Fees

Celebrant Fees reflect many inclusions and I will work with you in a friendly and relaxed manner to design and deliver your ceremony within an affordable structure.

Each and every ceremony is special and brings with it unique facets that you will contribute.  Your ceremony should be about the both of you, what you believe in and what you want! Your celebration should never be an ‘insert name here’ ceremony, so remember Celebrant Fees should reflect the work required to have your ceremony be what it is you want it to be.

The price you will be quoted is an all-inclusive price with no hidden costs. You know what your budget is, and I don’t believe you should be hit up with surprises!

• Creation and delivery of ceremony
• If applicable Registration of the marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages for the state in which you were married
• Travel to venue on ceremony day
• Celebrant and copyright insurance
• Use of wireless PA system when needed so all of your guests can hear (and to play your chosen music during your ceremony)
• Two meetings, including a rehearsal for marriage, commitment and renewal of vows ceremonies. Naming ceremonies do not include a rehearsal.
• Attorney General’s Marriage Certificate (marriage ceremonies only)
• Presentation certificate and a copy for both mothers
• Unlimited email and telephone contact
• Plus … lots of fun along the way.

Our first meeting is obligation free. This allows you the chance to ‘suss’ me out and to chat about your wants and dreams for your ceremony. Together we can make it fresh, relaxed and romantic.

I do offer a Registry Office style marriage ceremony. Its content may not include all of the above.

A non-refundable booking fee of $300.00 is due and payable within seven days of the invoice date. The balance of fees is payable no later than twenty eight days prior to your ceremony.

Payment may be made to me by cash or electronic funds transfer to my bank account and receipts will be issued for all payments made.  Sorry, but credit card facilities are not available.

Extras may include, but are not restricted to, the following:

• excess travel over 150 kilometres – please discuss this with me;
• accommodation;
• costume hire;
• extra meetings or rehearsals;
• correspondence with government departments or other organisations.

Your ceremony date and time is secured only on receipt of the booking fee or full payment.

A full set of terms and conditions are set out in my official invoice/contract.

In the event that I am not able to perform the ceremony, for whatever reason, every effort will be made to locate a replacement celebrant and all monies owing will be payable to that celebrant. If I fail to organise another celebrant to attend, all fees paid shall be refunded, excluding any payment made for services that have already been executed (e.g. marriage visa letters). These will be on-forwarded to your new celebrant.

Once the balance of fees is paid no refund is available.

I carry current Celebrant and Copyright Insurances.
