Are you planning to get Married or Renew your Vows?

Congratulations! 🥂

‘I can marry you.’

As a Humanists UK Wedding Celebrant, I specialise in personalised Legal and Non Legal Marriage, Elopement, Micro, Commitment and Vow Renewal Ceremonies in Northern Ireland.

I am animal lover, gardener and occasional film extra. I worked in Banking for many years, I have an eye for detail along with excellent presentation, planning and organisational skills. I am artistic and creative these are useful attributes for a Wedding Celebrant. 

During my Banking career I managed valuable assets for clients investing for their future. As your Wedding Celebrant, I will invest in your future by guiding your journey to those two priceless words: ‘I Do!’

I will collaborate with you supporting and getting to know both of you, advising on statutory requirements, capturing your unique story, conducting your bespoke Marriage Ceremony and pronouncing you: ‘Married!’

You choose the day and location: I can marry you anytime or any day of the week, because I am licensed you are not tied to a venue. If you are dreaming of an intimate Sunrise Elopement on the beach, a Candlelit Ceremony in your garden at midnight or an established Wedding venue the choice is yours; you are in control with freedom to have the ceremony you want, the way you want it and when you want it.Together we will design your Ceremony making it as personal, unique and individual as you both are, your Vows can be traditional or words of your own choice. You may like to include a ring warming or hand fasting, I will help you with these and other options.

Your marriage registers your commitment to each other; my commitment to you is to provide an exceptional service, capturing the sparkle of your lives together. As your Celebrant it is my responsibility to ensure that you and your guests have a wonderful day; allowing you both to relax and enjoy your Wedding Day, knowing your legal nuptials will be safe in my capable hands and helping you create those cherished life long memories.

Vow Renewal Ceremonies are a very special time to bring family and friends together to celebrate as you reaffirm your love and commitment for each other. These ceremonies are also created to your wishes, however no surprises here; you know how this ends up you’re…

‘Still Married!

Comments on my style: Unique, Warm, Fun, Relaxed, Thoughtful, Captivating and Engaging.

Mandie was wonderful. She met my wife and I at home to discuss our wedding plans. She then very skillfully recreated our story, which we discussed and fine-tuned to suit our preference. Mandie also had some great ideas regarding the ceremony and other parts of our wedding day. Overall, she made our day so special and unique.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mandie for your own truly bespoke occasion.

Mandy was an absolute pleasure to work with when planning our wedding. She was very professional and courteous, and gave us time and space to consider our needs. She made suggestions, but never pushed any of her own thoughts on us, but instead let us take the time to consider all our options. She was very patient with us as we chopped and changed our plans and helped us create our own bespoke ceremony, which we were very pleased with. Mandy went out of her way to accommodate us and we valued her knowledge, expertise and professionalism. On the day she was excellent at making the children in particular feel they were special, so much so, the children performed their allocated duties superbly.

We have no hesitation in full heartedly recommending Mandy to others considering a Humanist ceremony. Like us, we are sure you will not be disappointed in the excellent service she provides.

Mandie was brilliant, she weaved my fiance (now husband's) and I's story together beautifully for our wedding ceremony. Our communication with Mandie was excellent from the initial enquiry stage right up to the wedding day. She went above and beyond and truly made our wedding day special, she added that personal touch we were looking for."
