SIEN KWAN'S FUNERAL SERVICE

Good morning Cath,

My apologies for the delay in getting back to you, as the last couple of days since the funeral has been tough and busy.

Thank you for the offer of a commemorative record of the service however we feel that it’s unlikely to be of interest except to the very immediate family. In any case we have a record of the poems by Linda Rogers and Mary Elizabeth Frye that you read at the service and by the graveside, and which expressed our feelings so eloquently.

Many of our relatives at the wake commented on how well and professionally you conducted the service and the graveside committal – thank you sincerely, it made the parting with our Mum so much easier. We will certainly recommend your services to our friends and relatives for any future celebratory events.

Regards David & Alan

SIEN KWAN

Cath ran through everything and made sure we were happy with every detail. The ceremony was great. A friend in attendance was so happy they are booking Cath for their wedding.

PHILLIP & ROCHELLE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is simply one of our answered prayers. When me and my husband decided to get married, we had no idea at all on how to pull it through. Cath help us a lot through the process. She made us feel so at ease and made our ceremony just simply perfect. She made the whole process easy and fun. I cant thank her enough for all the efforts she placed in our wedding, making it so special and worth remembering.

MIKE'S FUNERAL SERVICE

Dear Catherine

Today I received by post your note, together with a copy of Mike’s service. Many thanks for sending this on to me. It arrived at the same time as a USB video of the service, which was sent by Mike’s brother in law. May I complement you on the way the service was run, so well organised, with thoughtful words, Mike would have been proud to know that he had so many friends. It’s always a test of friendship to know how many turn up at your funeral!

Kind regards

Greg (resides in Poland)

JOHN & BRITTANY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine was well organised, friendly and knowledgeable. She is exactly the celebrant you are looking for. Due to the knowledge she shared, our ceremony time management was better than planned. Importantly, the wonderful atmosphere Catherine have created in her speech is well memorable to everybody in my wedding day. Watching back the videos, seeing everybody’s emotions that they are happy for my wedding, is all due to Catherine’s well organised speech.

JOHN & BRITTANY – WEDDING CEREMONY

KEEGAN & NANCY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Amazing! Made us laugh, made us cry, but most of all you made our day about us! It’s the personal touch and nothing is too much for Cath! From arranging times to see us, getting all the required forms completed, to just keeping us stress free...

Thank you so much!

KEEGAN & NANCY – WEDDING CEREMONY

PANKAJ & SHRUTI – WEDDING CEREMONY

I highly recommend Cath as she made our special day even more special with her humour and involvement in the whole ceremony.

PANKAJ & SHRUTI – WEDDING CEREMONY

YEE HUI & BIYOU (FROM LONDON) – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is such as great and sweet celebrant! She read all our stories and designed a personalised ceremony for us. We will never forget the precious moment that she gave us. We highly recommend Cath because she is very patient, supportive and considerate.

YEE HUI & BIYOU (FROM LONDON) – WEDDING CEREMONY

RALPH & JOANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

We found out about Cath when we saw a wedding video of a couple with her as their celebrant. Her unique style of adding humour into the ceremony is what really stood out for us and it allowed for a much more engaging ceremony for all involved.

She operates in a very professional manner, every detail, every possible situation that could arise during the ceremony, she had it covered. The process of planning the ceremony just flowed with ease thanks to just how good a celebrant she is.

We highly recommend her for her unique flair and such attention to detail.

RALPH & JOANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

CHRIS & AMY – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was so warm, organised and down-to-earth. She provided a folder for us to pick and choose how we wanted the ceremony to run, and we also rehearsed the ceremony, so there was no confusion on the day over what we had to do.

Thanks so much Cath!

CHRIS & AMY – WEDDING CEREMONY

KEVIN & TANYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath's first impression was warm and good humoured, from the moment we met her at her front porch, we knew she would be our celebrant!

The whole process of creating a ceremony was made easy, she gave us plenty of guidance, lots of positive reinforcement and laughs along the way - we even had a rehearsal, which made the big day much more relaxed! All legalities and paperwork in her capable hands, she even brought a signing table and PA system to play our processional music!

Our friends and family loved our ceremony! It was one of the first they'd seen that was both outdoors and conducted by a celebrant - even so, they came to me saying how much they'd loved it, how it had a sense of fun, one of the best they'd seen! Highly recommend Cath, amazing value, and she did a great job facilitating such a memorable moment for us!

KEVIN & TANYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

CHANTHY & LINDA – WEDDING CEREMONY

I love Cath! She is the best celebrant I have ever met, a very warm and friendly person.

I was highly recommended by a few of my closest friends, so making that decision was easy. During our appointments we had many laughs, which made the relationship perfect. I believe it's one of the most important aspects for us, which made it very easy to open up about our relationship and stories of how we met.

Even though we practiced during our appointments, the day came and we totally forgot what we'd rehearsed. Cath was discreetly guiding us through the ceremony. She had also made this a very personal and intimate morning for us. Cath is very prepared for happy tears with tissues on hand for us as well We'll never forget this day, thank you Cath for the sharing our moment with us and making it very special.

Love Chanthy and Linda

CHANTHY & LINDA – WEDDING CEREMONY

SIMON & JOYEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath did a wonderful job for our wedding ceremony in October 2016.

Cath spent the time to go through the whole wedding process beforehand with us from vowels to paperwork to the actual wedding day. Cath also supplies a manual for the wedding so the wedding vowels can be personalised the way we wanted.

Cath showed up on time and made us more comfortable for our wedding day. I highly recommend Cath if you're looking great marriage celebrant with the personal touch.

Thank from Simon and Joyee.

SIMON & JOYEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

MR & MRS SMITH – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was absolutely fantastic. First meeting we had with her she knew exactly what we wanted. Ceremony was fantastic and it was so nice to involve our 5 children in the ring giving. It was simple yet so meaningful. Everything flowed and it was perfect. I would absolutely recommend Cath!

We chose to do the ceremony at Cath's place and it was beautiful. Even her presence was just amazing. I wouldn't change a thing! We done it all in just 30 days and for those who want a simple yet meaningful ceremony Cath is the one!

Thank you Cathy for making our day so special and including our children.

MR & MRS SMITH – WEDDING CEREMONY

DAISUKE & BETA (FROM JAPAN) – WEDDING CEREMONY

We contacted Cath for the first time three years ago when we were both living in Japan. One of our good friends had highly recommended Cath and for very good reason.

Daisuke and I had changed wedding dates and plans numerous times and she was always patient, thorough and kind with working with us. It was a tough job for Cath as we weren't in the country but she was very accommodating to our arrangements.

My husband spoke little English and she made sure that he felt comfortable during the ceremony as well.

If not for Cath, it would have been a very stressful experience. She just made it so easy for us.

I highly recommend Cath to any couple. When weddings can be so stressful, you really need a celebrant like Cath to make it straightforward and simple.

Thank you one million!

Beta and Daisuke

DAISUKE & BETA (FROM JAPAN) – WEDDING CEREMONY

KELVIN AND HELAINE (FROM HONG KONG) – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was amazing. Following my cousin’s recommendation, Cath did another great wedding for our family.

Very professional and provided heaps of assistance throughout the months leading to the wedding. She is absolutely amazing since it was rather difficult to organise weddings from overseas, she even gave me ideas for my wedding! Would definitely recommend Cath to anyone else who are getting married!

KELVIN AND HELAINE (FROM HONG KONG) – WEDDING CEREMONY

JASON AND ANNA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Our wedding ceremony was really lovely thanks in large part to Cath. She is friendly and professional and putting together our outdoor ceremony, including our beautiful dog, was such a breeze with her help and advice.

We were never worried or stressed out about how the ceremony would unfold because we knew that Cath had everything organised and prepared and basically we knew that she had our backs!

Thanks so much Cath.

Anna, Jason and Toby

JASON AND ANNA – WEDDING CEREMONY

K & J – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is a very professional celebrant, warm and helpful and the ceremony was just what we wanted. Highly recommended.

K & J – WEDDING CEREMONY

HU MENG’S FUNERAL SERVICE

Dear Cath,

It’s been a very long and emotional week for me and my family. Even though I have lost all three grandparents within the past 5 years, the pain of losing a beloved doesn’t hurt any less. Nor does organising a funeral service, or writing an eulogy worthy of an incredible human being, get any easier.

We want to thank you again for your services. I am truly humbled by your kindness and generosity through this entire process.

Rochelle & family

HU MENG’S FUNERAL SERVICE

PHIL AND LISA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was absolutely outstanding from beginning to end. Our meetings and communication with her ensured that our ceremony was perfect. Our guests have all said it was the best wedding ever and that is largely attributable to Cath and her attention to detail.

Our ceremony was both meaningful and fun which set the scene for a terrific day. Cath made sure no detail was overlooked and we just couldn't recommend her more highly.

Thank you so very much Cath

PHIL AND LISA – WEDDING CEREMONY

MICHAEL AND MARCELLE (FROM THAILAND) – WEDDING CEREMONY

We are so impressed and satisfied with Cath as our Celebrant. We wanted to be sure that everything was as planned, and we decided to be in Sydney a week early. We found Cath to be so detailed and thorough, knew and understood our relationship, and performed to our interest and objective perfectly. We had such a smooth wedding and great memory, thanks to her diligence, compassion and understanding.

MICHAEL AND MARCELLE (FROM THAILAND) – WEDDING CEREMONY

ZI-YANG AND JOANNE (FROM LONDON) - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is fantastic. We found Cath when I googled English and Cantonese speaking celebrant in Sydney, and although a handful of celebrants came up, we decided to go with Cath after reading reviews and looking through her pictures and videos. She is jolly, patient, down to earth, warm and so easy to talk to - she explained the whole marriage process to us, her role, what is required from us, and seamlessly kept in touch with us through Skype and email in the months leading up to our wedding (as we are Aussies based in the United Kingdom, and went home for our wedding last month).

Our celebrant speech was the right touch of sentimentality and humour, and set the perfect tone for the rest of our wedding day.

Thank you Cath!

ZI-YANG AND JOANNE (FROM LONDON) - WEDDING CEREMONY

PASCAL AND JOCELYN – WEDDING CEREMONY

Super professional and took the time to get to know us as a couple to put together a personalised ceremony. Thanks Cath!

PASCAL AND JOCELYN – WEDDING CEREMONY

IAN AND AUDREY (FROM PHILIPPINES) - WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was amazing! Coming from Manila, Philippines and only having 2 months to prepare, we had no idea what we had to do for our Sydney wedding.

She explained everything thoroughly which helped ease some of the stress in planning. She was friendly, helpful and very professional from start to finish.

Cath is an excellent celebrant and I highly recommend her services, especially for those overseas couples who are planning to get married in Australia.

IAN AND AUDREY (FROM PHILIPPINES) - WEDDING CEREMONY

MENSUR AND LEE-ANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cathy is Amazing!! Her commitment to detail together with her warm friend personality, Cathy is about to bring a few words or sentences into an awesome ceremony.

All our guests commented on how great she was too. I am truly grateful that we found Cathy to be part of our wedding.

I would recommend Cathy to anyone.

MENSUR AND LEE-ANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

YAT MING AND MEGA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cathy was just so friendly and helpful. She gave us suggestions on writing our ceremony and was more than 15 minutes early on my big day to make sure everything is in order.

Everyone loved the ceremony as it has the romantic, humorous, and warm fuzzy components all in one! Would definitely recommend Cathy!!

YAT MING AND MEGA – WEDDING CEREMONY

TIMO AND FARRAH (FROM CANBERRA) – WEDDING CEREMONY

I am so blown away by the service provided to us by Cath. Not only is she amazing at what she does but she goes above and beyond and builds a personal connection with her clients. We felt so at ease knowing that she would take care of our ceremony, legal requirements and paperwork.

So glad we made the choice to choose Cath for our special day.

TIMO AND FARRAH (FROM CANBERRA) – WEDDING CEREMONY

DAVID AND TARA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine was by far the most down to earth friendly person that we had dealt with through our whole wedding planning process. Catherine's level of detail and organisation made us feel completely comfortable to leave the ceremony in her hands.

The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier with how it all turned out. My Partner and I would recommend Cath to anyone's who's getting married.

DAVID AND TARA – WEDDING CEREMONY

DUY AND NATHAYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Excellent celebrant. Highly recommend Cath to anyone needing a celebrant

DUY AND NATHAYA – WEDDING CEREMONY

KEVIN AND HIEN - WEDDING CEREMONY

We had the privilege of having Catherine marry us and she was spectacular all the way. She is warm, friendly, caring, great sense of humour, gave us excellent advice and guided us all the way. She made sure all the little things were done so that we didn't have to worry about it. She tailored the ceremony specific to us by getting to know who we were and our personalities which shows how caring she is to make this a special day for us.

On the day, we had a slight issue with our ceremony venue and she fixed that for us by speaking to the venue and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. This was a huge help in minimising any stress we might have had. (she goes above and beyond).

She is great with kids, we had a flower girl and page boy, both kids were a little tricky but she made it work seamlessly.

She also coordinated the musicians we had and even arranged the layout of the seating so that our guests were better positioned.

She is very professional, her guide book was a huge help in writing our vows and also for our readings.

Her PA system on the day was perfect too (crystal clear).

After the wedding, it was very easy to contact her while we were on our honeymoon to get some documents sent to us.

I'd recommend Catherine in a heartbeat. She helped make the ceremony a wonderful event!

KEVIN AND HIEN - WEDDING CEREMONY

BROC AND TRESSIA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is a fantastic celebrant! She makes things simple and doesn't make you feel overwhelmed with all that is involved with a ceremony. She understands that you have a day job and other important things to organise, so she will work with you around your busy schedule. You decide what you want to say and do on your big day, so it is unique and tells your story not a generic one.

Cath is friendly, reliable, very helpful, approachable, prompt and fun! I can't recommend Cath enough!

BROC AND TRESSIA – WEDDING CEREMONY

JOHN AND DEVI – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath is a fantastic celebrant. We had a lot of fun and I mean a lot fun during the preparation and on the wedding day.

She is very warm and very helpful. Will definitely recommend her services to family and friends.

Thank you Cath for a great ceremony.

JOHN AND DEVI – WEDDING CEREMONY

GARETH AND LINH – WEDDING CEREMONY

Dear Cath

Thank you for being part of our wedding day.

Thank you for your guidance and support. We sincerely appreciate your thoughtfulness. You made the day truly memorable for us – you did a great job!

Love from Gareth and Linh

GARETH AND LINH – WEDDING CEREMONY

TERRY AND NINA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was amazing and very thoughtful!

We loved our wedding ceremony and it was very memorable for all. Our guests certainly had a few giggles!

Thanks Cath

TERRY AND NINA – WEDDING CEREMONY

GEOFF AND RENEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

We went to meet with Cath following recommendation from a young friend.

She was attentive, understanding and ensured that she understood our story. The service was different, warm, emotive and well balanced. Rehearsal covered each minute detail, ring placement, etc. She was quite comfortable with the ‘floating’ ceremony, we would heartily recommend her product.

GEOFF AND RENEE – WEDDING CEREMONY

DANNY AND VANESSA – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was the celebrant for my sister’s wedding and I knew that I wanted her for mine as well. She was so easy to work with, she explained everything thoroughly and left no room for any stress on the day.

She was able to work with both English and Cantonese at the ceremony, which was great as we had guests who only understood one or the other of the languages.

DANNY AND VANESSA – WEDDING CEREMONY

MARK AND PRINCESS – WEDDING CEREMONY

Catherine gave us the most beautiful ceremony, in which she captured the very essence of our love story and told it in a way that was sincere, touching and had a touch of humour which had all our guests cry and laugh with us!

We are so grateful that Catherine was there as she took charge on our wedding day when everyone was nervous/emotional, and all thought process disappeared the moment it all started - especially the bride!

Details from calming me down, and minute things we forgot- such as tissues (I know, how can ALL the groomsmen forget all the tissue packs I packed them, on the day?!) Cath got that covered!

Our wedding ceremony was perfect/unforgettable and it wouldn't have been if Cath was not involved. She is such a professional, very warm and accommodating. I can see why she has won so many awards & have great feedbacks

Love from

Mark & Princess

MARK AND PRINCESS – WEDDING CEREMONY

WILLIAM AND MICHAELA – WEDDING CEREMONY

If you are looking for a celebrant, stop right here, Cath was sensational.

She is bring, happy, very social and made us very comfortable at each of our meetings before the wedding. She wrote our vows, and they were very personally written to our personalities.

I am very proud of how our ceremony turned out, we had a very small wedding of our parents and our two kids, and I wouldn’t have changed a thing.

Thanks Cath for making it memorable.

WILLIAM AND MICHAELA – WEDDING CEREMONY

DAVE AND ANNE – WEDDING CEREMONY

Cath was wonderful. She personalised our wedding, incorporated the fact that we have been together 25 years.

It was humorous, included all our memories and our friends. I would recommend Cath to any person wishing to have a wedding written especially for them.
