The Celebrant sets the tone for the rest of your Wedding celebrations and therefore needs to be selected very carefully. When comparing fees think of the expense involved in a Wedding Cake $400, hire cars up to $450 and Flowers $500. Given that your Marriage Celebrant is the one person/expense you must have at your Wedding I encourage you to focus on having a Celebrant who you can relate to, one who will give you a meaningful ceremony which reflects on who you are and what marriage means to you, someone who instills in you both a level of confidence that your ceremony will be handled professionally, one who undertakes Professional Development each year and adheres to a high level of service and abides by the Celebrants Code of Practice are key features in selecting a Celebrant.

It is fair to say, as in all professions, we are all different, some may not have the passion and attention to detail that you may desire. Do not be swayed by cheap quotes, remember, you get what you pay for.

Even though most guests only see the Celebrant for less than an hour at the Wedding, the reality is each Wedding requires at least 13 hours – even the simple ones with only a few guests. The preparation time is required in consultations, checking the Notice of Intended Marriage form and legal documents, writing and creating the Ceremony, the Rehearsal, countless emails, printing of the Marriage Certificates and documents. Then on the day, checking of all the details, travelling time, making sure personal presentation is at it’s best, early arrival to set up and talk to those involved, conduct the Wedding Ceremony and afterwards the responsibility of registering the Marriage with Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Your Celebrant is usually flexible with booking times and makes themselves available for evening appointments and works weekends. Taking all this into account, your Celebrant’s fee is only a small percentage in the overall Wedding budget.

The Ceremony is the most important part of your day. It is the memory you make which will support you in the future and it is the blueprint for your Marriage. What is said and what is done in the Ceremony obviously needs careful preparation so give your Wedding Ceremony considerable attention. There are many details which contribute to a great Ceremony. This is the special moment in your life when you and your beloved express the love and commitment you have for each other with your friends and family. The memory of that sacred moment will stay with you throughout your married life.
