I was very happy working with Andreá and so wasy (now) wife. We had a nice ceremony on Halloween and we were guided every step of the way: from education on the marriage license timeline, to multiple calls going over the ceremony and wedding script. While I hope I never have to use her again lol, if anyone else our there is getting married in the future, please do yourself a favor and book Andreá

We decided to have a micro-wedding weekend- with our dearest and nearest staying at a private estate- in addition to this unique venue, we also had many Soulaan/ Black American traditions we wanted to incorporate in our Christ-led ceremony. Andrea did not hesitate in agreeing to officiant our big day (At A LATE NOTICE, mind you).
She was very intentional to understand and execute our vison from the very beginning. We really admired her consultation and her dedication to incorporate our cultural traditions with excellence.
In the theme of our wedding, Timeless Black Love; Andrea fit right in with our family- she showered us with love as if she known us our whole lives, such a heartfelt example of community! She was a vital reason why our wedding weekend was perfect; her genuine passion for what she does and love for the couples she serves :)
Her professionalism, efficiency, and amazing prices and services offered is 10/10! We so deeply appreciate you! All our love- The LeNoir-Lopez's

We had a quick but incredibly meaningful ceremony, and I’m so grateful to our officiant for making it everything I had hoped for. She was warm, thoughtful, and really took the time to craft an experience that felt true to us. Even in a short amount of time, she made it feel intimate and personal. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to guide us into this new chapter, thank you so much Andréa!
