Meet Catherine

Hello! 

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!

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!

"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."

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. ❤️❤️❤️

Congratulations once again Steve and Jennifer. ❤️❤️Truly a delight to have been part of your special day. 💖💖

Something sweet 💖happened on this Tuesday morning…..Michael and Tifanie are planning a bigger celebration in France next year but today was about making their relationship official in Australia with just a handful of special people in their lives including family who flew in from NZ 🇳🇿 and France 🇫🇷. 

With their 3 month old son in their arms it was a perfect setting while listening the sounds of the waves 🌊 behind us.
