Your ceremony kicks off your wedding day, it’s the beginning of the celebrations and everything in it should be authentically you.  

By getting to know you, listening to your stories, understanding what’s important to you, and talking about all the things that make you ‘you’, we design and create your ceremony together. I ask you a whole lot of questions, we brainstorm ideas, and your ceremony starts to evolve. I write your ceremony especially for you, everything in it is authentically you.

If you want your friends and family to really enjoy your ceremony, to feel relaxed, to laugh, cry (happy tears, of course), and be talking about your ceremony long after your wedding day is over, then we need to chat.

Ante and Tim - They walk through life together, so they walked into marriage together too, with all their friends and family cheering them on!! Everybody’s wedding day means something different to them and their relationship. For Ante and Tim, their wedding day was about so many things; it was about celebrating their 10 year anniversary, it was about celebrating the life they’ve already created together, it was about legally formalising their commitment to one another; and it was about sharing that with their beloved family and friends; and most importantly... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ IT WAS ABOUT HAVING AN OBSCENE AMOUNT OF FUN! . So much fun @bojieunfiltered and @timothymuir .

I’m happy dancing because this week marks 10 years as a marriage celebrant!! Sooo what would my ultimate celebration of 10 years as a professional celebrator of love look like? Answer: I would love every couple I've ever married, every fabulous wedding supplier I've ever worked with, all my celebrant friends, small biz friends, and ALL my amazing friends and family in the one room to create one EPIC LOVE PARTY together, and to thank them for all their support over the years (could not have done this without them!!!). BUT that's actually well over a thousand people, that party would be HUGE! And a HUGE logistical challenge. Sooo, then I thought, how can I make this possible? Let's do it online!! In my Insta Stories!! Together we can all create one EPIC LOVE PARTY in my Insta Stories on Wednesday the 26th of Feb!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOW?? Well, on Wednesday the 26th of February you post your EPIC LOVE PARTY story in your Insta Story and tag me @celebrantkate_ck. I’ll share all the posts I’ve been tagged in in my Insta Story and then it will be one EPIC LOVE PARTY, that you’re all part of, in my Insta Stories!! . I’ll be sharing some ideas of what you could post, and how to be a part of the party over the coming days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now THAT’s how I want to celebrate 10 years of celebrating LOVE!! .

Make today a day to celebrate ALL love for ALL people, because every single human is worthy of feeling loved! So whatever love means to you, nurture it every day, celebrate it, and share it always!! . This is the Cavlocks!! They do life and love their way! They love deeply, connect intentionally and have a whole lot of fun along the way! As you can see, they were pretty ecstatic to become husbands! Lots of love to you @adscavlock and Andrew xx .

So much goes into creating your ceremony that by the time your wedding day rolls around I’m just as excited as you are! That’s why there will be big hugs like the one I’m giving John in this photo (if you're not a hugger I totally respect that too!) and I will look THIS excited when I see you arrive - like I did when I saw Steph step out of the car!! I’m there for you to make everything go smoothly, to make sure everyone is relaxed, and to make your ceremony amazing!! You can just enjoy every moment, and your friends and family can too as we kick off the celebrations with a ceremony that is authentically you. .

This is what... connecting with your guests, bringing the relaxed vibes, telling your story, celebrating love and making sure you head back down the aisle on a just married loved up high... looks like!! Can you tell how much I just love every moment!! . All the action captured at Steph and John’s wedding @markdavisphotography and @rachaelmaryfilms @flowersstgermain @coombeyarravalley @larkmusic . #celebrantinaction #connected #present #loveandlaughs #lovestory #lifegoals #couplegoals #wedding #ido #love #melbourne #melbournewedding #allthefeels #feels #ceremonyinspo #relaxedwedding #authentic #lovestory #celebrateyou #liveauthentic #belovedstories #celebrant #celebrantkate #melbournecelebrant
I put my heart and soul into every ceremony I create because I want you to have an AMAZING ceremony!!! I want you to experience THIS, look at these photos of Steph and John’s ceremony! The laughter, the pride, the heart bursting moments and everything else in between!! There’s a lot that happens before your ceremony even starts these makes these moments possible... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Firstly, I ask you a lot of questions! I don’t have a standard list of questions, we just start chatting and I sense where I need to take the conversation to learn as much as I can without making anyone feel uncomfortable. It feels more like you’re hanging out with a friend having a chat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some people have an epic story that’s right there for the telling right from the minute we meet. For others, ‘their story’ isn’t so obvious. There’s nothing huge and monumental, but once we start talking about the day-to-day things they do together we start to uncover the awesomeness of them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I write a whole lot of notes while we’re chatting, even the things that may not seem ‘noteworthy’. When I sit down to write your ceremony I can pretty much remember everything we spoke about which doesn’t mean it all goes into your ceremony, what it means is that I am completely on your vibe when I’m writing your ceremony – it's why I get these wonderful emails that say ‘we just read our ceremony draft and it’s just so ‘us’!! We love it!!” .

Simon and Jade! So much admiration for the life they’ve created together! It takes an amazing amount of dedication and hard work to do a career change and these two did a couple career change!!! When they first met Simon was an accountant and Jade was a hairdresser. In the time they’ve been together they’ve both done an exceptional amount of learning, growing and persevering to NOW be the Pilot and Flight Attendant they are today- and they showed each other unwavering support in achieving those goals. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Simon and Jade know they want to do life together forever. They want to be open to whatever opportunities come their way, travel the world and see new countries,  experience different cultures and consciously appreciate their life. They’re aiming high because they want to be the the BEST Jade and Simon they can be! . Simon and Jade you’re amazing! @queenblonde . Oh and that little yellow plane isn’t just a photo prop … the best man did a celebratory fly over in that after their ceremony!! . #comeflywithme #loveisintheair #loveandlaughs #lovestory #lifegoals #couplegoals #graduates #wedding #ido #love #melbourne #melbournewedding #allthefeels #feels #ceremonyinspo #relaxedwedding #authentic #lovestory #celebrateyou #liveauthentic #belovedstories #celebrant #celebrantkate #melbournecelebrant .

About Me

A lot of people ask me why I became a marriage celebrant, so here’s the background and insight into how I do what I love doing most…

Firstly I love ‘love’ in all its forms, in all the unique ways we express it, and helping you to express it in your celebration.

“Kate was such a pleasure to have as part of our wedding day! She’s professional, warm and made us feel so confident our ceremony would be exactly as we wanted it to be! We had many guests tell us about how great our ceremony was, and we have Kate to thank for that! We can’t speak highly enough! It honestly couldn’t have been more perfect.”

“We cannot thank Kate enough for helping us create a ceremony that was unique and truly us. Kate was so easy to work with and really took the time to get to know us and our love story. Kate brings so much care and professionalism and our guests have not stopped raving about how amazing our ceremony was.

Thank you so much, Alex and Maddy xo”
