Meet Catherine

Hello!

I’m Catherine—your Sydney Celebrant!

Thanks so much for stopping by to find out a little more about me. If you’re planning your wedding, first of all—huge congratulations! I know just how much this day means to you. After 16 years in the wedding industry, I can tell you two things with absolute certainty:

  1. Your wedding day is one of the most important and meaningful days of your life. It deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels completely and uniquely you. Whether that means standing barefoot with the ocean lapping at your feet, or something a little more traditional, I’ll be right there with you—shoes off if needed!
  2. No two couples are the same, so no two ceremonies should be either. I take the time to get to know you—what you love, what makes you laugh, and what your story is—so I can create a ceremony that reflects who you truly are.

There’s a saying: “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” That’s exactly how I feel. Being a celebrant is an absolute joy, and seeing your smiling faces on your wedding day is the ultimate reward.

When I’m not busy creating ceremonies, I’m a proud mum to two incredible young women who are out in the world doing amazing things. They keep me laughing, keep me grounded, and fill my heart to the brim. We also share our home (and our clothes) with Tessie, our sweet-natured Labrador who spreads love and dog hair in equal measure—what we affectionately call her “magical fibres of love.”

When I have time to myself, it’s all about balance: trips to the Southern Highlands or Central Coast, wine around the fire pit with 70s and 80s tunes (the best era!), Friday drinks at our local dog-friendly brewery, and our regular Sunday morning ocean dips followed by coffee—though I’ll admit, winter is a tough sell!

So, if you’re after a celebrant who’s highly organised, full of positive energy, modern yet romantic, with a light-hearted and slightly cheeky sense of humour—I’d love to chat. We can catch up over coffee, tea, or a glass of wine (no pressure, no obligation), and see if I might be the right person to help you start your happily-ever-after.

Your Sydney Celebrant-Catherine Kennedy

Hey lovely people! For over 16 years, I’ve had the joy of being a marriage celebrant—and honestly, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Helping couples create a ceremony that’s personal, heartfelt and completely them is the best part of my job. From planning your ceremony to seeing your smiling faces on the big day, I’m there to make it easy, meaningful and memorable. It’s not just a job—it’s a privilege. So if you're after a celebrant who brings heart, warmth, a little humour, and a whole lot of experience—I’d love to chat.

"Thank you Catherine for being part of our special day! Upon first meeting you, we knew we needn't look further for our Marriage Celebrant. Your beautiful down to earth personality, guidance and professional organisation of our ceremony, was so very appreciated."

The rainbow's appearance 🌈… sublime indeed. 

Sofya and Alexander chose to seal their love this afternoon at s Oak Park Cronulla, accompanied by their 4 children and 2  friends on a breezy, picture-perfect afternoon. 

They opted for an intimate, no-frills celebration… just a heartfelt promise, followed by a cozy family dinner at home. Beautifully straightforward. Love it! 🥰

They have already shared 6 years of love and life, and this morning they promised to share their rest of their life together. ❤️❤️ 

Congratulations Alison and Gabriela. 💕💕

What an honour to marry you while we live streamed to your loved ones in Brazil. I bet they can’t wait to see you for your big wedding celebration in 12 months time. 🇧🇷
Courtney and Joel’s perfect wedding @loxleyonbellbirdhill was like a wedding in treetops. 🌳
And judging by this photo, we were all so very in the zone, or we simultaneously decided to meditate... or maybe we were just blinking at the same time 😂. Either way, it made for a lovely photo! ❤️

Nicolette and Josh’s wedding was pure magic! ✨💕 From high school sweethearts to husband and wife—over a decade of love led them to the most incredible celebration at the stunning @redleafwollombi. 🌿☀️ 

The weather was absolute perfection, ☀️and the black tie dress code saw their family and friends dressed to the nines. Who doesn’t love a black tie occasion. ❤️
Congratulations, once again Nicolette and Josh. Such a special honour to officiate your marriage. 🥂

Married with that iconic Sydney Harbour view, the soft sounds of a harpist drifting through the air… and yes, actual bunnies hopping through the bushland like something out of a fairytale 🐰🌿They are  the unofficial venue residents! 🐰✨

Surrounded by their favourite people, these two promised forever — and even Yvette’s beautiful Nanna in NZ was part of it all, watching via livestream and receiving a big wave and warm welcome from us at the start 💞

When breathtaking views, surprise wildlife, and heartfelt moments combine... that’s when the magic happens! 

Congratulations Yvette and Dane! Here’s to their Happily Ever After! 🥂

It rained all morning yesterday… but right on cue at 11:30am, the skies cleared just long enough for Katalina & Dara to say “I do” under moody skies at beautiful Oak Park, Cronulla.
Just the two of them, their witnesses, and loved ones watching via livestream all the way from South America.
Intimate. Romantic. Perfect. ❤️❤️
So, so good!
