My fee charge for a marriage ceremony is $500 for 10 people or less and $1000 for over 10 people.
At the initial meeting a non refundable of $50.00 booking fees will be charged so that the date for wedding is secured and no other wedding bookings will be undertaken. I like to provide and ensure my couples that date they booked the wedding with me is allocated ONLY for their special day. There will not be double or triple bookings of wedding for that particular day!
On average I spent a total of 15-20 hours of time in both developing and implementing of tasks on each ceremony.
This includes:
- My initial consultations with the couples including the tasks of completing and lodging of the Notice of Intended of Marriage and or registering of all relevant statutory documentations and Initial stage of getting the draft wedding ceremony organised.
- My second meeting consultation to completing and lodging of the Form – 14 and or registering of all relevant statutory documentations
- Pre-ceremony rehearsal and finalisation if the wedding ceremony draft
- Confirmation of wedding ceremony plans
- My final meeting with the couple to conduct the wedding ceremony and signing all relevant documentation and official introduction of the couple and presentation of the wedding certificates
Additional tasks completed behind the scene such as pre-ceremony follow-up calls visits and or emails regarding the ceremony and liaising with Government departments such as department of Immigration, Births, Deaths and Marriages.
- preparing ceremonial certificates
- travelling to the venue and conducting the ceremony and arriving at the venue at least 40 minutes prior to the ceremony start-time to set up and liaise (as required)
- preparation and posting of the “Marriage Momentum” booklet along with the seeking post-ceremony feedback.
Please note: I consider my role as the Marriage Celebrant to be an honourable service. I personally do not place my priority in making great deal of financial profit by undertaking this service. What is important for me is that you and your partner experience the greatest satisfaction on your wedding day with my service and that you both feel the cost you spent on this service has been a worthwhile expenditure. I invite you both to accept my invitation to attend an obligation-free meeting to discuss your ceremony
