Planning a wedding from interstate was not easy but Cath really made us feel at ease with her organisation skills and great sense of humour. Could not recommend her enough and will definitely be passing a word to all our friends who marry after us!
Thanks Cath for making our wedding go so smoothly and for the amazing ceremony writing – so professional and organised – we couldn’t have imagined the ceremony going any better than it did!
THANK YOU CATH we love your work!
Dear Cath,
Sincerest thanks for the incredibly thoughtful and thorough service keepsake you have put together and given our family to commemorate Dad. I am so thankful to have such a document that thoroughly and beautifully capture the day as a whole.
As you said in your kind note, our next meeting will no doubt be in a more joyful and celebratory setting. I am looking forward to sharing your gift with the rest of my family.
Kind regards,
Rohan

Thank you to my dear friend Cath Flavell for helping us today to organise Dad's funeral service for Monday. She is the celebrant who will be doing the service and she made the process so easy and smooth. My brother Neville & I are very grateful for all that she did and highly recommended her. Being a celebrant, she also does marriages if you are thinking of getting married.

Thank you Cath for the lovely service you did for our dad’s funeral on 6/11/2018. You were so helpful and thorough with organising the whole service with us and showed great empathy and respect. We couldn’t have done it without your assistance and professionalism.
You made things so much easier and smoother for us in our hour of need. Our family and I are eternally grateful for all that you did, and would highly recommend you to anyone for funeral services. You did our Dad proud.

Upon first meeting Catherine, we were able to determine very quickly that Catherine was professional, compassionate and would be an ideal celebrant for us.
Catherine provided a high quality service. She was welcoming from our first contact right through to the ceremony. Catherine showed understanding, was very accommodating to our needs, and provided helpful suggestions in planning our ceremony.
Catherine continued to provide information and guided us through the legal requirements in the weeks leading up to our wedding. Catherine was punctual, and provided a service well tailored to our situation which was comfortable and memorable for us.
Catherine is an absolute delight. Obviously with us being new to the process of getting married, her guidance and confidence was comforting and reassuring so that we knew what, where and when things needed to happen.
On the day itself there were a few hiccups with the weather right when the wedding was supposed to start and also the rings being late, but Catherine stepped in to help calm us down and reassured us to make sure that we went away with only great memories from the day.
Her ability to communicate in both Cantonese and English was fantastic as we had a number of older guests who did not understand English. All in all a fantastic experience and we highly recommend her!
We had an amazing experience with Cath. She picked up everything well and took care of it perfectly. In a time when things can get super busy, she was someone I could rely on to be present on time, to know what was required, to understand our cultural sensitivities. She is calm and understanding.
Hi Cathy,
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for your great help today. Ceremony was perfect and touching and eulogy was wonderful. I will remember it for many years coming. On behalf of my family, thank you so much. Wishing you and your family all the best for the future.
Warm regards,
Diana, Linda and family
Hello Catherine
I want to express my sincerest appreciation to you for helping my family and I through my mother's funeral process. Your celebrant work, Cantonese skills, and advice on the details of the event were of great assistance. Thank you.
Warm Regards

Hi Cathy,
I hope you are well.
I wanted to send you a thank you email for the amazing day we had on Saturday.
You were very helpful throughout, from our first meeting to now. You've made our journey so easy and I cannot say thank you enough.
Thank you again

From the day we met Cath we knew she was the celebrant for us. She put us at ease with the whole process, explaining it perfectly. We had a mixed language wedding, Cantonese and English and the ceremony she delivered was seamless, the transition from English to Cantonese and back was smooth and did not leave guests wondering what was happening.
While she kept the ceremony focus on us, she also kept it light hearted and kept the guests happy and interested. She went out of her way to make sure our ceremony was perfect and we could not have found a better celebrant. All our guests commented on the 5 star job she did.
We wanted a very simple wedding and that is exactly what Cath had given us. We were married at Cath's Ceremony Room and she knew exactly what we wanted. Even though it was small and quick it certainly is one to remember.
Thank you Cath, I am glad I had chose you as our Celebrant. Will certainly recommend you!!!
Hey!!!! Our experience with Catherine as celebrant for our wedding was awesome! With our big number (of guests), which was beyond her expectations, she accommodated us without complaining! I would always recommend her!
Cath was wonderful to work with and we felt that our ceremony was in good hands.
We had a short lead time coming up to our wedding and Cath was very professional, well organised, accommodating and fun to work with. We didn't have much time, but it came together rather nicely.
She had introduced a few different options for the ceremony and since we had not seen the sand ceremony before, we thought it would be a unique way to remember the day by.
Before going into our ceremony, we knew what to expect and a number of our guests had commented positively on the ceremony. Thanks so much!
Alan and Michelle
Cath was so easy to work with. She was very efficient with her replies and made our whole wedding process so much smoother!
She gave us fantastic suggestions for our ceremony and really listened to what we wanted to have included and what we didn't want. Thank you again, Cath!
What can I say really? Plenty!
Cath provided my wife and I with the most enjoyable experience with the wedding ceremony planning. It was definitely our pleasure and privilege to use her services!
She is fun to work with from the initial interview right to the very end. I recall clearly how she was able to keep us calm throughout the whole process especially on our Wedding Day. She had everything under control and was able to make everything go smoothly. We have so much time for Cath and her husband. We'll highly recommend her services to all.
Cath did an excellent job for our wedding ceremony. Well prepared, punctual, professional and warm, we highly recommend her service. She speaks Cantonese too which suits us perfectly as some of our guests need just that!
Thank you so much for your professional guidance in designing such a memorable and moving service for my grandmother.

Dear Cath
We were married by Cath April 14th and could not have asked for a better celebrant. She truly cares about each couple and takes the time to get to know you, your relationship quirks, and your wedding wishes.
Professional, prompt, concise, informative and abundant free-flowing communication made the entire process so easy (especially surprising when my partner and I had no clue where to even start!).
From memory, we went through 10 different versions, back and forth between us. A ceremony truly tailored for us, written for and by us and delivered by a warm, friendly, colour-coordinated Cath! On the day, she helped coordinate family members and made sure everybody involved knew where they were meant to be and what they were meant to do, supporting and reassuring everybody's nerves so that it ran just perfectly.
Even after the wedding, we're finding her leaflets so helpful (E.g. Change of name checklist!). You won't go wrong with Cath ?
Cath, thank you so much for your hard work and generous patience in making our special day perfect. It truly couldn’t have happened without you and we’ll always be so grateful.
Warm regards
Anna and James
Cath did a great job for us from start to finish. She had all the right advice and support and didn't try to charge us and arm and a leg either as so many do whenever 'wedding' is mentioned. I couldn't recommend her services more.
We got married on Saturday 24th March at Catherine's registry style venue and she was amazing. It was a casualish wedding with family only and Catherine just adapted to our needs and family's personality instantly. We had a couple of family member running late and Catherine offered to delay the ceremony even though she had a busy day ahead. She truly is a great celebrant.
Like everyone else on the day i was super nervous when the photographers arrived & started taking photos of our preparation, but I was relaxed at the same time because i was confident that Catherine was gonna take great care of our ceremony.
From when I first contacted Catherine enquiringly about her service, meeting her for consultations, writing our transcript, rehearsing, to ultimately conducting the ceremony, Catherine had been truly professional & taken everything seriously (sprinkled with some senses of humour so it was very comfortable working with her). The ceremony went as smoothly as it could get & we couldn’t thank her enough.
Cath is an amazing and a very organised celebrant. We are so happy that we had Cath with us in our wedding. She oversaw every detail of the ceremony and more importantly, she made the whole experience personalised and intimate. We have a lot of laughters during our meetings, and her suggestions are really helpful. Thank you Cath for your wonderful work.
Cath was very professional and thorough throughout the whole process. We felt great rapport and confidence that she would get us through the big day and paperwork with no issues, which was exactly the case. The tips were much appreciated by the bridal party and speaking Cantonese was helpful for during the ceremony.
Catherine was there for us every step of the way. She has an eye for attention to details and quick to response to all our emails. We are so glad to have her as our celebrant and she made our day so seamless and worried free.
Everyone enjoyed the day and found out more about us through the humour of our vows which was beautifully summarised by Catherine.
Thank you Catherine for the wonderful experience.
Hope all is well with you & a big thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the lovely service that you did.
Kind regards Sharl and family
Dear Cath
Thank you for being our celebrant and literally making our future as husband and wife possible. You have been so patient and knowledgeable – we felt like we were in great hands the whole time.
On the note of being patient, thank you for your always prompt response to our emails and edits… so many edits! so many questions! We’ll miss our fun chats at your place in Wattle Grove, thanks for everything!
Much love, Adam and Donna.
Hey Cath,
Thank you very much. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the day. You were so lovely and did an amazing job with everything. Thank you again.
Kind Regards Nicole
Dear Cath, Just a little something to Thank You (potted orchid and truffles) for everything. It was just as I imagined and thanks for making us feel comfortable. Regards Deidre and John
Catherine is very detailed oriented and well organised, and is a very experienced celebrant who patiently answered all our (silly) questions. We had our wedding in Hunter Valley and have family members who don't understand English well. Catherine is very accommodating to our request to travel all the way up and included Cantonese in the ceremony. Her lovely and cheerful characteristics make us feel at ease. We love the little humour added during ceremony, as all guests burst into laughter and made it a memorable day for everyone!
Cath is a very professional, welcoming and caring celebrant. Cath made the whole process of the wedding ceremony so easy, from the moment we met we knew she was the right person for the job. We were so lucky to have her to be a part of our special day as our celebrant. The love story/vow that she wrote about us was amazing and has wonderful comments from our guests about how warm and genuine it was. The ceremony was full of love and laughter and was everything we could have ever imagined and more. Thank you Cath for making our day so special. Mr & Mrs Shakya
Hi Catherine,
You are a wonderful celebrant. Thank you so much!
Best regards
Linda
Catherine was a very professional, accommodating and caring celebrant. We had a ceremony with no dramas, only joy and happiness. She’s very thoughtful and offered us a variety of options including a traditional Chinese tea ceremony. She even conducted half of the ceremony in Cantonese for the benefit of my relatives from Hong Kong. She made everything perfect for our special day. If anyone I know ask for a wedding celebrant, I’d definitely recommend Cath!!

Hi Catherine
Thanks for doing a wonderful guiding of the farewell for Mum. Your team are also deserving of our thanks and commendations! Regards Peter
Thanks for your great service today. – Regards Paul
Cath was wonderful to deal with and we did not have to worry about anything for our ceremony. She is detailed, thorough, clear and well prepared and most helpful. She made our ceremony effortless and enjoyable and would recommend her in a heartbeat.
Hi Catherine
I just want to express my sincere thanks for all you have done at my hardest time.
Best regards
Y Zhang
Cath was a very helpful and well organised celebrant. She asked all the right questions and wrote a beautiful ceremony out of the answers, it really made our big day so special. There were many laughs shared during our appointments and Cath's warmth and friendliness helped us relax throughout the process of finalising everything and during the ceremony itself.
It was a perfect day for us that we will always cherish, thank you Cath for helping us making it come true!
Cath was such an effective and efficient Celebrant! She was very accommodating and very easy to communicate with.
My husband resides in Sydney and I was in another country when we were doing our wedding preps. He was the one who contacted Cath and did the initial interview with her.
Cath made sure that my husband (fiancé at that time) was at ease with the interview and she explained thoroughly all the things that we need. We were able to complete all the legal documents necessary prior to the wedding thanks to her and she also gave wonderful tips for the wedding proper that helped us have wonderful pictures!
She also did not have any issues driving all the way to Hunter Valley for our wedding and was on time. It was such a memorable day and partly because Cath was there to help us with it.
Thanks again.
Melvin and Paola
Cath did a fantastic job on our wedding ceremony back in May 2017. Cath has that warm and cheerful personality, and from our first meeting, she's very professional and well organised. She made the whole process easy for us from day one until the wedding day itself. I highly recommend her and we definitely made the right choice having her as our celebrant.
Catherine,
Thanks for your work today. You have done a really great job. Really appreciated.
Regards
Jeff & Lei
