roof. He allowed any time and space for questions or concerns. He is kind and has a great sense of humor. I recommend his services!!

Perfect Ceremony

Andy delivered the perfect ceremony for our wedding. He provided several options and provided a copy of the ceremony beforehand so we could make any needed changes. We would highly recommend using him.

We adore Andy

Andy is wonderful and sweet as can be. He was flexible and drove from Shelby to Waxhaw to officiate our wedding. We had a hand fasting that we wasn’t familiar with but he still made it happen after watching a few videos. He was respectful of our religious views and was absolutely open to all of our non traditional ideas. We would happily hire Andy again. He and his wife are lovely.

Andy was perfect for our NC wedding!

My husband & I are from Kentucky and traveled to North Carolina for our wedding and needed an officiant in the area. Without knowing anybody, Andy was the perfect match found for us. He was super accommodating and responsive. He had our script written out exactly how we imagined. Our families enjoyed the beautiful service and we appreciate all the kind words and effort put into our wedding. We can’t recommend Andy enough to anyone getting married!

Beautiful Ceremony

Andy was amazing. We had a change in venue and he came all the way to downtown Charlotte. We also had a slight hiccup and delay. He stayed and waited to make sure he can perform the ceremony even when he had a flight in an hour! He was very sweet, patient and performed a wonderful ceremony. We are truly thankful we hired Andy for our wedding ceremony and look forward to staying in touch. Thank you!!!
