How To Get Married

Heres’s how it works. 4 easy steps!

1. Lets Meet!

Lets meet up over a coffee/drink (or Video Call) to chat about your big day and to see if we click! We can start the legal paperwork at this meeting or complete later, as long as its done a  minimum of 4 weeks BEFORE your wedding date! I will explain all 3 stages of legal paperwork to you at our first meeting. 

2. Plan and Paperwork

Once you have locked me in with your deposit, I will send you my “Ceremony Kit”, that will help you make some decisions about your ceremony ie vows, readings etc.
A
pprox. 4-6 weeks before your wedding, I will send you the 1st draft of your ceremony, for your approval/edits.

Kristen and Michael

3. Meet Again

If possible, we will meet up again, approx. 4-6 weeks before your wedding day, or we can have video chat. I will walk you through your ceremony,  step-by-step, minute-by-minute, and I can answer all your questions like: how do we stand for the ceremony; do I hold my flowers the whole time; who holds the rings?

4. Get Married!

Your big day has finally arrived!
I will arrive about 1 hour before the ceremony, with my checklist of things to do and people to meet /brief. All you have to do is turn up looking fabulous and feeling excited; enjoy the ceremony we created together; and then it’s time to celebrate!!

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 💖☕️💖☕️

It’s pretty special when you marry your best friend, and the love of your life.

Carmen and Steve’s wedding @stgeorgesailingclub was everything they had dreamed of. 

And with what they now call their very own “Brady Bunch” becoming a family of 6 now, they have created a new family with endless possibilities. 

Congratulations lovers, AKA The Foxes 🦊 It was so much fun being part of such  an incredibly important moment in your lives. 💖❤️🦊💖❤️🦊

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! 🥂💖🥂💖
