Andrew Bell - Celebrant & MC

Your inclusive Kiwi celebrant & MC. Fun, relaxed, and thoughtful ceremonies for celebrations of all shapes and sizes nationwide.

Proud member of the LGBT+ community ♥ Working alongside excited brides and grooms, is a truly rewarding and humbling experience. The thought and effort couples put into their wedding day is always incredible, and as your celebrant I am excited to help make the process of creating your ceremony as easy as possible. Born in Auckland and raised in Queenstown since the age of four, I'm about as local

as it gets for this transient tourist haven. Every aspect of Queenstown makes it a wondrous place to tie the knot; stunning scenery, great vendors, and exceptional service is standard.

If you are looking for someone intuitive and easy-going, with a knack for making people feel at ease, I know that I can help you to mold a ceremony and create a moment in your lives that you will never forget!

Daniel & Reece’s snowy mountain-top elopement in July 🏔️

Something I love so much about being a celebrant (especially when it comes to elopements) is being privy to the many emotions that a couple experience through out the course of their ceremony.

Words will always fail to truly capture love, but the little gestures and powerful emotions; the silent hand squeezes, the subtle glances, and the cheeky smiles. Those things say it all!

Can we all take a moment for Vita & Marco’s fabulously colourful floral setup?! 🌸🌼

Don’t get me wrong, I love and classic black and white vibe, but there’s something about a bit of colour that I’ll never be mad about…

My trusty ✨ signing folder ✨ (oooooh, aaaaaah!)

This thing has been to countless beautiful places that make the mind boggle… Mountain high, valley low, lakeside, or among the vines, this essential bit of my celebrant kit never fails to get the job done 📝

… Can you tell I’m running out of post ideas?!

“For a man that had only a brief time with us, Andy had a significant impact. He is a lovely man that wrote a beautiful and incredibly personal ceremony. We 100% recommend him to any potential brides and grooms!” - Alex & Sarah, December 2024 ✨

Just a few kind words from these two absolute beauties who travelled all the way from the UK to get married here in lil ol’ Aotearoa New Zealand!

This is also a wee reminder that one of best ways to thank any of your wedding vendors is to leave a review. Not only will it make their day, but a few kind words go a long way in helping us to continue doing what we love for a living 🍾

Now, I’m not so bold as to say that I can provide the cutest witnesses for your elopement, but also…

Robyn & Jacob eloped all the way from the USA back in April of this year, and because it was just the two of them, myself, and their wonderful photographer Brogan, they needed one more person to come along as a second witness!

Thankfully I’ve got a few rather experienced witnesses on call to help out (I’ve roped the hubby into a few now) and the adorable lil penguin was just an FOC added extra 🐧

The last wedding I officiated for a close friend this year was yet another very special one… Archie & Malin got married in Bali baby!

Yet another of my oldest and closest friends, Archie and I go all the way back to our primary school days. Ever since we were kids we’ve bonded over a love of the outdoors and wildlife, and many an afternoon were spent roaming the hills and exploring the willows on the shores of Lake Johnson where he lived.

He and Malin met several years ago now, and my husband and I just so happened to meet up with the both of them on Corfu just a week after they’d met!

Sharing in their beautiful adventure wedding in Bali along with their friends and family was truly unforgettable, and I can’t wait for our kids to grow up and be best buds (even if it might have to be pen pals for the first few years!)

Following on from my last post, this is the second wedding of some very close friends that I’ve had the pleasure of officiating for this year 🤍

Brooklyn & Jordan got married this past April, and as you can see they got an absolute stunner of a day for it!

Brooklyn and I go way back, and she was in fact one of my first girlfriends as a teenager (LOL!) Obviously that didn’t work out for a number of reasons, but boy am I thankful for this incredible woman in my life. She’s genuine, kind, and has a heart of gold!

I also happened to be there the day that she met her now husband, and from the very beginning it’s been clear that he matches her on every level when it comes to being a certified good sort ✨

It was so special to get these two married, and to dance the night away with them later on!

There’s a lot to love about this job of mine, but one the biggest highlights of being a celebrant has to be the fact that sometimes I get to officiate for the people closest to me. In this last year alone I’ve been lucky enough to see THREE of my very best friends get married to their significant others, and boy was it special!

The first of those weddings was none other than Caitlin & Aaron here in Queenstown in March 🏔️ I’ve known Caitlin since year 1 at Queenstown Primary School, and from those early days, our stint together in the local pipe band, and surviving through our (very) awkward teenage years, to seeing each other become the adults we are today, she’s been the most incredible, supportive, genuine friend anyone could hope for… Aaron, you’re a lucky man (don’t worry, I know she’s pretty lucky herself!)

Thanks for having me Mr & Mrs D***s 🤍

Cara & Jayden didn’t let a little rain dampen their spirits... If anything, it only made their elopement up Deer Park Heights all the more romantic.

Let this be a little reminder that you can’t change the weather, but you can choose how to handle it ☔️ And in the case of these two legends, that meant rolling with it and having an epic time anyway!!

Tanner & Johno’s windy elopement atop the Bayonets with Sunshine Weddings!

We took off in the rain, but it wasn’t gonna bring these two legends down. Thankfully we landed at a spot where the rain hadn’t reached, and although the wind was *briiisk* you could just tell that they were STOKED to get married 🎉

A quick second stop down by the Lochy River made for some peace and quiet amongst the beautiful native beech forest. The perfect place to let those newlywed feels sink in!
