Money, money, money!
Let’s talk about money because it is often a big concern. Many couples are focussed on their budget and the first question asked is “What is the price?” This can be a difficult question because it depends on what you want in your wedding, where it will be etc. The best way to get a realistic costing is through a chat with me.
Whilst price is important please ensure that you choose a celebrant who you feel a connection with. This is your big day and you need to feel comfortable and happy to work together. Your celebrant is one of the cheaper item costs compared with other suppliers in your wedding but without them you won’t be legally married!
I am not the dearest celebrant in the area, nor am I probably the cheapest but I am definitely value for money! All celebrants are different. Make sure you compare what is included and their reviews when you are looking at celebrant pricing.
Let’s talk about money saving ideas: payment plans, DIY and websites or pages that buy and sell wedding items.
