25.01.2022 What beautiful words from a beautiful couple! Steph and Sam were my last "big" wedding for the year, with one more simple ceremony tomorrow before I go on maternity leave. Thanks, you guys, for the kindness! You are wonderful. . @shot_by_sean . #wedbymandy #wedding #celebrantmelbourne #feedback #review #bride #groom

25.01.2022 Remember when we used to huddle together for a selfie? I used to do this at the end of each ceremony. Hugs, huddles, standing close are a thing of the past. We might need to adjust where we stand but the end result is the same - you are married!!!!! And we will all be smiling. . . . #wedbymandy #selfie #weddings #wedding #marriage #marriagecelebrant #celebrant #weddingcelebrant #celebrantmelbourne

24.01.2022 Johndalyn and Matthew were such fun to get married! From our first meeting where we laughed until their intimate wedding surrounded by family, they made me laugh and smile. And their fashion was on point! Check out the sparkly stiletto heels on the bride!! Congratulations you guys! . . . #wedbymandy #melbournecelebrant #celebrant #celebrantmelbourne #smallwedding #wedding

24.01.2022 A friend of mine told me last week that she loves my hair up and doesn't see it enough. I realised that many people probably never see what is hiding under that cute blonde bob. Yup, in order to keep that bob sleek and sitting nicely, my hairdresser literally shaves half my head which means that when I pull it up, I get this very cool, rocker look. My husband calls it my tough girl look. I could totally picture me putting it up for a fun Rockabilly wedding or a couple who likes a bit of an alternative look? Now you know what I'm hiding behind that very profesh look. Shhh, it can be our little secret. . . . #wedbymandy #hairstyles #shorthair #shorthairstyles #undercut #alternativewedding #bob #hair #blonde #rock #rocker #rockon #toughgirl #tough #girlstrong #cute

24.01.2022 I'm over half way through my maternity leave break and have really enjoyed my time in the newborn love bubble. It has gone so quickly!! Weddings are back on soon and am looking forward to getting back to marrying people! Until then, Xander and I will be here, just chillin. . . . #wedbymandy #maternityleave #baby #babyboy #sleepingbaby #love #weddingcelebrant #celebrantmelbourne

21.01.2022 Going through my photos from the last two weeks in Asia. Check out these love locks which lined the pathway to the Seoul Tower. So so many!! Very sweet that people want to mark their love in a public way like this. With multiple pathways filled with locks, thousands of couples have contributed. Very cute. . . #wedbymandy #travel #southkorea #korea #melbournecelebrant #celebrantdayoff #tourist #love #lovelocks

20.01.2022 Yasss Queen! Loving my newest accessory, bought for me as an early birthday present from my sister, another queen, when we went to the Tudor Portrait Exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery. Highly recommend if you are an English history buff like we are. . . #wedbymandy #celebrantdayoff #dayoff #roadtrip #bendigo #countryvictoria #bendigoartgallery #accessories #pin #queen #tudors #royal #fancy #birthday #birthdaygirl #birthdaypresent

19.01.2022 My tools of the trade. Getting ready for a winter wedding tomorrow. Also - how beautiful is the sparkly #swarovski pen that I got for my birthday from my gorgeous sister?? My weddings just got a whole bunch fancier!! . . . #wedbymandy #stationery #pen #wedding #sparkle #glitter #celebrant #celebrantmelbourne #melbournecelebrant #gettingready #toolsofthetrade #Disney #prepared #organization #work

19.01.2022 A couple of weeks ago, I did my last big wedding for the year and it was such a privilege to be able to stand next to Steph and Sam as they surprised their engagement party guests with a wedding instead! There were tears and laughter (once the surprise and shock wore off!) and they were so surrounded by love. It was gorgeous and perfect for these two. Congratulations, you guys!!!! . courtesy of @shot_by_sean (SR Photographer) . . #wedbymandy #weddings #surprise #surprisewedding #rusticwedding #winery #bride #groom #melbournecelebrant #celebrantmelbourne

18.01.2022 Christmas wedding at Disney!! My heart!!!! Love the bouquets especially - the little pinecones were a lovely wintery touch.

18.01.2022 May the Fourth be with you! PS - when oh when can I get a Star Wars wedding?? . . .... #maythe4thbewithyou #maytheforcebewithyou #maythefourthbewithyou #starwarsday #starwars #Disney #wedbymandy See more

18.01.2022 When the electricity goes out in the whole neighbourhood right before a couple comes to do their first wedding docs, you gotta break out the candles and turn it all a bit romantic... thank God it came back on by the time we were actually filling out the forms because I'm pretty sure I was about to burn the house down with all of the flames!!! Come darkness or light, the show must go on! . . . #blackout #candles #candlelight #romantic #wedbymandy #celebrant #weddingcelebrant #celebrantmelbourne #melbournecelebrant #showmustgoon

18.01.2022 Last weekend, it was cold and oh so windy but nothing was going to rain on this awesome wedding!! Steph, Ricky and I bonded immediately over cats, pop culture and our unashamedly mutual weirdness and I couldn't be more thrilled for them. Congratulations you guys!!!!! . . . .... #wedbymandy #melbournecelebrant #celebrantmelbourne #celebrant #wedding #farmwedding #outdoorwedding #windy #weddings #bride #groom See more

18.01.2022 Two weeks ago, I was lying on an operating table, waiting to meet my son. As always, my husband Wal was by my side and holding my hand, as he has been for nearly 25 years. Now the two of us has become three and we continue to share the load, each having 1:1 bonding time with the baby. We are well and home and I'm making the most of this quiet time with my boys. Thank you to my past and current couples who have sent me much love. To my future couples, I'm on mat leave at the moment but am still monitoring my emails and plan to be back in a few months which will hopefully coincide with when weddings can go back to normal anyway. Until then, stay safe and enjoy the little things. . . . #wedbymandy #newbaby #holdinghands #partner #newmom #newmum #newborn #maternityleave #thankful #littlethings #birth

17.01.2022 Surprise "thank you" flowers are the best! What a lovely start to the week. It was my pleasure to help a friend craft his dream ceremony in Italy and they sent me this sweet bunch of flowers from The Little Market Bunch to thank me. Unnecessary but appreciated!!! Congratulations, Todd and Phil!!! . . . #wedbymandy #thanks #thankful #flowers #posy #bunchesoflunches #flowerdelivery #Beautiful #saythanks #sayitwithflowers

16.01.2022 It is often assumed that a celebrant will stand between the couple. Before I became a celebrant, that's what I assumed too because I'd never seen it done any other way! But I actually prefer to stand off to the side for the majority of the ceremony, only coming in between to hold a microphone during vows. Why? So that you get great photos like this, without me in ALL of them and without your back to the crowd. This way, you can look at each other, see the faces of your sup...porters, hold hands, whatever feels right to you. And I'll still be there, right next to you but not between you. As it should be. . Thanks to @photoamanda.m for another beautiful photo . . #wedding #weddingcelebrant #wedbymandy #celebrant #celebrantmelbourne #weddingceremony #bride #groom #melbournecelebrant #twinkle See more

15.01.2022 Let me introduce you to the gorgeous Debbie from @daybydebbie. Deb is important to my couples because she the reason that I am a celebrant. I had never considered it before she convinced me to do the training with her as a fun, friend thing to do. Immediately, I was hooked and it became my passion. 50 weddings in and I am so grateful to have her as one of my closest friends but also as the one who opened this part of my life to me. If anyone needs a celebrant with the biggest heart imaginable, I couldn't recommend Deb more. She is a life changer, for sure. She has changed mine with her thoughts and deeds, you will be glad to have her in your life too. . . . #wedbymandy #yourdaybydebbie #communityovercompetition #friends #hugs #friendship #celebrant #melbournecelebrant #celebrantmelbourne

15.01.2022 Recently I had the privilege of marrying the gorgeous Stella and Ankit in an intimate ceremony at their home. Our day together was so beautiful, I can't imagine how lovely their destination wedding that followed would have been. I'm so pleased that I can share these photos now. Congratulations - Stella and Ankit! . . . #wedbymandy #smallwedding #backyardwedding #weddings #weddingday #elopement #bride #groom

15.01.2022 Be careful out there today, you might get some serious windswept hair!!! Not how I like to turn up to a ceremony!! . . . #wedbymandy #wind #hair #windswept #weather #rainyday

15.01.2022 A huge thank you to these beautiful people for their beautiful words. I'm the luckiest person ever to be able to help your day go the way that you want it to.

13.01.2022 Ah, winter weddings. Roger and Nooch really wanted to get married at the waterside but oh jeez it was cold and rainy! We waited for a break in the rain and headed out for a quick ceremony while the sun shone through the clouds. It worked out! Congratulations, you guys! . . #wedbymandy #winterwedding #windswept #melbournecelebrant #celebrantmelbourne #beachwedding #cold #winter

12.01.2022 I was a very sparkly fairy for Halloween. And yes, I can wear this to your wedding.

12.01.2022 What beautiful words from my last wedding of 2019! I was feeling hugely pregnant (although I've gotten way bigger since!) and tired when I arrived but these two gorgeous people lifted my spirits and I walked away from their wedding on air. Congratulations Cerise and Dan! Thank you for letting me share this special moment with you and for sharing my special time with me! . . . #wedbymandy #backyardwedding #celebrantmelbourne #feedback #review #wedding

11.01.2022 You want a celebrant who will really get invested in your ceremony? That's me! I was so excited about my couple who love Disney and Basketball that I themed my nails after them! In the past I have also done rainbow nails for gay weddings, blue and white nails for a Geelong fan and golden nails for a blingy wedding. I will literally wear your theme if I can!! . . . #nailart #nails #disneynails #basketball #wedbymandy #theme #celebrant #makeitawesome #weddingcelebrant #melbournecelebrant #celebrsntmelbourne

11.01.2022 Remember when I told you that you would love Jade's dress? Well - here it is!! A proper princess! I also loved making them personalised Disney vow cards, it is such fun when I can add that kind of detail. *sigh* - the last big wedding I'll be doing for a while in Victoria! Ken and Jade have shared some professional shots with me as well so you will be able to see their fantastic fairytale wedding fully - I can't wait to share it with you. ... #wedbymandy #werribeemansion #disneywedding #Disney #melbournecelebrant #celebrantmelbourne #fairytale #fairytalewedding #melbournewedding

11.01.2022 We have exciting news to share! We are having a baby!! Have you booked your wedding with me for next year? If not, better get to it quickly because I am not taking any more bookings until November 2020 to give me time to prepare for my whole life to be changed and then a few months then cuddle this little guy! I'll be back in action from November. Wish me luck!!... . . . #baby #babyannouncement #babyboy #newmom #maternity #wedbymandy #melbournecelebrant #celebrant See more

11.01.2022 I'm back, baby! Weddings in masks, weddings with no guests, standing away from the couple and not sharing pens. This is all a part of weddings in a pandemic but you know what? The outcome is still the same - happy, married people! And sometimes there is also a cat in a tux as a fun surprise! No matter the challenge, we'll always make it awesome. :) . . . #wedbymandy #weddings #weddingcelebrant #wedding #celebrantmelbourne #weddingmelbourne #smallwedding #backyardwedding #catsofinstagram #cat #cats #catinatux

10.01.2022 One of the truly awesome things about this gig is being asked to stand next to friends as they get married. I get to tell their story, legally join them in marriage, pronounce them married. It is sooo special and a privilege to be asked. Congratulations to these beautiful two who did just that - you are the best! . . #celebrantmelbourne #weddings #weddingcelebrant #wedbymandy #celebrant #melbournecelebrant #friends

08.01.2022 Hearing that I contributed to making your day great is the best part of this job. Congratulations, Suze and Grant!!

08.01.2022 Jade and Ken's wedding was a fairytale straight out of a Disney story. I nearly wore my Disney ears but you know... I'm too profesh...also, I couldn't find them :) loved loved loved this wedding for two amazing people. Wait until you see her dress!! Congrats you guys! I didn't get a great shot of it but the styling was also beautiful by @weddingsofdistinction. Made It truly magical! #weddings #wedbymandy #weddingcelebrant #mansion #disneywedding #classy #wedding #beautiful

08.01.2022 Covid rules dictate that I stand a decent way away from my couple and guests to keep everyone safe, even outdoors. So I just smile extra big to fill the gap . Congratulations, beautiful people! I'm so glad that we could finally get you married after so many delays this year!! . . #wedding #celebrantmelbourne #celebrant #backyardwedding #backupplan #marriage #finally #simpleceremony #wedbymandy

07.01.2022 On Thursday, I was extremely lucky to be able to get my first Pfizer vaccine shot. And even luckier to have it administered by my GP, ex AMA president Mukesh Haikerwal. And the moment was captured by The Age! Obviously, given my pulled back hair and general lockdown chic, I was not exactly camera ready but hey, at least I'll always remember my first Covid vaccine! And I'll be all protected for myself and my couples in the future. :) #wedbymandy #vaccine #covidvacccine #pfizer

07.01.2022 I've had some cute ring bearers but Frankie takes the cake! I love it when couples involves their fur family. Two weddings back and there has been dressed up animals at each of them!

03.01.2022 When I declared Sumit and Rajni married, balloons burst and we were showered in stars! Who said that small weddings at home can't be magical? It was certainly a surprise to me and made the paperwork look magical!!

03.01.2022 Last night I married these two awesome humans in a simple ceremony in front of a vocal and fun crowd of doctors and nurses from the Children's hospital, where KL works. They were certainly showered with love. I have a soft spot for the Children's ever since my nephew was admitted as a two week old and was so wonderfully looked after by the staff there, some of whom may have been in the room last night. Dean and Kay Louise are such a special couple and it was a night that I'...ll always remember. Congratulations you guys!!!

03.01.2022 I love how bright and beautiful Sharanjit looked when she married the also bright and handsome Lovepreet this week in a small ceremony at home.

02.01.2022 Remember when I said I was done with weddings until after the baby was born?? Well, what could I do when I got a call from Maira who was also pregnant and due the same day as me?? It felt like fate - I couldn't refuse to marry these gorgeous people before the baby came! So on Valentine's day, I had the absolute pleasure of joining Maira and Paul together in an intimate ceremony. Now THAT was a nice way to head off on maternity leave. Except that I stood next to Maira who ...is such a beautiful, Brazilian lady and looked just gorgeous even at 7 months pregnant where I felt like a little round grey mushroom... Thank you for the wonderful photo, @photoamanda.m ! . . . #wedding #celebrant #weddingcelebrant #melbournecelebrant #pregnant #pregnantbride #smallceremony #wedding #weddingday #valentinesday2020

01.01.2022 Remember those personalized #Disney and #basketball vow cards I made for Amy and Adam? I was so thrilled to see them captured by @immersephotographyaustralia during the ceremony. I will remember these guys forever, such a magical day. Can't stop smiling.
