Meet Andrea

With over 10 years of experience in the events industry and a Bachelor of Business and Event Management, I bring energy, creativity, and strategic thinking to every event I design.

I’ve had the privilege of working across a wide variety of events—from 4-day motorbike rides and intimate long luncheons to large-scale galas with 600+ guests, as well as music festivals, weddings expos, and corporate conferences.

Each one has sharpened my skills and deepened my love for creating memorable, meaningful experiences.

These days, my passion lies in helping business owners deliver exceptional retreats that elevate their brand, engage their audience, and create lasting impact.

“Andrea,

This retreat would have never left the group chat if it weren’t for you. Thank you for your dedication, eye for detail + making the experience 10/10 for our members.”

I Help Business Coaches

Reclaim Their Time

Planning a retreat can take 200+ hours of coordination, logistics, and back-and-forth with suppliers. I handle every detail—from timelines and travel to venue and vendor management—so you can stay focused on what you do best: showing up and serving your clients.

Boost Client Retention + Attraction

A professionally planned retreat doesn’t just feel luxe—it builds trust, loyalty, and community. With the right experience in place, your current clients stay longer, and your future clients can’t wait to sign up. My retreats are designed to amplify your brand and grow your business.

Protect Their Energy

Running a retreat is physically and emotionally demanding. Too often, business owners try to do it all and end up burnt out before the event even begins. I’m here to take the weight off your shoulders, so you can show up energised, present, and fully in your zone of genius.

WHY Retreats Are the Secret Weapon of a High-Performing Coaching Business…

Black circle with white text that says 'Build Unshakable Client Loyalty'.

Nothing creates deeper trust and connection than in-person time with you. Retreats help clients feel seen, supported & locked in for the long haul.

Black circle with white text that reads "Skyrocket conversions without the hard sell."

The energy of a live event is unmatched. Clients gain clarity, confidence, and commitment — often upgrading or re-signing on the spot.

In an online world where connections are made through screens, in-person events and retreats are the most powerful tools for deepening relationships, building loyalty, and creating transformation. They’re not just a “nice-to-have” — they’re a strategic pillar in a high-converting coaching business.

Zoom fatigue is real. Offering real-world, high-touch experiences sets you apart and positions you as a premium, go-to coach.

Text inside a black circle reads, "Turn clients into raving fans."

Happy retreat attendees talk. Their testimonials, stories, and referrals become powerful, organic marketing that fuels your next launch.

    Don’t you love it when a plan comes together! That’s what Real Resilience was - a plan in my head. I had no idea how to make it a reality in the form of an event. Luckily, I found Andrea Cross Events. Andrea saw my vision from the get go.

    She worked her event management magic to transform a loose concept into a night worth remembering. Real Resilience was more than I could have ever hoped for. Meticulously organised with everything included, all I had to do was get up the courage to share my story.

    A beautiful community event that has inspired me to continue advocating for mental health awareness. Bravo, Andrea

    After doing my first ever “Ride for Crossy”, you can guarantee I’ll be back!

    The whole event was extremely well organised from registration to the last goodbye. Venues, accommodation and routes were spot on. One of the best rides with some of the nicest people I’ve met.

    Can’t wait for next year.

    Thanks to Andrea my florist shop's opening was a resounding success.

    I am incredibly grateful for the support provided by Andrea in helping me launch my florist shop.

    Andrea also designed beautiful invitations, crafted a compelling business proposal that attracted sponsors, and created a stunning event tablescape for my opening.

    I highly recommend Andrea for their top-notch event planning!

    Andi walks her talk, she’s transparent and vulnerable and has walked through the ashes to be the amazing leader and event planner she is today. Watching her deliver and create amazing events with confidence and passion is inspiring in itself.

    Hearing inspirational stories of women who are just like you & killing it in business and in life motivated me. I left the event feeling confident and like I was ready to kick all of my goals.

    Thank you for bringing this to life for the women of my community.

    I have watched Andrea blossom into an incredible event manager over the 9+ years I have known her, and I can safely say your event is in safe hands with Andy. I was lucky enough to join the 2022 Ride for Crossy in person and to watch Andrea in action was incredible. Her attention to detail and passion for what she does is second to none. She makes every event she touches special and memorable for everyone who attends.

    I run a Manufacturing business that relies heavily on social media for sales and growth. You can see the passion and attention to detail in everything Andrea does, her social media work, marketing, and event planning always feels personalised and thoughtful.

    From participating in events, to being a sponsor, Andrea’s events have always exceeded expectation.

    G’Day Andy,

    Gotta thank you for giving us a truly awesome ride this year. As this was my third Ride for Crossy, I now have a lot of friends compared to the first ride where I did I not know anyone.

    This is a great break from the repetition for work and local rides over familiar rides on Sundays that’s for sure.

    Hope to catch you on the track sometime and make the most of life as usual.

    Regards and thank you again

    Willy (RIP) ❤️

    I had the pleasure of working with Andrea as a keynote speaker of Show Me Your Cool and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience.

    From the very beginning, Andrea demonstrated exceptional professionalism and organisation. Her openness and ease of communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

    Andrea was always incredibly friendly and approachable, willing to listen to my ideas and provide valuable insights. She ensured every detail was taken care of, allowing me to focus solely on delivering my presentation.

    The audience was engaged and enthusiastic, which I attribute to the thorough planning and execution by Andrea.

    Overall, working with Andrea was an absolute delight, and I look forward to any future opportunities to collaborate with such a dedicated and talented event coordinator.

🚨 Do you want your clients to achieve results like THIS? 🚨 After attending the last 4-day Bali Retreat I worked on for my Business Coaches, a client of theirs had this incredible transformation: 👉 $17,700.94 collected this month so far 👉 $26,66
Making events smooth for the attendees is a TOP priority for ax events Over the years I have gone from ➡️ website registrations to manual invoicing ➡️ to website automated packages ➡️ now to CRM packages with registration and invoicing instantly
Now imagine a multi-day retreat… You want an expert who’s done this before -who knows how to navigate these challenges and tackle anything that comes up When things go sideways, we problem-solve We stay calm. We’ve seen it all
A lot of my clients just don’t know where to start with transforming their vision to reality And that’s fair… I get it, the start is the HARDEST But that’s like anything in life, right? But you don’t have to star
