HELLO
I’m Patty Kikos and I’ve been a celebrant since 2005. I celebrate weddings and funerals, baby naming and vow renewals. I also facilitate yoga workshops and have a private practice as a counsellor and coach.
I’m based in Sydney but have been flown to wonderful places to solemnise weddings, such as Orange, Melbourne, Byron, and Queensland.
I have officiated hundreds of soulful ceremonies and have also presented and taught at many yoga & wellness events over 2 decades.
When I’m not outsourcing technical tasks, you can find me watching a sunset or going for long walks. I aspire to be a minimalist and am learning to whistle with my fingers.
It would be great to get to know you better and be the celebrant for your ceremony. I’d love to hear about your plans. Why don’t you message me to see if I’m available on your special day?
A QUICKIE
So you want a simple ceremony, but DEFINITELY don’t want to go to the Marriage Registry?I can’t say I blame you. In fact, I’d like to help you with a simple stress-free option.


A LONGER QUICKIE
This is ideal if you’re having a big wedding overseas but need to be legally married first, or only wish to have a very low key ceremony with only a few guests.

SAME SEX WEDDING
FINALLY HUH??? Marriage is an exciting time for all involved and remember, it’s YOUR special day! It’s important that your ceremony flows in a style that suits you both.
SAME SEX WEDDING

The things they say about me..

When your guests have "Celebrant Envy" you know you've got the best celebrant! Patty was so amazing. The wedding was exactly as we wanted it. Patty's professional approach ensured that we had the right mix of serious and light hearted moments. Our 5 year old daughter was perfectly included in the wedding ceremony too (we gave her a ring and it was such a beautiful moment). We love you Patty! Best day ever..Candice, Paul & Abby

Patty Kikos is a wonderful human - my healer, yoga teacher and our celebrant. We love you!

What can I say about Patty…. She is AMAZING!!! I cannot imagine anyone else having married us as she was such a huge part of making our day so special. Our ceremony was exactly how we wanted it to be, it was light hearted, authentic, personal and fun. Everyone on the day commented that it was one of the best ceremonies they have been to, and they loved Patty’s presence, inclusiveness and gorgeous vibes. Patty is incredibly helpful and supportive in the process of creating your ceremony and is full of great suggestions (especially if you’re not exactly sure what you want – which was us!!) She spent time getting to know us as a couple, our daughter, our history and our families to create the most beautiful moments for our wedding. Thank you patty for everything you did to make our day so wonderful, you were such a blessing

OVER 4 YEARS AGO This is the second time we have used Patty, the first was for a naming ceremony for my son, Jakob. Patty is as reliable as she is effervescent, as articulate as she is charming and has an excellent way of commanding guests with a gentle yet clear presence. Patty gives all of her energy when conducting a ceremony, and truly adds a level of 'magic' to the special ritual of committing love to one another. She is incredibly versatile, able to adapt to culturally or spiritually specific beliefs and has a contagious sense of humour. I recommend Patty to anyone who wishes for a ceremony to have both reverence and fun, her graciousness and charisma is hard to come by. Thank you Patty!

Patti was absolutely everything we wanted and more as our celebrant. I in all honesty had no idea how to even go about doing anything and she made everything a total breeze. We wanted something very simple, personal and small and that is exactly what she did for us. Patti you are such a beautiful soul and we cant thank you enough for everything. You made me feel so calm on the day and made everything wonderful. Thanks so much!!! a day to remember!

Patty was absolutely amazing, she made our day feel really special. Her bubbly personality and gorgeous smile lit up the room and made everyone feel comfortable. It's not just a job for Patty, its her passion and you can sense that as soon as you meet her. Our ceremony definitely wouldn't have been the same without her. I cannot thank Patty enough for making the most important day of my wife and I's lives so unique and wonderful

Your search for a celebrant is over ....Book Patty, and you'll never look back! From the moment we met, we knew Patty was the one to save us from the intense stress of planning our wedding! She took care of us like we were family & we felt blessed to have her guiding us into married life. Her professionalism is outstanding , but more importantly her personality is one of a kind. She took great care to give us a heartfelt, memorable and unique ceremony. Thankyou Patty, you're the best !

I don't even know where to begin on a review for Patty. My husband and I are from Canada and were fortunate enough to marry in Australia in 2012. Our great friends live in Sydney and the moment they found out we were getting married there they said "we have the perfect celebrant"... and that they did. From the very beginning Patty was incredible, from our late night Skype meetings to the hundreds of emails we sent back and forth. Our wedding was very small and intimate. Patty is a soul full of positive energy and she brought that into the whole experience. Her words are kind and uplifting, and she puts a magical and very personal touch on the ceremony. She is a very good judge of character and she quite quickly learns your personality throughout the skype meetings and various emails. She speaks from the heart and brings a passionate and meaningful aura to the whole ceremony which made the day absolutely perfect. Thank you Patty Cakes for adding your personal flair, it made our wedding day truly amazing!

Patty facilitated the most beautiful wedding ceremony for us last year. It was my favourite part of our big day, and Patty just made it so personal, so uniqueto who we are, and we were really able to relax knowing that Patty was taking care of things. We received a lot of positive feedback on how Patty facilitated our ceremony and people realised that there was a personal connection there, beyond someone we just hired for the day. We will forever be grateful to Patty for her part in making our ceremony so special- it really was a magic occasion and celebration of our love that we will always treasure in our hearts!

My husband and I are thrilled that we used Patty for our ceremony. She understood exactly what we were looking for and perfectly combined our interests to create a ceremony that was very personal and sacred. Patty attended to all the small details so that we didn't have to worry about a thing and had a lovely, welcoming presence so that all of our guests felt included and that they had been a part of something very special.

Wow - what an amazing day in October! It was a privilege Patty to have you as our celebrant and it made our day even more special because you were such an important part of it. You made us and all our guests feel relaxed, involved and always appropriately informed. You set the perfect tone of a relaxed and wonderful occasion but at the same time had everyone totally captivated and you 'commanded' those special moments just superbly. Thank you so much!

Where to start......... I cannot speak highly enough of Patty Kikos. We were referred to her by a friend and from the moment we sat a talked with Patty, we knew that we wanted her to be a part of our day. During the lead up Patty was brilliant. Her warm and energetic personality put my wife and I at so much ease that I even enjoyed the practice ceremony! Patty was genuinely interested in us as a couple from day one and as a result created a ceremony that reflected us perfectly. On the day itself Patty brought everyone (including strangers) together and was in total control of the crowd. We had such great feedback from our guests regarding Patty. Even my Mother-in-Law commentated on how good she was! I wouldn't hesitate in referring Patty Kikos to ANYBODY. Her warm, humor and professionalism were exactly what we were after for our big day. 11 out of 10

Patty was our wonderful marriage celebrant. Professional and warm-hearted, we couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us throughout the marriage journey. Patty supported us through the vow writing, the paperwork, the planning, the nerves and the giddiness. Essentially Patty was our warm, wise, guiding light!

I've been fortunate enough to have been a guest at 2 weddings which Patty Kikos was the Marriage Celebrant. It was the most amazing ceremony where you felt that you were part of the entire ritual. Both brides expressed how she just made everything so simple and smooth. So I have no hesitation in recommending Patty Kikos to sparkle your special ceremony.

I must say a huge Thank You to Patty for conducting our ceremony with such meaning, yet light and fun... we where so happy in every way with how it was conducted. So thank you for making the moment such a great memory... and we must say it was so perfectly suited to our characters... It really was 'A Perfect Ceremony' for us. You're the best!

From the get go Patty was so supportive and emotionally invested in our wedding. She was able to help us make our ceremony 'our own' and brought such a great energy on our big day (despite the rain)!

Hi Patty, you snuck out without saying goodbye - we had a gift for you! ?. Will need to give to you when we get back. Thank you again for a beautiful ceremony. Take care.

Whilst we were researching our upcoming wedding we put a call out to our friends for suggestions of a marriage celebrant. 3 friends from completely different circles recommended Patty as they had either used her themselves or had been at a wedding where she was the celebrant. This seemed like a good omen & from our very first meeting with Patty we were 100% that she was the right celebrant for us. Her service was impeccable, and she assisted us and lovingly guided us through the whole process (which can be a bit daunting when you have no idea what is involved!). Having Patty there on the day gave me an amazing sense of calm as we had total faith that her effervescent & lovely personality would be able to lead our friends and family and ensure a smooth ceremony. Afterwards we received so many compliments on Patty - she truly is one of a kind and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly special celebrant.

I truly can't imagine a better marriage celebrant than Patty. A unique combination of fun, enthusiasm, joy and absolute professionalism, Patty was integral in creating the perfect ceremony for myself and my husband and our family and friends. She seamlessly included family via Skype and made sure that they felt as if they were right there with us. She was a joy to work with, endlessly thoughtful and accommodating, and was praised by every single guest at our wedding. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking for a one in a million celebrant.

Patty is a one in a million! I had been to so many weddings where the celebrants looked bored, disinterested or robotically read off a clip board. Then I saw Patty in action. Not only was she the quintessential professional, she was warm, spontaneous, funny and brought everyone together making the ceremony so meaningful and absolutely unforgettable. I loved her so much that I used her services for my own wedding. Again she was outstanding. All our guests commented on how unique and fabulous she was. If you are looking for a celebrant, don't go any where else.

BABY NAMING
Not so interested in the traditional church christening? Me neither. A baby naming is an alternative rite of passage to a christening or baptism and are growing in popularity.

So it aint your first rodeo, and you’re wanting another celebration? Were you married overseas and family and friends were unable to attend or it’s a special anniversary?
