Andrew Bell, Queenstown Celebrant

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!

Some kind words from these legends ✨ Jess & Em ✨

“We had the most incredible wedding day with a big part of that being down to you! We were blown away with how thoughtful and lovely your ceremony was, and how special it felt. We both couldn’t believe how much you captured our personalities and story and made us both feel so at ease. The whole process working with you was easy, stress free and felt so very personal. We also really appreciated how much of a calm and friendly presence you bought to the whole day, with us, and our whanau, so thank you!”

Such a privilege to share the mountaintop with this gorgeous whanau!

Because it’s been a while (and because I wanted to share this picture of me holding some pretty flowers) I figured I’d re-introduce myself 👋

If you’re new here (or it’s been a while), welcome.

I’m Andy - a young Kiwi celebrant who’s been lucky enough to help people get married in one of the most beautiful places in the world for the past nine years (yikes!) I’ve called Queenstown home since I was four years old, and I still don’t think there’s a better place to say “I do.”

A few things about me...

• I’ve been married to my husband, Pol, since 2018 after we met at a bus stop over 15 years ago.
• Together we’re doting dads to our 3yo daughter.
• And pet parents of Molly, Mylo and Travis, who definitely run the house.
• I’m a theatre performer (mainly musicals) whenever I get the chance.
• Coffee enthusiast and co-founder of a local coffee roastery
• Hiker, traveller, gardener and gaymer... And yes, I really did spend my first few years growing up in a Zoo.

Public speaking was never something I imagined I’d do for a living. It turns out it’s a lot easier when it’s about someone else’s story, not your own.

For me, the best ceremonies don’t feel like performances. They feel relaxed, personal and true to the couple standing in front of me. My role is to guide things, tell your story, celebrate you, and make sure everyone - especially the two of you - feels comfortable. Also always happy to hold you bouquet for you…

If you’re planning a wedding and think we’d be a good fit, I’d love to have a chat.

Thanks for being here.

Cheers to for the pic 📸

Becca & Kevin ✨ the perfect example of a couple who are simply made for each other!

Honestly, these two are the perfect match. Proven by the fact that not only did Becca surprise Kevin with a pack of Pokémon cards for each of them to open during their vows, but later in their wedding day Kevin had the exact same idea.

Four Pokémon packs later, and it’s safe to say that for Becca & Kevin the greatest catch of all - the shiniest of shinies - was each other!

Feeling the love with the suitably lovely Kewalee & Luca!

This quite perfectly captures how it feels to essentially take on being a professional ‘third wheel’ for a living, haha.

There are definitely more pics from these two to come, because holy wowzers did they get some glorious photos on that there mountain!

Mountaintop ceremony moments with the gorgeous Savannah & Owen who eloped all the way from Wisconsin!

Such a pleasure to share in their gorgeous evening elopement atop Coromandel Peak. All perfectly captured by the dynamic duo over at .co ✨

Alan & Tamara’s dreamy sunset elopement last October.

What you can’t see from the photos is that as well as that fluffy white stuff still on the mountains, there was also a cool evening breeze to make us all feel that little more alive!

Despite feeling a little fresh though, these two beauties rocked every minute on that mountaintop and their love was radiant ✨

Reminiscing on Caleb & Crystals adventure wedding back in January…

After some stubborn low hanging cloud thwarted our plans to hike right into The Doolans, we instead trekked our way up to this perfect little spot overlooking Lake Alta.

There, surrounded by their closest friends, they had the most beautiful, intimate, and heartfelt ceremony you can imagine. Seriously, there wasn’t a dry eye on that mountain!

This was such a fun, wholesome day. All captured by the immensely talented whose great banter was also much appreciated on the hike in and out. Let do this again some time??

May means things are beginning to slow down a little weddings wise, so it’s high time I began sharing some love from all of my incredible couples from this past few months.

Kickin’ things off with these two stunners, Kennedy & Olivia!

They said ‘I do’ at the Skippers Lookout up Coronet Peak back in November, and despite the rain hanging around they didn’t let it dampen their day.

Honestly, two of the most kind and genuine individuals I’ve ever met. Deserving of a lifetime of happiness!!
