My name is Catherine (Kate) Thomas, a Registered Celebrant in the Great Southern.
Over the past 20 years I have mainly conducted weddings; I will continue to officiate at a small number of weddings and when invited, will assist with funerals. You may be assured that such occasions will be managed in a caring and compassionate manner.
As a Celebrant, I can perform your service in, or at, the venue of your choice, including coastal locations, gardens, a function centre, or at your home – the choice of place for your memorable day is yours. Ceremonies can include as much or as little of your preferred verse, poems and music as you wish, with special inclusion of family, children and friends, together with meaningful rituals.
I do hope that you will choose me to act as your celebrant to commemorate and formalise the significant occasions in your life.
Ceremonies commemorate important events in our lives,
creating lasting memories that will always be with us.
Whatever the occasion, your celebration is unique and special and I would love to help ensure it is memorable for all the right reasons.
“Championing end of life conversations within the community in a positive way that helps people make the most of their lives has won a local woman Albany’s Citizen of the Year award.
Instead of avoiding the tough conversations about death, Kate Thomas has been confronting the topic head-on through initiative, she co-founded Albany Death Café, volunteering for many years to break down the stigma around death and ensure families and individuals have a plan regarding the end of life.
A trained nurse and end of life celebrant, Kate spends her time helping those she interacts with make the most of every day. In co-founding the Albany Death Café, Ms Thomas has helped provide a safe and welcoming environment for community members to share stories, advice and grieve.
Ms Thomas was one of 13 individuals and organisations nominated in Albany’s Australia Day Active Citizenship Awards for outstanding contributions to the community. This year’s nominees featured volunteers and community members from indigenous, youth, sports, health, education, religious and arts communities, highlighting the rich diversity of the Albany community.”
Beautiful ceremonies, designed to suit your needs and wishes are my speciality. Whether you live on WA's south coast in the Albany-Denmark area or elsewhere, the region offers stunning scenery and magnificent venues to create a memorable day.
I invite you to contact me to discuss any and all aspects of your plans.
It will be my pleasure to work with you to create the ceremony you wish.
