There is no set celebrant fee schedule for civil ceremonies in Australia. As such, some marriage celebrants charge less, some considerably more, than our fees. It is important for couples to ask just exactly what is provided for the fee. Please contact us to obtain full details of our fee schedule for weddings, namings, commitment and funeral ceremonies.
