Fees
There is NO set celebrant fee

A great deal of time goes into ensuring that your ceremony is drafted according to your individual requirements. As a general guide, a minimum of at LEAST 20 hours+ goes into the preparation of every wedding ceremony. Every aspect is considered carefully to ensure that it is conducted to the highest professional standards and that it complies fully with the laws of marriage in Australia, in accordance with the provisions of the Marriage Act 1961.
