It began with a cup of tea\u2026And then came a pouring of ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/aucklandmarriagecelebrant.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/weddings2.jpg” _builder_version=”4.4.8″ width=”44%” custom_margin=”-14px|421px|1px|||” custom_padding=”|||40px|false|false”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ text_text_color=”#000000″ custom_padding=”27px|40px|27px|40px|true|true” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”12px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n
We arrived at our first meeting with Yogamani knowing very little of what we intended for our wedding but, after a refreshing pot of tea and a lengthy chat, we walked away having a firm idea about what to do, what could be achieved, and what to expect. Yet, above all, we were confident that we would be lovingly guided toward a blissful ceremony.<\/p>\n
We had known all along that Yogamani was to be our celebrant. She is a wonderful friend to us and a reliable support person to our family. She knows us both very well and was able inspire us and to help bring to life our ideas for the ceremony. Yogamani made the process seem like less of a big task and, instead, nurture it as a flowing expression of love and commitment.<\/p>\n
On the day of our wedding, Yogamani greeted us with a warm, beautiful smile and an elegance that gave the ceremony a relaxed, loving tone. Guests were drawn to her kind voice and clear recitation. It was an honour to have such a wonderful celebrant be there for us. We had rain, we had technical issues, but, praise the Gods, we had Yogamani! Our ceremony was everything that we dreamed it would be and shall forever be remembered as one of the happiest and most fun-filled days of our lives.<\/p>\n
Yogamani is the celebrant that every couple hopes for. Not only is she the voice of the wedding party, while guiding them through the ceremony, Yogamani invokes courage, strength, and a calm assurance that everything be amazing.<\/p>\n

We knew instantly when meeting Swami Yogamani Saraswati that our wedding ceremony would not be the same without her! We just had to have her in our lives. She was very caring and protective of our ceremony, giving us lots of ideas, ensuring it would run perfectly and even helping us with styling. She was so much more than a celebrant. She set the tone and vibe and produced our dream wedding ceremony. She was beautiful, positive, spiritual and not to mention, amazingly dressed!<\/span><\/p>\n[\/dica_divi_carouselitem][dica_divi_carouselitem title=”Max & Em” button_url_new_window=”1″ image=”https:\/\/aucklandmarriagecelebrant.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/emily.jpg” image_lightbox=”on” image_position=”image_under_title” image_padding=”||10px||false|false” content_padding=”20px|50px|20px|50px|false|false” button_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#333333″ header_font_size=”35px” body_font=”PT Sans Narrow||||||||” body_text_color=”#333333″ body_font_size=”16px” body_letter_spacing=”0px” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.84)” background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” background_blend=”overlay” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”12px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”100px” button_font=”Parisienne||||||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_alignment=”center” transform_scale=”105%|105%” transform_origin=”50%|0%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”#000000″ box_shadow_style_button=”preset2″ box_shadow_color_button=”#E02B20″ background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”” background_enable_color__hover=”off”]<\/p>\n
Max and I would both like to thank you for the AMAZING ceremony you did for us on our wedding day. We are both still blown away with how calmly everything went and how utterly perfect the ceremony was. You knew exactly what we wanted just from one meeting and from then on you kept in regular contact making sure everything was running smoothly.\u00a0You are such an amazing person and the work that you do is inspiring. We are so glad we found you and had such a lovely lady marrying\u00a0us on the most special day of our lives!<\/span><\/p>\n[\/dica_divi_carouselitem][dica_divi_carouselitem title=”Michaela Allnutt” button_url_new_window=”1″ image=”https:\/\/aucklandmarriagecelebrant.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Michaela-Allnutt.jpg” image_lightbox=”on” image_position=”image_under_title” image_padding=”||10px||false|false” content_padding=”20px|50px|20px|50px|false|false” button_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#333333″ header_font_size=”35px” body_font=”PT Sans Narrow||||||||” body_text_color=”#333333″ body_font_size=”16px” body_letter_spacing=”0px” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.84)” background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” background_blend=”overlay” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”12px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”100px” button_font=”Parisienne||||||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_alignment=”center” transform_scale=”105%|105%” transform_origin=”50%|0%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”#000000″ box_shadow_style_button=”preset2″ box_shadow_color_button=”#E02B20″ background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”” background_enable_color__hover=”off”]<\/p>\n
Yogamani was an amazing celebrant and the perfect person for the most important part of our wedding. We met with her and we instantly loved her professionalism and sense of calm. Josh and I always wanted our ceremony to be personal and we appreciated all of the resources she sent us to help us create the ceremony of our dreams. She then gave feedback and helped us to refine it so it was perfect. Our wedding day was unique and so special and we are thankful Yogamani was there to help us achieve that.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/dica_divi_carouselitem][dica_divi_carouselitem title=”Ella and Illi” button_url_new_window=”1″ image=”https:\/\/aucklandmarriagecelebrant.co.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/ella-eli.jpg” image_lightbox=”on” image_position=”image_under_title” image_padding=”||10px||false|false” content_padding=”20px|50px|20px|50px|false|false” button_margin=”||||false|false” custom_margin=”||40px||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” _builder_version=”4.4.9″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_text_color=”#333333″ header_font_size=”35px” body_font=”PT Sans Narrow||||||||” body_text_color=”#333333″ body_font_size=”16px” body_letter_spacing=”0px” background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.84)” background_enable_color=”on” background_enable_image=”off” background_blend=”overlay” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”12px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”100px” button_font=”Parisienne||||||||” button_use_icon=”off” button_alignment=”center” transform_scale=”105%|105%” transform_origin=”50%|0%” box_shadow_style=”preset3″ box_shadow_color=”#000000″ box_shadow_style_button=”preset2″ box_shadow_color_button=”#E02B20″ background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”” background_enable_color__hover=”off”]<\/p>\n
We chose Yogamani as our celebrant because she brings a quiet wisdom and sense of calm. We believe she has the mana to perform such an important role.<\/p>\n
Yogamani is very supportive and amazingly generous \u2013 she works from her heart and puts a lot of love into everything she does. She helped us explore what was important to us for our ceremony, and supported us to remain true to ourselves. She also helped us to discover the full meaning behind what we were about to perform.<\/p>\n

Yogamani was our celebrant for our recent wedding at Sculptureum. We chose her because we wanted som<\/span>eone who was spiritual but not\u00a0<\/span>religious, and would do a ceremony that was special and personal, rather than humorous and light. She did an amazing job and she looked absolutely stunning on the day – after consulting with us, she wore an incredible dress that complimented the red accents in our decor.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/dica_divi_carouselitem][\/dica_divi_carousel][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _dynamic_attributes=”link_option_url” header_font=”Amatic SC||||||||” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”32px” background_color=”#333333″ text_orientation=”center” width=”30%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||16px|133px||” custom_padding=”12px|||||” link_option_url=”@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjU2OSJ9fQ==@” header_font_size_tablet=”” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n
