Hello!

I am Andrea Purtell, Wedding Officiant, (Reverend, ULC) located at the Jersey Shore.

My company is For This Joyous Occasion Officiating Services and Seaside Ceremonies.

What an honor it is when a couple asks me to be part of one of the most important days of their lives.

I enjoy all the aspects of officiating a ceremony. From meeting the happy couple and hearing how they met (their love story), to researching and writing the ceremony, then performing the ceremony, it’s all such a happy, joyful experience.
