OVERVIEW

My Name is Catherine Hogarth, I am a mother of 4 and a young grandmother of 13.

I am an Alternative Celebrant.

Alternative meaning that I will help you make your day special & unique,

by helping to design a wedding of your dreams no matter what it may be.

Wherever your special place may be.

September 2024

Cath was so open minded and adjusted the ceremony to exactly what we wanted. My husband and I had a sunrise hand fastening in the beach. When we told Cath she was completely on board. Cath always checked in on us leading up to the ceremony as well, keeping us calm in those final stretches of wedding planning. She is so friendly and supportive and I will literally always suggest her.

We loved Cath. She made our wedding ceremony so special. It was fully customised to portray us as a couple. And was so full of love. She was accomodating to every change. Her loving and warm nature and good sense of humour made it so much more enjoyable. I could t have asked for a better celebrant.
