Andrea Smith, Wedding Officiant Serving Stoney Creek, Hamilton and surrounding areas

​​​​​​

I am a wedding officiant, a wedding planner, a mom of two, and someone who is genuinely passionate about love, connection, and creating beautiful memories.
I grew up in Niagara and currently live in Stoney Creek, Hamilton.

I am also very social. No awkward silence enters the chat when I am around. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, making people laugh, and making sure everyone feels comfortable. I am the person who will probably know your love story, your childhood pet's name, and what you are having for dinner by the end of our first conversation.

And if you really want to get to know me, here are a few fun facts: I am Italian and Scottish, so I like to think that means I am genetically predisposed to being a good time. I love Pilates, meditation, a fabulous glass of wine with friends, spending time with my family, and finding the little moments of beauty in everyday life. I have two young kids who keep me laughing, out-of-breath and very humbled. And my lifelong dream? To own a tiny pig. Yes, an actual tiny pig. I am still waiting for the city to allow it.

But when it comes to your wedding ceremony, I am serious about one thing: it should feel like you. 
It is easy to forget that the ceremony is the reason everyone has gathered in the first place. It is the moment you make your promises, share your love story, and officially become married. It deserves just as much thought, personality, and intention as every other part of your wedding day.

My approach is simple: there is no “supposed to.” Your ceremony does not have to follow a traditional script or look like anyone else’s. Whether you want something romantic and heartfelt, lighthearted and fun, modern and simple, or completely unique, I will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects who you are as a couple. I embrace it. 

My experience as a wedding planner is an added bonus. I understand the wedding day from start to finish, and I know how emotionally charged and high-stress it can sometimes feel. After years of navigating timelines, last-minute changes, big emotions, and all the little details that come with weddings, I have learned how to bring the calm. On your wedding day, I want you to feel present, comfortable, and able to soak in the moment rather than worry about what comes next.

I try to bring positivity, warmth, humour, and a genuine sense of joy into everything I do. Because for me, this is not just about officiating a ceremony. It is about creating a moment that feels authentic to you, and one you will remember for the rest of your lives.

And one little warning: once we are connected, we are friends, like forever. I do not make the rules. 

Your love story is unique. Your ceremony should be too. Let's create something beautiful together.
