From a Wedding coordinators point of view, i will rate her a perfect 10 !! On the day Rica & Don brought me to have a meeting with Cath, i knew there and then that we will be in good hands. We shared a lot of laughs during our meeting. She is down to earth, very accommodating and offered helpful suggestions as well.
Very Professional and easy to work with. She clearly explained the process up to the finer details. Despite the summer heat during the wedding day, she delivered the ceremony smoothly with mix tones of humour and Intimacy. All the guest are very happy. Highly recommended!!!!

If you're looking for someone who is warm, welcoming and professional, you should call Cath.
From our first meeting with her to our much anticipated moment of "I do", Cath made our whole wedding ceremony planning process a breeze. She was patient and understanding and knew how important it was to us to have our wedding ceremony be balanced with the requisite legalities but at the same time be filled with love and laughter.
Cath, thank you so much and we are so grateful you were there to help us tie the knot!
My husband and I are very lucky to have found Cath as our celebrant. She has been lovely to deal with and made the ‘getting married’ process as stress-free as possible for us.
Communication with Cath was also made extremely easy, she was very quick to reply to any emails I sent her, and when she promises that she will do something, regardless of whether big or small, trust that it will be done.
She took time to go through with us what to expect on the day of the wedding, did a mock walking down the aisle with us, which really helped put our minds at ease.
Thanks Cath for your professionalism throughout our planning process, you are definitely someone we can rely on and I can’t wait to recommend you to my family in the near future!
Cath was an absolute dream to work with. I had seen Cath’s work when she officiated the weddings of two of my dearest friends whom had nothing but positive feedback about her.
When it came to planning our own wedding, Cath was a natural choice for us. Cath made us feel at ease from day one with her friendly and down to earth nature. She’s incredibly organised and detail orientated, Most importantly, she was informative and very responsive to any queries. We highly recommend her services. Thank you for everything Cath!
Cath is always the professional but also a very friendly person who makes you feel at ease. She works so hard to personalise your wedding and is always so caring and thoughtful. I have worked with Cath on weddings and I really enjoy the experience – she is personable and keeps all the guests entertained. I would recommend choosing Cath for your wedding day as you get the whole package – professional and personalised!
I look forward to working with you again Cath.
Thank you to Catherine Flavell, our celebrant, you did an amazing job. The way you spoke about mum was like you knew her yourself. Thank you all so much.

Morning Cath
A huge thank you from our family for all your support and understanding during the recent loss of our dear friend Bruce Chong.
You have a beautiful way of making a tough process a little easier and we are all truly thankful. Everyone who attended the celebration of his life have commented on your caring and supportive approach - amazing !!! - also thanks for forwarding me a detailed copy of the service.
Take Care

We had the most amazing and professional support from Cath. What started out as a “simple” ceremony became very complicated with Filipino touches added. Somehow Cath kept us on track and accommodated the changes even driving to the accommodation we were staying in to have a rehearsal the night before the wedding.
The ceremony was truly beautiful and could never have gone as well as it did without her excellent support. Thank you so so much!!!
Howie and Mheng
Cathy, on behalf of our family, we appreciated greatly the presentation and tribute that you gave to mum on our behalf. And our family friends expressed their appreciation about the way the Christian gospel message of hope was presented so gently and positively in the service, and mum’s wishes to know Christ and her willingness to partake in prayers was told to all, even my elder sister noticed the message and its warmth and hope.
Though Aunty Yin could not understand much English, she recognised the hymns that were played and the Lord’s prayer. Thank you again. May God shower upon you and your family with every blessings.

Hi Cath

Dear Cath,
I can’t thank you enough for your time and all the help you gave me to prepare the Mass for Peter’s funeral. It went well and was a lovely Mass. I feel Peter would have been proud of me for giving him a wonderful send off. Thanks again.
Love Carol x
Cath was my brother and sister-in-law’s celebrant at their wedding many years ago and from that day, I knew I had to have her one day at my wedding!
The ceremony included all the legal formalities with humour that got all my guests laughing. From my initial contact, Cath was prompt and replied within the day with ALL the details you need. She is warm, professional and takes a lot of pride in her work. I could not recommend Cath enough! Even my guests told me how impressed they were with Cath’s services!
Thank you so much, Cath for being part of our special day!
Jeffrey Bros Funeral Services have had the honour to call Cath one of our wonderful working partners she has been working with us over the last 10 years. We have entrusted many of our beautiful families with Cath to help honour and celebrate the love and life of their dearly departed loved one.
Cath has given her professional and expertise as well as her heart to deliver a fitting and beautiful service to each and every family.
We recommend Cath and love her for her true dedication and care that she gives every time. We consider her a part of our family
Thank you so much Cath and your lovely hubby! You have been an amazing wedding vendor, you were always there when we contacted you no matter what odd hours in the day or night and knew what we needed before we knew it ourselves. Thank you!!
George and I look forward to catching up when we get back from our honeymoon.
Thank you for a lovely and dignified service Cath. Family was extremely grateful.

No words can describe the amount of effort Catherine put into our civil ceremony. After meeting Catherine for the first time where she helped put our plans in writing, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off our shoulders.
Catherine was very reassuring that everything would work out as planned which in turn made it less stressful. She worked with us to create a very informal civil ceremony in the time frame that we had, she was also very accommodating to our last minute changes to due to our culture and traditions. I would recommend her to all our family and friends in a heart beat. I'd give her 10 out 5 stars if it were possible.
Cath,
Thank you for all you did for mum’s funeral. We are so very happy with how it turned out, we felt that it was really “her” and we have had so many compliments.
Terri & family
Cath was amazing! Very caring and good with small details. We loved she was bilingual. Our ceremony was stress free and she was very accommodating to our needs. We recommended her to our friends and family. It was lovely to see her at each wedding over the years. I hope to see her at more weddings.
Hi Catherine
Bernard’s service was a beautiful tribute to him. I sincerely thank you for being there for me and my family, to farewell my brother on his last journey.
Kind regards Edmond and family
Made it easy and simple, made us feel so comfortable. Thanks to Cath, our ceremony went as beautiful as I could have hoped for, thank you so much.
Ladies,
Thank You sooooooooooooo much for your support during this emotional time and your assistance in preparing the arrangements for the funeral of my mum "Hazel Mannion". There is no doubting your assistance helped my father, myself and family members during this terrible time.
I honestly can't fault the service you provided and will gladly recommend Guardian Funerals and you Cathy to other family member and friends when the need arises.
Love and Thanks,
The Mannion Family
(email addressed to Funeral Director as well)
Catherine is a nice, relaxed and friendly person with a good sense of humour. Yet, at the same time, Cath is very professional and in our case, her attention to detail meant that all documentation was correct and in place.
Ruth and I had the ceremony at Catherine's house, where she has a light and pleasant area set aside for this purpose. For anyone seeking a professional Celebrant with a warm and friendly personality, we highly recommend Catherine Flavell.
Caspar and Ruth.
Cath conducted our civil ceremony over the weekend - and we couldn't be happier with how it played out!! From the moment we met her Cath was incredibly warm, professional, and just a joy to talk to - and with her help we were able to incorporate both humour and sincerity into our wedding. If you are looking for a celebrant who will make your wedding uniquely 'you,' we would wholeheartedly recommend Cath!
Hi Cathy,
It was such a pleasure to finally meet you. All my family were all very happy with everything that was discussed and organised. Your guidance has certainly helped us through such an emotional period.
Kind regards
Evelyn
Cath’s after hours availability is a blessing for us. We were able to see her after work and even have our ceremony on a public holiday.
Many thanks Cath!
An & Tam
Thanks so much Catherine for the amazing service provided. The day would not have been as special without you there.
Alarna and Harley
Thank you Catherine for making Sharmaine’s send off perfect yesterday! Happy Easter to you and your family.
Regards Marie and family
Cath was an amazing celebrant for our day, from the moment we met, she put us at ease with everything that needed to get done, and was really organised and detailed in explaining how the day ran, legal docs, and really took care o the formalities to officially get married. She really worked with us as a couple to uncover what type of ceremony we wanted – not too serious, filled with love, and kept it light hearted and fun. We would definitely recommend her!
Hi Cath
Thank you so much for today!! Everyone loved dad’s eulogy, they liked that it wasn’t sugar coated and it was my dad to the T. The way you weaved all of dad’s life highlights was magic. I look forward to receiving a commemorative copy of dad’s service which I’ll treasure forever.

Cath is so friendly, patient and professional especially while dealing with our enquiry. Our wedding wouldn’t have been that successful without Cath!
Hi Cath,
Ron and I wish to thank you so much for last Saturday. You were amazing and the day certainly ran very smoothing with your guidance. We could not have wished for the day as a whole to go any better and was more than we certainly expected.
The ceremony was fun and we have since been told there was not a dry eye in the house… Happy tears of course. It was just the way we wanted to spend with our family and friends and your ceremony started the celebrations off in a lovely way.
We met Cath twice before our laid back Hawaiian themed birthday/wedding and she was so happy and fun to work with.
Cath was great even pretending to be an entertainer so we could surprise our guests and was happy to dress to fit the theme.
Cath made the ceremony fun and light hearted just the way we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. Cath made our day and I am so glad we found her.
Dear Cath,
Thank you so much for sending me a copy of the service you did for my brother John. Also thank you for your professionalism, sincerity and thoughtfulness in delivering the eulogy.
Bringing back some nice memories and watching the photos helped to make John’s funeral more tolerable.
Regards
Shirley and family
I would highly recommend Cath as your celebrant. Everything went so smoothly from our first meeting to our wedding day.
She puts very personal touches into the service and Martin and I were so very happy that we chose Ceremonies by Cath for our wedding day. Very professional, friendly and we highly recommend.
Cath helped us plan the perfect wedding ceremony for us. From the very beginning, she was welcoming and made us feel at ease with regards to our ceremony. She was easy going, very patient and accommodating to what we wanted in our ceremony and nothing was too much trouble at all.
She definitely knows her stuff as it showed through how she dealt with our legal paperwork, guiding us on how our ceremony would be written and helping us with other details for our wedding. Her very professional wedding manual full of different samples of vows, readings, blessings and rituals was certainly a welcomed resource for us which made our whole experience stress free.
Thank you Cath for guiding us and making our wedding ceremony a wonderful reflection of who we are.
Stacey and Olga
Highly recommend Cath as your celebrant! Cath explained and helped with so much of our wedding. Her office is filled with information on how the ceremony can be and she customised our ceremony to what we desired giving us plenty of examples to choose from since we had no idea what to do. Most importantly, Cath is professional, friendly, funny, and great to talk to.
Her work is extremely thorough which put us both at ease knowing we are well taken care of. I couldn't be more happy with Cath being our celebrate. It was important that she also was able to speak Cantonese because we had relatives that did not know English, they even gave me feedback praising how well Cath was. She helped make our ceremony a day we will never forget. She was recommended by my sister who also used her as well as my cousin and good friend.
Cathy is an excellent celebrant. She helped us organise our wedding very well. One thing I was really impressed about is her flexibility. My fiancé and I both work full-time so we were not able to see Cathy during the daytime on weekdays, so she'd suggest us to have meetings at 7:30pm on Friday or Saturday during the daytime although she has her family to take care of.
She is considerate, devoted, professional, well-organised and friendly. I highly recommend her.
Cath, where do we start? If it had not been for you we would have been so lost on our wedding day.
Your nurturing, guiding and patient personality saw us through from our very first appointment to the wedding day. You helped us in so many ways in the lead up to the wedding. All of our guests loved our ceremony and commented on how relaxed we both were. Thank you so much for everything, there are really not enough words to express our gratitude!
Cath is the consummate professional! Her genuine warmth friendliness and personal investment ensured that this was a wonderful and momentous occasion. Importantly, her attention to detail was second to none and the support encouragement and reassurance she provided enabled us to have the ceremony that WE wanted for OUR special day, despite last minute changes. As friends but also as clients, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you Cath for your contribution to our journey together.
