Vivienne Bate

More than a celebrant

Celebrating Your Story

I’m Vivienne Bate, a full-time celebrant with a background in Event Management at the International Convention Centre in Durban, South Africa. That’s where it all began. What started as a love for meaningful events has grown into my life’s work—now dedicated to honouring and celebrating the lives of those we hold dear.


This isn’t something I do on the side. It’s my passion and my purpose. I bring years of experience, compassion, and a genuine love for people into every service I create. I take the time to truly listen, to understand each story, and to craft a farewell that reflects the individuality, legacy, and spirit of a life lived.


I’m based in Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast, surrounded by peaceful and beautiful locations. Whether it’s a chapel, a garden, a beach, or a place that held special meaning, I travel from Brisbane to Byron Bay, from the Pacific Ocean to the Scenic Rim.


It would be my honour to help you create a heartfelt and meaningful tribute.
