Celebrate Love!

I'm Andrea Thomas, a native Californian, part-time Maui and Palm Springs resident and ordained wedding minister since 1985. I offer a beautifully-written, non-denominational wedding ceremony. I lived on Maui for almost 25 years and during the time I was a licensed wedding minister there, I conducted over 1000 weddings and vow renewal ceremonies.

My style is easy, sincere and natural, with a sense of play that ads a personal touch to your wedding or vow renewal. I am a flexible, non-denominational minister who can perform any kind of wedding ceremony in any wedding location in and around this amazing coast line: Carmel-by-the Sea, San Simeon, Avila Beach, Morro Bay or right here at beautiful Pismo Beach!

I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else! Andrea made us both feel at ease and is such a kind spirit.

I really appreciate the time Andrea took to explain everything to me. Wonderful service!
