Celebrate with Kate

Relevant and vibrant... Marriage Celebrant & MC And I just love it to bits! I don't have a template folder of about 5 or so ceremonies for you to choose from.

When I got married 10 years ago now, I found it hard to find a young celebrant, who understood what we wanted, listened, got it, and performed the wedding the way we wanted.... So I decided to become one! I write every ceremony just for you, just the way you want it. Never dull or boring.... Do you want humour? I can do that... Do you want romantic? I can do that as well. Want a bit of both and so

mething unique? Perfect! The stuff the lawyer says you need to know....

The Celebrant agrees:

To attend and conduct the ceremony, at the agreed time, date and place. To comply with all legal requirements of the Celebrant including in the case of marriage ceremonies, lodgement of documents in the prescribed form and within the prescribed time

Attend arranged meetings and rehearsals at the agreed time date and place

If the Celebrant is unable to conduct the ceremony for any reason, the parties will be advised as soon as practicable and all reasonable efforts will be made by the Celebrant to arrange for the ceremony to be completed by another authorised marriage celebrant. If the Celebrant is unable to perform the marriage ceremony to the above parties

(a) Refund to the parties in accordance with refund policy; and

(e) Alternative method as agreed in writing with the Celebrant; and
(f) Acknowledge that if full payment has not been made to the Celebrant in accordance with these terms then the Celebrant will not attend the ceremony. (g) That the refund of any paid fee is at the discretion of the Celebrant. In the case of a marriage ceremony, to provide the Celebrant with all original documentation requested no later than 48 hours prior to the wedding day, including any accredited translation documentation requested by the Celebrant. Unless other arrangements have been agreed upon by both parties and recorded in writing or electronic messages, if the Parties fail to provide all documentation requested to the Celebrant no later than 48 hours prior to the day of the ceremony, the Celebrant reserves the right to not proceed with preparations for the ceremony and not officiate at the ceremony. To advise the Celebrant immediately in writing of any change to the time, date or place of the ceremony. The Celebrant reserves the right to terminate the agreement and retain the booking fee should she be unable to conduct the ceremony due to the change. If the ceremony is to be changed to the alternative venue due to inclement weather, then one of the Parties is to inform the Celebrant personally by telephone/ SMS by a time nominated previously by the Celebrant to ensure the Celebrant has sufficient time to travel to the alternative venue. Notice of cancellation of ceremony must be given to the Celebrant in writing, and the Celebrant reserves the right to retain the booking fee and other amounts paid. That the celebrant reserves the right to leave the place of the ceremony 20 minutes after the agreed start time if one or both parties have not arrived or the ceremony cannot proceed for any reason outside the Celebrant’s control. That in the event of the above occurrence, the Parties will liaise with the Celebrant to mutually agree on a later time and place for the Celebrant to solemnise the marriage for an extra fee, payable in advance. The parties undertake to provide the Celebrant with accurate information, and acknowledge that any false statement or declaration may render them liable to prosecution penalties for which may include imprisonment.

Where have I been?

15/08/2023

Well that is now 8 years in a row… humbled is an understatement!
I started my small business 10 years ago, because I fell in love with the wedding industry when I was planning my own wedding. Not once in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be winning this award year after year after year… THANK YOU!
Thank you to my beautiful couples who vote… couples that I get the HONOUR of being their celebrant, couples who become my friends - THANK YOU! Forever grateful.
Congratulations to all of the finalists on the Central Coast, we really do have the best of the best on the Coast! 💜 Kate x

11/08/2023

So as we are about to roll into wedding season starting mid August things start to get super crazy for me - think Christmas at the shops on crack x10!!! Not kidding... I kiss my family good bye and say, “see you mid December!” - so with that in mind, and people needing to see me, I thought I’d send you a reminder to book in your catch up appointment- DM me today! 💜 Kate x

10/08/2023

So this is me taking a business call... yep in my car! Yep out the front of my house! Yep, I was in the house, and left the house to make the call.... We have lots of young kids, and so my house is noisy! The best way to contact me for non urgent matters are FB, email or sms... but as I tell all my couples, “if you need to talk to me, let me know and I’ll drop everything, lock myself in the car and call you straight away” - it’s honestly the only way I will hear you if I’m at home! 💜 Kate

09/08/2023

STOP!!!! if you’re looking for a celebrant - you’ve found me!!! I’m Kate, and I absolutely love my job. It truely is the best job in the world and I want to marry you... well not actually you, I’m already married - but I would love to be your celebrant and marry you and partner! But be quick - loads of other couples have already locked me in, and 2023 dates are nearly gone. Get in touch to see if yours is still available, and if you’re looking to get married in 2024 hit me up! 💜 Kate

I ways chat to the bride when she first arrives... I believe the first face she should see is mine, followed closely by the photographer when she arrives at the ceremony venue. This is a time where I put any nerves to rest and make sure you are runway ready! I also chat with the bridesmaids and give them their runway tips! Everyone will be all smiles and relaxed before anyone hits the aisle! 💜 Kate x

07/08/2023

So what actually needs to happen legally on your wedding day.... On the day of your ceremony...

First up we need two witnesses who are aged 18+

I will:

👉🏻 Introduce myself and state what I’m there to do - that I am legally authorised to solemnise marriages according to the law.

👉🏻 Recite the Monitum

"Before you are married in my presense and in the presense of these witnesses,
I am to remind you of the solemn and binding nature of the relationship of which you are now about to enter."

👉🏻 Explain how marriage in Australia is defined:

"Marriage in Australia is the union of two people, to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life."

Then the two of you will say the legal vows

👉🏻 I call upon the persons here present to witness that I, FULL NAME, take you, FULL NAME, to be my lawfully wedded husband/wife/partner

Then...

Both of you, me and your two witnesses will sign 3 marriage certificates

1. you keep one (the pretty one)
2. I keep one
3. And BDM keeps one

👌 Oh and I put kick arse ceremony around all that so it’s not flipping boring, dull or stuffy! We want some nawww moments as well as some giggle or even full on can’t breath from laughing to much - cause who wants boring? Not me 🤣🤣🤣 💜 Kate xx

FYI 💗💗💗💗

How to change your surname after marriage...

This is something I chat about with all my couples, when we are doing the legal paperwork, but sometimes that is filled out months and months before, even up to 18months before so it's easy to forget... Heck I can't even remember what I had for breakfast most days!

Changing a bride’s (or groom’s!) last name after you get married is pretty straight forward... On your wedding day your celebrant will present you with a Marriage Certificate 'it's the pretty one' you take that home to put on the fridge 😳 Ok well in a frame above the fireplace?
On your wedding day, the moment I declare you husband and wife you can change it on Facebook, Twitter etc but that's about it for that moment. After all, you drivers licence is still the same.... So technically you are still known legally by that name...
Your 'pretty marriage certificate' will not be accepted to change your name, however, it IS a legal document and can never be replaced. So look after it! So maybe above the fireplace isn't the best spot for it! You need to request for another marriage certificate from Births Deaths and Marraige. Here is the link:

https://onlineforms.bdm.nsw.gov.au/marriage_details

When you receive that Marriage Certificate (it's boring... Looks just like a birth certificate) you can can go to the Services NSW, Passport office, bank, Medicare and others, and present your Marriage Certificate and they will accept that as proof and change your name for you...

Clear as mud? Thought so! 💜 Kate

P.s. Don’t book honeymoon flights under the wife-to-be’s new name. She doesn’t have identification for that new name yet and FB won't cut it...

04/08/2023

👀 Spot the difference... 2 very beautiful bridesmaids...

💗 bridesmaid 1. was from a wedding I did, and 2. was not... both gorgeous girls... but there is a huge difference here...

I always have my bride and her girls 💯 runway ready... I have tips and tricks to make sure you all walk down that aisle like you own it - like a super model, ozzing confidence and sass! 💜 Kate x

04/08/2023

Hey I'm Kate! I'm a wife, mum to a young family, a bit of a gym ju**ie, Young Living brand partner, love to travel, love great food and great wine and most importantly to you..... a kick arse, multi award winning marriage celebrant on the beautiful Central Coast!

Im pretty passionate about great marriage ceremonies and have perfected my ceremonies over the last 10 years. I have now done over 1500 legal marriage ceremonies, MC’d 100’s and 100’s of weddings and other events. I love weddings and everything that goes with that. From a legals only ceremonies right through to a wedding with all the bells and whistles - the reason why??? Because I love marriage... the beautiful fact that two peeps can find each other and say “I think you’re cool, I love you flaws and all, I just wanta spend the rest of life with you” - how frickin awesome is that! 💜 Kate xx

03/08/2023

I often asked “how in advance should we book you Kate?”... well today I had two couples enquiry for 2025 and I had to decline both as I was already booked... makes me sad, as both brides, had been following my page for years, but just hadn’t secured their date yet. Don’t be late, book in and avoid disappointment. 💜 Kate xx

01/08/2023

Tip for today.... it's a good idea to keep your guests hydrated with cold bottles of water. The guests are normally there at least 30mins before the time you put on your invitations, making for a long time in the sun... Your guests will appreciate it and so will your celebrant 😉 💜 Kate

01/08/2023

Bridesmaids........is there ever a perfect number? Do you ask all of your "besties" to be in the bridal party? What about your sister or SIL? Or........could you opt for no bridesmaids?
How many is too many? What do you think? 💜 Kate x

29/07/2023

Spring and Summer brides... have you booked in your final meeting with me? don’t delay, let’s get that booked in 💜 Kate x

28/07/2023

I love this photo from a wedding I did... I could be standing in the garden, by myself, reading my iPad... but I’m not - I’m mid ceremony... and I love that you can’t see the bride or the groom or the bridal party - why, you might ask? Well if I’m here by myself, it means I’m not smack bang in the middle of their photos... now I know my clients pick me cause they love me (and I love them too!) but let’s be realistic, you won’t even remember my name, 20, 30, 40 plus years down the track, so I really don’t need to be in all your photos... it’s about your memories. Show the grandkids photos of both of you, not you and me.
💜 Kate P.S. photographers love that I’m out of the way.

Pulling this photo back out of the Archives, cause it still cracks me up!

If you are looking for an uptight and boring wedding ceremony - then don't book Me!

If you want an amazing wedding ceremony and a celebrant who pulls faces 🤦‍♀️you absolutely need me in your life and should book me as soon as you set the date!

Photo cred to Jodie Reardon Photography who always gets the most stunning photos of the couple and absolutely the most hilarious ones of me - and I wouldn’t want it any other way! 💕

But first we selfie! In Far North Queensland!
Megan and Mitch are MARRIED!
I have no words to describe how incredibly grateful to M&M for asking me to be their celebrant for their wedding… flying me all the way to Palm Cove, a couple of night’s accommodation and my expenses paid! No words!
And what a magic afternoon it was! Stunning does not do this place justice… just everything! Chapel, palm trees, water, weather! Amazing…
So many laughs during their ceremony, thanks to their brilliant homework along with a balance of nawww moments… and of course there was happy tears!
One of the beautiful things about this wedding was, everyone travelled to be there, so they REALLY wanted to be there… which cut out those who were only coming for the free beer! Don’t shoot me! You know it’s true… some are there just for the free booze… but not at this one. There was such a buzz in the air because every guest, were in holiday mode and there to celebrate Megan and Mitch!
Megan and Mitch, I honestly wish we could do it again! Thank you, doesn’t cut it. I can’t wait to see what your future holds for you both. Megan, keep cooking dinner and Mitch, do the dishes 😘
I wish you both all the happiness that life can offer 💜 Kate x

Caption this…. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

23/07/2023

Question time...

What do you think is the ideal length for a wedding ceremony.... this includes, bride walking down the aisle, ceremony, signing of paperwork then groom and bride walking back up the aisle....

Comments are also welcome! 💜💜💜

23/07/2023

So this happened the other day, and I’ve been so swamped and playing catch up after my destination wedding last week….
But I am excited to announce that Celebrate with Kate is a finalist in the Australian Wedding Industry awards in the Celebrant category and MC category!
Truely humble to have made it here! Thank you to my beautiful couples for voting for me. What a privilege it has been for me to be involved with your special day, so to have awarded a finalist position, gives me all the warm fuzzy, goose bump feels! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
The winners will be announced next month 💜 Kate x

23/07/2023

It’s a beautiful day to be married!
What an honour to be here… one of my brides from this wedding worked in the wedding industry for a VERY long time, and out of the amazing celebrants on the Coast she asked me! What? WOW!
I never take my role as a celebrant lightly, I’m always humbled when couples ask me, but especially so for this one! 💜 Kate x

19/07/2023

Just putting things in perspective with the cost of a wedding.... the only wedding supplier you actually need to be married is a celebrant (or a minster, pastor etc) but I’m probably going to be one of the most affordable things that you spend money on your wedding day... Just saying... 💜 Kate xx

17/07/2023

Spring couples.... it’s time to book in another planning meeting.... let me know when suits 💜 Kate xx

17/07/2023

I get asked this soooo often...It is 'tradition' for the bride to stand to the left at the altar. The tradition actually is from the old days of "marriage by capture", when the groom needed to leave his right hand (his fighting hand) which he used to hold his sword - free in the event that he should need to defend his bride from other suitors who may try to wisk her off at the last minute.

Most couples still choose to stand with the groom on the right, but I honestly don't mind... I’m anything but traditional… so you do you! 💜 Kate

16/07/2023

When I first get an enquiry from a couple, often they will ask what is included... Which including the stuff you would expect from a celebrant eg: the legal stuff also includes a personalised bespoke, non stuffy, not boring ceremony, that includes some giggles as well as some naww moments... A ceremony tailored to suit you!

Sometimes couples will then go on to ask do I include chairs, red carpet, signing table, decorations, the kitchen sink, you get the drift... The answers to those questions is a big fat NO! 🙅‍♀️

Why not? After all some celebrants do... Well that's because I'm friggin awesome at being a celebrant! That means the legal stuff for you to be married and a brilliant ceremony that will start your wedding off in the right way.

Sure, yeah I'm pretty good at decorating, my house looks pretty nice (as nice as it can be, with a tribe of kids who trash the joint!) but that's not what you pay me to do... You choose me as your celebrant because you don't want a celebrant like the rest - you want something more than that, you put a high priority on a really awesome ceremony that's going to reflect you and your partner. A ceremony that your friends and family come up to you and say it was the best ceremony they have been to, and not just 'that was a lovely ceremony' (who just wants lovely) and you know it's good idea to leave the decorating to the professionals in this area! They are the best for this, not a celebrant!

Speaking of which, I have worked with many wedding decorators over the years and there is good and bad. If you would like a list of who we think are amaz just ask us! 💜 Kate

15/07/2023

It’s a beautiful day to be married!
And what a wedding it was…
Megan and Mitch were married at Palm Cove - with all their amazing family and friends…
Originally they had planned to be married in the Hunter Valley, but after a holiday to Palm Cove, they scrapped that idea, and opted for a destination wedding! Stunning!
Every couple that choose me to be their celebrant is always an honour and a role I never take for granted - but when Mitch and Megan asked me to be their celebrant at Palm Cove, and all my expenses would be covered (flight, accommodation, car hire etc) I was extremely humbled - here is a couple that but such value on my role and the work that I do. I’m so very grateful! 💜 Kate x

13/07/2023

Marriage is a solemn and binding relationship. It’s a legally binding... In fact, marriage celebrants are legally required to remind a couple of this during their marriage ceremony. But a marriage ceremony doesn’t need to be all solemn, boring and stuffy... 🙅‍♀️

I encourage laughing! I encourage crying! In fact I just encourage emotion... I’m not a robot and either are you... my favourite parts of a ceremony are not planned, they aren’t rehearsed - they happen spontaneously and can take everyone by surprise, me included! 💜 Kate x

12/07/2023

When picking me as your Marriage Celebrant, we fill out a Notice of Intended Marriage as the first step, with the legal paperwork required to be married. This must be lodged with me NO LATER than ONE MONTH prior to your wedding, but can be lodged up to EIGHTEEN MONTHS in advance. This can be done with me or if you are out of town we have other options.

Your original birth certificate or passport can be used as proof of birth and a drivers licence or other photo ID as proof of your identity. I must sight these before you are married.

If either you or your partner have been married before then the Divorce Papers need to be sighted before you are married. If either of you have been widowed then a Death Certificate must be sighted before you are married.

You are required to have two witnesses for your ceremony. They need to be 18 years old or older. They can be relatives.

Becky and James were married at The Springs Peats Ridge - gorgeous people inside and out. It was my honour to be involved with their special day. 💜 Kate XX

10/07/2023

My tip and reminder for the day...Lay off the grog before your ceremony. Celebrants are legally not able to marry you if you’re intoxicated. Sure have a glass to calm the nerves a little and as long as you can drive your car (legally) we are good to go! 💜 Kate x
