How much does a Marriage Celebrant cost ??
What a great question.The question is simple but the answers vary somewhat . "How much does a Celebrant cost". How long is a piece of string. Celebrants in Sydney and around Australia range in price from $700 through to $1800.
There is the old saying. You pay for what you get. A Celebrant should reflect on what they offer and be totally honest.
Having been a celebrant for 12 years now and with approximatley 2400 wedding ceremonies completed, I feel my fee is extremely good value for an experienced Marriage Celebrant.
A marriage celebrant will "make or break " your day.They are ones who start your marriage and celebration for that matter. So it is essential you have a Marriage Celebrant that is experienced,polite,obliging and also knows how to start the day off in a friendly positive manner.
Some couples do not place much emphasis on the selection of their Marriage Celebrant. They feel that the cheapest is the best because let's face it they are only saying a few words and over charge.
This is very much incorrect. The celebrant should one of the biggest decisions the couple will make.
My fees are very reasonable compared with my
competitors here in the Eastern Suburbs and Mosman and I actually come in
approximately $150 to $300 cheaper. There are many male celebrants in Sydney
who charge $1000 $1300 and above.
My fee
is under $950. I do not charge for any extras, such as parking, petrol
and tolls, the use of my PA, music through my PA, extra meetings if needed,
rehearsal/run through's as some Celebrants do.
My fee includes:
1. All meetings
2. A rehearsal
3. A personalised ceremony to suit the couple.
4. Sample ceremonies, including vows, “askings” and
readings to work with.
5. Use of my PA system to conduct the ceremony and
“run” music through.
6. Unlimited email and phone access.
7. Solemnisation of the wedding ceremony (conducting
the wedding.)
In
accordance with Australian Law Marriage Act 1961
8. A Commonwealth Government Marriage Certificate
given on your wedding day.
9. Submission of all paperwork and certificates to
the NSW Births deaths and Marriages.
10. Application link or paper application form for
the Official Certificate of Marriage from the NSW BDM if the couple want this certificate
for name changes.
My particular extremely good value for an experienced Marriage Celebrant.

Kind regards Gary
