CREATIVE FUN AND RELAXED CELEBRANT
UNIque ceremonies you will cherish
Hey, everyone! I’m Mandi, a marriage celebrant many years of experience in creating personalised wedding ceremonies. I’m known for my fun, light-hearted, and engaging approach to weddings, and I’m passionate about helping couples create their dream ceremony.
I am fascinated by weddings and the magic of love that surrounds them. After working as a wedding planner for several years, I realized that my true passion was in creating meaningful ceremonies that reflect the couple’s personalities and values.
But don’t worry, my ceremonies aren’t stuffy or boring! I love to infuse humour, laughter, and fun into each ceremony, making it engaging and enjoyable for everyone. My goal is to put you and your guests at ease, ensuring that everyone feels a part of the celebration.
I believe that every couple is special and that their wedding ceremony should reflect their uniqueness. That’s why I take the time to get to know each couple, their love story, and their vision for their ceremony. I work closely with them to create a ceremony that is tailored to their personalities, beliefs, and values.
In summary, I’m Mandi, a marriage celebrant who is passionate about creating personalised, light-hearted, and engaging wedding ceremonies. If you’re looking for a celebrant who will work closely with you to create a ceremony that reflects your uniqueness and personality, then look no further!


Hi! I’m Mandi
I’m originally from the UK, lived in NZ for 8 years (and still a huge All Blacks fan!) before coming over and finally, becoming an Australian citizen. I’m still very British though, people say my accent belies my origins. I say “What accent?”
I officiated at my first wedding in 2006 and since then, have been a celebrant at over 500 or so weddings (who’s counting?) been the MC at many events, and have welcomed about 200 babies at naming ceremonies.
Outside of being a marriage celebrant, I enjoy travelling (and I am also a travel agent), watching sports (especially as I am a die-hard All-Blacks fan) and spending time with friends and family.
It's Never Too Early To Start!

Happy Clients

“When we were looking for a marriage celebrant, we knew we needed the right fit for us. After doing the normal research and recommendations, we still weren’t sure until we went to a friends wedding in QLD and Mandi was the celebrant. We instantly knew she was the right person for us.
Our wedding was in Melbourne and that wasn’t an issue for Mandi, nor was anything else. Mandi not only helped us with our wedding vows around our needs with many suggestions and ideas, but also helped with the whole wedding, navigating weather issues, organising family and friends and ensuring our wedding was everything we wanted. Mandi went beyond just being a marriage celebrant to being a part of our wedding and we don’t know what we would have done without her.
Mandi is not only an expert in her industry, but so professional and with an easy going personality. We would recommend Mandi highly for your wedding. “Carole and David”
