Kate,
Thank you so so so much for yesterday.
You are such an incredible person and I could not think of a better person to marry us. We adore you and so did our family and friends.
It felt like we had known you for years too!
It was fate that you were meant to marry us!
Thank you once again.
We’re going to recommend you to absolutely everybody!

Kate was our celebrant for our wedding last weekend.
From beginning to end, she was a delight to work with. No changes were too hard, she was willing to do whatever we wanted and include any special considerations.
Kate’s communication was professional yet it felt like you were just talking to an old friend.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for a celebrant 💕

Everything was good from the beginning when Kate would talk on facetime since we were interstate. One of the good things about her compared to everyone else was that she would go out of her way to offer to find all the hire and helped us to book that all to make it easier for us! She would always come back to us with friendly chat, was very organised and made the whole process easy. That included the beach permit, doing all the paperwork, bringing in her own speaker, the music, her own desk, and all the hire for the entire ceremony including an arbour as well!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kate! She has such a bright and sparkly personality; she had us both at ease and laughing the very first time we met. After that first meeting, everything fell into place so easily and we knew that Kate was the perfect fit for us.
Due to Covid restrictions we had to drastically change our wedding plans with very little notice and Kate was there to support us every step of the way. She was always ready with the answers to all our questions and kept us calm right up until we had said our "I do's".
Thank you so much, Kate!

Kate married me and my husband just last week and I can't explain how happy I am with choosing her! Because of the pandemic we had to make a lot of changes, including venue which made it so much further from where she lives. Never once did she seem put out by changes, she was SO accommodating. I felt so so confident that she had everything under control (which is hard for me haha). She was so happy and so professional. Would 100% recommend. She even gave us a little gift and just loved her ❤️

Highly recommend Kate! 💕

Thank you once again Kate from your personality to how amazing and professional you are. Wow is all I can say. From the get go, Kate was so comforting and made sure everything was perfect.

I first met Kate at the Cairns Bridal Expo early in the year. She was so easy to speak to and we related to her so quickly, it was a no brainer for us to contact Kate to be our Celebrant. Nothing was too hard. Kate made everything so easy. From start to finish, Kate made us feel so comfortable and even had tissues ready on the day. Thank you Kate for making our special day even more special. ❤️

From our first conversation with Kate we were set on having her as our celebrant – we just clicked so well! Kate was a dream to work with particularly during the chaos of planning a destination wedding in 2020. She was so approachable and flexible throughout our constant changing plans, even when we threw our original Port Douglas plans out the window and decided to pivot to a small wedding here in Brisbane. I knew Kate got our vibe and the ceremony would be great, but on the day she absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our ceremony was relaxed, personal and filled with love thanks to Kate. She guided us through the process and made everything so easy. We cannot recommend Kate more and are so grateful to have had her in our corner!

When we first spoke with Kate over the phone we immediately knew she was the person who we wanted to marry us. If you want someone who will keep everyone in check, while having heaps of fun and making you feel completely loved and comfortable the whole time Kate is the celebrant you need! My guests loved her, my other vendors loved her, and we have a friend for life in her! Blessings by Kate Bellman is the best FNQ has to offer! ❤️💍

We cannot recommend Kate enough!
After our original celebrant cancelled on us in early 2020, we were in quite a pickle finding a marriage celebrant.
With all the Covid weddings being rebooked and limited availability everywhere, we were starting to feel the pressure and the stress. We rang Kate and she answered immediately and booked us in! We are still very grateful and couldn’t have picked a better celebrant even if we tried.
We were so glad our original celebrant cancelled.
One thing we love about Kate is that she is so down to earth and an absolutely beautiful soul.
After meeting her I knew that she was the one to marry my husband and I!
We honestly can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a celebrant.
She goes above and beyond to make sure your day is perfect and just the way you want it.
Thank you so much Kate for everything! ❤️❤️

I can’t begin to explain how amazing Kate is. Kate recently married my partner of 16 years and myself on 22nd May 2021. The day did not go as planned, not only did we have a last minute ceremony venue change due to bad weather, we also lost our MC for the night last minute. Kate handled the changes so well and also stepped up to host our reception as our MC for the evening. Kate did an outstanding job and kept everything rolling along smoothly, we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Kate’s warm, friendly and easy going nature made her the perfect fit for our wedding and I can’t recommend her enough.

There are no words that accurately describe the special role Kate had in our wedding day. She is warm, passionate and incredibly professional, and allowed us to create a wedding ceremony that suited us perfectly. She was always available to assist with timeline/vows/legal issues that may arise. Most importantly, Kate made an effort to not only get to know us, but also our family and friends that she met at various times in the lead up to the wedding. When the big day came, it felt like a long-time friend was marrying us. I am so glad we chose Kate as our celebrant, and would recommend her to friends who are looking for a celebrant in the future.

Kate even helped my husband write his vows!
If you are looking for a celebrant who is beautiful, down to earth, relaxed and makes it all about you... Kate is the one for you.
Can't thank you enough Kate Bellman!!!
We adore you ❤️❤️❤️

We can’t recommend Kate enough, not only did she marry us she also mc’d our reception. Her service is second to none, when we touched base with her we lived over 800kms away and needed to do all of the preliminary paper work and meetings online which was so easy for Kate, she made us feel calm and at ease with the whole process. This easy going attitude then blossomed into a beautiful friendship over the months of back and forth emails and Facebook messages before our wedding, on the day it was as if Kate was just an Aunty that had stepped in to make our love for each other official. Kate accommodated for our toddler being present at the ceremony and made the whole day a family event! We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect day! Thanks again Kate!!!

From the moment my partner and I met Kate we felt instantly calm and comfortable, by the end of our meeting with her we felt like we’d known her for ages! She was exactly the kind of person we knew we wanted to marry us.
Kate was calm, supportive and ready to change plans last minute if Covid threw us a curve ball.
She goes above and beyond and we will forever be grateful for her. We can’t recommend her enough.

Kate was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING from the moment we met her to the moment she left the ceremony. She was very professional and understanding but also very open minded which we needed with our lot!! She was great with my 3 year old son as well which is a huge plus! I don’t think our wedding would have been the same without her.I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a professional but extremely fun celebrant!! Thanks soo much Kate xx

Kate is amazing and she was a perfect fit for us and our family.
She is friendly, bubbly and a genuine soul.
Throughout the whole experience she was easy to contact and kept in contact with us, answering all our questions.
She personalised the ceremony to exactly what we wanted and it was perfect.
Kate became part of our family, celebrating with us.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

There’s not enough kind words to adequately describe our experience with Kate.
From our first phone call with her to discuss being our celebrant for our wedding, she immediately put us at ease allowing us so much input for what we wanted in a ceremony.
She then travelled 2hrs away from where she lives to catch up over lunch and discuss finer details, and finally on the day everything ran better than we could’ve even imagined.
I would recommend her for anyone looking for a fun, light-hearted and serious-when needs to be celebrant. Particular thank you for also using a loud “teachers” voice to round up our excited families for group photos following our ceremony. Above and beyond. Thank you Kate.

Kate was amazing from start to finish.
Kate is highly organised and made everything feel so easy for us. She made us feel so relaxed with the whole process with her calming and considerate nature.
We are so grateful to have had Kate help us on our special day.
We cannot recommend Kate enough.
Thank you for making our day so special.

From the moment we saw Kate at the wedding expo, we knew she was the one for us. Her bubbly personality was what drew us to her but after getting to know her we knew she was also very professional and knowledgeable about her job.
We knew we were in great hands and that our day would run smoothly.
The great part about Kate was on the day it didn’t feel like a stranger marrying us, it felt like we had another friend standing alongside us, which made some of those nerves go away.
Thank you Kate for being 100% amazing xx

Kate was a dream to work with from the moment we first met to our final goodbyes uttered on the wedding night.
her personable and easy—going personality made us instantly comfortable and it was clear that she was invested in giving us a truly unique and memorable wedding.
We couldn’t have asked for a better Celebrant and MC, she went above and beyond to make our night special (held babies, entertained toddlers and read speeches from family unable to attend).
I don’t think anyone who has met Kate has a bad word to say about her. So if you’re looking for someone who loves love and is a true professional, don’t look any further than Kate.

Kate was amazing from day one! She’s so organised and definitely puts all the legal stuff to ease. She was such a help on our wedding day when rain ruined our initial plans. She definitely took the stress off with her commitment to making sure everything ran smoothly.
She definitely goes above and beyond and we are so appreciative of her work.
We would definitely recommend to anyone still on the hunt for a Celebrant.
Lots of love, Samantha and Jerrod Kimber ~ 26.03.2022

After choosing to elope in Port Douglas with a handful of family, Kate gave my husband and I the most personal, kind and genuine support we could have hoped for.
Kate truly is what we needed; someone to nudge us in the right direction at times, feel like we should celebrate ourselves and created a beautiful ceremony for us at dawn as the sun rose.
Thank you so much Kate, you made everything feel easy and never a problem and thanks for keeping the rains away 😊

Kate was Amazing. She picked out the perfect location for our vow renewal by the beach, and helped out with lots of little extra things we didn't even think of.
Very easy to get along with and down to earth.
Would highly recommend.

Blessings by Kate is such a fitting name!
We asked for Kate to officiate our wedding quite last minute with the intention of a legals only. She didn't restrict us, or try to adjust or alter our wishes. She saw everything we wanted and guided us so beautifully that the day was just seamless.
You would be doing yourself a disservice to overlook Kate in your search for a Celebrant.
She is beautiful, warm, kind and you can tell she just loves her job.
Thank you Kate, for your incredible contribution to our special day ❤️

We first met Kate in June 2021, we were lucky enough that Kate was coming to Townsville for a naming ceremony and had the pleasure of meeting her.
From the moment we met, she told us she was a hugger, we instantly knew she was our celebrant. Throughout the entire 12 month planning process Kate was a massive help to us. Not only did she write an incredible ceremony, she assisted with vendors, was there whenever we needed advice, helped with our vows and was an incredible wedding day cheerleader.
When the day finally came the day everything ran smoothly, being in Kate’s presence instantly calmed both our nerves, it was like being married by one of your long term friends.
We were excited to have Kate join us to be our MC for the evening and wow she did not disappoint. She exceeded her MC duties and everyone was incredibly impressed by her. We had so many guests comment how amazing Kate was and we couldn’t agree more.
Kate, it’s safe to say our day wouldn’t have been the same without you.
We’re so glad you were a part of our day and we truly hope our paths cross again one day when we’re in Cairns again!
We will always recommend your services Xx

Kate is an absolute gem! Prompt and attentive, we could not invision our wedding ceremony without her. Our wedding guests also commented on Kate's friendly and welcoming smile upon entering our ceremony and she made our day just that little bit extra in comfort, laughter and lightheartedness. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Kate for contributing towards making our beautiful day being that 'little bit extra' of the amazing day that it was xx

We cannot thank Kate enough for conducting our marriage ceremony and for being such a wonderful support through the whole process of getting married.
In times of COVID uncertainty, Kate was so flexible to accommodate us, which we are so grateful for. Our interactions with Kate made it feel as if we had known her for years. Thank you for keeping us both calm and as collected as possible, and for those emergency tissues! We and our guests could not speak highly enough of Kate, and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone.

We couldn't have picked a better celebrant! Kate went above and beyond for our wedding from start to finish. She made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it.
If you're looking for a fun, easy going yet very professional celebrant then Blessings by Kate Bellman is definitely the one to go with!
