Everyone enjoyed the day and found out more about us through the humour of our vows which was beautifully summarised by Catherine.

DERRICK & KAREN – WEDDING CEREMONY

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!

DERRICK & KAREN – WEDDING CEREMONY

NITESH & SABITA – WEDDING CEREMONY

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

JEREMY & JOANNA – WEDDING CEREMONY

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!!

BEN & KESYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

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!

BEN & KESYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

MELVIN & PAOLA – WEDDING CEREMONY

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

MELVIN & PAOLA – WEDDING CEREMONY

JOSHUA & MARIA – WEDDING CEREMONY

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.

SIEN KWAN'S FUNERAL SERVICE

Good morning Cath,

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you, as the last couple of days since the funeral has been tough and busy.

Thank you for the offer of a commemorative record of the service however we feel that it’s unlikely to be of interest except to the very immediate family. In any case we have a record of the poems by Linda Rogers and Mary Elizabeth Frye that you read at the service and by the graveside, and which expressed our feelings so eloquently.

Many of our relatives at the wake commented on how well and professionally you conducted the service and the graveside committal – thank you sincerely, it made the parting with our Mum so much easier. We will certainly recommend your services to our friends and relatives for any future celebratory events.

Regards David & Alan

SIEN KWAN

CHRISTIAN & KAI – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath ran through everything and made sure we were happy with every detail. The ceremony was great. A friend in attendance was so happy they are booking Cath for their wedding.

CHRISTIAN & KAI – WEDDING CEREMONY

PHILLIP & ROCHELLE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is simply one of our answered prayers. When me and my husband decided to get married, we had no idea at all on how to pull it through. Cath help us a lot through the process. She made us feel so at ease and made our ceremony just simply perfect. She made the whole process easy and fun. I cant thank her enough for all the efforts she placed in our wedding, making it so special and worth remembering.

PHILLIP & ROCHELLE – WEDDING CEREMONY

MIKE'S FUNERAL SERVICE

Dear Catherine

Today I received by post your note, together with a copy of Mike’s service. Many thanks for sending this on to me. It arrived at the same time as a USB video of the service, which was sent by Mike’s brother in law. May I complement you on the way the service was run, so well organised, with thoughtful words, Mike would have been proud to know that he had so many friends. It’s always a test of friendship to know how many turn up at your funeral!

Kind regards

Greg (resides in Poland)

JOHN & BRITTANY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine was well organised, friendly and knowledgeable. She is exactly the celebrant you are looking for. Due to the knowledge she shared, our ceremony time management was better than planned. Importantly, the wonderful atmosphere Catherine have created in her speech is well memorable to everybody in my wedding day. Watching back the videos, seeing everybody’s emotions that they are happy for my wedding, is all due to Catherine’s well organised speech.

JOHN & BRITTANY – WEDDING CEREMONY

KEEGAN & NANCY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Amazing! Made us laugh, made us cry, but most of all you made our day about us! It’s the personal touch and nothing is too much for Cath! From arranging times to see us, getting all the required forms completed, to just keeping us stress free...

Thank you so much!

KEEGAN & NANCY – WEDDING CEREMONY

PANKAJ & SHRUTI – WEDDING CEREMONY

I highly recommend Cath as she made our special day even more special with her humour and involvement in the whole ceremony.

PANKAJ & SHRUTI – WEDDING CEREMONY

YEE HUI & BIYOU (FROM LONDON) – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is such as great and sweet celebrant! She read all our stories and designed a personalised ceremony for us. We will never forget the precious moment that she gave us. We highly recommend Cath because she is very patient, supportive and considerate.

YEE HUI & BIYOU (FROM LONDON) – WEDDING CEREMONY

RALPH & JOANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

We found out about Cath when we saw a wedding video of a couple with her as their celebrant. Her unique style of adding humour into the ceremony is what really stood out for us and it allowed for a much more engaging ceremony for all involved.

She operates in a very professional manner, every detail, every possible situation that could arise during the ceremony, she had it covered. The process of planning the ceremony just flowed with ease thanks to just how good a celebrant she is.

We highly recommend her for her unique flair and such attention to detail.

RALPH & JOANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

CHRIS & AMY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was so warm, organised and down-to-earth. She provided a folder for us to pick and choose how we wanted the ceremony to run, and we also rehearsed the ceremony, so there was no confusion on the day over what we had to do.

Thanks so much Cath!

CHRIS & AMY – WEDDING CEREMONY

KEVIN & TANYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath's first impression was warm and good humoured, from the moment we met her at her front porch, we knew she would be our celebrant!

The whole process of creating a ceremony was made easy, she gave us plenty of guidance, lots of positive reinforcement and laughs along the way - we even had a rehearsal, which made the big day much more relaxed! All legalities and paperwork in her capable hands, she even brought a signing table and PA system to play our processional music!

Our friends and family loved our ceremony! It was one of the first they'd seen that was both outdoors and conducted by a celebrant - even so, they came to me saying how much they'd loved it, how it had a sense of fun, one of the best they'd seen! Highly recommend Cath, amazing value, and she did a great job facilitating such a memorable moment for us!

KEVIN & TANYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

CHANTHY & LINDA – WEDDING CEREMONY

I love Cath! She is the best celebrant I have ever met, a very warm and friendly person.

I was highly recommended by a few of my closest friends, so making that decision was easy. During our appointments we had many laughs, which made the relationship perfect. I believe it's one of the most important aspects for us, which made it very easy to open up about our relationship and stories of how we met.

Even though we practiced during our appointments, the day came and we totally forgot what we'd rehearsed. Cath was discreetly guiding us through the ceremony. She had also made this a very personal and intimate morning for us. Cath is very prepared for happy tears with tissues on hand for us as well We'll never forget this day, thank you Cath for the sharing our moment with us and making it very special.

Love Chanthy and Linda

CHANTHY & LINDA – WEDDING CEREMONY

SIMON & JOYEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath did a wonderful job for our wedding ceremony in October 2016.

Cath spent the time to go through the whole wedding process beforehand with us from vowels to paperwork to the actual wedding day. Cath also supplies a manual for the wedding so the wedding vowels can be personalised the way we wanted.

Cath showed up on time and made us more comfortable for our wedding day. I highly recommend Cath if you're looking great marriage celebrant with the personal touch.

Thank from Simon and Joyee.

SIMON & JOYEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

MR & MRS SMITH – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was absolutely fantastic. First meeting we had with her she knew exactly what we wanted. Ceremony was fantastic and it was so nice to involve our 5 children in the ring giving. It was simple yet so meaningful. Everything flowed and it was perfect. I would absolutely recommend Cath!

We chose to do the ceremony at Cath's place and it was beautiful. Even her presence was just amazing. I wouldn't change a thing! We done it all in just 30 days and for those who want a simple yet meaningful ceremony Cath is the one!

Thank you Cathy for making our day so special and including our children.

MR & MRS SMITH – WEDDING CEREMONY

DAISUKE & BETA (FROM JAPAN) – WEDDING CEREMONY

We contacted Cath for the first time three years ago when we were both living in Japan. One of our good friends had highly recommended Cath and for very good reason.

Daisuke and I had changed wedding dates and plans numerous times and she was always patient, thorough and kind with working with us. It was a tough job for Cath as we weren't in the country but she was very accommodating to our arrangements.

My husband spoke little English and she made sure that he felt comfortable during the ceremony as well.

If not for Cath, it would have been a very stressful experience. She just made it so easy for us.

I highly recommend Cath to any couple. When weddings can be so stressful, you really need a celebrant like Cath to make it straightforward and simple.

Thank you one million!

Beta and Daisuke

DAISUKE & BETA (FROM JAPAN) – WEDDING CEREMONY

KELVIN AND HELAINE (FROM HONG KONG) – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was amazing. Following my cousin’s recommendation, Cath did another great wedding for our family.

Very professional and provided heaps of assistance throughout the months leading to the wedding. She is absolutely amazing since it was rather difficult to organise weddings from overseas, she even gave me ideas for my wedding! Would definitely recommend Cath to anyone else who are getting married!

KELVIN AND HELAINE (FROM HONG KONG) – WEDDING CEREMONY

JASON AND ANNA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Our wedding ceremony was really lovely thanks in large part to Cath. She is friendly and professional and putting together our outdoor ceremony, including our beautiful dog, was such a breeze with her help and advice.

We were never worried or stressed out about how the ceremony would unfold because we knew that Cath had everything organised and prepared and basically we knew that she had our backs!

Thanks so much Cath.

Anna, Jason and Toby

JASON AND ANNA – WEDDING CEREMONY

K & J – WEDDING CEREMONY

HU MENG’S FUNERAL SERVICE

Dear Cath,

It’s been a very long and emotional week for me and my family. Even though I have lost all three grandparents within the past 5 years, the pain of losing a beloved doesn’t hurt any less. Nor does organising a funeral service, or writing an eulogy worthy of an incredible human being, get any easier.

We want to thank you again for your services. I am truly humbled by your kindness and generosity through this entire process.

Rochelle & family

HU MENG’S FUNERAL SERVICE

PHIL AND LISA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end. Our meetings and communication with her ensured that our ceremony was perfect. Our guests have all said it was the best wedding ever and that is largely attributable to Cath and her attention to detail.

Our ceremony was both meaningful and fun which set the scene for a terrific day. Cath made sure no detail was overlooked and we just couldn't recommend her more highly.

Thank you so very much Cath

PHIL AND LISA – WEDDING CEREMONY

MICHAEL AND MARCELLE (FROM THAILAND) – WEDDING CEREMONY

We are so impressed and satisfied with Cath as our Celebrant. We wanted to be sure that everything was as planned, and we decided to be in Sydney a week early. We found Cath to be so detailed and thorough, knew and understood our relationship, and performed to our interest and objective perfectly. We had such a smooth wedding and great memory, thanks to her diligence, compassion and understanding.

MICHAEL AND MARCELLE (FROM THAILAND) – WEDDING CEREMONY

ZI-YANG AND JOANNE (FROM LONDON) - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is fantastic. We found Cath when I googled English and Cantonese speaking celebrant in Sydney, and although a handful of celebrants came up, we decided to go with Cath after reading reviews and looking through her pictures and videos. She is jolly, patient, down to earth, warm and so easy to talk to - she explained the whole marriage process to us, her role, what is required from us, and seamlessly kept in touch with us through Skype and email in the months leading up to our wedding (as we are Aussies based in the United Kingdom, and went home for our wedding last month).

Our celebrant speech was the right touch of sentimentality and humour, and set the perfect tone for the rest of our wedding day.

Thank you Cath!

ZI-YANG AND JOANNE (FROM LONDON) - WEDDING CEREMONY

PASCAL AND JOCELYN – WEDDING CEREMONY

Super professional and took the time to get to know us as a couple to put together a personalised ceremony. Thanks Cath!
