Hello and thank you for taking the time to read about me.. let me introduce myself.

I am Mandy Payne and I am a professionally trained, independent celebrant who lives and breathes all things 'Weddings'. I used to have a mobile bar and travelled all over for weddings, so I've been in around weddings for a number of years.

I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire with my husband John and our Sprocker Harley.

I'm a 'people-person' at heart and nothing makes me happier than meeting people, especially couples like you :)

I love hearing about your 'love story' and about your lives together so far and your hopes and dreams for the big day. Helping turn this into a unique and personalised ceremony that makes forever memories for you... as well as your family and friends means the world to me.

Some people talk about job satisfaction but, the smiles and the laughter during the ceremony, together with the "thank-you's" and the "that was the best wedding I've been to" moments are the icing on the cake for me but, it ultimately means that you've had THE most fantastic ceremony that'll you'll remember forever.

My mission is to help you to create ''Your Ceremony, Your Way'. The beauty of having a celebrant-led cremony means that you can have exactly that... Your way!

Drop me a message and lets have a chat about the possibilities open to you, as well as where to go from here.

Working together you can guarantee a perfect wedding ceremony to start you married life together

Here's an email I received following a wedding ceremony that I'm so proud to share;

Hello Mandy

Just wanted to thank you so much for the service you performed yesterday for our daughter Jessica and son in law Adie
We hadn’t any experience of celebrants at all and as you know Jess came to you as the registrar was unable to fit them in on yesterdays date. I remember them meeting you for the first time and them feeling at ease with you and then after their final meeting a week or so before the wedding they loved what you had put together for them and after yesterday we can certainly see why.
The service was so personalised to them both, with the best mix of humour but also recognising the importance of what they were undertaking.
We had so many comments from people about the content of the service with many saying it was the best civil service they had been to.
So once again from a very happy mother and father of the bride thank you!
Kevin & Jane Pearce
