ADRIAN AND LINDA - WEDDING CEREMONY

Dearest Catherine

We chose Cath to be our celebrant after attending a friend’s wedding at which she had carried out the ceremony.

We had originally planned to get married late Feb and had organised the date with Cath a while ago. We both went around and ran through the basics, did the simple paper work. All very friendly. Then, we had a change and needed to get it done quicker.

All in all, we brought everything forward with just over a weeks notice, during this time we had to pop around go through the final choice of readings and vows. Cath had been extremely accommodating, even being prepared to put off a prior family engagement to help us out. As it turned out she brought her family along to the wedding including her charming daughter who even helped decorate the venue with some flowers. The ceremony went without a hitch.

It was beautifully done, some of the guests commented to me on the day that we were lucky to get her to do it, I really think we were.

Love Linda and Adrian

Cath was so resourceful. She made us feel very prepared each time we meet up with her.

Her ceremony style, delivery of speech was just so warm and really engage not just us the couple but all the guests too!

I've recommended her to my maid of honour and everyone that I know.

CAROLINE AND STEVEN - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was very patient and understanding, she was caring and considerate of what we wanted and went to the utmost limits to make our day as special as we wanted it.

On the day she made sure we were relaxed as could be and conducted our ceremony in a friendly yet professional manner.

GREG AND MARILOU - WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine was the Marriage Celebrant performing our Ceremony at Auburn Botanical Gardens on January 25 , 2011 . Catherine prepared us for the ceremony with several private rehearsals, stepping us through each stage in a manner that had us prepared and relaxed for our wedding day.

On the day itself the weather was around 35 degrees and very uncomfortable but Catherine was punctual , presented herself in a lovely way and guided us through the ceremony in a very professional manner.

I would not hesitate to recommend Catherine and would also say that from her efforts before, during and after our business we did not only think of Catherine just as a Marriage Celebrant but as a friend to us both.

GREG AND MARILOU - WEDDING CEREMONY

SIMMY AND JONATHAN - WEDDING CEREMONY

Hi Catherine
Just a quick note to say thanks so very much for all your support and help to us through our 'journey' and preparation towards our wedding day.

Your manual of readings and goodies made the ceremony part a breeze for us. Best of all, your friendliness, enthusiasm and efficiency were much appreciated in making us feel comfortable that everything was looked after and ready for the big day! Thanks for all your tips and advice (e.g. about flowers / cakes / best-ring-exchange-photo-opportunity-hand-position-technique) along the way too! You're definitely more than just a celebrant!

Thank you very much to you and your husband for helping with our ceremony! Everyone said it was beautiful (some tears in the audience too, I heard!). I'm sure we'll cross paths again, as my friends seek celebrants for their weddings in the future!

All the best to you and your family!

SIMMY AND JONATHAN - WEDDING CEREMONY

We could not have asked for a more perfect celebrant. You were welcoming and great from the first day we met!!

You were helpful in every aspect, guiding us and offering suggestions on how we could include our family and our children into our ceremony. Your wedding manual was comprehensive and a great resource and help to both Kevin and myself as we choose our readings.

The guests were even commenting on how great you were and loved the idea that we included our children in such a special way during the ceremony.

Thanking you again for being a special part of our wedding day.

Love Kevin and Antonella.

EIESHA & JOSHUA’S - WEDDING CEREMONY

Dear Cath
Thank you very much for the beautiful ceremony. Your words and the words we shared with each other will last a lifetime.

Cath is a wonderful celebrant. She is warm, friendly and organised. The ceremony preparation was easy and enjoyable. I liked the flexible appointment times and we also could corresponded via email.

I loved that Cath did a site visit to our ceremony location which was in Blue Mountains.

Love Eiesha and Josh

BERNARD AND JOANNE - COMMITMENT CEREMONY

Hi Catherine

I just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful wedding ceremony.

There were a couple of hiccups on the way, but you made me and Joanne feel comfortable and calm, and you made the ceremony run through very smoothly.

There were quite a few positive comments about the sand ceremony, which looks like it was one of the highlights of the night. The pattern was beautiful, even though by the time it got home, the sand moved around and most of the pattern is lost. But at least we captured it all on photo and video. :)

Thanks again for making our ceremony and reception night so special.

BERNARD AND JOANNE - COMMITMENT CEREMONY

MICHELLE AND JAMES - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was extremely professional from our first contact with her, but also took time to make sure we were comfortable with the process and understood everything that was taking place.

Cath took the extra step to make our experience with her personal, and showed that she genuinely cared.

Dealing with Cath was a pleasure, not only would I recommend her to friends and family in need of a marriage celebrant, I would also use her again for the other services she provides.

Cath is very personable, friendly, and very organised - willing to go out of her way to help where she can. I would use her again in a heart beat!

Dear Cath
A big thank you for all the help and guidance you provided to myself and Perry for our wedding. We didn't give you much time due to the short lead up and this didn't seem to matter. Your professionalism was evident at all stages of the process and your advice invaluable.

The wedding was the best one Perry and I have been to and made more special by you as our celebrant.

AUNG AND MYAT - WEDDING CEREMONY

Dear Cath
We knew straightaway when we met you that you were the perfect celebrant for us. We thought that you are great and your experience providing just the right amount of seriousness and formality.

Your professionalism and skills in communication also facilitate a relaxed atmosphere for all of us. We also really appreciate your calm and easy approach during the ceremony and that enabled us to forget our nerves and say our vows. Thank you very much for being part of our special day.

We can’t express enough gratitude towards you and wish you well in many other joyful occasions.

ALAN AND MARION - RENEWAL OF VOWS CEREMONY

Dear Cath
I hope you now feel more comfortable that I insisted on having a surprise renewal of vows ceremony. The event went off fantastically and it was a treat to have so many people caught off guard on what they witnessed.

Your execution of all the items we planned was excellent and it was all timed to a tee.

All in all a night to remember, I would recommend your services to anyone and thanks again.

Cheers Alan

JOHN AND BELINDA - WEDDING CEREMONY

Dear Cath

Thank you for a wonderful service – short, simple and just what we wanted.

JOHN AND BELINDA - WEDDING CEREMONY

RACHEL AND TIM - WEDDING CEREMONY

When I met Cath I knew there and then that she was going to be our celebrant, she just blew me away with the knowledge and how friendly she was.

It was also very helpful to know that Cath was just an e-mail or phone call away to help us out with our vows and the requirements that we needed to get to her. It was always good to know that Cath was there to help us through everything that we needed to make our special day that extra special.

Cath was AMAZING especially on the day. As I was running a little late (as per tradition, but I was a lot more than traditionally late) Cath was very helpful with calming my husband’s nerves, helping us out through the ceremony with all of the tears and laughter.

Sometimes words can really not express how much help Cath was and how much she just made the day.

I highly recommend Cath to anyone in need of a celebrant.

Thanks Cath

RACHEL AND TIM - WEDDING CEREMONY

GABRIEL AND ELLA - WEDDING CEREMONY

I was thrilled from the beginning of planning my wedding with Cath.

She thought about all those little things I didn't even know they exist.

Everything was taken care of and follow up calls were made to make sure everything will go smoothly. We had issues with papers from overseas,.but even that was handled with ease and professionally. You need a marriage celebrant?....Cath is the one to choose...believe me.

GABRIEL AND ELLA - WEDDING CEREMONY

STEVEN AND KATE - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath put a lot of work into our ceremony offering suggestions and helping to customise it to suit both our cultures (being Irish and Chinese) everyone commented on how lovely our ceremony was.

We highly recommend Cath, we received our official wedding certificate in the mail less than 2 weeks after getting married thanks to Cath registering our marriage so quickly, my friend waited nearly than 3 months through another celebrant!

STEVEN AND KATE - WEDDING CEREMONY

JOSEPH AND JIANG - WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine is one of those people I am very comfortable dealing with. She made our wedding so special and I cannot ask for anything more. She is great and easy to deal with. So if you are thinking of tying the knot, you can always count on Cath.

JOSEPH AND JIANG - WEDDING CEREMONY

MAL AND JOHN - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was warm and friendly from the start and made everything very simple and straight forward and helping us through the whole process.

On the day she was very professional and kept us on schedule, as you seem to be always running late on the day. It was really nice to have someone guide you through the wedding, even more enjoyable when its your celebrant.

MAL AND JOHN - WEDDING CEREMONY

KERRY AND JOANNE - WEDDING CEREMONY

When Joanne and I first met Cath there were nerves running through both of our veins as we approach her front door. When Cath finally open the door and she smiled at both of us, all of our worries disappeared.

A feeling that we had known Cath for years passed through us both as we were invited into her stunning, yet warm home.

Jo and I had know each other for 4 years but struggled to find the words to describe how much we loved each other. We thought it would be many sleepless nights working out our vows.

Cath once again came to our rescue and had a whole folder of ideas that she had collected through the years.

On the big day, Cath was there 15 minutes early from the time we agreed on which set my mind at ease. Seeing her warm smile again, I knew that the whole day was going to be a success.

Even though we had a slight change with how we rehearsed the ceremony, Cath adjusted very professionally and was very flexible to new arrangements. (White pigeons were to be released at a certain time).

Overall at such short notice, Cath was a blessing. Jo and I recommend her to all our friends in Sydney. We wish to renew our vows in the near future and with no doubt we would be honoured to have Cath with us on that special occasion. Not only was Cath our celebrant on our memorable day, but now we consider her our personal friend of our beautiful family.

KERRY AND JOANNE - WEDDING CEREMONY

PETER AND KAREN - WEDDING CEREMONY

Hi Catherine,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you, on behalf of Pete and I, for all your help with our ceremony.

Right from the start we felt assured that we were in good hands with you. Your advice, guidance and professionalism all along the way made it a perfect ceremony on the day for us, and our entire family were so impressed and had only glowing words to say about it. Thank you for making the lead up to our most memorable day a seamless and stress- free journey.

In saying that, a family friend of ours, who was present at the ceremony, is intending to get married, and would like to enquire about your celebrant services for herself and I am passing on your details.

Thanks ever so much once again, you truly helped us make it the most wonderful day of our lives.

Warmest regards,
Karen and Pete

FRANCIS & ALETHEIA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Dear Cath

We cannot thank you enough for planning such a lovely wedding!

It was great that we were so involved throughout the whole process of planning the ceremony. It made it so much more meaningful.

We were fortunate to get showers of blessing on our wedding day! However, it unfortunately interfered with our guest being able to hear what was going on in the ceremony. But this did not stop us from having a wonderful time!

Thank you again for doing such a great job! We would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone, or give you a reference.

Love Francis & Aletheia

Dear Cath

We still haven’t stopped telling people what a brilliant thing your wedding folder was for us in allowing us to pick and choose from your ceremony tapas menu.

The time you took with our ceremony, the help you gave us, your advice and encouragement in all our flights of fancy made our ceremony both very personal and so easy to put together.

Thank you!

DENIS AND CLAIRE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Thanks for the wonderful ceremony. At all times we were confident that things will go well, or we can seek advice from you on any matter and you would be able to help.

We appreciated your understanding and flexibility when we requested change of the date for the ceremony, and the time of the ceremony later. Your handbook was very comprehensive with samples of readings and ceremonies. We were hoping for something like a process map in written form showing how to prepare for the wedding, such as what to do at what stage and what we should consider and where to look for that information. This was explained to us through questions and your answers and emails.

Your professionalism and your smile made us very comfortable.

Denis and Claire

DENIS AND CLAIRE – WEDDING CEREMONY

LARISSA AND DANIEL - WEDDING CEREMONY

When we went to meet with Cath, we were both a bit apprehensive. We were unsure of the process and what it all involved and with the wedding planning, we were feeling a bit overwhelmed. When we met with her however, she made us feel quite comfortable and was very personable/likeable. There was no question we would be having her as our celebrant on the day.

Cath was very organised and we found she was able to suggest a lot of things we had not thought of and even recommend suppliers she had met through the business. She made the process a lot easier than we had originally expected and she was able to organise the ceremony just the way we had requested it be originally, simple, informal and relaxed.

We had a few dramas on the day with rain but fortunately, she was able to reorganise the set up at the venue (outside) once the rain had stopped in order for myself and the bridesmaid to avoid any mud or other things which would ruin the dresses and shoes.

Very professional and a lovely person. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to any other couples I know who may be married in the future.
