Ceremony Packages

“Legals Only” Ceremony

(Mon-Thur Only)

$550

  • There are many reasons that couples need a “Legals Only” ceremony, like planning to have an overseas wedding one day, but wish to legally married in Australia. OR you are having a religious and cultural wedding ceremony, that is not legally recognised in Australia. OR the expense of a wedding is unaffordable at the moment, but it’s important to be legally married, sooner rather than later. 
  • Once all the legal paperwork is complete, the Legals Only Ceremony is really simple and super quick. All it takes is about 140 words and 2 minutes, to be legally married in Australia! I need to say some legal words; then you both need to say the legal vow….. paperwork and certificates are signed…. and thats it!!! Done!!! You are married!!  You will need ONLY 2 witnesses over 18 years of age  (For a small fee, I can provide 1 or 2 witnesses) and it can be done anywhere… in your home, in your car, in a bar/restaurant, or anywhere you like!
  • All legal paperwork is taken care of, including online marriage registration.
  •  Travel within 50km radius of my Gymea Bay office. (Extra travel will apply outside the 50km radius)bar

“Super Sweet” Package

$1100

 
  • Introducing my “Super Sweet” package. Its a “ready-to-go” ceremony that keeps things sweet and streamlined, yet focusing and celebrating  on what truly matters. Created with couples in mind who prefer to skip their “Love Story”.  I totally understand that everyone has their own reasons why and that’s perfectly okay! 
  • I will, however, encourage you to infuse your ceremony with your personal touch by selecting one of my vows or writing your own. You’ll have access to my “Ceremony Pack” which includes a variety of vow samples along with my “Tips and Tricks” for crafting your personal vows, if that’s something you’d like to explore.
  • Includes up to 2 Face-Face meetings and video meetings/phone/text/emails.
  •  All legal paperwork is taken care of, including online marriage registration with NSW Births Deaths and Marriages. (If you wish to order your Official Marriage from NSW Births Deaths and Marriage, I can do that for 2 months after your wedding for $65)
  • I use a “super loud” professional Mipro PA, which has Bluetooth if you would like to use your own music for the ceremony. 
  • Travel within a 50km radius of my home in Gymea Bay.(Extra travel fee will apply outside the 50km radius)

“The Diamond Package”

Funerals

  • When the time has come to plan your loved ones farewell, Catherine is well equiped with compassion and empathy, to create a meaningful ceremony that will capture and honour your loved ones life, with dignity and respect.

Your Sydney Celebrant-Catherine Kennedy

Hey lovely people! For over 15 years, I've had the absolute pleasure of being a marriage celebrant and let me tell you, it's not just a job, it's my calling! Being a celebrant fills my heart with so much joy and fulfilment that I never knew was possible. The best part of my job? Working with my couples to plan their perfect ceremony, however that may look, and then seeing their gorgeous smiling faces on the happiest day of their lives! Being a celebrant isn't just about fulfilling a role, it's about being a part of a magical moment in the lives of two people in love. And let me tell you, there's nothing better than that feeling!

The dodgy weather was not going to stop these 2 gorgeous humans. 

It started raining when I arrived, and we waited inside the venue…. and waited and waited ….until ….. it stopped, right on ceremony time. 

So….Musicians, photographers, myself, guests and bridal party all dashed outside to quickly set everything up in about 5 minutes, so we could have Jess and Jarrod’s dream ceremony outside. ❤️❤️

The sun popped out for the ceremony ☀️ they said “I Do” but…. as you can see in the photo ….the rain was on the way. 

We only managed to have Jess and Jarrod sign the paperwork and then …RUN! 🌧️🌧️🌧️ 90 guests , myself and photographers grabbed everything to get out of the rain. 🌧️ 

Their mums were the witnesses so we completed the legal process in their reception room,  and after we were all dried off, they kicked off their reception with Cocktail Hour with their guests. 🍹🍸

Despite the rain disruption, Jess and Jarrod were so happy they had they ceremony outside and they were ready to party! 🎉 

It’s good to remember when planning your wedding, things may not always go to plan and you need to just go with the flow and trust the “Dream Team”you hired…. because we will do anything to give you your  perfect wedding day! ❤️

Congratulations once again Jess and Jarrod. I LOVED being part of your day. 
❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖❤️💖
My favourite cafe just a short walk from my home, was the location for today’s wedding, and the couple are the owners of the cafe, Ben and Annie. Their cafe is appropriately called @benandannies ! 😄❤️
I have been going to their cafe since they opened some 7 years and when they asked me to get them married,  I was more than thrilled. 🤩🤩
They arranged their wedding themselves, using their fabulous courtyard at the cafe and keeping it small and intimate for about 25 family member. 

Such an honour to finally get them married. ❤️Congratulations once again Ben and Annie. 🥂See you in the morning for my coffee 💖☕️💖☕️

Carmen and Steve’s spectacular September wedding was one for the books! Their first dance to “September” was the perfect celebration of their love, complete with incredible moves on the dance floor. 🕺💃🏻🪩

As their celebrant and MC, it was such a joy to witness every moment come together so beautifully. Seeing their vision unfold was truly magical.

Huge congratulations to the fabulous couple, Carmen and Steve! 🥂💖 It was a night I’ll remember for a very long time. 

And a special shoutout to the incredible team who brought it all to life:

When you elope, (I’m mean… really elope) with only the photographer and a “random” as your witness, it’s important to keep it a secret until your loved ones have heard your happy news. 💖💖 Now that everyone knows, I’m allowed to share their photos. 

Back in July, Aebee and Jamie met me at Oak Park Cronulla, in what was the most spectacular winters day ☀️🌊 for them to secretly get married. 🤫

They had some special vows to say to each other and we stepped away to let them have some time alone while they declared their love and made some special promises to each other. It was a beautiful heartfelt moment. ❤️❤️

The next day, they jetted ✈️ off to Bali for a secret honeymoon. 🥂⛱️🏝️ If you are a romantic at heart, this ticked all the romance boxes for an elopement! 

Congratulations once again Aebee and Jamie. And thank you for sharing a few images from the fabulous photographer @karlapaniaguaphoto

The KISS Principle….“Keep it Simple Sweethearts”❤️❤️ 

With the cost of living in Sydney going through the roof, but you still want to get married, use the KISS principle. 

That’s what Maisa and Gabriel did. ❤️❤️Only their 2 witnesses present, and off to celebrate with a casual lunch. 🥂Then one day, on one of their wedding anniversaries, (when they have a little more cash to splash💰) they will have a big party with all of their favourite people, to celebrate the day they said “I Do” at Cronulla! 
Simply Perfect! 🥂💖🥂💖
