Cath was amazing. Professional, accommodating, and flexible. She made our big day was smooth and lot less stressful with Cath at the helm!
Hello Cath again,
Hope you have been well! Also, I wanted to let you know that James's mum passed away 6 days after the wedding and we had the funeral last week. It was a peaceful passing and the family are all glad she was able to attend and enjoy the wedding ceremonies. Once again, thanks very much for being so accommodating during that time of uncertainty and also for your suggestions on how to set up on the day. It was really helpful and we're grateful we had you as our celebrant.
Thank you, Bonnie and James
Cath has been an absolute pleasure to work with, super friendly and very professional, she even speaks Cantonese if needed! She has went beyond her way to help make our recent wedding as seamless, beautiful and romantic as it can be. Highly recommended!
G'day Cath,
Thanks for doing a great job last Monday. So many people have said how fantastic it was.
Regards Billy
Hi Cath
We loved our little service and many of our family members commented on how nice you were. Thank you and regards!
Hi Cath,
Thank you for your beautiful funeral service yesterday. The family was delighted by your retelling of events and how you seamlessly weaved seemingly stray trains of thought from the family into a remarkable speech.
Regards Nick on behalf of the family
Amazing! The process from beginning to end was smooth. Friendly and helpful with everything that we needed and we couldn't recommend anyone enough! Thank you so much Cath from the bottom of our hearts!
Catherine is very professional & accommodating to (almost) last minute changes.
She made the whole process so easy for us & was well prepared from the first day we contacted her to the wedding day, which in our case had to be postponed due to Covid.
Thank you Catherine for allowing us to change the dates and made our wedding such a memorable event in these current situations. You were very professional.
We could not have organised the whole event without your guidance & support. We would highly recommend you to anyone. Thank you again Catherine

Hi Catherine
The memorial service was beautiful - you did a great job as celebrant.
Thank you - Shelagh Doyle
Cath was the first celebrant that we contacted and she turned out to be the only one we contacted. She got us hooked from the very first moment when we spoke to her due to her attention to details, professionalism, friendliness and lots of laughs along the way making getting married worth it and one less thing to stress about on the day.
She definitely knows exactly what she is doing and made it such an easy process by helping in any way possible to make our day special. Even at the oddest hours or last minute decisions and changes, she made it work and we are so truly blessed that she was there.
We had an intimate ceremony in her ceremony room and given the many little changes, touches of culture and Covid. It worked out beautifully. We are so happy to share our special day with her and we couldnt have it any other way. She is THE celebrant to go to.
Just like that saying goes: "We could not say "I Do" without You!" Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Catherine!! & We definitely recommend Catherine to anyone who wants to get married. - With lots of love Navneet & Janika.
Hi Catherine
Thank you for the beautiful service for Annie. I really miss her.
Kindest regards
Fiona
Cath was an amazing celebrant and we had an intimate service at her home with friends and family. She was professional, loving, kind and all around a great person to have at our wedding. Would recommend her to anybody.
Thank you Catherine for being so professional and friendly in preparation for our wedding! It was such an easy process and we appreciate the level of detail you put in to everything. We definitely recommend Catherine to anyone wanting to tie the knot :) E & N.
Highly recommend the services provided by Cath. She is very professional and exceptionally organised. I planned my wedding from the UK before arriving in Sydney. Communication is everything, cannot thank Cath enough for her dedication with this. Also had the opportunity to bring my wedding date brought forward due to my own commitments. Outstanding service provided here. Very happy!! Thank you.
Hi Cathy,
Thanks so much for the beautiful ceremony last week. I think mum would have liked it, and also the rosary beads, it was such a lovely gift from your mum.
Daisy and Cameron
Cath was absolutely incredible as a celebrant. I first got in contact with her last year not really knowing what approach to take with our wedding, but she explained everything thoroughly and made me feel at ease. She was the one and ONLY celebrant I had spoken to before our wedding and I knew (just the same way I did with my now husband) that she was "the one"!
She is one of the most patient and professional people I have ever met and is always happy to assist. We had many changes with our ceremony due to unforeseen circumstances but she easily and happily adapted to them which we are so grateful for. It's no wonder she has received many awards for her work.
I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone!
Thank you so much Cath!!
We met Cathy at her house to discuss and plan our ceremony - she made us feel at ease and welcome - the preparation was an enjoyable experience - Cathy handled the ceremony flawlessly - you can imagine we were nervous and unsure of ourselves but she organised us and coordinated with the other organisers and made it happen for us and our guests - totally recommend Cathy for weddings - our family and our guests complimented and praised us for their experience of participating in our beautiful wedding.
Thank you very much Cathy
From Rica and Don
From a Wedding coordinators point of view, i will rate her a perfect 10 !! On the day Rica & Don brought me to have a meeting with Cath, i knew there and then that we will be in good hands. We shared a lot of laughs during our meeting. She is down to earth, very accommodating and offered helpful suggestions as well.
Very Professional and easy to work with. She clearly explained the process up to the finer details. Despite the summer heat during the wedding day, she delivered the ceremony smoothly with mix tones of humour and Intimacy. All the guest are very happy. Highly recommended!!!!
Shane
If you're looking for someone who is warm, welcoming and professional, you should call Cath.
From our first meeting with her to our much anticipated moment of "I do", Cath made our whole wedding ceremony planning process a breeze. She was patient and understanding and knew how important it was to us to have our wedding ceremony be balanced with the requisite legalities but at the same time be filled with love and laughter.
Cath, thank you so much and we are so grateful you were there to help us tie the knot!
My husband and I are very lucky to have found Cath as our celebrant. She has been lovely to deal with and made the ‘getting married’ process as stress-free as possible for us.
Communication with Cath was also made extremely easy, she was very quick to reply to any emails I sent her, and when she promises that she will do something, regardless of whether big or small, trust that it will be done.
She took time to go through with us what to expect on the day of the wedding, did a mock walking down the aisle with us, which really helped put our minds at ease.
Thanks Cath for your professionalism throughout our planning process, you are definitely someone we can rely on and I can’t wait to recommend you to my family in the near future!
Cath was an absolute dream to work with. I had seen Cath’s work when she officiated the weddings of two of my dearest friends whom had nothing but positive feedback about her.
When it came to planning our own wedding, Cath was a natural choice for us. Cath made us feel at ease from day one with her friendly and down to earth nature. She’s incredibly organised and detail orientated, Most importantly, she was informative and very responsive to any queries. We highly recommend her services. Thank you for everything Cath!
Cath is always the professional but also a very friendly person who makes you feel at ease. She works so hard to personalise your wedding and is always so caring and thoughtful. I have worked with Cath on weddings and I really enjoy the experience – she is personable and keeps all the guests entertained. I would recommend choosing Cath for your wedding day as you get the whole package – professional and personalised!
I look forward to working with you again Cath.
Thank you to Catherine Flavell, our celebrant, you did an amazing job. The way you spoke about mum was like you knew her yourself. Thank you all so much.
Lyrian Kennedy
As a Wedding Decorator, I have worked with Cath on numerous occasions and highly recommend her outstanding service as a Celebrant. Cath conducts a very beautiful and professional service with her pleasant personality and is well sought after in the industry.
Thank you for today, everything went so smoothly thanks to you. We are so lucky to have met you and I hope we meet again. Take care, lots of love…

Morning Cath
A huge thank you from our family for all your support and understanding during the recent loss of our dear friend Bruce Chong.
You have a beautiful way of making a tough process a little easier and we are all truly thankful. Everyone who attended the celebration of his life have commented on your caring and supportive approach - amazing !!! - also thanks for forwarding me a detailed copy of the service.
Take Care

We had the most amazing and professional support from Cath. What started out as a “simple” ceremony became very complicated with Filipino touches added. Somehow Cath kept us on track and accommodated the changes even driving to the accommodation we were staying in to have a rehearsal the night before the wedding.
The ceremony was truly beautiful and could never have gone as well as it did without her excellent support. Thank you so so much!!!
Howie and Mheng
Cathy, on behalf of our family, we appreciated greatly the presentation and tribute that you gave to mum on our behalf. And our family friends expressed their appreciation about the way the Christian gospel message of hope was presented so gently and positively in the service, and mum’s wishes to know Christ and her willingness to partake in prayers was told to all, even my elder sister noticed the message and its warmth and hope.
Though Aunty Yin could not understand much English, she recognised the hymns that were played and the Lord’s prayer. Thank you again. May God shower upon you and your family with every blessings.
William
Hi Cath
Thank you so much for all that you have done for us for the beautiful ceremonies. Everything was just perfect. Much love to you from all of us
Mel
Dear Cath,
I can’t thank you enough for your time and all the help you gave me to prepare the Mass for Peter’s funeral. It went well and was a lovely Mass. I feel Peter would have been proud of me for giving him a wonderful send off. Thanks again.
Love Carol x
Cath was my brother and sister-in-law’s celebrant at their wedding many years ago and from that day, I knew I had to have her one day at my wedding!
The ceremony included all the legal formalities with humour that got all my guests laughing. From my initial contact, Cath was prompt and replied within the day with ALL the details you need. She is warm, professional and takes a lot of pride in her work. I could not recommend Cath enough! Even my guests told me how impressed they were with Cath’s services!
Thank you so much, Cath for being part of our special day!
Jeffrey Bros Funeral Services have had the honour to call Cath one of our wonderful working partners she has been working with us over the last 10 years. We have entrusted many of our beautiful families with Cath to help honour and celebrate the love and life of their dearly departed loved one.
Cath has given her professional and expertise as well as her heart to deliver a fitting and beautiful service to each and every family.
We recommend Cath and love her for her true dedication and care that she gives every time. We consider her a part of our family
Thank you so much Cath and your lovely hubby! You have been an amazing wedding vendor, you were always there when we contacted you no matter what odd hours in the day or night and knew what we needed before we knew it ourselves. Thank you!!
George and I look forward to catching up when we get back from our honeymoon.
Thank you for a lovely and dignified service Cath. Family was extremely grateful.

No words can describe the amount of effort Catherine put into our civil ceremony. After meeting Catherine for the first time where she helped put our plans in writing, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders.
Catherine was very reassuring that everything would work out as planned which in turn made it less stressful. She worked with us to create a very informal civil ceremony in the time frame that we had, she was also very accommodating to our last minute changes to due to our culture and traditions. I would recommend her to all our family and friends in a heart beat. I'd give her 10 out 5 stars if it were possible.
Cath,
Thank you for all you did for mum’s funeral. We are so very happy with how it turned out, we felt that it was really “her” and we have had so many compliments.
Terri & family
Cath was amazing! Very caring and good with small details. We loved she was bilingual. Our ceremony was stress free and she was very accommodating to our needs. We recommended her to our friends and family. It was lovely to see her at each wedding over the years. I hope to see her at more weddings.
Hi Catherine
Bernard’s service was a beautiful tribute to him. I sincerely thank you for being there for me and my family, to farewell my brother on his last journey.
Kind regards Edmond and family
Made it easy and simple, made us feel so comfortable. Thanks to Cath, our ceremony went as beautiful as I could have hoped for, thank you so much.
Ladies,
Thank You sooooooooooooo much for your support during this emotional time and your assistance in preparing the arrangements for the funeral of my mum "Hazel Mannion". There is no doubting your assistance helped my father, myself and family members during this terrible time.
I honestly can't fault the service you provided and will gladly recommend Guardian Funerals and you Cathy to other family member and friends when the need arises.
Love and Thanks,
The Mannion Family
(email addressed to Funeral Director as well)
Catherine is a nice, relaxed and friendly person with a good sense of humour. Yet, at the same time, Cath is very professional and in our case, her attention to detail meant that all documentation was correct and in place.
Ruth and I had the ceremony at Catherine's house, where she has a light and pleasant area set aside for this purpose. For anyone seeking a professional Celebrant with a warm and friendly personality, we highly recommend Catherine Flavell.
Caspar and Ruth.
Cath conducted our civil ceremony over the weekend - and we couldn't be happier with how it played out!! From the moment we met her Cath was incredibly warm, professional, and just a joy to talk to - and with her help we were able to incorporate both humour and sincerity into our wedding. If you are looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding uniquely 'you,' we would wholeheartedly recommend Cath!
