Hello and thank you for reading about me.. let me introduce myself.

I am Mandy Payne and I am a Professionally trained Independant Celebrant who lives and breathes all things 'Wedding'. I live in Chesterfield, Derbyshire but I do travel in the course of my work.

I love nothing more than meeting couples, hearing about their 'love story', about their hopes and wishes for their big day and then translating this into a Ceremony of their dreams.

Many couples focus initially on the venue, the dress, the photos etc but they don't always realise how important the ceremony itself is - that's where I come in!

The ceremony, and they words that are spoken in front of invited family and friends marks the absolute beginning of a couple's married life and sends them on their journey together. Some might even say it's the most important part of a Wedding. In time, a dress or a wedding breakfast may be forgotten but the one memory that will remain strong is the ceremony and the vows that are spoken. Surely that means it has to be right?!

Personalised, unique and heartfelt Wedding Ceremonies are what I am about. Working with you from the start to get to know you both so I can reflect that in the script that I write about you. It's your story... let's tell it to the best of our ability.

My motto is 'Your Ceremony, Your Way' and that's something I'm deeply passionate about creating.

Basically, if you can imagine it, I can deliver it!
