What I do

Your occasion, your way

I’m a down-to-earth, organised Marriage Celebrant who enjoys getting to know the people behind every ceremony. We’ll work together to make it personal, comfortable and true to you.

Weddings

A marriage ceremony shaped around your story, your people and what matters to you both.

Legals-only

A simple way to be legally married, with the necessary paperwork and a ceremony that still feels like yours.

Vow Renewals

Celebrate the life you’ve built together and the promises you choose to make again.

Naming Days

A warm welcome for your child, shared with the family and friends who love them.

Commitment Ceremonies

Mark your commitment in a way that reflects your relationship.

Funerals

A thoughtful farewell that honours the person and the memories you share.

The little moments

Room for a laugh, too.

Every ceremony has its important moments, but I love the relaxed ones in between. We’ll make space for your personalities and the people around you.

Meet your celebrant

Hi, I’m Kate.

I’m based in Maroota and have conducted over 250 ceremonies since becoming a celebrant in 2016. I’m known for being organised, easy to talk to and happy to have a laugh along the way.

From our first chat to the ceremony itself, I’ll listen to what you want and help bring it together in a way that feels comfortable for you.

A few common questions

Planning your ceremony

Where do you conduct ceremonies?

I’m based in Maroota and regularly travel throughout the Hawkesbury, including Wisemans Ferry, Windsor and Richmond. I also work across Greater Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Central West.

Can we have a simple legal wedding?

Yes. If you’re after a legals-only ceremony, we can talk about what you need and how you’d like the moment to feel.

Do you only conduct weddings?

No. I also conduct Vow Renewals, Naming Days, Commitment Ceremonies and funerals, each planned around the people involved.

How do we get started?

Send me your date, venue and a little about what you have in mind. We can have a chat and take it from there.
