    Could it get any better? Seriously! Whales breaching, an aircraft display, bubbles blown, romantic acoustic guitar by Isaac, awesome energy from family and friends and a perfect evening breeze. Ballina knows them well and did all she could to return the favour for their many and valued community contributions.

    Sometimes less really is more. This was the case for the wedding of N and J. It was at home among close family who already know them better than I ever will. It was still a big deal. There was still so much joy, as you can see, but it was kept simple and words…

    Best day ever at Goolmangar Hall

    September 28, 2020November 16, 2020 ByCatherine Yager 0

    Small communities are awesome. For country weddings, everyone’s so generous, pitching in to make sure the couple have the best day ever. This was definitely the case for J and L and just shows how well-loved they are.

    Mind you, J and L knew roughly what they wanted and in the months leading up to their…

    Classical music filled the air and garden as M and P strolled towards their family and friends. Against a breathtaking natural backdrop, they made their marriage vows.

    M and P put so much thought into this union. Spring, a season for new growth. Exactly one year after the proposal. The silk, the designer, the dress, the…

    What are the chances? No-one imagined the drought would break and bring heavy rain on their wedding day…
    But it did. And it broke hard. Fifteen minutes before their ceremony. Not everyone got wet. Most people had umbrellas. But I didn’t. This was a beach wedding and I looked like I’d just been for a swim…

    How awesome to have your children at your wedding! This wedding was all about family. Looking stunning and surrounded by their nearest and dearest before COVID-19 was a thing, K and R made their own marriage vows.

    They had been going out for only a few months when K pointed out a ring that she loved…

    Wedding bliss at Mount Warning

    As the mist cleared over Mount Warning, guests gathered in the beautiful garden at Mavis’s Kitchen for M and J’s wedding. Just look at the joy on M’s face! She has found her happily ever after.

    It was a happy day. It was their day. And thanks to Zoom, we shared the celebrations with distant family…

Wow!! Where do we start? Firstly, I think we need... to say that if you are looking for a celebrant that gives more than 100% of herself, then Catherine is the celebrant for you. She did everything possible to make our wedding day so special and exactly as we dreamed it would be. At no time did Catherine make us feel we were asking too much of her and in fact, we cannot believe she charges so little compared to other celebrants. We sincerely want to say thank you to Catherine for making our support magical. Jane and Dave Newsteadread more

" Our wedding was made extra special by our... incredibly warm celebrant Catherine Yager. Catherine went over and above to get to know us personally by sending individual questions for the bride and groom to answer, enabling her to weave lovely personal words through our ceremony. The interactive tying of the knot with 5 coloured ribbons brought the tapestry of our families together. A wonderful celebration of love. We felt relaxed and calm in Catherine’s very organised hands.read more

Searching for a wedding celebrant felt... overwhelming as there seemed to be so many options! Our initial reaction to Catherine's website was to notice her warm professionalism. From our initial phone contact through to the day of our ceremony, Catherine demonstrated that she was careful and attentive to details while providing us with a sincere presence. Overall Catherine was the perfect celebrant for us.read more

We could not speak highly enough of Catherine,... who from the start 'got us', making us feel completely at ease. After her first visit with us, we both felt immediately that 'this was the one'🙂 We then started to make things difficult by changing the wedding date on more than one occasion and we were never made to feel like anything was a hassle. Catherine being a true romantic at heart, loves what she does and despite our nerves you can't help but get caught up in it all. Our ceremony was funny, heartfelt, relaxed and above all very much us. We could not recommend Catherine enough to make your special day even more special. Thank you Catherine.read more

Catherine was an amazing celebrant. Super... friendly, caring, easy going and listened to what we wanted for our day. She really went above and beyond to make sure our surprise wedding not only stayed a surprise but the made the whole process go smoothly. She always made sure we were going okay along the way and was even so accommodating to us when it came to our meetings. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a celebrant. Thank you Catherine!read more

  • Content,fulfilled love. Look at those eyes - they say so much. The after-glow of a wonderful wedding ceremony.  Small communities are awesome. For country weddings, everyone’s so generous, pitching in to make sure the couple have the best day ever. This was definitely the case for J and L and just shows how well-loved they are.

Mind you, J and L knew roughly what they wanted and in the months leading up to their wedding, their ideas evolved to result in a very unique celebration that truly reflected their style.

First there was the calming incense wafting through the hall and meadowy wildflowers so fresh they were placed seconds prior to the wedding. Then the Radiohead entrance music and a Homer Simpson vow.

From the deeply meaningful handfasting with parents to the hairy-chested guy in a bridesmaid dress. Then the earthly Apache blessing to the script that turned into a guestbook.

All culminated in a thunderous foot-stomping congratulations on the timber floor as J and L walked back up the aisle. It was a fantastic start to married life!

Goolmangar Hall has a new story to tell of the couple that dealt with changing COVID-19 restrictions to make sure their wedding was truly a celebration of their own relationship, embraced by a warm community of family and friends. There were no pretences, and there were big smiles all around.

There’s a new couple in town. Well done J and L – a wedding to remember.  #byronbaywedding #engaged #bride #groom #countrywedding #northernriversnsw #uniquewedding

  • Wholly. It’s your day. Let’s do it your way. Your wedding ceremony should set the vibe for the rest of the day. Yes, there’s a few little legal details to tend to, but the ceremony is where your relationship - your unique and significant love - needs to be captured and truly celebrated. This is where I really get to work for you. I want to ‘get’ the sparkly magic that makes you two shine, then showcase it to the world. A genuine sense of who you are and why you are better together. I’m one hundred per cent focused on you. #northernriversweddings #celebrant #weddingphotography #elope #bride #groom
