We met Reverend Mandi in June 2006 in order to plan our backyard wedding for July 22, 2006. My wife and I wanted a spiritual ceremony with our own personal and “tropical” touches and Reverend Mandi delivered what can only be described as the most personal, loving and special wedding ceremony that we could have ever imagined. Thus, our Circle of Life had begun with Reverend Mandi.
Our next stage in our lives, in the fall of 2007, was the Baptism of our two children. Again, our backyard was the home to this touching and emotional ceremony and again, Reverend Mandi, now considered by us, as one of our family, was involved in another part of our Circle of Life.
We once again called on Reverend Mandi to guide us through another stage in our lives; unfortunately, it was to help us through the passing of my wife and my boys Mom, Marianne, who passed on June 7, 2009. Never have we needed be guided in this way and there was no one else who could have guided us, spiritually, through this than Reverend Mandi.
The service delivered by Reverend Mandi was the most beautiful, heartfelt, sincere and personal tribute to and celebration of my wife’s life. The words from Reverend Mandi during the service provided much comfort and strength to all those in attendance and more importantly to me and my boys.
Our Circle of Life had been completed with Reverend Mandi’s loving and compassionate approach. Being able to have personal, spiritual support and guidance throughout our Life Journey, has given us the strength to pursue our next stage, healing, and to build our New Circle of Life.
There is no other Reverend, Minister, Clergy or such that I have encountered in my lifetime, that has made such a positively strong and lasting spiritual impression on our lives. I know that we have, in Reverend Mandi, a friend and family member, who we can look to for guidance, in times of joy and in sorrow. We know that we are fortunate to have been touched by her and to have her in our life.

I have known Mandi Neiser for several years, so when my brother passed away unexpectedly it was only natural we asked Mandi to help us by conducting his service. She had only just married my nephew a few months before his death and I was not sure she could do a funeral but “yes” she sure would. Although we knew Mandi her extreme professionalism took over and we were amazed at how hard she worked to obtain the information she needed. It is such a hard time for a parent to have to bury their child and Mandi was there to help my mother through what needed to be done. Her sensitive way and her knowing exactly what to ask us all where extremely comforting. So much so that my mother told my other siblings and I that when her time came please only ask Mandi. Unfortunately my mother’s time came far to soon after my brother’s death and we were faced with yet again another service. Mandi was there for us ready to discuss what we wanted. She arrived at my mother’s apartment with prayers and poems along with suggestions to help us through. Asking just the right questions, she collected the information she needed. When the day of the service arrived, Mandi conducted not just a service but a beautiful touching eulogy. So beautiful that if any of the family members had not spoke anyone would have got a real sense of who my mom was through Mandi. The words of comfort, some funny stories along with just enough religious content more then provided us with the service we wanted for my mom. When last minute changes were thrown in just prior the service, there was Mandi, ” No problem” she just rearranged her things and calmly went on. Words can not express the thanks we had for Mandi, for giving our mother the best send off possible.!!! She would have been so very please.

Everyone we talked with absolutely fell in love with our ceremony and had said that they had never experienced anything quite like it and it was as though you had known each of us for years… Hearing what we already knew come to life from paper & the ceremony outline, was so beautiful. My only regret is that I didn’t have a videographer to tape the day.
We are truly blessed that we found you and you are right, I do believe it was not by chance that we found you. There is purpose for everyone that crosses paths.Thank you so much again Mandi! You are truly an angel to us!
