Gathered by Shanda is here for the laid back lovers - for those who are brave enough to do what they want, so that their day is their style, their way.
Couples that choose to work with Gathered by Shanda know that a wedding isn't just about having a lush party - they respect the union of marriage and know that the vibe for the day starts at the ceremony. But they also know that romance doesn't have to mean an overwhelm of awkward emotion - it can be as simple as morning coffees in bed and the jacket you forgot to bring.
How you do it doesn't matter, it's how you feel in the moment that cements the memory forever.

Available for bookings in Perth, Peel and South West WA.
SHANDA
Celebrant, Madam of Ceremonies, Wife, Mumma
My journey to train as a Civil Marriage Celebrant started when I watched the process unravel in planning my own wedding! I was inspired by the concept that marriage ceremonies could be so varied and tailored to each couple, and it led me to become passionate about ceremony script writing and telling a couples' love story in a way that suits their personalities. It is a privilege to be able to narrate a Love Story and watch the smiles on my couples' faces as we take a trip down memory lane, talk about their love, their lessons, their adventures and their hopes for the future.
​​
I am a Wife, a Mum of two rad little boys, an advocate for healthy relationships and an avid lover all things celebrations and milestones (champagne included). I believe that all of life's rights of passage should be celebrated, and I aspire to help others to do just that, in a way that is authentically them.

LOVE LETTERS
Shanda was the Celebrant for our wedding ceremony in Perth in December 2022, and we could not speak any higher of Shanda and her services! Shanda made the entire ceremony planning process stress-free & fun and we clicked with her from our very first cafe meet-up. Our personalised ceremony script was perfect, and she nailed our love story. Shanda made the whole ceremony feel very special and we felt well-supported on the day despite our nerves navigating the ceremony with her smiling and friendly face to guide us. Her communication leading up to and also after our wedding was excellent too. Will be recommending Shanda as a wedding celebrant to EVERYONE we know getting married - she is truly phenomenal.
