Why are celebrants prices so varied?

Great question! This is a growing industry and it is not regulated by any price categories or restrictions. Due to that you will find that celebrants who perform their duties in certain areas might be priced due to the saturated market for wedding vendors or the lack there of. Like a lot of things in life, you get what you pay for. I truly believe in my services and while I may have a mid range price tag attached to my service, it is all inclusive. You will find some celebrants charge for extra meetings and inclusions in the ceremony like hand binding or sand ceremonies, whereas mine is included. You will not get any nasty surprises leading up to your wedding of extra amounts being charged. A trestle table and glitchy PA system is not my style and you will feel secure knowing you've made the right choice.

FAQ

What does your celebrant services include?

My celebrant role includes unlimited meetings, either in person, by phone or email, use of a professional PA system, a rehearsal of the big day (if you want one!), completion and submission of all related paperwork, and your legal marriage certificate ordered for you from Birth's Deaths and Marriages (if married in NSW only).

What paperwork needs to be completed?

As part of my duties as a Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant, It is my job to ensure that your marriage is accurately recorded and all official paperwork completed correctly.

Once you decide that I'm the celebrant for you, we will complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) this must be completed no later than 1 month prior to your wedding date and no sooner than 18 months.

You will Sign an Offical Marriage Certificate and The Marriage Register on the day of your wedding. (prefilled by me prior to your ceremony)

All Documentation will be submitted to Births, Deaths, and Marriages by me.

Do you have a wireless PA system?

I do have a wireless mic and speaker I can supply for the ceremony which does not require power allowing the location to be free of cables and power outlets. I can also play music through the system if required. BUT if you're having an intimate wedding and you feel this will not add to your overall wedding vibe, we can go acoustic. I've got experience in public speaking so I assure I can project my voice when needed.

What will you wear?

I will wear what ever you want me to!

I always make every effort to co-ordinate as best I can to your bridal colours and styles, so tell me what colours your bridesmaids are wearing, what flowers you will carry, and the theme of your wedding, so I can fit in as best I can. And I am more than on board for costume/dress themes!!

Is there a template or traditional/legal structure we must follow?

Absolutely not!!

Apart from the few sentences of legal wording that is needed for the marriage to be legitimate, the rest is up to you. Be as traditional or as out of the box as you would like!

A lot of couples these days are opting for variations in the ceremony choosing to do away with the traditions that aren't as relevant to them such as the giving away and the readings and are instead including music verses and lucky dip witnesses (ask me - it's so fun). My job is to provide you the options and make them a reality on the day.

Jodie made everything about our ceremony an absolute breeze! She was able to accomodate the various family members that we wanted involved in our special day and came to the party with some amazing reading suggestions, as I wanted scripture included! The option for a rehearsal the day before meant that everyone involved knew exactly what was expected and that our day ran smoothly! Jodie’s bubbly and easy to get along with personality made her the best wedding celebrant we could’ve hoped for and I don’t hesitate in recommending her to others!
