Wedding Ceremony Pricing

Budgeting is important for most couples planning a wedding.  Each ceremony is different and there are many factors to take into consideration.  However I have tried to provide some guidelines below, that will give you an idea of the fees involved in various types of ceremonies that I offer.

For a weekend wedding taking place mid-afternoon, my prices vary between $800 and $900. Midweek the price would usually be much lower.  These prices will depend on a number of factors, such as location, if a PA is required, number of guests etc.  I am certainly not the lowest priced Celebrant in Perth – however I do aim to create a beautiful and memorable ceremony for you. This can take many hours, and often involves many email exchanges.

I am also happy to work closely with your photographer to make sure that he/she is able to capture the beautiful photos that you will treasure in years to come.

Standard fees:

Simple Tailored Ceremony:

I would write a ceremony just for you.  You would be able to add personal touches so that the ceremony would reflect you as a couple, but a simpler approach than the longer, Fully Personalised Ceremony.   You would have the opportunity to include personal vows, words, readings and songs of your choice.

Usual Price Range within Perth:

Weekend  Ceremony:                  $700 – $750

Monday – Thursday                          less 10%

Fully Personalised Ceremony:

I ‘interview’ each of you, by means of a personal questionnaire so that, using your answers, I can weave elements of “Your Story”,  throughout the ceremony on the day.  I will ask you questions such as: how you view your future together; what your dreams are; what your family and friends mean to you; what it is you see in the other person that makes them perfect for you; what has made this relationship so special etc – that will help me to create a picture of you and give your guests the background to your story.  You would also have the opportunity to include personal vows, words, readings and songs of your choice. 

Usual Price Range within Perth:

Weekend  Ceremony:                  $800 – $900

Monday – Thursday                          less 10%

Registry Style Ceremony:

For less than 10 guests.  A short and simple ceremony.  Often used by couples having their “Wedding Day” event at another time or place, such as overseas.  This service also allows couples to have a friend or family member to be ‘their celebrant’ on the Day.  This is an increasingly popular option – particularly since Covid restrictions affecting families during this time.  You would also have the opportunity to include personal vows, words and readings if you wish.

Usual Price Range within Perth:

Weekday  Ceremony:  Monday – Friday from 7am- 8pm.   $350- $450 

(For Registry Style Ceremony at weekends, please ask for a separate quote.)

‘Outside the box’ fees: 

Monday – Thursday: less 10%

As you can see, for a simple midweek ceremony, using a pre-written script the price could be as low as $630! This for a Ceremony that could still be held at a place and time to suit you.  For example a small ceremony in a park on a late afternoon during the week could be followed by a glass of champagne and a picnic with family and a couple of friends.  No need to fight with central Perth traffic and find parking in the City!

How simply perfect……

Commitment Ceremonies or Same Sex Ceremonies:

When conducting these beautiful ceremonies, I take just as much care as if I were celebrating a Legal Wedding.  As there is no documentation for the office of Births Deaths and Marriages, I offer a $50 reduction.  Other than that, I believe that these Ceremonies should be treated with as much honour and respect as a full Legal Marriage.
