What They Say

James and Victoria

Cate officiated our wedding ceremony in April 2025 at Falside Mill.

We chose Cate because she made us feel at ease from the minute we met and has calm and professional demeanour.

Cate helped us construct a ceremony that was personal to us and was full of love – and all of our guests have commented how personal it was, and how much they enjoyed it!

We want to thank Cate for playing such a big part in our special day, and couldn’t recommend her more. Thank you Cate!!

Pat

Thank you for allowing me my time to grieve, thank you for catching the essence of my dear friend Anne, you let her be with us to say goodbye. I cannot tell you how important your service was to us all. You are a special woman… Your ability to catch the essence of Anne was amazing and the whole service reflected that.
Again, thank you so much.

Jen and Matt

Cate officiated our wedding in May 2025. We can’t put into words how warm and welcoming Cate is.

I met Cate at a wedding venue open day and felt so at ease talking to her, we didn’t look anywhere else after that. We then had a video call and knew right away Cate was the celebrant we wanted to marry us. She helped us write a beautiful ceremony that was so personal to us and many of our family and friends have commented on how perfect our ceremony was.

I would recommend Cate to anyone who wants a ceremony full of love, laughter and special moments. Cate, we can’t thank you enough for being part of our special day and we really hope our paths cross again one day! 

Sarah
