Andrea was extremely professional and accommodating. After Covid altered our original plans for a May wedding, we decided to elope at the end of June. I contacted Andre approximately 10 days prior to our chosen date. Luckily she was available! We chose a sunrise wedding on the beach and it was absolutely perfect. I would definitely recommend Andrea!

Highly recommend
Andrea officiated us right on the beach in bay head. It was a last minute decision and she was nothing short of professional and so kind. She was so patient while we customized our wording in our ceremony (even added some words at the last minute). I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an elopement or a small wedding. It was a windy day with high tide, we did a fb live and you still heard her clear. It was a perfect day and she did an amazing job. She responded very quick to emails and answered every question we had. She also provided us with decorations, came early to set everything up.
