FAQ
A lot of celebrants will tell you there are no fixed prices as each wedding is unique; a “ballpark” figure for a ceremony ranges from $600 to $1500. With the average around $850 plus any extras you might want, such as doves, wine, balloons, etc.
I on the other hand will send you to my webpage which describes all three types of weddings, all of which are tailored to you, and outlines the costs which start at $295.00
I offer an obligation-free consultation for prospective clients. This gives you a chance to meet me in
person and talk through your ideas. I will also explain the legalities involved.
If you decide to go ahead with me, I will ask you for a non-refundable booking fee of $250 to confirm
your booking. This fee is part of the total price and not an extra. I will then start the paperwork process
by filling out a “Notice Of Intended Mariage” This can be done “on the spot” using my portable office system.
• Any travel beyond the greater Melbourne Metro area, this includes car, train, or flight, please ask for a quote as there may also be accommodation charges; (Travel to RACV Goldfields Resort for the ceremony is free). (Travel by car with a return trip of over 100kms is charged at 75c per km).
• Any extras provided by any third party including photographers, entertainment (Music & MC).
• Any permit applications and fees or venue costs and charges.
• Any extra paperwork supplied by a third party and ordered by me at your request.
• This is NOT an exhaustive list, if you have any questions please call.

It was well worth the drive away from the city to be able to officiate a small but intimate wedding ceremony in front of your family and closest friends. You guys are the PERFECT couple, and your personalities and love for each other were reflected in your smiles and happiness on the day. Thank you for letting me be a part of that process, and yes, I did love working with you to help make your dream come true.

Steve King - Celebrant
Oh, now that's a good question, while it's exciting to start planning your wedding right after getting engaged, it's best to wait for just a little while (but not too long) before asking your wedding party to be a part of your special day. Plan your wedding first.
If you're planning a destination wedding or require your wedding party to wear specific attire, it's imperative to give them plenty of notice so they can make travel arrangements and order their attire.
It's crucial to give them plenty of notice, so they have time to plan accordingly. Asking someone to be in your wedding party is a big deal, and it's essential to do it with the right kind of energy and enthusiasm. Remember, your wedding party is there to celebrate your love and make your day special, so it's essential to ask them with love, respect, and enthusiasm.
Is there anyway possible to get married without witnesses
Can you be married without witnesses in the same room. As I have anxiety issues and I don't do very well around other people.
Steve King - Celebrant
It would be nice to be able to help you with your anxiety issues, and I guess if you ask someone close to you who understands you, it might help, but the Marriage Act does state that two people over the age of 18 MUST witness the ceremony and sign a legal document as proof.
Do we need a marriage celebrant?
Can we exchange vows on our wedding day , and just get registered at the registry office on separate day- and therefore not require a celebrant? And if so- is this more cost effective? Thank you
Steve King - Celebrant
You can ask someone close to you like a parent or friend to officiate the ceremony, but you will not be legally married, but you must have a celebrant for the legal aspects of your wedding which include the exchange of vows and signing the paperwork in front of two witnesses. This is sometimes called a "legals only wedding". It's quite common.
You might find that a celebrant doing this type of wedding can be cheaper than heading to the registry office. My fees for a "legals only wedding" is $295 within the Melbourne metro area.
