A 'guiding light' in the moments you need it most. Think of me as ‘a guiding light’ in the moments you need it most.

Hi I’m Kate

I have been involved in the wedding and events industry for nearly 10 years, planning, styling and managing many events through my business Events By Kate. I am so grateful for the past decade as it has lead me to this next chapter of my journey. I did not appreciate what ‘ living your purpose’ meant until I completed my celebrant licence and began officiating weddings and farewell se

rvices (funerals). Whether I am marrying you and your soul mate or helping you honour the life of your loved one, it will be a privilege supporting you in this personal and intimate time.

We are so grateful to have had Kate officiate our wedding. We knew from the reviews here that she was amazing but she exceeded all expectations we held. She truly personalised the ceremony, crafting a script that beautifully reflected our story. Every detail she included felt so authentic to us, making the day even more meaningful.

Her professionalism, warmth, and attentiveness were evident throughout the entire process. She took the time to understand us as a couple, offered to meet with us several times ahead of the big day, and created a ceremony that was both touching and perfectly aligned with our vision.

All of our guests were so impressed by how special and meaningful the ceremony was, and many spoke highly of Kate’s exceptional presence and the way she made the moment feel personal and intimate, but still found the right moments to inject humour and fun.

We can’t recommend Kate highly enough—if you want a ceremony that’s personal, heartfelt, and unforgettable, she’s the best of the best!

Love Sara & John x

Reflecting on an extraordinary year, I’m filled with gratitude. I had the privilege of officiating 65 beautiful weddings, a super cute vow renewal, and my very first international wedding!

In November, I performed my 200th ceremony, and I also had the honour of guiding 12 families through life celebrations ~ a deeply meaningful part of my work that I feel truly blessed to be a part of.

On a personal note, we celebrated 25 years of marriage and had the trip of a lifetime exploring Italy and Greece ~ a dream come true. I’m forever grateful for the chance to experience such stunning places with our girls and very special friends.

A couple of months ago, we were thrown a curveball that was completely out of our control. While it was challenging, it only reminded me of the incredible strength of our family and the unwavering support of the community around us.

As I step into 2025, I’m beyond excited to continue doing what I cherish ~ celebrating love, life, and all the special moments that come with it.

To all my beautiful couples and families who trusted me with your big moments this year ~ thank you from the bottom of my heart. You fuel my passion and make this work so unbelievably rewarding.

Here’s to 2025 ~ let’s keep loving, living, and growing. Happy New Year to all! I hope it’s your best one yet, filled with an abundance of love, health, and happiness ✨🙏

A special moment of Emma and Billy releasing butterflies, remembering all their loved ones who could not be with them on their special day.

It also feels like a perfect symbol for this time of year ~ a reminder that even the most delicate things can bring new beginnings and the beauty of letting go.

May this season bring you peace, joy, and a chance to spread your wings into new possibilities.

Emma and Billy’s wedding was truly something special. Despite a few unexpected challenges, they embraced the day with such grace and positivity, trusting wholeheartedly in the exceptional team behind them.

A huge shoutout to the ever-talented Laura from ~ the level of detail and care she brought to the event was second to none.

The love and energy in the room was absolutely amazing ~ the crowd was engaged, respectful, and so much fun! As the celebrant and MC, I couldn’t have asked for a more delightful group of guests!

Emma and Billy, you are both incredible, and I’m so grateful to have been part of a wedding as magical as yours ✨

Maddie & Matt ~ the happiest couple there ever was!

What a divine day spent at The Peak in Lorne, a place that holds such special meaning to these two beautiful souls.

The Great Ocean Road is woven into their story ~ Maddie spent many happy childhood days in Apollo Bay and Pt. Lonsdale, while Matt has always had a special connection to Lorne. But it was during the six months they spent living there during the lockdowns that they truly realised they could spend every single day together and still want more.

That time in Lorne solidified their bond and became the backdrop for some of their happiest memories. It’s where Matt proposed, and now, where they’ve chosen to begin their next chapter as husband and wife.

Maddie and Matt, thank you for being such a joy to work with and for letting me be part of your incredible day ~ you two are beyond! 😘

Absolutely amazing experience with Kate! From start to finish, she made our wedding ceremony so personal, meaningful, and truly unforgettable.

She took the time to understand our story, and the words she crafted reflected exactly what we wanted to share with our family and friends. Kate’s warmth, professionalism, and calming presence made the entire process stress-free.

She guided us with care through each step, and on the big day, her delivery was heartfelt and genuine. We couldn’t have imagined anyone better to marry us.

Highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond!

One week since becoming Mr + Mrs Murfett!

Married on the land where Claudia’s mum was raised, the day felt beyond special. From the serene setting to the love shared, every moment was calm, sweet, and divine in every way.

Claudia and Curtis said “I do” in a way that was true to them, creating a memory that will last a lifetime.

For Sarah and Ahmad, the Royal Botanic Gardens will always hold a special place in their hearts.

It was here, on one of their very first dates, that they strolled hand in hand, sipped coffee, and dreamed about a future they hoped to share. From picnics to quiet moments with their beloved dog Henry, this garden became a sanctuary of love and cherished memories.

Sarah and Ahmad thank you both for letting me be a part of your journey. Your hearts are as beautiful as your love. 🤍

Kate is an exceptional celebrant! She married my husband and I in October 2024. From the moment we met Kate, we knew she would be the one to officiate our marriage.

Kate is so warm, kind and friendly and her communication and professionalism are second to none. We felt so reassured and Kate made the process so seamless from beginning to end. We feel so blessed to have met Kate and she will always hold a special place in our hearts.

We will always look back on our day and reminisce on what an important part Kate played and the way she perfectly told our love story. Kate you are an absolute gem! X
