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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
