I’m going to keep this simple because you’re planning a wedding, there’s so many things you should be doing instead of trying to figure out celebrant fees.
-
$500. Doesn’t include any collateral such as scripts, vows, audio-visual equipment.
-
$800. This fee includes:
Initial meeting and any subsequent meeting at your request
Written script with unlimited edits until it meets your expectations
Unlimited emails & phone calls
High-quality audio visual equipment
A keepsake
Wedding rehearsal prior to ceremony (can be as thorough or relaxed as you like, I love an in-depth rehearsal!)
All legal requirements to marriage
Free travel to your wedding destination within metropolitan Melbourne councils. Additional costs for destination weddings
Your choice of attire for me to wear (within reason!) I’m happy to match any wedding theme you’ve got!
Honestly, whatever else you want out of a celebrant. This is your wedding, and outside of the legal requirements, I’m up for anything you throw my way!

$200 additional fee (plus gluten-free food would be lovely)
