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!
Hi Cathy,
It was such a pleasure to finally meet you. All my family were all very happy with everything that was discussed and organised. Your guidance has certainly helped us through such an emotional period.
Kind regards
Evelyn
Cath’s after hours availability is a blessing for us. We were able to see her after work and even have our ceremony on a public holiday.
Many thanks Cath!
An & Tam
Thanks so much Catherine for the amazing service provided. The day would not have been as special without you there.

Thank you Catherine for making Sharmaine’s send off perfect yesterday! Happy Easter to you and your family.

Cath was an amazing celebrant for our day, from the moment we met, she put us at ease with everything that needed to get done, and was really organised and detailed in explaining how the day ran, legal docs, and really took care o the formalities to officially get married. She really worked with us as a couple to uncover what type of ceremony we wanted – not too serious, filled with love, and kept it light hearted and fun. We would definitely recommend her!
Hi Cath
Thank you so much for today!! Everyone loved dad’s eulogy, they liked that it wasn’t sugar coated and it was my dad to the T. The way you weaved all of dad’s life highlights was magic. I look forward to receiving a commemorative copy of dad’s service which I’ll treasure forever.

Cath is so friendly, patient and professional especially while dealing with our enquiry. Our wedding wouldn’t have been that successful without Cath!
Hi Cath,
Ron and I wish to thank you so much for last Saturday. You were amazing and the day certainly ran very smoothing with your guidance. We could not have wished for the day as a whole to go any better and was more than we certainly expected.
The ceremony was fun and we have since been told there was not a dry eye in the house… Happy tears of course. It was just the way we wanted to spend with our family and friends and your ceremony started the celebrations off in a lovely way.
We met Cath twice before our laid back Hawaiian themed birthday/wedding and she was so happy and fun to work with.
Cath was great even pretending to be an entertainer so we could surprise our guests and was happy to dress to fit the theme.
Cath made the ceremony fun and light hearted just the way we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Cath made our day and I am so glad we found her.
Dear Cath,
Thank you so much for sending me a copy of the service you did for my brother John. Also thank you for your professionalism, sincerity and thoughtfulness in delivering the eulogy.
Bringing back some nice memories and watching the photos helped to make John’s funeral more tolerable.
Regards
Shirley and family
I would highly recommend Cath as your celebrant. Everything went so smoothly from our first meeting to our wedding day.
She puts very personal touches into the service and Martin and I were so very happy that we chose Ceremonies by Cath for our wedding day. Very professional, friendly and we highly recommend.
Cath helped us plan the perfect wedding ceremony for us. From the very beginning, she was welcoming and made us feel at ease with regards to our ceremony. She was easy going, very patient and accommodating to what we wanted in our ceremony and nothing was too much trouble at all.
She definitely knows her stuff as it showed through how she dealt with our legal paperwork, guiding us on how our ceremony would be written and helping us with other details for our wedding. Her very professional wedding manual full of different samples of vows, readings, blessings and rituals was certainly a welcomed resource for us which made our whole experience stress free.
Thank you Cath for guiding us and making our wedding ceremony a wonderful reflection of who we are.
Stacey and Olga
Highly recommend Cath as your celebrant! Cath explained and helped with so much of our wedding. Her office is filled with information on how the ceremony can be and she customised our ceremony to what we desired giving us plenty of examples to choose from since we had no idea what to do. Most importantly, Cath is professional, friendly, funny, and great to talk to.
Her work is extremely thorough which put us both at ease knowing we are well taken care of. I couldn't be more happy with Cath being our celebrate. It was important that she also was able to speak Cantonese because we had relatives that did not know English, they even gave me feedback praising how well Cath was. She helped make our ceremony a day we will never forget. She was recommended by my sister who also used her as well as my cousin and good friend.
Cathy is an excellent celebrant. She helped us organise our wedding very well. One thing I was really impressed about is her flexibility. My fiancé and I both work full-time so we were not able to see Cathy during the daytime on weekdays, so she'd suggest us to have meetings at 7:30pm on Friday or Saturday during the daytime although she has her family to take care of.
She is considerate, devoted, professional, well-organised and friendly. I highly recommend her.
Cath, where do we start? If it had not been for you we would have been so lost on our wedding day.
Your nurturing, guiding and patient personality saw us through from our very first appointment to the wedding day. You helped us in so many ways in the lead up to the wedding. All of our guests loved our ceremony and commented on how relaxed we both were. Thank you so much for everything, there are really not enough words to express our gratitude!
Cath is the consummate professional! Her genuine warmth friendliness and personal investment ensured that this was a wonderful and momentous occasion. Importantly, her attention to detail was second to none and the support encouragement and reassurance she provided enabled us to have the ceremony that WE wanted for OUR special day, despite last minute changes. As friends but also as clients, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you Cath for your contribution to our journey together.

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
