I take you to be my princess forever … On this day, at this moment, I pledge the rest of my life to you.

I promise to be the best wife I can be. You are my love, my happiness and my life.

 It’s official – I love, love, love Indian weddings! The colours, the cheering, the pride, the love that can exist between friends and families, it is all so heart warming. It is evident that community-vibe of such weddings in no way changes the love that two people share – it only enhances it.

Sharmila and Vivek were troopers! They had a traditional cultural service in the morning (meaning the girls had a pre-5am wake up call, oh my!) and they partied the night away after their civil ceremony which I was truly honoured to be part of. Sharmila looked absolutely stunning and Vivek’s face said it all. I wish you many many years of happiness and each time you look at each other, remember the joy that you shared on your special weekend.

Testimonial: “We had two wedding ceremonies in one day, a big Indian ceremony consisting of 600 guests in the morning and a smaller civil ceremony and reception in the evening with our close family and friends.

Miranda was the first celebrant we met up with and from that first meeting we knew she was the one we wanted to marry us. We were really attracted Miranda’s fun, helpful and positive attitude.

Miranda helped us with planning the ceremony, gave us useful tips and even at our rehearsal she was so supportive we knew the actual day was going to go so well. Her fun friendly personality made our guests laugh and helped relax and enjoy the rest of the day.

We had such a memorable and magical day. Everything ran so smoothly and we enjoyed every moment. Thank you Miranda for being part of our perfect day!”
