Meet Kate Hingston

Charismatic. Passionate. Inclusive.

Kate is your One Stop Celebrant

My celebrant journey started back in 2012 when I read a poem at a friend’s wedding, and something in me just clicked. I knew then that was the path I needed to take.

Moving forward, 14 years later, I am a marriage celebrant, helping couples create personalised wedding ceremonies throughout Bendigo and Central Victoria. Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement, a relaxed country wedding, a vow renewal or a baby naming ceremony, I’ll work with you to tell your story in a way that feels authentic, warm and uniquely yours.

I bring my heart and care into every ceremony I create. For me, it’s all about connection, storytelling, and celebrating life in all its forms. Whether you’re after something traditional, modern, quirky, or completely offbeat, I’m here to make it happen. I keep things current, bring a good vibe, and make sure your day feels special.

Let’s chat over a coffee or a wine! My shout!

Ceremonies I offer:

  • Weddings
  • Vow renewals
  • Naming Days
  • Saying Goodbye (Funerals)

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. Not only did Kate do an amazing job but brought a happy and bubbly vibe to our day. Couldn’t have asked for anything better, thank you again Kate xx

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.

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! Di and Brian February 2026

What a great time we had planning our surprise wedding with Kate. Such a calm and relaxed process, unlike many wedding plans. Kate had some fantastic ideas that ended up making our night one to remember for us and all our guests. We would highly recommend Kate anytime.
Alan & Ebony February 2026
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,
