How To Get Married

Heres’s how it works. 4 easy steps!

1. Lets Meet!

Lets meet up over a coffee/drink (or Video Call) to chat about your big day and to see if we click! We can start the legal paperwork at this meeting or complete later, as long as its done a  minimum of 4 weeks BEFORE your wedding date! I will explain all 3 stages of legal paperwork to you at our first meeting. 

2. Plan and Paperwork

Once you have locked me in with your deposit, I will send you my “Ceremony Kit”, that will help you make some decisions about your ceremony ie vows, readings etc.
A
pprox. 4-6 weeks before your wedding, I will send you the 1st draft of your ceremony, for your approval/edits.

Kristen and Michael

3. Meet Again

If possible, we will meet up again, approx. 4-6 weeks before your wedding day, or we can have video chat. I will walk you through your ceremony,  step-by-step, minute-by-minute, and I can answer all your questions like: how do we stand for the ceremony; do I hold my flowers the whole time; who holds the rings?

4. Get Married!

Your big day has finally arrived!
I will arrive about 1 hour before the ceremony, with my checklist of things to do and people to meet /brief. All you have to do is turn up looking fabulous and feeling excited; enjoy the ceremony we created together; and then it’s time to celebrate!!

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! ❤️

Nicolette and Josh’s wedding was pure magic! ✨💕 From high school sweethearts to husband and wife—over a decade of love led them to the most incredible celebration at the stunning @redleafwollombi. 🌿☀️ 

The weather was absolute perfection, ☀️and the black tie dress code saw their family and friends dressed to the nines. Who doesn’t love a black tie occasion. ❤️
Congratulations, once again Nicolette and Josh. Such a special honour to officiate your marriage. 🥂

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
