And thanks for stopping by to find out a little bit more about me. As a Sydney based Marriage Celebrant with more than 14 years of experience in the wedding industry, there are 2 things I know for sure…
1. I know more than anything, how important your wedding day is to you! The amazing love and commitment you share with your partner, is something that should be celebrated in your own unique way. (and if it means I need to take off my shoes, so you can get married right next to the ocean or with the water lapping at our feet, then I will. )
2. No two weddings are the same because no two couples are the same, and when I met my couples, I always have this in mind.
There is a saying, “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life!” And that is exactly how I feel!!
And there is nothing more wonderful than meeting and getting to know a couple; planning and writing their ceremony, to then see their gorgeous excited faces on their wedding day. That is the best!!!!
When I’m not out and about marrying loved up couples, I’m a mum of two incredible young women who are both taking on the world with incredible gusto. My daughters make me laugh out loud and they make my heart burst with pride! We also have and adore our beautiful and sweet nature Labardor Retriever, Tessie, who has weaved her Labrador magic into all of our hearts, and leaves all of her dog hair on all of our clothes. (Also known as “Magical Fibres Of Love” )
We love our weekends away to the Southern Highlands or Central Coast, Friday drinks at our local “dog friendly” micro brewery, (love that and so does our Tessie), mid week dinner catchup with friends, anything on Netflix and we LOVE “Grand Designs”, wine nights around our fire pit listening to everything from the 70’s and 80’s (best music ever) and more recently, early morning dips in the ocean. However, winter is a bit of a challenge… brrrrr.
So, if you would like a celebrant who is super organised, energetic, light hearted, (with a cheeky sense humour) and with a modern romantic vibe, get in touch so we can have a chat, video call or maybe meet up (Obligation Free) for a coffee, tea or a glass of wine. And hopefully I can be “Your Sydney Celebrant” to get you started on your Happily-Ever-After!

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!
Nothing feels better than knowing you have found "The One", and now you are going to make it official.
See our ceremony packagesGet in touch with me to organise your wedding today!
Get in touch"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."

A rather windy wedding ceremony for Aditi and Andy at beautiful Oak Park just a few weeks ago.
Despite the wind it was still beautiful. ❤️❤️
Thank you to their photographer Trevor Sandford @gvgtrev for sharing their photos.

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

When days were warmer back in March ☀️and Camila and Junior celebrated with family and friends at Shelly Beach Cronulla. 🇧🇷 💖
There was colour, fun, joy and happy tears all round. And their adorable Fur Baby 🐶 was the ring bearer. 💍
With family travelling from overseas for the event, Sydney did not disappoint with her Autumn sunshine ☀️ And fabulous images by the talented @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! 🥂💖🥂💖

It was a joyous family affair when Narelle and Mark made it official. ❤️❤️
Just each other’s children and their grandchildren to celebrate the occasion, at Stanwell Park beach standing in front of a beautiful tree that was beautifully symbolic of the new extensions of their new family tree. 🌳
Thanks to fabulous photographer @paulgolbachphotography for sharing the images….and for recommending me to his father-in-law Mark to be their celebrant. Thanks a bunch, once again Paul. 😘

These 2 lucky couples managed to get married on a cool Sunday morning…… in between showers. Sydney’s winter has been unseasonally wet ☔️🌧️ but we nailed it! The rain returned as we all jumped into our cars to leave…phew. Congratulations to Selene and Wilfredo, and Maisa and Gabriel. 💖🥂Sunday morning Wedding Celebrations are pretty special. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The cold temperature on the day of Lian and Nicole’s wedding at @bendooleyestate is now a distance memory.
Perfect winter sunshine ☀️ and I was able to watch them have some gorgeous photos taken at “Golden Hour” before the drive home. Stunning 🌅

I helped a beautiful family say farewell to their sister, mum, and ”Grand-Mum”, Aunty and cherished friend, this morning. 😇
This beautiful soul was the epitome of resilience,strength and determination, having lived with many health challenges throughout her life , yet never complaining or letting any adversity get in her way. A true inspiration. 💖
The family gifted me a beautiful candle as a thank you, and the wording created by her 2 children reads:
“ Mum. Someone that sees the best in her kids, even when they drive her crazy. One person who does the work of 20 for free.”😉
Yep….. 😊💖

No crazy winter wind 💨 rain 🌧️ and or cold temperatures, was going to stop these 3 couples from getting married at Cronulla yesterday!
What a ride it was! ( Im totally thawed out now thankfully 🤣)
1 couple used their back up plan at home, and the other 2 couples braved the elements with a sheer grit and determination.
Regardless… I left them all with hearts full of love 💖💖and smiles on their faces. Congratulations to all 3 couples. ❤️❤️❤️
