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."

Steph and Brent
Nicky and Brendan. ❤️ We had only ever met via Zoom and planned everything else with emails, texts and calls. And we even signed the Notice of Intended Marriage via Zoom. Everything came together just perfectly and it was so good to give them a big hug what I finally met in person about an hour before the ceremony started. 

Nicky’s dad was unable to join us in person so the ceremony was live streamed by the amazing team @ceremonycast 

And I have to say that seeing Nicky walk down the aisle by herself looking like a movie star ⭐️ was one of those moments when time stands still. Just precious. 💖

Congratulations Nicky and Brendan. Here’s to love,laughter and your Happily Ever After ❤️❤️

After a long drive to get to Cronulla, they were thrilled that the forecast rain, did not appear this afternoon. 😃👍🏻

With just 2 witnesses, and their 2 children, Elanor and David exchanged very meaningful and heartfelt vows, with the endless ocean behind them and rain to be seen . 

And to celebrate…..they had a romantic dinner for 2 booked and a weekend staying in the city. Love that ! 🥂❤️

Just a few minutes after this was taken Mother Nature unleashed one heck of a downpour 🌧️🌧️🌂🌂….. and then…. It was gone! 

After some 11 years together , Drew and Rachel promised to share the rest of lives together as Mr and Mrs and as beautiful parents to their son Koa. Koa was their Ring Bearer, who was hard to wrangle for a photo  as he was far too busy  running around beautiful Oak Park, burning off energy…. as pre-schoolers do. 🤣

Congratulations Drew and Rachel. Your personal vows were perfect! 💖❤️ Enjoy your celebrations with your family at Sealevel. Yum 🥂🍸🍹
I love that my first wedding for 2025 was on a Thursday for a short and super sweet ceremony for this ready made family. ❤️

Jason and Teo made it official at Clark Park, Milsons Point this morning and despite the showers and grey skies it was perfect…. and any day that you are surrounded by some of your favourite people,  is going to be a great day. 👍🏻

With their brand new baby girl snuggled up close to mum,  and their son holding mum and dads hands together while they said their vows, ( that was so cute ❤️) it was the beautiful and heartfelt way to start a new year of weddings a ahead. 

Jason and Teo will head to Romania one day for a more formal and cultural ceremony with family and friends, so today was about making their relationship legally recognised. 

Congratulations to Jason and Teo 🥂💖
 What a gorgeous way to kick off my 2025 weddings.

Happy 2025 to each and every one  you. ❤️💖 New Year….New Beginnings! 

And exciting times for those of you getting hitched in 2025! 
Bring it on! 🎉❤️🎉🎊❤️🎉🎊
Sometimes things just happen, even though it was perfect ☀️

Chevy and Mikaelah drive more than an hour for their ceremony,  with just 3 witnesses, to beautiful Oak Park Beach. 

But…. before we started they realised they had left the rings at home 💍
No problem…. Family to the rescue, temporarily using their rings for the ceremony. 

So, next year they may return to Oak Park Beach on their 1st Anniversary to exchange the real rings while they renew their wedding vows with me. ❤️

Congratulations Chevy and Mikaelah 💖❤️. Loved your relaxed and easy going nature,  and being flexible and accepting with the unexpected. 💍😜
Have the most amazing Christmas with the ones you love ❤️ because really….that is what it is all about. 💖

And to all of my 2025 couples, pretty soon you can finally say, “We are getting married this year!” 
Merry Christmas to you all. 🎅🏻💖🎅🏻💖🎅🏻
There is something very special about  finding love later in life. ❤️❤️

It can often bring a richer, more meaningful connection, because it can comes from a place of gratitude for having met “The One”. 

Deanne and Paul certainly typify that sentiment and 4 weeks ago they became Mr and Mrs! 💍 It was a very special day for these to beautiful souls. And I’m loving Deanne’s dress! 💖 @needleandthreadlondon 

I was their celebrant and MC 🎤 for a very intimate gathering @havenstonesyd 
And we are loving these fabulous images 📷 from @bedfordphotography. Thanks team. 👏🏻
