My husband and I had reached out to Andrew before the pandemic to officiate our wedding that was supposed to be in May 2020. He was super quick to respond and very helpful. We met in person at a coffee shop and got to know him a little better a...
nd he showed us examples of how he would officiate our ceremony. Our wedding ended up being postponed twice due to covid and he was patient and understanding both times. We were finally able to get married May this year and he did a wonderful job officiating. The ceremony couldn’t have been more perfect. We were able to pick and choose what we wanted him to say and tailor it to fit our style for the ceremony. Andrew made things easy and smooth for us. We highly recommend him!

My husband and I got married last Dec 2019 at SF City Hall. Similar to the experiences of other couples, prior our wedding day, instead of just speaking to us via email and throwing us a wedding script, he made time to meet us, took time to run...
through and explain each part of the ceremony, and gave us the flexibility to choose parts we want/didn't want, which made our day more meaningful. Not once did I feel like we were just another client to him, that everything is just another transaction. I unfortunately didn't get to hire a wedding coordinator and was (secretly) stressing out on a particular vendor present during the ceremony, so I was surprised to see Andrew speaking to them, explaining the flow of the ceremony. He didn't have to do that (and I didn't ask him to) but I genuinely appreciate that he did because it was one less thing for this bridezilla to think about and coordinate on the day of our wedding. :-) Thank you, Andrew! You are amazing! - Hennessy & Kyra Portem

nt, and provided us with a lot of great options and ideas for the ceremony that we weren't even aware of before. He was also a delight to work with throughout the process. He initially arranged a meeting to take us through his approach, ceremony options, and to get to know each other. Then we sent him our requests for items we wanted to include or take out of the ceremony, which he incorporated. On the day itself, he showed up on time, was very professional, and officiated the ceremony in a way that was very touching to our guests. We really appreciated how smooth and stress-free it was to work with him, because when we were planning our wedding there were so many other things we had to worry about instead!
Response from the Vendor on 11/30/2018

lot resources and experience to the table, I never want to impose my ideas of a wedding ceremony on the couple, I want it to be a three-way collaboration so it is unique and personal to you as a couple.

itially called Andrew, we were relieved that he was a normal guy who just wanted to make our wedding perfect for us. He provided us with a sample script and provided us with resources to write our own vows. We ended up revising the sample script with bits and pieces from other samples we found. He was professional, genuine, affordable, easy to work with, quick to respond, and showed up on time. Not much more we could've asked for in our officiant. He also sent in our licence for us and provided us with the tracking number for it after the wedding. We'd definitely recommend Andrew!
