Ballarat Marriage Celebrant Kate Ritchie

Kate was incredible. Very professional, very well organise and very attentive to the Bride and Groom. I was really impressed with how Kate conducted herself as a celebrate, and made everything so easy for us. She was fantastic.

Kate was absolutely amazing as celebrant for our dearly departed mother. We were not able to meet personally with kate to organise the service but were able to do this through conference calls and emails of drafts. Kate provided a beautiful service portraying so perfectly the wonderful and gentle loving person she was. Kate was also very comforting and understanding to our family. We would highly recommend kate

Couldn’t of asked for a better celebrant! We had a perfect ceremony and can’t thank Kate enough for all her help throughout the process. Definitely recommend!

I felt Kate really understood my dad even though she had never met him. She listened to all the small details and made the ceremony so personal to him. I wished he could have been there to hear how beautifully she delivered his service, which was so personalised to him.

Kate created & delivered the perfect ceremony for my husband and I. She was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding and made sure we had all the personal touches we wanted in our ceremony. The ceremony had our guest (and us) laughing one minute, crying the next (in a good way). Thank you so much Kate for helping to make our ceremony so special! I highly recommend Kate.

Couldn’t recommend Kate highly enough. She made the process so simple and stress free and made our wedding exactly what we wanted. Really over the moon with her service.

Kate recently conducted the funeral service for our late brother, providing us great support and ensured that we farewelled him in a most compassionate, caring and respectful way.

Kate was the celebrant at our wedding in December 2018. We chose her because she had such wonderful feedback from others. She was incredibly warm and friendly and understood what type of atmosphere we were wanting for our wedding. Many of our guests commented on how great Kate was. She was funny and helped us to feel at ease. She made the wedding flow flawlessly and truly made it a special and memorable day for us.

Kate was fantastic. The bride did not want a cheesy service and Kate delivered a very classy service, and helped guide us on the day. Frankly she is great and we would highly recommend her to anyone else needing this service.

From the very first meeting with Kate she was so easy to talk to, professional, and knew exactly what she was doing. The whole wedding ceremony process was made such a breeze. Everything went so smoothly on the day and its all thanks to Kate's amazing work. Would highly recommend Kate to anyone.

Kate did such a wonderful job helping us put together my father-in-law's farewell service, and then delivering the service with such grace. She made what was a very difficult time so much easier. Thank you Kate!

We organized most of the wedding via email and phone as my husband and I are located in Canberra, at all times Kate responded quickly and was amazingly helpful, friendly and understanding. She worked with us and helped us feel like everything was under control. I honestly could not have hoped for or asked for a better celebrant.

My father recently passed away, and the funeral director recommended Kate to perform the ceremony.
Kate came to our home and was so professional and empathic.
She had so many ideas regarding the ceremony, and made that process so much easier.
The day of the funeral was also handled so well by Kate.
She spoke extremely well and was very supportive.
Overall I can't recommend Kate any higher!
She is such a lovely person who handled what is a very difficult time extremely well.
Thank you very much!

At the beginning of 2018 my mum passed away. It was the most difficult time of my life. Kate Ritchie worked with my family and I to create the simple service that we wanted. She was understanding and it was comforting to be working with someone that knew exactly what to do in such an overwhelming time. I highly recommend Kate for any celebrant requirements.

We had an absolutely lovely day. Kate was very professional, friendly, easy to arrange things with, a very people person and we thank her sooo much for making our special intimate wedding ceremony exactly how we wanted it. We would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kate

My Husband Chris and I would like to share our wonderful experience with Kate. From the moment we first engaged Kate’s services we were immediately at ease. Our experience was everything we hoped for and more. Suited us completely right down to a little humour as well as heartfelt warmth and individuality. Thank you so much Kate! You made our day.

My Husband and I had the pleasure of having Kate as our celebrant this year.

The process leading up to our special day was made very easy by Kate. From day dot she was helpful in every way.
She had a clear understanding of what we wanted for our ceremony and did just that on the day!
The ceremony was very heart felt, with a casual touch to suit our personalities.
We had several people approach us after the wedding to say that it was “The most emotional and heartfelt ceremony they have ever witnessed”, this is all thanks to Kate’s hard work and dedication.
Kate really takes the time to get to know you as a couple and this was very obvious through the ceremony.
Both Alex and I could not recommend Kate enough, she made our day the most amazing day ever, one we will never forget.
Kate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
