Hi, I'm Kate

I’m based in Sydney and happily married to the love of my life. I think love is absolutely worth celebrating and getting married is about much more than one big day; it’s about choosing your person, bringing people together, and celebrating the beginning of your wonderful future together.

I’ve been a celebrant since 2018 and have conducted more than 500 ceremonies. I love what I do.

Before becoming a celebrant, I spent around 11 years studying meditation and eventually became a meditation coach. In those days, my favourite thing was helping people find their inner calm and navigating challenges such as anxiety. As it turns out, this experience is incredibly useful for weddings, too.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous on your wedding day, but nobody wants those nerves to take over. I’m often told after a wedding that I was a calming presence which I take as a huge compliment. I want you to feel relaxed, looked after, and completely present for the day you’ve spent so much time planning.

I also have a particular appreciation for tradition and the meaning behind it.

I married into an Armenian-Australian family and our wedding ceremony was held in the Armenian Apostolic church where many of the traditions have remained essentially unchanged for around 1,700 years. Talk about tradition! That experience has stayed with me. I believe there’s no single ‘right’ way to get married; what matters is that the ceremony is meaningful to the two people standing in front of me.

Maybe you’d like your ceremony to be intimate and simple, or elegant and grand, or steeped in tradition (navigating customs of both families?), or a loud rollicking party. Whatever it looks like, if particular elements are important to you, then as your celebrant they’re also important to me.

During the planning phase I’ll take care of the legalities, keep everything organised, and guide you through the process without making it feel like a process. I’ll get to know you, listen to what matters to you, and create a ceremony that feels natural, meaningful, and genuinely you.

Then, on the big day I’ll be super organised so everything can run smoothly, and deliver your ceremony with sincerity and warmth.

If this feels aligned, then please get in touch! I’d love to hear about your wedding plans and how together we can make your ceremony amazing.
