Andrea Harness (she,they)

I’m approachable, down to earth & a true romantic! As a “people person” it’s an absolute pleasure to connect with ALL people including my beloved LGBTTQIA+ Rainbow community.

I’m a Marriage and Funeral Celebrant and consider my key attributes as: genuine, warm, fun-loving, empathetic, creative, compassionate, innovative, inclusive, experienced & professional.

My role is about working closely with you, to develop a unique ceremony that truly reflects you (or your loved one). My ceremony experience means I can share helpful advice & really look after you throughout the process & on the day. My stage performance, public speaking & creative writing background combined with my project & event management skills, ensure you get a memorable ceremony that really compliments your vision.

Whether your ceremony is large or small, my organised way of working will help put you at ease, you’re in safe hands! Although based in Te Whanganui A Tara – Wellington, I’m flexible & happy to travel throughout NZ, so let’s chat. I’ve included some snippets below from some of the many references I’ve received. For more references (+ photo’s) please check my website: https://www.rainbowcelebrant.com/

Reference Snippets…

“Thank you so much for being such an important part of our day. Through this whole journey, you have been amazing. We wanted someone who would bring some fun, be understanding of our nerves and our desire to do things in our own way and most of all we wanted positive energy and good vibes. You brought it all. The ceremony you wrote us was completely perfect and we loved how much you loved our story. You are a beautiful bright light, and a wonderful celebrant.Kia kaha” (E & T Santer). 

“Many of our guests commented that it was the most beautiful and touching wedding they had ever attended.  Clare and I felt it was a true reflection of us as a couple, our families and friends. It contained just the right amount of sincerity, meaning, fun but most of all laughter” (C & K Lowe Van Leeuwen).                                                 

I really look forward to hearing from you X
