    I am a Sydney wedding celebrant, but through the years I’ve been many things: a trapeze artiste travelling Europe; an entertainers’ agent and event organiser.  Today, I share my role as a celebrant with helping people as a registered nurse in a local hospital as part of the operating theatre team. As a Funeral Director I can give you my sincere care and compassion for your loss and help you through my association with Picaluna Funerals to support you while we arrange everything you need after the death of a loved one. I bring all these life experiences to creating joyful wedding ceremonies and caring funeral ceremonies that celebrate your life or the life of someone passed. The experiences of individuals and those of a couple. I welcome couples from the LGBT community. ​ If you’re looking for a Sydney celebrant with an adventurous spirit, a depth of life experience and a sense of joy and fun, I would love to make your day as special as it can be — whether you want a classic ceremony, beach celebration or to marry in an unusual location or a theme of your choosing. I have a range of prices on my website from a simple elopement wedding at $695 to an extravagant ceremony $1297. In-between there are many options and I can help you make the most of any ideas you have. I can include the BDM certificate which is a $60, and I will order this for you when I register your marriage. My other services include: Child name days, Renewal of vows, Memorial Ashes Ceremony - Celebration of Life and I will MC any special function - Birthdays, Anniversaries or other. I will also be there at a difficult time to celebrate the life of someone special at their funeral ceremony. I am able to help you with decorations, bouquets and planning if required. I have decorations and arches/arbour you can hire at a minimal rate or free if you dress it yourself. Meeting over some refreshments at my home office will allow you to decide if I am the right celebrant for you. I have performed weddings in Perth, Orange, Bowral and The Hunter Valley. Travel and accommodation are not included in my price list, however, I am happy to travel for your wedding. I have performed weddings for people travelling through Australia and wanting to enjoy the beauty of a beautiful outdoor beach wedding while on their holiday. I hope to meet you soon. Warm regards Cate www.sydney.celebrationsbycate.com.au

    Cate made our wedding day absolutely wonderful. From the first point of contact with her, she was always professional, calm and very supportive of the planning process. Our family and friends loved our wedding day too. We recommend Cate highly! We planned our wedding in under one month and it was done with an engaging collaborative approach. Celia the stylist did a fantastic job on the wedding day too. They were a great team to work with. Thankyou Celia and Cate! John and Meli :)

    Thank you John & Melissa for having us celebrate your special day. I’m so glad we were able to connect in with the Colombian family over a video call which made it all the more special. You chose a beautiful spot on curl curl headland.

    We set out to have a ceremony that was personal, simple yet interactive. We wanted a celebrant that made our day fun and put a smile on the faces of our 100 or so guests. Cate Absolutely exceeded our expectations there. The real highlight though was the lead up to the wedding. Cate asks the questions about you to form a story about your love and presents this to the congregation to set the scene. She is so calming and speaks of you as if she has known you a lifetime. If we did it all again, we’d chose Cate and not change a thing. Thanks for everything, you’re a big part of our happy puzzle.
