About Andrea
Ok, a bit about me. I grew up in England and emigrated to Australia with my family, I have lived in Perth most of my life. I fell madly in love and got married (what a beautiful/memorable day that was) and we raised two wonderful children, we now have 4 Grandsons that we love to bits.
​
My career over the years has spanned from Real Estate followed by working in the health industry. Marketing and public speaking is what I have enjoyed for many years, meeting so many wonderful people along the way.
My enjoyment now is spending precious time with my family whenever possible. Going for walks with my adorable King Charles spaniel, gardening and being a marriage celebrant.
​
There are so many beautiful places in Perth and surrounding areas to tie the knot, I have had the pleasure to marry couples in Yanchep through to Margaret River and many places in between.
I am based South of river and love the coastal city of Mandurah with it's beautiful beaches and estuaries, consider the following areas "Stingray Point" in Mandurah for your wedding, it's on the water front with it's large Morton Bay fig tree standing so proudly and see from afar. Or Noble River Estate, Dwellingup with chalet style accommodation. The beautifully maintained Heritage Stirling Cottage gardens, Harvey or for something traditional, the quaint St. Paul's church (deconsecrated) in Jarrahdale. Just a few of many wonderful places to have your wedding ceremony.
​
As a celebrant I have no judgement, "Love is Love" laughter and happiness on your special day, enjoyed with your family and friends, just perfect.
​
I would love to hear from you and even better to meet you both in person for a friendly chat over a cup of coffee or a wine to share all your exciting plans and for you to make sure I would be the right celebrant for your big day. Give me a call or send me an email is the first step.

​
Where to begin?
Congratulations, you are engaged to the love of your life and now planning for your wedding day. So much to think about, where to start? Well, your Celebrant is a good start, without a celebrant you will be having a very expensive party.
Choosing the celebrant that is right for you is important.
I create bespoke ceremonies to suit you, for a stress free day filled with laughter and special moments.
Our first No Obligation meeting is your opportunity to ask me questions and tell me all your exciting plans for the big day.
​
I also discuss the following details:
-
The legal documentation - The Notice of Intended Marriage form is lodged with your celebrant within 18 months of the wedding date & no less than 1 mth of the wedding date. (shortening of time under special circumstances).
-
Show you examples of the marriage certificates and a ceremony format.
-
Explain the difference between an elopement ceremony and the traditional ceremony.
-
I provide you with a wedding checklist to assist you with your planning.
-
Ideas for your personal wedding vows and ring exchange verses., and a list of song selections.
-
I print your personal vows on lovely keepsake cards plus a keepsake of your ceremony to reflect on through the years ahead.
-
I provide you with ideas for wedding readings/poems or maybe you would like a Unity Ceremony that can include members of your family.
-
I have a great PA system and microphone with bluetooth capability for playing your choice of music & songs.
-
A Rehearsal is discussed (at the venue if possible).
​
​​So whether you are planning an elopement ceremony, traditional or a themed ceremony, ie comic book fan or Game of Thrones etc, I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your special day! I'm just a phone call away.
