Katie Reeve

Marriage Celebrant. Funeral Celebrant. Life Celebrant.

Tasmania, Australia

Katie Reeve (AKA me!) creates ceremonies for Marriages, Funerals, and non-legal celebrations. She’s a ‘walk beside you ‘, the ultimate ‘outside eye ‘, the ‘yes, I sure can make that happen person’.

A change to master storyteller, she writes her ceremonies from scratch taking into consideration your styling, music, words, vibe, emotional journey (and so on, and so forth), with an ever-watchful eye on the overall experience!

With a strong sense of peace outdoors amongst, well, nature (insert anything from trees to lakes, to bracken here), she likes to think of herself as a ‘Bushwalking Celebrant’, whether that be 2 or 20,000 steps from the car. With an interest in outdoor ceremonies, shoes have got to be optional, right? Fear not, though; she is totally up for donning the heels and doing the venue thang… whatever the calling!

Whatever the calling, there are places on this earth that speak to your heart and instil a sense of love, connection, and peace within you. A soulful connection and public declaration of love can be witnessed by more than our nearest and dearest. Why not include the laugh of a kookaburra or squark of a seagull…?!

All terrains, from beautiful venues to rugged bush. I’m in!

Let’s wander… the Bush Walking Celebrant. Shoes optional.

There are places on this earth that call your heart and instil a sense of love, connection, and peace within you. These places are often untouched wild destinations not accessible by car. The significance of the wedding vows always deserves reverence and grace, coupled with a beautiful, inspiring setting, on top of a mountain, deep in a valley, midway across a creek, the water trickling between your toes… Nature will hold the space while you hold the vows.

I’ve got the map; you’ll have each other. Together we will walk, arrive, settle and marry, be the sun high or low in the sky.

Sounds poetic, yes? …Shall we wander?

Tell Me More…

Switch off from the quick pace of suburban life and walk to a place of natural beauty. I’ll hike in with you and marry you, wherever that place may be. This is a great option for those who want to focus on personal connection and ‘less stuff’. Let’s find all we need to celebrate love in our natural environment.

We will pay our respects and thank the indigenous owners of the land and the elders past, present, and emerging for caring for the land and its people.

Let’s Meet ‘n’ Greet. An initial, obligation-free meeting to see if we are a perfect match. I’ll show you what I can do and listen to what you want to do.

ABOUT ME

This photo of me? Fancy pants photo. In reality? I’m a Story Collector, Professional Celebrator, and Compére of Ceremonies PLUS Mum of 2, gardening lover, eco-warrior and Cat kisser (not entirely true, I don’t kiss my cat, it just seemed to flow, but I do love him). Lover of: people, people’s stories, music that tells people’s stories, music that tells people’s stories alongside words and rituals. Get me over a coffee, watching the world go by, chatting about life, and I’ll be tinkering away in my head on how to orchestrate your celebration.

You’re pretty good at living your life. I’m pretty good at championing.

I listen to your ideas, needs, stories, and requests. I collect, collate, and reflect. I write. I suggest. I confer. I come back to you with my ideas on how WE can celebrate YOUR event so that it is uniquely YOU based on what YOU have given ME.

Quietly, I think it is such a joyful process, with you at the helm (Project Manager) and me at the rear (supporting, ahem – insert chuckle here).

There are no words strong enough to express how great Katie is.She made us both feel completely at ease for the lead up and on the wedding day. She's just such a calming and lovely presence.No task or question was too hard and everything we threw at her, she accepted so willingly. She gave us some really epic ideas for the ceremony to include special people we wanted. There were so many laughs and tears. Not once did she make it about herself or anyone else but us.So many people complimented our choice in celebrant and asked where we found her which we so willingly passed on her details of course!

Katie provided us with exactly the kind of wedding service we were after.It was a small, intimate ceremony and Katie's kind and personalised words were perfect.Her audio equipment was perfect for everyone to hear everything, including the valued guests around the world who weren't able to attend in person but could watch through a live stream.She was also very effective at reassuring a nervous groom that everything would go smoothly - and it did!
