Ceremony Packages

“Legals Only” Ceremony

(Mon-Thur Only)

$650

  • There are many reasons that couples need a “Legals Only” ceremony, like planning to have an overseas wedding one day, but wish to legally married in Australia. OR you are having a religious and cultural wedding ceremony, that is not legally recognised in Australia. OR the expense of a wedding is unaffordable at the moment, but it’s important to be legally married, sooner rather than later. 
  • Once all the legal paperwork is complete, the Legals Only Ceremony is really simple and super quick. All it takes is about 140 words and 2 minutes, to be legally married in Australia! I need to say some legal words; then you both need to say the legal vow….. paperwork and certificates are signed…. and thats it!!! Done!!! You are married!!  You will need ONLY 2 witnesses over 18 years of age  (For a small fee, I can provide 1 or 2 witnesses) and it can be done anywhere… in your home, in your car, in a bar/restaurant, or anywhere you like!
  • All legal paperwork is taken care of, including online marriage registration.
  •  Travel within 50km radius of my Gymea Bay office. (Extra travel will apply outside the 50km radius)bar

“Super Sweet” Package

$1100

 
  • Introducing my “Super Sweet” package. Its a “ready-to-go” ceremony that keeps things sweet and streamlined, yet focusing and celebrating  on what truly matters. Created with couples in mind who prefer to skip their “Love Story”.  I totally understand that everyone has their own reasons why and that’s perfectly okay! 
  • I will, however, encourage you to infuse your ceremony with your personal touch by selecting one of my vows or writing your own. You’ll have access to my “Ceremony Pack” which includes a variety of vow samples along with my “Tips and Tricks” for crafting your personal vows, if that’s something you’d like to explore.
  • Includes up to 2 Face-Face meetings and video meetings/phone/text/emails.
  •  All legal paperwork is taken care of, including online marriage registration with NSW Births Deaths and Marriages. (If you wish to order your Official Marriage from NSW Births Deaths and Marriage, I can do that for 2 months after your wedding for $65)
  • I use a “super loud” professional Mipro PA, which has Bluetooth if you would like to use your own music for the ceremony. 
  • Travel within a 50km radius of my home in Gymea Bay.(Extra travel fee will apply outside the 50km radius)

“The Diamond Package”
Anything you like!

$1250

  • Introducing the Diamond Package – my ultimate “Bells and Whistles” experience! This comprehensive package features a personalised, full-length ceremony where your unique “Love Story” takes center stage.

Let’s make your big day shine with laughter and love!

Funerals

  • When the time has come to plan your loved ones farewell, Catherine is well equiped with compassion and empathy, to create a meaningful ceremony that will capture and honour your loved ones life, with dignity and respect.
  • Catherine has innate communication and listening skills, knowing the right questions to ask while at the same time, understanding and respecting that it is a difficult time for you. She is able to guide you through, step by step, with everything that is required for the service, and can assist you with advise for the eulogies and other elements of the service.

Your Sydney Celebrant-Catherine Kennedy

Hey lovely people! For over 16 years, I've had the absolute pleasure of being a marriage celebrant and let me tell you, it's not just a job, it's my calling! Being a celebrant fills my heart with so much joy and fulfilment that I never knew was possible. The best part of my job? Working with my couples to plan their perfect ceremony, however that may look, and then seeing their gorgeous smiling faces on the happiest day of their lives! Being a celebrant isn't just about fulfilling a role, it's about being a part of a magical moment in the lives of two people in love. And let me tell you, there's nothing better than that feeling!

"Thank you Catherine for being part of our special day! Upon first meeting you, we knew we needn't look further for our Marriage Celebrant. Your beautiful down to earth personality, guidance and professional organisation of our ceremony, was so very appreciated."

Steph and Brent
They have already shared 6 years of love and life, and this morning they promised to share their rest of their life together. ❤️❤️ 

Congratulations Alison and Gabriela. 💕💕

What an honour to marry you while we live streamed to your loved ones in Brazil. I bet they can’t wait to see you for your big wedding celebration in 12 months time. 🇧🇷
Courtney and Joel’s perfect wedding @loxleyonbellbirdhill was like a wedding in treetops. 🌳
And judging by this photo, we were all so very in the zone, or we simultaneously decided to meditate... or maybe we were just blinking at the same time 😂. Either way, it made for a lovely photo! ❤️

Married with that iconic Sydney Harbour view, the soft sounds of a harpist drifting through the air… and yes, actual bunnies hopping through the bushland like something out of a fairytale 🐰🌿They are  the unofficial venue residents! 🐰✨

Surrounded by their favourite people, these two promised forever — and even Yvette’s beautiful Nanna in NZ was part of it all, watching via livestream and receiving a big wave and warm welcome from us at the start 💞

When breathtaking views, surprise wildlife, and heartfelt moments combine... that’s when the magic happens! 

Congratulations Yvette and Dane! Here’s to their Happily Ever After! 🥂

It rained all morning yesterday… but right on cue at 11:30am, the skies cleared just long enough for Katalina & Dara to say “I do” under moody skies at beautiful Oak Park, Cronulla.
Just the two of them, their witnesses, and loved ones watching via livestream all the way from South America.
Intimate. Romantic. Perfect. ❤️❤️
So, so good!

✨ Nicky & Brendan ✨ at the stunning @bendooleyestate—one of my absolute fave venues in the Southern Highlands!

There was SO much to love about this gorgeous couple and their wedding, and their emotions have been captured so beautifully by @cassandraladru & @story_of_us ❤️📸

Nicky’s lovely dad couldn’t be there in person, but thanks to the amazing team at @ceremonycast, he was right there via live stream for both the ceremony & reception.

One of the most emotional moments? Watching beautiful Nicky walk down the aisle solo—just moments after a video chat with her darling dad. ❤️❤️ Truly a moment to remember.

Such a special day. 💕✨ #bendooleyestatewedding #southernhighlandsweddings #emotionalmoments
