About

In 2013, a close friend asked if I would officiate her wedding. I went through the steps to become ordained and was appointed as an officiant in the Commonwealth of Virginia that same year. In October 2014, I had the honor of performing my first custom wedding ceremony for her, and it was then that I truly understood the significance of being part of such a special occasion.

With experience officiating over 300 weddings, I specialize in secular, non-traditional ceremonies that celebrate love in all its forms. My goal is to create a heartfelt and inclusive experience for every couple.


In December 2024, I relocated to the Pittsburgh, PA area and am thrilled to bring my passion for creating meaningful ceremonies to couples here.

Go with the flow! SO fun!

I have been to wedding where Mandy was the officiant and I loved her style and how personal it was about the couple. I knew I wanted her as my officiant when the time came. Luckily, she was available! We wanted a short and sweet ceremony, but also personal. She provides a questionnaire to each partner and incorporates the responses in the ceremony. We received many compliments from family and friends on how the ceremony went and that is was not too formal. It was goofy and we had fun with the whole thing. Highly Recommend!

Perfect Officiant for our day

Extremely sweet and wonderful person to work with. Mandy made our wedding ceremony absolutely perfect and was a true confident standard amongst the crazy planning of a wedding. She was very flexible with our changes and truly made a costume, 1 of a kind ceremony four us. Highly recommend!!

Great Decision

We're so happy we found Mandy to officiate our wedding. She crafted a beautiful ceremony for us. Mandy made the ceremony personal to us and infused anecdotes that we had sent to her separately about our love story. Planning the ceremony with her was incredibly easy. She provided us with examples of things other couples had done before and really helped us figure out the best flow for us. In the end, we were sooo happy with our ceremony. People have been complimenting us on how great the ceremony was. Mandy is a wonderful speaker. She had a great balance of humor, joy, and seriousness. Hiring her made for an extremely beautiful and special start to our marriage.

Simply the best

One of the first decisions I was certain of when starting to wedding plan. I had heard Mandy's ceremonies a couple times before at friend's weddings and absolutely loved her ability to capture the couples personalities and love. There aren't enough stars available here to express how happy I was with our decision to have Mandy be a part of our special day. I was SO nervous about the ceremony and standing in front of so many people, but thanks to Mandy, the whole ceremony was emotional, funny and perfectly encapsulated our relationship. Would recommend Mandy over and over again!

Could not have asked for a better Officiant!

Mandy was great! She led the rehearsal making everything super easy and brought laughs with her too! She helped us pick vows that work for us. My husband and I answered a few questions separately so during the ceremony we get to hear each others answers through Mandy. She put together our stories so easily and so flawless. I could not have been happier with my ceremony and it's thanks to her!

Mandy was the best!!

I cannot imagine how our wedding would have gone without Mandy as our officiant! Mandy helped us outline what things we we wanted in our ceremony and even brought up things we hadn’t thought about. She listened to and answered all of our questions and was easily accessible. I really enjoyed the personal touch she put on our wedding and will recommend her to any and everyone I know getting married!

Mandy was the best! We were planning our wedding from out of town so we had phone calls with several officiants, and we knew we wanted Mandy as soon as we spoke to her! She went out of her way to get to know us so that she could put a personal spin on our service. We had some specific details we wanted included in our ceremony as well, and she was very flexible and accommodating. Additionally, she is very charismatic and our guests loved her too! We would highly recommend Mandy!

Mandy was so great to work with! She took the time and effort to get to know both of us individually so that she could create a compelling and emotional ceremony that we will never, ever forget. Thank you for making our special day that much better!

Mandy married my husband and I on 12/3 of this year. She was very easy to work with, personalized our ceremony beautifully and kept us reasonably calm :)

Mandy is a lovely personality to bring warmth, humor and a casual charm to your wedding ceremony. Gone are the days when you only have a stuffy guy who doesn't "get" your partnership. Mandy takes the time to really get to know you both and personalizes the ceremony perfectly. We love having an LGBTQ friendly officiant who makes the union about YOU.
