25.01.2022 How to change your surname after marriage... This is something I chat about with all my couples, when we are doing the legal paperwork, but sometimes that is filled out months and months before, even up to 18months before so it's easy to forget... Heck I can't even remember what I had for breakfast most days! Changing a bride’s (or groom’s!) last name after you get married is pretty straight forward... On your wedding day your celebrant will present you with a Marriage Certi...ficate 'it's the pretty one' you take that home to put on the fridge Ok well in a frame above the fireplace? On your wedding day, the moment I declare you husband and wife you can change it on Facebook, Twitter etc but that's about it for that moment. After all, you drivers licence is still the same.... So technically you are still known legally by that name... Your 'pretty marriage certificate' will not be accepted to change your name, however, it IS a legal document and can never be replaced. So look after it! So maybe above the fireplace isn't the best spot for it! You need to request for another marriage certificate from Births Deaths and Marraige. Here is the link: https://onlineforms.bdm.nsw.gov.au/marriage_details When you receive that Marriage Certificate (it's boring... Looks just like a birth certificate) you can can go to the Services NSW, Passport office, bank, Medicare and others, and present your Marriage Certificate and they will accept that as proof and change your name for you... Clear as mud? Thought so! Kate P.s. Don’t book honeymoon flights under the wife-to-be’s new name. She doesn’t have identification for that new name yet and FB won't cut it...

25.01.2022 So this was brought up at a recent wedding... It is 'tradition' for the bride to stand to the left at the altar. The tradition actually is from the old days of "marriage by capture", when the groom needed to leave his right hand (his fighting hand) which he used to hold his sword - free in the event that he should need to defend his bride from other suitors who may try to wisk her off at the last minute. Gezzz wizzz and we all thought this year was hard to get married!... Most couples still choose to stand with the groom on the right, but I honestly don't mind... whatever you prefer Kate

24.01.2022 Today was 3 weddings and.... no, not a funeral - but 3 dress changes... yep that right, that’s how I roll - not only do each of my couples get a personal individualised ceremony, my clothes will also compliment what’s going on with the bridal party - and if that means 3 dress changes in one day, sometimes on the back seat of my car - than so be it! And I wouldn’t have it any other way Kate xx

23.01.2022 All set up and ready to go for today’s ceremony. . Absolutely stunning location! . First wedding for 2021 - well worth the drive. ... . . . . . . #celebratewithkate #celebratewithkatecelebrant #centralcoastnswcivilcelebrant #centralcoast #centralcoastweddings #centralcoastwedding #centralcoastweddingcelebrant #centralcoastcelebrant #justmarried #fulltimecelebrant #keepweddingsreal #sydneycelebrant #huntervalleycelebrant #weddingcelebrant #love #marriage #funcelebrant #relevantcelebrant #brideschoiceawards #brideschoiceawardswinner #isowedding #socialdistancing

20.01.2022 So I’m back from holidays for the weekend, to marry a few couples and then we are off again on Monday... I’ve had lots of messages come in whilst I’ve been away and I’m replying to them in the order they arrived. Please be patient - I’ve got lots of replies to send out. Kate x

19.01.2022 This is old Covid news now, from back in May - but just to funny not to watch again.... Brad and I won’t give up our day jobs

18.01.2022 A friendly reminder.... today is the last day to pay your booking fee and secure my current rate. As of tomorrow my fee goes up and all outstanding booking fee (deposit) that aren’t paid will be subject to the new fees. If you would like to pay today so that you save money, please screen shot the transaction for me so that I can adjust your file. Many thanks, Kate xx

18.01.2022 And that’s a wrap - beer a clock... 3 beautiful couples married today! Woop woop - how awesome is that? I’m so lucky to have the best job in the world and I got to do 3 times over today! Kate xx

17.01.2022 Weddings no matter what type, a small legals only or a big platinum wedding, take up allot of emotional energy, time and effort. It’s easy to get caught up in all of that. There is allot to organise and plan, but my tip for you today is to.... Plan your marriage before your wedding"..... I know how easy it is to get caught up on the event of one day. All the planning that needs to take place for one day, and that's exactly what it is "one day" the important part comes the d...ay after, and the day after that, and the one after that, "till death do us part"... Think about putting some time into planning your marriage, BEFORE you are even married, after all it's all about the marriage and not just the wedding... Don’t get me wrong, a wedding day is a hugely important and significant day, and probably will be if not the best day of your life, one of the best... but keep focused on the big picture too... don’t take your eyes off the goal, which is marriage, while you are focusing on a wedding... Just saying Kate Photo cred to the super talented Salava Photography

17.01.2022 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.... I honestly do marry the most amazing couples! How thoughtful is this gift from Bek and Miles! I absolutely love it! Thank you so much Kate x

16.01.2022 I often get ask if it’s ok to include dogs, kids, grandma, Aunty Lou Lou In your ceremony... and the answer is... of course you can! However 9 times out of 10 working with kids and animals things don’t go to plan... and that’s ok! Because I reckon an imperfect ceremony is a real ceremony and really is perfect! It’s your day, we will do whatever you like, long as we tick off the legal stuff, include who you want, include everyone! Kate x

15.01.2022 If you are looking for an uptight and boring wedding ceremony - then don't book Me! If you want an amazing wedding ceremony and a celebrant who pulls faces you absolutely need me in your life and should book me as soon as you set the date! Kate Photo cred to the wonderful Jodie Reardon Photography

12.01.2022 Gorgeous Jess and Nathan married in my office with my legals only option... You can marry the one you love, without all the fuss but still have the opportunity to share beautiful vows. This is way cheaper than the registry office - limited time only.

10.01.2022 So overwhelmed with the generosity of the couples I marry... they are the most beautiful people! . Thank you soooo much Tracy and John - showered with gifts!

So please send all enquiries ASAP, and if you are wanting to your wedding in, let’s get this done for you! 2021, is nearly booked out, with only scattered dates still available, 2022 is 3/4 full and 2023 bookings are going like hot cakes!

07.01.2022 Just a refresher

07.01.2022 And for Cassy Weeden and anyone else who would like some vow tips

07.01.2022 What a wedding - but first it was selfies - Dame, you are a legend! . Yesterday’s wedding had so many up moments... but Amy and Dame’s vows were some of the best I’ve heard... and I may have even snorted with laughter during Dame’s - yep, I did! That was a first... I think anyway . Thank goodness we were under a massive huge tree for the ceremony... because... it rained... liked poured with rain... like so much so that it was running down my iPad so much so that I could...n’t read the screen! (My iPad is currently in a bag of rice, hopefully drying out ) Thank you so much to the gorgeous lady who came and held her umbrella over me (please tag her if you know who she was, I was very grateful) . OMG - Amy’s dress! Totally stunning, but she really did make it... the smile on Amy’s face! Priceless! . The drive to ceremony was a big one, nearly 4 hours - so nearly an 8 hour round trip. Big day - I’m still recovering, but I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! . Amy and Dame, thank you so much for having me as your celebrant and allowing me to be involved in such a life changing moment. I wish you both a lifetime of happiness!
