Marriage Celebrant Fees
Marriage Celebrant Fees vary from celebrant to celebrant; the fees depend mostly on your requirements, preparation needs and confidence for your big day.
I believe weddings are all about setting you up for a wonderful marriage together by celebrating your special day surrounded by your family and friends, and my fees reflect the work I put in to create your perfect ceremony.
