Officiant

FOR THIS JOYOUS OCCASION

Andrea Purtell enjoys 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. She is drawn to this work for a few reasons. First of all, let’s face it, it’s a happy job! People are happy and in love. They are filled with the excitement of starting a new chapter in their lives, and she gets to be a part of it! It is the ultimate, feel good job. The words she gets to say during a ceremony are beautiful.


Florals

Flowers from the Farm

Dana is a flower farmer/florist located in Monmouth County that adheres to organic growing practices.  It was her passion to have a career that gave back to the earth and in 2014, Flowers From the Farm, NJ was born.  Now 5 years later while still a micro batch farm (growing small batches in many varieties) she sources florals and foliage from the field to add a unique touch to weddings and events. Her design technique is artistic in nature, utilizing texture and seasonal components to give each piece depth and unique qualities.  Growing flowers is her passion and floral design is her art.
