Father Andy Ellis

We met Father Andy through our wedding vendor, Gulf Beach Weddings.

Although our time with Father Andy was brief, he made a lasting impact in our lives.

To start, he has this spirit and energy that is contagious and it feels like we have known him forever! He was responsive, professional, caring, everything you could wish for and more in someone who is going to officiate your wedding.

The night before our wedding Father Andy had to have emergency surgery. Not only did he call me personally from the hospital personally, but he was reassuring ME everything was going to be okay. Not only that, but he showed up for us the next day and still officiated our wedding and it was AMAZING.

We cannot stop talking about how incredible Father Andy is, our family cannot stop talking about how it was the best wedding service they ever attended, it truly was incredible.

For us, God is a big part of our lives and being married on the beach felt no different than being married in a church.

Thank you, Father Andy, for showing up for us and giving us the best wedding ceremony in the world!!

What an Amazing Day! Father Andy made our wedding ceremony very comfortable and fun! We smiled and laughed the entire time. Laughter was much needed…..a Joyous Moment. Father Andy orchestrated the ceremony with such ease and elegance. Both our families became One Big Family as Father Andy joined my Bride and I as a Unit. We will always remember our Special Day. Father Andy became more than just a wedding officiant…..He became our Friend!

Our first encounter with Father Andy was a phone call a couple of months before our ceremony. We knew right away from his personality and demeanor that we would love working with him and having him officiate our wedding. That ended up being the understatement of the century!

We were not have a traditional Jewish wedding, but my husband had joked with Father Andy about wearing a tallit and smashing a glass at the ceremony. Not only did he make both of those things happen (one at very last minute), he also surprised us with a conch, which brought so much fun to the ceremony!

We kept getting comments throughout the night about how impressed our friends and family were with Father Andy. He was funny and sincere and made the whole thing such a wonderful experience for everyone involved--on his 60th birthday, no less!

I am so grateful we had the opportunity to meet Father Andy. I would recommend him to officiate anyone's ceremony, religious or not. He is such a sweet, kind, fun-loving, energetic person. He will truly go above and beyond to make your special day memorable!
