Married By Mandi
Hi, I’m Mandi and I am not your “run of the mill” marriage celebrant! Weddings mean so much more to me than the traditional “lawful wedded husband/wife hoo-hah” because the beauty in a wedding is about celebrating your journey of life and love – and that’s never going to be the same from one couple to the next.
I am an adventure-seeker, animal-lover and travel enthusiast who would love nothing more than the honour of helping you to co-create your unique, fun and memorable wedding ceremony.
