The woman on the left is holding a microphone, wearing a green dress, and the other two men on the right are dressed in black tuxedos, one wiping his eye, possibly tearing up. The scene is decorated with pink and white flowers.

So you have found your way over to website hey? Well a big warm cuddle and welcome to you.

Once upon a time, long ago in a small town high school on the Mid North Coast, a very special teacher said to me ‘Hey Katie have you thought about doing events?’ and that is WHEN IT ALL STARTED. In all seriousness though, that’s actually when I fell in love with events.
I was 16 when I started my Certificate III in Events, jumping head first into events. I spent every year from then on out, wrapping my hands around any event I could.

By the time I hit my early 20’s I had landed my first event coordinator position. I was obsessed, throwing everything into my job and spending way too many hours at work. At this time I started dabbling in public speaking. I completed a short course in public speaking and began speaking at different charity events.

I decided to take the experience I had and move to a city and into an even bigger position. I become a venue coordinator of a well established and BUSY venue within Newcastle. In peak wedding season, I was turning over 4 weddings PER WEEKEND! To say I learnt a lot was an understatement.

And amongst that chaos, the idea of Sincerely Katie bloomed. At this point of my career, I had emceed 4 friends weddings, been a bridesmaid (or groomsmen) 8 times and MC’ed multiple charity events - to say I was craving a microphone would’ve been an understatement, so amongst a 40-50 hour work week, I started my studies to be a registered marriage celebrant.

And that leads to me to here - a registered civil celebrant, trained public speaker and qualified event coordinator who operates with pure honesty, kindness, empathy and love. I am so incredibly honored and honestly quite proud to be here, running this business.

Any who, that’s me.

Sincerely,
Katie x

Oh hey there - I’m Katie!

My Approach

Group of people standing indoors at a social event, some smiling and listening to a woman speaking into a microphone.

I have ALWAYS believed in the importance of events and weddings in life. They are everywhere and constantly around - try watching a TV show or movie without there being some kind of event element in it. A wedding or a birthday or a funeral or even music festivals. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! Which is why I operate Sincerely Katie with respect and integrity - events are dang important!

KINDNESS

Above all, kindness is what I hold highest! I will not judge or offered a biased opinion - your wedding is YOUR WEDDING so kindness is an element that will make sure you feel supported.

RESPECT

Through every step, I am focused on staying respectful to your wedding, making space for thoughtful, lasting work.

HONESTY

I work on the basis of truth, ensuring that I have communicated clearly and honestly, ensuring your wedding is respected and cared for.
