Business description

I am a Wedding Celebrant, but through the years I’ve been many things: a trapeze artiste travelling Europe; an entertainers’ agent and event organiser.  I am a registered nurse, CPR trainer and student facilitator when the time allows. As a Funeral Director I can give you my sincere care and compassion for your loss and help support you while we at Freshwater Funerals arrange everything you need after the death of your loved one. Just a call will give you confidence that your loved-one will be truly cared for. 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 LGBTQI 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 always include the BDM certificate which is a $65, and I will order this for you when I register your marriage. You will receive you official marriage certificate in approximately one week after you wedding My other services include: Child Name Days, Renewal of vows, Memorial & Ashes Ceremonies - Celebration of Life and I will be your Mistress of Ceremonies any special function - Your Wedding Reception, Birthday, Anniversary etc. I will also be there at a difficult time to celebrate the life of someone special at their funeral ceremony. My team offers a complete service of Styling and Arranging your Event. Photography Celebrant MC This combined price is very affordable with lots of choice and versatility. 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 Sydney, Blue Mountains, 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 to any destination. 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 have helped couples with visa applications and shortening of time for their wedding. I look forward to meeting you soon. Warm regards Cate www.sydney.celebrationsbycate.com

    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.
