About Kate Elizabeth Hingston

My role is to get to know you, hear your story and create a ceremony that feels genuine, relaxed and completely you. I love the stories, the laughs, the little quirks and all the things that make every couple different.

Your wedding day is all about you two, and that’s exactly where I believe the focus should be. Whether you’re planning something traditional, modern, relaxed or a little bit offbeat, I’ll work with you to create a ceremony that reflects your personalities and your relationship. No same old, same old here!

I bring a warm, friendly approach, a good vibe and plenty of experience to make sure you feel comfortable and enjoy the process along the way.

Your ceremony should be personal, meaningful and memorable, but it should also sound like you.

So, let’s have a chat and let's create 'your' journey together.

Coffee or wine? My shout!

Kate created the most beautiful ceremony for my husband and me on Thursday at our chosen location in Kinglake. She was amazing throughout the entire process, checking in, answering every question and making everything feel effortless. Her bright, bubbly presence on the day was exactly what we needed to calm the nerves and let us enjoy every moment. I couldn’t recommend Kate from One Stop Celebrant more. Love, the Crawfords.

Bree and Jack Kinglake / November 2025

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding celebrant! From the very first meeting, everything felt easy, warm, and well-organised. They truly listened to what we wanted and created a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and full of love. On the day, the ceremony was delivered so beautifully, calm, confident, and with the perfect balance of emotion and joy. So many of our guests commented on how lovely and smooth the ceremony was. Thank you Kate for making our special day so memorable. We are so grateful and would highly recommend you to anyone looking for an amazing wedding celebrant.

Manpreet Singh Bendigo / December 2025

We cannot thank Kate from One Stop Celebrant enough for making our ceremony so incredibly special. From our very first meeting, she made us feel at ease and took the time to truly understand our story. On the day, she was a calming presence and delivered a ceremony that was perfectly 'us'—full of love, laughter, and tears. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how personal and engaging she was. If you want a celebrant who feels like a friend, Kate is the one!

Diane Trentham / February 2026

We found Kate while searching for a celebrant for our wedding, and aren’t we so incredibly glad that we did. From our very first meeting, she understood that our love story wasn’t just a ceremony… it was a celebration, a true reflection of who we are, surrounded by our favourite people. Thank you so very much for officiating our wedding. From start to finish, you made the entire process feel effortless, seamless, and genuinely enjoyable. On the day itself, we felt completely at ease knowing we were in the best hands. “One Stop Celebrant” truly sums up everything you are — organised, warm, professional, and simply wonderful at what you do. Forever grateful,

Alan and Ebony MacKenzie Quarters Bendigo / Febuary 2026

Kate thank you so much for being our celebrant at our wedding. You were so professional, experienced, calming, kind, fun and made everything run so so smoothly. We were very impressed with our first meeting. You really worked in with what we wanted and made sure it was our own individual ceremony. The information in our folder you provided to us was so useful. Step by step guidance, all the information you need for before and after your married. I didn't have to think about anything, you had links, ideas etc all there ready for me which was so handy. I really loved the rehearsal the day before the wedding. You are so organised and efficient. You guided us through everything, made us feel calm and it made the whole bridal party feel confident with what we needed to do. You really did go that extra mile to make our day perfect. All the finishing touches were so special - the booklet of our ceremony etc just beautiful. My family were also very impressed by you. I would absolutely recommend you to everyone and thank you so much for our special ceremony x

Shirin and Sam Cummins Toolleen / 12/03/2023

Than you so much for everything Kate! Everything was perfect last night and you were AMAZING! We were very lucky to have stumbled across you and couldn’t of asked for a better Celebrant ❤️

Diana Hermansyah Paradise, Victoria / 12/03/2023

Kate was absolutely fantastic. She was able to help us make our ceremony special and unique to us. Her positivity and friendly smile was contagious.

Janita Dundon Tooborac, Victoria / 12/03/2023

From start to finish, Kate was amazing. She took the stress out of the ceremony planning, guiding us through the process of writing our vows and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the day. She has a real talent for storytelling and captivated our guests with the way she shared our "how we met" story. We loved how she incorporated our family and friends into the ceremony, making it feel so inclusive and joyful. We highly recommend Kate to any couple looking for a celebrant who truly cares."

Justine and Andreas Maiden Gully / 2020

It was so wonderful to have Kate officiate our wedding. Kate went to every effort to ensure that our ceremony was everything we wanted it to be and more and very easy to communicate with.

I got into the celebrant business when my partner’s sister asked me to be a stand-in celebrant for her wedding (with a real celebrant doing the legal parts but with me doing everything else). I couldn’t believe how much fun it was! I had members from both families telling me I’d found my calling and ended up being the stand-in celebrant for her brother’s wedding too. After doing my second wedding as an unofficial celebrant, I knew I needed to do this for real.

I really love being a Marriage Celebrant and I’ve had the privilege of officiating at many wonderful and varied ceremonies.

Lovely, happy occasions where smiles, laughter and emotions came through naturally, from the heart.  Seeing people happy – it’s just fabulous!

First of all, let’s catch up for an obligation free chat – I would love to hear what you have in mind for your ceremony.

After this, if you would like me to be your Celebrant, we can lock in your date and take it from there.

An elegantly simple ceremony or one steeped in ritual, it’s your choice – it’s your special day – let’s make it that way!
