Elopements

Elopements

‘To run away and to not come back to the point of origin’. I like to say that an elopement is an intimate, private and personal ceremonial experience. It usually involves you, your partner, AM Weddings and two witnesses.

Micro Weddings + Ceremonies

Micro Weddings + Ceremonies

‘An abbreviated celebration of marriage that has only a handful of guests’. A micro wedding has all the intimacy of an elopement but with more guests invited to be apart of the celebration’. Micro-weddings usually have your closest family and friends involved and are commonly positioned at your favourite beach, park, backyard or restaurant. If you’re planning your micro wedding in Byron Bay or the Gold Coast feel free to reach out to Andrew for tips and connections in the Byron Bay Wedding and Gold Coast Marriage scene.
An All Day Celebration

An All Day Celebration

A wedding with all the personal touches of a micro-wedding, but with a wedding reception to follow with all your best friends and family members. Your ‘Grand’ wedding usually involves a year of planning and preparation, and I like to think that your wedding ceremony is the start of your awesome wedding experience. This Is your day, you deserve this.
AM Weddings & Entertainment

We tie it all up with my celebrant and MC skills to help soundtrack your wedding and provide Entertainment for all aspects of your Best Day Ever.

About Me

I am a dad, husband, surfer, lover of the outdoors, sport and live music. Over the past 20 years, I have been a lifeguard, school teacher, traveler, pizza chef, and sales rep. I have a silly memory for ridiculous stuff, and I love learning new things about people and the world. If I am not at a wedding or playing music, I’ll probably be checking the surf, footy scores and seeing what my beloved dragons are up to.

 

I have been in the wedding industry for about a decade now and I love the connectedness, unity, emotion, laughter, and tears that weddings bring out in people. From the first email to the last photo, I love the process and building of a fairytale ceremony and turning it into a reality. I get my energy, enthusiasm and drive from meeting new people, learning about them, hearing their story and finding out what makes them want to commit to each other FOREVER.

 

I have an uncanny knack of being calm and calculated through stressful times (a trait I inherited from my mother) –but I can’t handle not knowing the details of something or sleeping in past 7 am…….. ok, enough about me, tell me more about you…

  • On your wedding day, you just want the bloke standing up there marrying you to make you as comfortable and relaxed as possible. Andrew did this with such class making our special day an absolute breeze. From our first meeting, he was determined to tailor his services around exactly the mood we were after, always doing so with a smile on his face. His love for celebrating weddings is infectious and everyone at our wedding loved the flavour he brought to the day. We are so thankful for Andrew's involvement on our day and we are proud to also call him our friend.

  • If you're looking for a celebrant for the most importnat day of yoru life then look no further than Andrew. He was incredible in every way, the ceremony was fun, relaxed and without him the day would not have been the same. He calmed me down and talked me through the entire time ensuring I was cool, calm and collected. I still cried like a baby. Without Andrew as my celebrant it would not have been so perfect, thanks for everything.

  • Andrew did an amazing job for us throughout the process, he blended charismatic and practical perfectly and delivered an intimate ceremony to people watching from around the globe, taking all the little quirks in his stride. I highly recommend and Thank you Andrew  Prue + Andrew - Andrew married us a couple of weeks ago and we couldn't have asked for a more personal and relaxed ceremony. My father-in-law, who is usually fairly traditional, commented afterwards that it was the best wedding ceremony he's ever witnessed and didn't realise they could be so fun!!! Thanks again andrew, you did a great job and we couldn't have asked for more. Prue and Andrew

  • Andrew was the perfect marriage celebrant for us, we would like to say thank you again for the perfect ceremony what he did for us, the flexibility, the kindness, and the way that he handled our wedding. If you want a marriage celebrant, who really cares about YOU and who wants to make your most important day of your life more than perfect, Andrew is the best choice. My husband is a really nervous type, and he said that Andrew was so nice and friendly and he took care of everything that my husband forgot everything and he just felt more confident than ever.

  • Our wedding day was amazing and it all started at the ceremony with Andrew making everyone feel at ease. He has a truly amazing gift, his ability to speak to family and friends, and to us as if he has known everyone for years was fantastic. Andrew took the time to get to know us and our family and the ceremony reflected us to a tee. We could not have hoped to have a better celebrant. If there was a rating 6 Andrew would get it. Thank you Andrew, you made our day.
