Kath Tilly

Kath Tilly is a Brisbane-based wedding celebrant who specialises in creating relaxed, personalised ceremonies for down-to-earth couples who want their wedding day to be authentically theirs. She’s part of a new wave of professional celebrants who approach ceremonies with a fresh perspective, blending modern sensibilities with meaningful tradition to create celebrations that feel genuine and memorable.

With a passion for discovering what makes each couple unique, Kath believes that the best ceremonies are those written especially for both partners. She takes time to really get to know her couples, ensuring that when she steps up to the microphone, everyone in attendance immediately recognises they’re about to witness something truly special. Her goal is simple but powerful: at the end of your ceremony, your family and friends turn to each other and say, “Wow, that was so [your names here].”

Kath’s approach to ceremony design is refreshingly modern. She loves mixing thoughtful traditional elements with fun, personal twists that reflect her couples’ personalities, values, and stories. Whether you’re envisioning a relaxed and playful celebration, something more traditional, or even something unconventional—like exchanging vows from a stunning mountain top—Kath is enthusiastic about bringing your vision to life. She works with couples to craft ceremonies that feel stress-free and genuinely enjoyable, not just for the couple, but for their guests as well.

Based in Brisbane, Kath services couples throughout Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and Noosa, and travels Australia-wide for those seeking her celebrant services. She offers all-inclusive ceremony packages designed to make the planning process straightforward and enjoyable, removing unnecessary stress from what should be an exciting time in your life.

Kath’s philosophy centres on the belief that your wedding ceremony should be a true reflection of your relationship. She specialises in creating intimate, meaningful moments that honour both partners equally—moving away from traditional formats that centre primarily on one person. Her ceremonies are designed to celebrate the unique love story you and your partner share, whether you’re planning an elaborate celebration with hundreds of guests or an intimate elopement.

If you’re an engaged couple looking for a Commonwealth authorised marriage celebrant who genuinely enjoys her work and brings warmth, professionalism, and creativity to every ceremony, Kath Tilly is ready to help you plan a day that’s authentically, beautifully yours.
