Andy was phenomenal!

I am so glad we found Andy! He did an incredible job officiating our wedding without a rehearsal and a lot of chaos right before the wedding was to begin because it was a rainy day and we had to change the area that we were going to have the wedding. Andy helped setup the chairs under a covered area ant the last minute and was the calming presence and voice when we needed it most. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a great minister to officiate their wedding!

We love Andy! 9/13/25

We used Andy as our officiant and what a good choice it was! From our first conversation via phone call, me and my husband both knew right away that Andy was the one for us. He has such a kind and joyous spirit! He did a great job of learning our story, and even working in a special vow for us on our wedding day. He did everything he could to ease our nerves for every meeting leading up to the big day, and even did a moment of grounding during the ceremony (which was a huge help!). He has such a talent for combining humor into an otherwise serious occasion - keeping things light, fun, and really reading the room. We absolutely loved working with Andy and would highly recommend choosing him as an officiant!! Andy is the man!!!

Hire this guy

Andy was such an incredible ray of sunshine to be around especially on my wedding day. He was the calm to our storms and was able to be very flexible on my times and also with planning the wedding. Great at communication and Great at reminding me what I need and helped us figure out what we wanted for our wedding. The wedding itself with Andy was probably my favorite part . We were so nervous and he really calmed our nerves and made the ceremony with so much laughter and also serious at the same time. I truly recommend Andy because he puts so much effort into his work and I am thankful for him!

June 7th wedding

We can’t say enough great things about our experience working with Andy. My wife and I were struggling to find someone close to the family to perform our ceremony and decided to look at potential other options when we came across Andy’s page. From our first encounter it was obvious to us that Andy would be perfect for our ceremony. He took the time to meet with us and learn about our story and our relationship. He was able to take details from our lives and include them into the ceremony in a way that fit exactly what we wanted from our ceremony. Multiple guests have reached out since our wedding day and commented on how great our officiant was. If you want someone who will go above and beyond to make your day special, Andy’s your guy.

Wedding 4/26/2025

Andy did a fantastic job officiating our wedding this past weekend. He had great communication and ensured that we got everything we wanted for our ceremony. Andy showed flexibility during our rehearsal when some our guests were late and even adapted to an indoor ceremony when it began to rain 30 minutes before our outdoor ceremony was supposed to begin. Andy's bright energy and personality really made our wedding and rehearsal, allowing us to laugh and reminisce as we talked about love and some of things important to us during our relationship. We told Andy a few important stories from my husbands and I's time dating and he turned them into a beautiful story of love and perfectly captured our relationship. Andy exceeded our expectations and I highly recommend him for any couple looking to get married soon.

Seriously, the best officiant I have seen. I do 20-30 wedding ceremonies per year as a DJ, and Andy has a great way of combining his personality and humor to every ceremony he officiates. Most importantly, he tells a great story for the couples that he is working with. Highly recommend you check him out if you're getting married!
