We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than Cath Hogan for our wedding on January 25th in beautiful Huskisson!!!Despite the distance, as it was a destination wedding for us, Cath made communication seamless and stress-free, guiding us through the legalities with ease. Meeting her the day before felt like catching up with an old friend—she went over every detail, gave us great pointers for photos (even with an unexpected but adorable furry photo-bomber when a passerby’s dog wandered into our shots haha), and ensured everything flowed smoothly.On the day, she coordinated beautifully with our ring bearers and the guest handling the music, making sure everything was perfectly timed and stress-free. She even had the readings printed in a lovely book for those coming up to read, which was such a thoughtful touch that made the ceremony feel even more special. Our guests loved her warm and personable presence, and it was clear how much care she put into making our day perfect.What truly stood out was her incredible attention to detail—even down to checking our dress code so she could blend in perfectly and maintain the special atmosphere of our day. To top it all off, she even joined our guests for the start of our small reception for a drink, which we really appreciated. Cath, we’re so sorry we took too long with photos and didn’t get to see you before you left, but we are so grateful for everything you did to make our day so perfect. Thank you!!!

We had the pleasure of having Cath as our celebrant in March 2024. From the moment we met Cath, her warmth and friendliness put us at ease. Cath's friendly demeanour makes you feel as if you have known her for years! Throughout the entire process, Cath demonstrated remarkable patience and thoroughness, ensuring every detail for our special day was attended to with care. She took the time to address each of our questions and any concerns with genuine care and attention. Cath's expertise made what could have been a daunting process incredibly easy and enjoyable. We felt completely supported and guided every step of the way. Our ceremony was nothing short of magical, beautifully crafted, and personalised, reflecting our love story perfectly. On the day of our wedding, Cath's presence was calming and reassuring, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the moment without any worries. We couldn't have asked for a better celebrant to officiate our special day and we are forever grateful for her role in making our wedding dreams a reality. We wholeheartedly recommend Cath's services to any couple looking for a celebrant who goes above and beyond to truly create a seamless, connected, unforgettable and heartfelt wedding experience. Cath's heartfelt dedication to celebrating love and commitment shines through in every word she speaks, making her not just a celebrant but a true guardian of all of the unique love stories that she helps to bring to life.

Cath officiated at our wedding in October 2022. Everything was planned and executed brilliantly. All the pre wedding official paperwork and planning was managed so well by Cath that it was just a very exciting journey, with Cath doing all the hard work really.On the day it was just pure magic. Cath made it work as planned and we all had an absolute ball. It was the most joyous of events, followed by the best party ever. Cath is brilliant at her job and a gorgeous human to boot. Highly recommend Cath Hogan and ‘Sealed with a Kiss’

Words can’t express how incredible Cath’s services were as our celebrant. Right from our first engagement Cath was warm and clear in her communications about what to expect on our day and shared some beautiful words to both of us about our vows prior to our wedding day which definitely made us feel more excited about our big day. On what is perhaps the most formal part of our wedding, Cath guided us through warmly and beautifully. In fact so many of our guests commented on Cath being an amazing celebrant who seemed personally invested in me and my wife during our vows. If you are looking for a celebrant that is authentic and can bring an extra piece of magic to your day- then dont go past Cath. We can’t thank you enough for helping make our day so special.

Whenever I envisioned my wedding day, I always knew I wanted a small gathering of family and friends along with a beautiful yet casual ceremony. I wanted the day to feel easy and stress free and focus more on enjoying the day with loved ones. We are so happy we found Cath as she was the most perfect fit for our special day. She was friendly, professional, and made the whole process incredibly comfortable from the very first email! We weren't entirely sure what we wanted in our ceremony and Cath guided us and gave us tips and suggestions as well as a document with various examples of verses, vows, readings etc to help us formulate our own ceremony program. Every step of the way her communication was clear and easy and her confidence always left us feeling at ease. We had the most amazing day and it was all thanks to Cath! Many of our guests commented on how much they liked her and how beautiful the ceremony was. Thank you so much Cath, we'll have many fond memories of this day for the rest of our lives and we are so glad you were there to share it with us!! Many thanks! Rhi & Rhys xx - Coolangatta, NSW

Our wedding experience was perfect! Cath created a beautiful and calming atmosphere for my husband and I to take our vowels and each aspect of our ceremony represented who we are as a couple.It is very evident Cath loves what she does and she is very thoughtful when it comes to the important aspects of the ceremony, taking into consideration the bride and groom placement to ensure the guests are appropriately involved as well as photographic aesthetics to create beautiful memories.If you’re after a meaningful ceremony with a professional but personal approach, Cath is the celebrant to go with!

Cath was a fantastic Celebrant for our wedding. She was the perfect mix of casual and professional during the ceremony, and was all over the paperwork so my now wife and I never had to stress. If we were ever uncertain about how things would run or what to fill out, after speaking to Cath we were set. Highly recommend.

Cath is a terrific celebrant and did a wonderful service for our wedding ceremony. She is friendly, down to earth and very relaxed and was the perfect fit for us and our beach wedding. The biggest thing I would like to thank Cath for is when I spoke to her about my phobia of public speaking and that I was very nervous about the day she didn't dismiss me and say " oh you will be fine" instead she was very supportive and made me feel that if I wasn't coping well on the day she would have my back, this in turn made me feel much better and I was able to make it though the ceremony without my anxiety taking over. We thoroughly recommend Cath as a marriage celebrant

What an amazing day Cath helped us create! We could not be happier, from the first contact with Cath we knew we had found our perfect celebrant. Cath made the whole planning process stress free, which is just what we needed while planning a wedding through Covid. Cath’s communication through the lead up was perfect, her ability to calm the groom before my arrival is remembered by him and I daily with such love. On my arrival Cath was incredible, made us all laugh and smile and ensured everything was perfect before I began my walk down. The ceremony was delivered with so much love and care. Cath had everyone smiling, laughing and filled with tears of joy!Highly recommend.

Cath is an exceptionally talented celebrant. She is highly organised and knowledgeable, which we found very comforting while planning the finer details of our wedding. Cath gives practical and objective advice that she has developed from years in the wedding industry. She connects personally with people through a kind and calm approach to conversation and she holds the audience's attention with ease.Before the wedding, Cath met with us and clearly explained all aspects and components, from the minute by minute order of events to the necessary paperwork. Her objective at the start of the meeting was that we would leave with a clear understanding of how the ceremony would unfold, and we did.If you are after a highly organised and personable celebrant, we can recommend Cath without hesitation.

I would like to highly recommend Cath Hogan’s celebrant services. She married my wife and I in 2016. From the moment we engaged with her services she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. She has such a warm and welcoming approach and designed and structured a ceremony to suit us and our needs. It was perfect! We can’t thank Cath enough for making our day so special!

MarleneI have observed Cath Hogan over a number of year’s both at weddings and the final farewell of friends and family. Cath is so caring and takes the time to get to know the family involved so as to ensure that all needs are met . I have met so many ‘plastic’ celebrants who just read out of the book this is certainly not the case with Cath I have found her to be down to earth and sympathetic plus a lot of fun especially at weddings. A great find if you are looking for a true and caring Celebrant.
