I believe ceremonies are a powerful conduit for connecting people with each other in a meaningful way. I create & conduct unique, impactful, memorable ceremonies that truly reflect you. *See below for list of ceremonies

I’ll draw on my experience to guide you with ideas that compliment your vision and any plans you may have. If you’re unsure what to incorporate or where to start, options will be

discussed and together we’ll work out what resonates with you. I own a wide range of costumes & as ‘The Rainbow Celebrant’ I also have full rainbow regalia! Of course I also wear the contemporary fashion of today. The clothing aspect is always about what you want to have happen & I’m open and glad to accommodate your wishes around dress-code. You’re in safe hands. As a validated member of Celebrants Aotearoa (CANZ), I’m bound by professional ethics and standards and am covered by Indemnity Insurance (which is required at some venues). Ceremonies/Services I offer include:
 Marriages & Elopements: Personalised, Registry or Civil Union
 Vow Renewals
 Funerals
 Memorials/ Commemorations
 Consulting help for Funerals/Memorials
 LGBTIQ+ Ceremonies/Celebrations
 Pet Farewells
 Anniversaries
 Birthdays
 Baby Name Giving
 House/Space Cleansing Rituals
 Compere (MC)
 Milestones: Gaining a Qualification, 1st Home, Going Overseas…etc

I'm lucky to have references/testimonials from very happy clients & I'd be pleased to share these with you when you contact me.

Yesterday was 'Celebrants Day'! 😁 I was proud to celebrate it by being in the Te Whanganui A Tara Hīkoi for Toitu Te Tiriti. A huge turnout of 45k+ people, together for Te Tiriti!!! ❤🌈

Let's do this! Xx

We all want Aotearoa New Zealand to be a place where everyone can thrive. Certainly a place where survivors of abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions can thrive. We know that what has happened to the estimated 250,000 vulnerable adults, children, and babies is a “national ...

How empowering, educational and necessary this is for our tamariki to be inspired by creativity. Let's sign this petition to keep this going Xx

Creatives in Schools (CiS) was an arts programme that ran from 2019 to 2024. It funded schools and kura to partner with professional artists and creative practitioners to share specialist artistic knowledge and creative practice with ākonga and students. The programme enabled tamariki and ran...

Can you spot the problem?

This is a common mistake I often see with invitations. Both the couple and myself know the ceremony is booked to start at 10am. However, many guests will assume they need to arrive at 10am. This is awkward and potentially disruptive and guests get annoyed at missing the beginning of the ceremony. I recommend stating something like "Ceremony starts promptly at (time) please be seated 30 mins ahead of this."

This is so important for the future wellbeing of our entire society in Aotearoa Xx

Te Tiriti o Waitangi gives us a strong foundation to build a thriving, just future for all.

Ha-ha! Finally famous! (in m'own lunchtime that is)...

Whitemans Valley provided an awesome backdrop to the main event of this beautiful, fun couple getting hitched! They've given this wonderful reference:
Andi was an absolute delight to work with and made our wedding preparations so much fun. The comfort of having another colourfully rainbow person being part of our celebration made all the difference. Andi is bubbly, bright and oodles of fun with a terrific fashion sense and we can't recommend them enough!

This beautifully written book (illustrated by my gorgeous friend Marg Tolland) gently opens the door for conversations with children about death & dying, woven into Matariki.

Recently I had a couple who had mislaid their rings, just before the marriage ceremony was about to begin...fortunately I've a stock of adjustable rings 💍with me, YAY! it's all about contingency!😁🌈

It was fantastic working with Tash+Greg! 😊They're a down to earth couple with a great sense of humour & decided their opening music would start with a few bars from "JAWS" theme haha!🤣All set against the lovely backdrop of Aston Norwood (Kaitoke). They were kind enough to provide me with this awesome reference:
"Greg and I were so lucky to have had Andi Harness officiate our wedding ceremony. From our very first meeting we felt instantly at ease and had no hesitation in knowing our ceremony would be exactly how we imagined and it was and more so.
Andi shared her knowledge and understanding and gave so much time in getting to know exactly who we are that our ceremony was just perfect and so personalised that our guests wondered if we had known Andi for years.
Not to mention how quick to problem solve Andi was, with the few unforeseen kinks we did have.
Thank you for making our day so amazing we would recommend Andi in a heartbeat." 💖
