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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don’t even know where to begin with Kate. She was such an integral part of our day and made it truly special.

But not only for the ceremony, but even when we first started speaking to Kate and the process involved, she was so patient and knowledgeable, it helped us so much.

Kate also took the time to get to know Dylan and I, and it showed during our ceremony. All the guests kept commenting that they loved how personal it was, and it was all thanks to Kate.

Kate was also so amazing on the day making sure we were calm and had everything we needed. She also was incredible and involved our doggies which are the loves of our lives.

We cannot thank Kate enough and we will be recommending her to everyone!! ❤️

After meeting at a music festival five years ago, Sophie and Nathan knew they’d found something truly special in each other. Two fun-loving souls who connected instantly ~ and never looked back.

Their wedding day was nothing short of magic. Pure joy, big love, and that “still only eyes for each other” kind of energy!

My wife and I chose Kate as our wedding celebrant and couldn’t have been happier with our choice.

Kate takes the time to learn your story over coffee catch ups. Every detail is explained, she provides great advice for vows and supports you every step of the way.

We were so happy we found Kate over social media.

She is a star.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have no words to describe how perfect Kate was for our special day, we know we can only score /5 but she is definitely 10/5.

Kate was everything we could have hoped for in a celebrant. From the very first meeting, she was warm, professional, and genuinely invested in making our ceremony personal and meaningful.

On the day, she struck the perfect balance ~ engaging and light-hearted without ever making it about herself. She brought humour without being over the top, making everyone feel comfortable and connected.

We had so many guests comment on how fantastic she was! If you’re looking for a celebrant who is down-to-earth, organised, and knows how to create a heartfelt but fun ceremony, Kate is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more!

My face when my family reminded me how old I’m turning this week…

But truly ~ getting to celebrate another lap around the sun is a privilege not everyone gets, and I never take it for granted. I love a birthday, and I’m so ready to soak up a few days of fun, love, and connection 🥳

I’m officially off the mic until Monday, with lots of beautiful plans ahead ~ and one of my besties arrives from Queensland tomorrow. I can’t wait!

Here’s to filling my cup in all the best ways.

Grace & Will ~ a love so deeply connected.

Their day was nothing short of whimsical magic, their hearts completely entwined.

From start to finish, they only had eyes for each other.

A fairytale, lived.

Sydney and Matt ~ two incredibly kind humans ~ shared the most lovely, intimate celebration at Chapter Barn with their nearest and dearest!

There were laughs, tears, and the sweetest moments with their beautiful little boy, Callum.

Loved being part of special day Syd and Matt xx

Kate married us in December of 2024 at Chapter Barn and we can’t say enough kind things about her!

From the beginning she was so warm, easy to talk to and get along with, super accommodating and flexible with her availability to make things work for us and our family.

Kate gave us guidance on the flow of the ceremony and our vows and had no issues answering any of our questions. The ceremony and whole day went perfectly and we couldn’t be more grateful to have had Kate as our celebrant.

She’s an absolute delight and very good at what she does!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We were so happy with our choice to have Kate as our celebrant for our wedding.

Kate exceeded our expectations on all fronts! Kate was so warm and it was so easy to build a strong connection with her in the lead up.

Kate told our story perfectly and her genuine, natural demeanour came shining through on the day which gave it a great feel. A lot of our guests even mentioned it to us the very next day.

Kate was a pleasure to work with and so helpful especially when it came to the vows. Could not recommend more highly.

Alice and Jack are pure sunshine ~ I knew their wedding would be something truly special and it did not disappoint.

From the breathtaking florals that Alice grew herself to the overwhelming love that surrounded them, their celebration was a perfect reflection of who they are. Their heartfelt vows, the joy in every moment, and the incredible team that helped bring it all together made it nothing short of magic.

Alice and Jack ~ may your love continue to flourish like the gardens you nurture, deepen with every shared laugh, and shine as brightly as the golden light that surrounds you. May you always keep chasing sunsets together and finding beauty in every new horizon.

And one day, when your love multiplies and takes on new, beautiful forms, may you look back on this as the beginning of it all!

Rain, hail, sunshine + wind ~ Alex and Dan’s day had it all! But no matter what the weather threw their way, nothing could take away from the love, the laughter, and the unforgettable moments that unfolded at Chapter Barn on Saturday.

After nine years together, there hasn’t been a single day they haven’t spoken. Alex + Dan can talk about anything, laugh about everything, and never hold a grudge. In fact, the only real argument they’ve ever had was trying to buy Taylor Swift tickets!

These two are the real deal ~ kind, fun, and completely in sync. It was an absolute joy to be your celebrant and MC, Alex and Dan. Simply the best. Thank you! 🙏

“KIND WORDS”

Hi Kate,

We absolutely loved having you as our celebrant and MC 🤍

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony and that’s all thanks to you. You were amazing and made us feel so relaxed even though the wind tried its best to make things interesting for us.

We had so many comments from family and friends saying how perfect everything was at the ceremony.

We also met your gorgeous daughter the next day at our recovery at Dirty Three! What a small world.

Thanks again for everything we couldn’t be happier xx

Love Alex & Dan

Fun-loving, down-to-earth people are my kind of people! Mia and Jay are exactly that, which made our connection and journey together such a beautiful one!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kate, what can we say except that you were beyond our wildest dreams! From the beginning Jay and I had decided that we wanted someone who was professional, friendly, and warm, and you delivered it all.

The ceremony was by far our favourite part of the day. You told our story perfectly and so many people came up to us after saying it was the best ceremony that they had experienced.

From the first Zoom meeting (where you managed to fit us in while you were on holiday!) until the last moment everything was perfect and we are so beyond grateful!

Emily and Daniel’s ceremony was pure elegance from start to finish. No wedding party ~ just the two of them, standing together, surrounded by those they love most.

Every detail was intentional, every moment deeply felt. A celebration of love in its most timeless and heartfelt form.

✨Why Your Celebrant Matters More Than You Think ✨

Your ceremony is more than a formality ~ it’s the moment that brings everyone together. Sure, the party afterward is incredible, but the way your love story is told, the energy it creates, and the emotions it stirs set the tone for your entire day.

So many of my couples tell me the ceremony was their favourite part ~ and honestly, that fills my heart. When your journey together is delivered with warmth, authenticity, and just the right balance of sentiment and joy, it creates a memory that stays with you forever.

Choosing the right celebrant isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about finding someone whose style, presence, and energy align with yours. The most exceptional storytellers and celebrants often sit on the higher end of pricing ~ but trust me, they bring so much more than just words on the day. They bring heart, guidance, and a level of storytelling that turns your ceremony into something truly unforgettable.

My style? Warm, light-hearted, and deeply authentic. A sprinkle of romance (without the cringe), a touch of fun (without the theatrics), and a presence that makes everyone feel like they are part of something special. I will create a moment that is undeniably yours.

I know budgets can be overwhelming, and sourcing vendor quotes can feel like a never-ending task. But if I can offer any advice ~ think carefully before sacrificing an amazing celebrant based on price alone. A truly great celebrant doesn’t just officiate ~ they elevate every step of the experience, from planning to the big day.

Your love story deserves to be told beautifully ~ because it’s not just a formality, it’s the heartbeat of your day!
