Meet Catherine

Hello! 

And thanks for stopping by to find out a little bit more about me. As a Sydney based Marriage Celebrant with more than 14 years of experience in the wedding industry, there are 2 things I know for sure…

1. I  know more than anything, how important your wedding day is to you! The amazing love and commitment you share with your partner, is something that should be celebrated in your own unique way. (and if it means I need to take off my shoes, so you can get married right next to the ocean or with the water lapping at our feet, then I will. )

2. No two weddings are the same because no two couples are the same, and when I met my couples, I always have this in mind.

There is a saying, “If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life!” And that is exactly how I feel!!

And there is nothing more wonderful than meeting and getting to know a couple; planning and writing their ceremony, to then see their gorgeous excited faces on their wedding day. That is the best!!!!

When I’m not out and about marrying loved up couples, I’m a mum of  two incredible young women who are both taking on the world with incredible gusto. My daughters make me laugh out loud and they make my heart burst with pride! We also have and adore our beautiful and sweet nature Labardor Retriever, Tessie, who has weaved her Labrador magic into all of our hearts, and leaves all of her dog hair on all of our clothes. (Also known as “Magical Fibres Of Love” ) 

We love our weekends away to the Southern Highlands or Central Coast, Friday drinks at our local “dog friendly” micro brewery, (love that and so does our Tessie), mid week dinner catchup with friends, anything on Netflix and we LOVE “Grand Designs”, wine nights around our fire pit listening to everything from the 70’s and 80’s (best music ever) and more recently, early morning dips in the ocean. However, winter is a bit of a challenge… brrrrr.               

So, if  you would like a celebrant who is super organised, energetic, light hearted, (with a cheeky sense humour) and with a modern romantic vibe, get in touch so we can have a chat, video call or maybe meet up  (Obligation Free) for a coffee, tea or a glass of wine. And hopefully I can be “Your Sydney Celebrant” to get you started on your Happily-Ever-After!

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
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

Happy Valentines Day from….. New Zealand. ❤️❤️
Sarah and Caitlin rented an Air BNB in Cronulla to have their wedding ceremony at Oak Park. 

Just Sarah’s children, a few family members and their photographer was all they need to make it official. ❤️ 

And Mother Nature blessed us with a cool breeze (reprieve from the summer heat 🥵) and she kept the rain away too. 
Congratulations once again,  Sarah and Caitlin. 💕 🥂

Nicky and Brendan. ❤️ We had only ever met via Zoom and planned everything else with emails, texts and calls. And we even signed the Notice of Intended Marriage via Zoom. Everything came together just perfectly and it was so good to give them a big hug what I finally met in person about an hour before the ceremony started. 

Nicky’s dad was unable to join us in person so the ceremony was live streamed by the amazing team @ceremonycast 

And I have to say that seeing Nicky walk down the aisle by herself looking like a movie star ⭐️ was one of those moments when time stands still. Just precious. 💖

Congratulations Nicky and Brendan. Here’s to love,laughter and your Happily Ever After ❤️❤️
