Maṅgala Aṣṭaka is a form of Mantra which is sung at the marriage ceremony in Maharashtra and Karnataka.

It always starts with the Aṣṭavināyaka Vandana, which is as follows:

Svasti Śrī Gaṇanāyakam Gajāmukham Moreśvara Siddhidam Ballalam Murudum
Vināyaka Maham Cintamanim Thevaram | Lenyadrim Girijātmājam Suvaradam
Vighneśvara Ojhāram Grāme Ranjananamake Gaṇapati�
Kūryāt Sadā Maṅgala�

स्वस्त� श्री गणनायकम् गजामुखम् मोरेश्वर सिद्धिदम� बल्ललम� मुरुदुम्
विनायक महम् चिन्तमनिम् थेवरम् | लेन्यद्रिम� गिरिजात्माजम� सुवरदम�
विघ्नेश्वर ओझारम् ग्रामे रन्जननमक� गणपतिः
कूर्यात् सद� मङ्गलं

There can be many other verses in between based on the number of enthusiastic singers present in the wedding ceremony. The last verse is always:

    tadeva lagna� sudina� tadeva tārā-bala� candra-bala� tadeva �
    vidyā-bala� daiva-bala� tadeva lakṣmīpate� teṁgh�'yuga� smarāmi �!
