She was amazing from when we first met her to the big day. Plenty of help with choosing our ceremony. Catherine made it very personal for us. A huge support to a very nervous groom. Communicating with Catherine was very easy and always returned emails promptly. Highly recommend this beautiful lady.

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.

September 2024

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.
