Surprise weddings are a unique and memorable way t

Surprise weddings are a unique and memorable way to get married. They add an element of surprise and excitement that traditional weddings may lack. The surprise element can make the wedding even more special and memorable for the couple and their guests.

Planning a traditional wedding can be stressful and time-consuming. Surprise weddings, on the other hand, are often less stressful to plan as they tend to be more low-key and intimate. This can allow the couple to focus more on the joy of the moment and less on the details of the wedding.

What Does a Celebrant Do? The role of a celebrant

What Does a Celebrant Do?

The role of a celebrant can vary depending on the type of ceremony they are conducting, but their main objective is to create a personalized and meaningful ceremony that reflects the beliefs and values of the couple or family.

For weddings, celebrants work closely with the couple to create a ceremony that reflects their love story and unique personalities. This may involve incorporating special readings, music, or traditions that hold personal significance to the couple. Celebrants also help the couple to write their own vows, which can add a deeply personal and heartfelt touch to the ceremony.

What is a Celebrant?

A celebrant is a professional who creates and conducts ceremonies for significant life events such as weddings, vow renewals, funerals, and baby namings. Celebrants work with individuals and families to design and deliver ceremonies that are tailored to their specific needs and preferences.

Unlike traditional religious ceremonies, celebrants do not have a specific faith or belief system. Instead, they are trained to be inclusive and respectful of all beliefs and backgrounds, and to create ceremonies that reflect the individuality of the couple or family.

Get to know me 🥰

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.

I am motivated by the unique stories of all my couples and am a conduit in creating joyful, heartfelt ceremonies that reflect the quirky, funny and profound moments that have made your journey.
