Cath is an excellent wedding celebrant. She is professional and with a lovely and friendly character. It will be an easy day for you as she is confident in her abilities and is super organised that nothing can go wrong on the day!
Cath was very professional and super organised. We just knew everything would go smoothly on our big day. She even made the effort to conduct parts of our ceremony in Cantonese for our relatives from overseas.
We could not have asked for a better celebrant. We have and will continue to recommend her to any one looking for a helpful, understanding and professional celebrant.
After meeting with family.
Dear Cath,
Our family was very pleased to meet you last night. You have helped us tremendously and we are very grateful. The fact that you also share our background is serendipitous. We feel that you really understood us, and how we want to pay tribute to our beloved father.
My dad would probably have grilled you about the Solomon Islands and people you might have known in common!
Best regards
Elizabeth
Post Funeral Service
Dear Cath,
Deepest thanks for conducting such a wonderful ceremony to farewell our father.
Your professionalism and quiet efficiency greatly helped our family. You respected how we wanted to pay tribute to dad. By doing so, you also showed your respect for Dad.
We will always be grateful for your help.
Many thanks again
Kindest regards
Elizabeth and the family
We were very happy with our choice of Catherine Flavell as marriage celebrant for our wedding day.
From beginning to end Catherine was professional and committed. This made all our dealings with her such a pleasure and put us at ease. Catherine made herself available to answer all our questions big or small and helped us plan what was the perfect wedding ceremony. Her advice was fantastic and covered so many areas that we had never even thought of. When it comes to wedding ceremonies Catherine's knowledge is truly remarkable.
We have recommended Catherine to a number of other couples and will continue to do so
My husband and I have recently renewed our vows as part of our 10 year wedding anniversary, we decided to use a celebrant and selected Cathy. She has a lot of experience and a wealth of knowledge, she asks all the right questions and was able to put together our ceremony exactly how we wanted it.
One the day it poured rain and not only did the location need changing but family and friends were all stuck in traffic, she mingled with the guest kept them informed and calm and before long we would underway.
Everyone present commented on how beautiful the ceremony was. A massive thank you to Cathy.
Hi Catherine,
Thanks again for being so patient and kind to us. You have truly provided a professional service, and we are truly grateful to you.
Catherine is extremely professional and very friendly. From the initial contact through to the completion of our wedding ceremony we always felt supported by Catherine.
The best thing about her was she made our wedding about us, it was so much more personalised then other weddings we have been to.
I highly recommend her, she is definitely the best.
Many thanks
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better Celebrant. Cath had everything prepared to make our wedding preparations that whole lot easier.
She made us laugh and answered any questions we had with an eye for detail. Even though our wedding fell on one of the hottest days of the century, Cathy always had a smile on her face and kept our guests at ease.
I'd recommend her to anyone who will be walking down the aisle soon.
Of all the wedding suppliers that we had to deal with during our year of wedding planning, Cath was definitely one of the best.
Cath's experience in the field meant that she was always one step ahead of the game and was able to provide exceptional quality service. Her expertise in the area, her amazing organisational skills and her attention to detail is something that is extremely important to me, and as a very pedantic person myself, I found that Cath not only met but exceeded all my expectations.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cath to any future couples who are after a professional and very friendly wedding celebrant.
Hi Cath
Just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful ceremony you performed.
Everyone loved it and thought you were fabulous. You made it so easy and relaxed which was exactly what we wanted.
Thanks again.
Helen and Duncan
Hi Cathy,
We just want to say thank you very much for being our celebrant for such an important day. The weather was beautiful as there was no sight of rain which was a big relief.
Everything went so smoothly and easy going that we couldn't help ourselves excitedly smile and yet remain relaxed. The way you had organised the entire ceremony made it so much easier for us, having so many suggestions, options and ideas and that we just had to tell you what we wanted and you were able to make it happen.
The unexpected gift from you was such a surprise, you didn't have to, and it was very nice. We're definitely going to open it up when the baby arrives. Again, just wanting to say "Thank You" - it was such an amazing day and we are both glowing.
Please feel free to use any of this on your testimonials as we recommend you as a celebrant.
Thank You and Kind Regards, Christine
Professional and Personable, Accommodating and Understanding is how we experienced Cath at her best as the celebrant for Our Special Day.
The search and selection for our celebrant was quite daunting, filtering through many pages of possible celebrants, reviewing their profiles & pics...but when we came across Cath's profile a sense of calmness and comfortability came over us, we immediately felt this celebrant(Cath) was the right one for us.
On our meeting with Cath she was so welcoming and just made us feel so comfortable and at ease. We loved that Cath made our ceremony as personalised as we wanted, Cath guided us in preparation for our special day and gave us food for thought for our future.
We are so grateful for all that Cath has done for us and would certainly recommend Cath when looking for a Celebrant. We will definitely utilise Cath's services again in the near future.
Thank you so much Cath!
Good morning Catherine,
Ly and I would like to thank you for all your exceptional assistance, support and friendship through the lead up of the wedding day to the actual ceremony.
As you know we had a lot of commotion with Jessica Watson coming into the harbour and waiting for our guests to arrive. This did not stop you for going out of your way to ensure our guests did not miss the event of a life time and also for me who couldn't be more happier to have had an opportunity to show the world how you may only stop for a moment to allow such a great young girl cross the finish line to only start my journey of love and happiness with Ly.
Your professional and expertise in handling such an eventful day with great poise is a great pleasure having you as our celebrant. We thank you for all your dedication and passion for making us one.
One only thing is that I hope you have investigated the footage from the interview with Ben Fordham. I would love to share this with my family and friends.
Thank you once again.
Cath was recommended to us by a friend who she had also wed and after our experience, my wife and I also highly recommend her.
She was so thorough in her knowledge about the legal aspect of getting married as well as the emotional aspect. Her experiences in being a celebrant helped us to understand how we may react or want our ceremony to be.
Cath truly had her responsibilities as our celebrant under control and left any other stresses to be focused elsewhere for what turned out to be the perfect wedding day!
From the initial meeting with Catherine, my husband and I knew we were in good hands. Catherine is the ideal Marriage Celebrant, she is informative on all legal aspects, professional and very well organised.
During the preparation of our wedding ceremony, Catherine provided her guidance and assistance on everything from our wedding vows, dance lessons, wedding songs choices and even equipment hire. She was always there for us, to help and support us.
On the day of our wedding, the ceremony was simply beautiful and memorable. Thank you to both Catherine and her husband for making our wedding day so perfect. Her sense of humour, warmth and kind nature at the ceremony brought so much laughter, joy and tears on our special day.
My husband and I would highly recommend Catherine to anyone and it has been an absolute pleasure to have Catherine Flavell as our Celebrant.
Cath, to us was a God send.
I first contacted Cath 11th May for my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary ten days before it was due. We had a little less than two weeks of preparation to find a venue and a celebrant that would perform the renewal of vows for my parents’ special occasion.
As my parents had both been ill prior to their anniversary, my father with his vision and mum with her vertigo that lasted more than two months we really could not plan an elaborate celebration and this is where Cath comes in. My daughter found her name on a website along with some others. However she was the only one who picked up the phone and not some answering machine.
I also had two more celebrants that returned the call and set up an appointment but it was Cath’s voice that attracted me, her tone and friendliness and most of all she was very accommodating upon learning the predicament we were in.
Immediately she told me in details what was involved and as we had less than two weeks, she set up a meeting with me and my parents at her home that weekend. She was not only professional but very organised too. She conducted an interview with my parents on how their love blossomed and led to marriage all those years ago. She gave us lists of appropriate readings for the grandchildren to read and a couple of rituals that might be suitable to the little grandkids and great grandchild. The whole family was involved. She made it more exciting and special that on the actual day it was more than what we had anticipated for.
The right setting for the garden ceremony, a moving story of my parents love story that she read out on her PA system, music, the exchanging of their wedding rings, the lighting of the candles and the presentation of their certificate as well as their little story book. It had an individual touch that Cath provided, which made it so special.
My parents’ joy was written all over their face as well as my three brothers who gave a very positive feedback on the whole celebration.
I would recommend her business one hundred percent as I am sure she gives her best to all her clients judging from the experience we had, as a matter of fact my daughter had also contracted her to perform the ceremony for her wedding when the time comes (hopefully soon).

Cath was amazing, she was attentive and helped us to create a personalised, intimate wedding.
I particularly loved how we had so much say in what we wanted, and she was so helpful in guiding us. The ceremony was great - and really special to us and to our family.
Cath's efforts on the day and her preparation prior to the wedding were exceptional. Prior to meeting her, she was very quick to respond to all our questions via phone calls and emails.
Once we met her, we knew she was the celebrant for us because she was warm, friendly and we were comfortable dealing with her. On top of that, she was super organised and made every effort to help us in personalising our wedding ceremony. She made our wedding day special and completely stress-free! We couldn't have ask for more.
She exceeded our expectations and we would recommend anyone to use her services in the future. She's the celebrant every wedding couple should have.
Our initial meeting with Cath was informative and Cath had very good knowledge in the legal aspects and as well as personal emotions that she has seen with other couples.
My wife and I were extremely pleased that Cath helped us to create a personalised ceremony and it was commented by a lot of our guests.
Cath prepared us for the ceremony with a few private rehearsals, stepping us through each stage in a manner that had us prepared and relaxed for our wedding day and making it memorable.
Overall the ceremony went very smoothly and we couldn't have done it without Cath's help.
My wife and I would highly recommend Cath as your wedding celebrant. Thanks again Cath!
Hi Cath,
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we appreciated your professional manner when helping us organise dad's funeral recently.
You made everything easier and your suggestions were invaluable. We had many complimentary remarks made about you after the funeral and we were happy to have you as part of it all at such a sad time for the family.
Kind regards, the family.
Cath made our Ceremony as Intimate and Romantic as we can possibly have it. She has provided us with a tailored Ceremony to reflect what my husband and I have for each other.
Being Filipino, I wanted to do the Coin ceremony and Lighting of the candle which meant a lot to me. I asked Cath to help me put these in the Ceremony. She has set it up it for me and made our Ceremony more special.
I have been to a lot of weddings and I must admit that Cath is very good at what she does! She was there to help us from day 1.
Cath was well organised and professional from day one, especially on our wedding day in coordinating when we were ready to start the ceremony.
She made our wedding day feel perfect and romantic. Cath has a calm and pleasant voice which we believed created the tone to the ceremony.
All our family and friends kept on commenting what a romantic wedding it was but especially mentioned what a fantastic job our celebrant did.
We were extremely happy with the whole day and experience and highly recommend Cath to anyone who is looking for a celebrant.
We want to thank Cath for the wonderful job she did as our celebrant (on 19/11/11). She was both professional and personal, adding a warmth to our occasion that will be remembered fondly.
From the first time we met with Cath, she took the hassle out of the ceremony preparation and paperwork, and I am very grateful for her professional handling of an awkward situation of my mother (the mother of the bride) not arriving at the ceremony on time.
Thanks Cath - you are wonderful!!!!
Cath was the first celebrant we made an appointment to meet for a pre-wedding chat. When she welcomed us into her lovely home and guided us through the whole process, we knew we had found our celebrant!
We found Cath to be very warm, friendly and extremely professional. She took care of all the legal work and wedding ceremony organisation. Most of all she calmed our nerves and reassured us that she will deliver a ceremony that would be highly personable and intimate.
On our wedding day, Cath delivered everything we had asked for and made the day run very smoothly. Our ceremony was filled with laughter and was very moving.
After the ceremony, many friends and family commented on how wonderful Cath was. They especially enjoyed how Cath filled the ceremony with humour and sincerity.
If you are looking for a celebrant that is warm, genuine and highly professional, my husband and I highly recommend Cath.
Thank you Cath for making our wedding day so special.
Cath is such a friendly and nice person. Our wedding will not be so successful without Cath's advices.
Thank you very much Cath for such a great experience with you!
