In this episode of Wedding Mayhem, we sit down with Amanda of Amanda’s Beautiful Ceremonies, whose journey into the wedding industry began in the most unexpected and emotional way. After spending over three decades as a teacher, Amanda never imagined she’d be standing at the heart of wedding ceremonies. But one deeply personal loss, and one unforgettable funeral, planted the seed for a completely new calling.
Amanda opens up about the moment she first encountered a celebrant and realised the power of ceremony done properly not scripted, not rushed, but deeply human. From navigating grief to finding purpose, she shares how that experience reshaped her view of weddings, people, and connection. We talk about the reality of starting again later in life, the risks involved, and the moments that made her think, “I have to do this.”
Along the way, we dive into the world of celebrant-led weddings what they really are, why couples are craving more personal ceremonies, and why the celebrant-registrar debate still sparks controversy. From pirate weddings to deeply emotional vows, this episode is a powerful reminder that weddings aren’t about ticking boxes they’re about meaning, memory, and moments that last a lifetime!
