Wedding, Commitment & Vow Renewal Ceremony Fees
My ceremony costs begin at $650 for weddings, commitment celebrations and renewal of vows.
For other ceremonies such as namings, rites of passage, funerals, et al costs start at $350. (see Rites of Passage ceremonies cost)
All ceremony costs depend on a few factors, such as length and style of ceremony, with an additional add on for travel if necessary (any travel over 50 km).
Please note: there is a fee reduction for weekday ceremonies, just ask me more.
This fee includes, but is not limited to:
- An original wedding ceremony
- Unlimited email and phone (or Skype) consultations
- Two face-to-face or Skype video meetings to complete legalities and create your ceremony
- Research and resource materials
- Rehearsal or final consultation meeting
- Full Script & Cue Sheets prior to the wedding, for your wedding party, musicians, wedding planner, &c
- Day of ceremony, consulting with anyone involved with your ceremony
- Officiating on the day of your ceremony
- Mailing expenses for the marriage registration with Birth Deaths and Marriages
- Lodging of all marriage documentation with Birth Deaths and Marriages
- A final digital copy of the ceremony
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to hold your date for any wedding, and due when we sign the contract (usually at first face-to-face meeting).
I donate a portion of my fee to a worthy organisation of your choosing, in honour of your wedding/civil union.
