What does a celebrant cost?
Like all professionals and service providers, the cost of a wedding celebrant's fees vary from region to region, and different celebrants have different offerings and packages.
The cost of a wedding celebrant can vary depending on several factors, such as location, experience, and the type of ceremony they are providing - like a wedding, intimate wedding, elopement, or paperwork-only (otherwise known as a registry-style ceremony).
On average, a wedding celebrant in Australia can cost anywhere from $600 to $2000, but this can vary greatly depending on the specific celebrant and the services they offer. If they MC or DJ your wedding the fees can increase to $3000 or $4000.
A celebrant charging $600 may be starting out or not providing a full range of services, where as a celebrant charging closer to $2000 might be providing a large range of services and bringing a high level of service and professionalism to your wedding.
Some celebrants may offer packages that include additional services, such as ceremony rehearsals and wedding planning, which can increase the overall cost. It is important to research and compare different celebrants and their prices to find the best fit for your budget and needs.
Marriage celebrants typically offer a range of packages to suit different budgets and needs. These packages can include different services, such as ceremony rehearsals, wedding planning, and personalized ceremonies. Some common packages that marriage celebrants offer include:
Paperwork-only or registry-style: This package typically includes the ceremony itself, with the celebrant officiating and providing the necessary legal documents only.
Standard package: This package includes the ceremony plus additional services, such as ceremony rehearsals and personalised vows.
Deluxe package: This package includes the ceremony, rehearsals, personalised vows, and wedding planning services, such as venue selection and coordination with vendors.
Elopement package: This package is designed for couples who want to elope and includes the ceremony, legal documents, and a beautiful location for the ceremony.
Reception package: This can include the master of ceremonies duties, playing music, and sometimes even photography, videography, and wedding styling or furniture hire.
Overall, marriage celebrants offer a range of packages to suit different budgets and needs, and it is important to research and compare different celebrants and their packages to find the best fit for you. No one celebrant is the same as the other.
