YOU’RE
ENGAGED!

Now
it’s time to plan your special day.

There
may be a photographer and or videographer, DJ, florist, decorator, hair and
makeup artist/s, ceremony location, reception venue, bridal cars/transport,
cake, bridal party outfits, and the list goes on. And of course, a
celebrant/priest/minister of religion.

All
of these suppliers come with a price tag.

So
it’s important to put it all into perspective.

If
you just wanted a party, you wouldn’t be getting married.

However,
getting married is a legal obligation between two people for the rest of your
lives.

Therefore,
the celebrant you choose is the most important part of your day – without them
it’s just a big expensive party.

So
please take into consideration why a celebrant charges what they do. Don’t
necessarily choose the cheapest option.

You
need to connect with your celebrant.

I
spend around 30 hours on EVERY wedding. Each ceremony is unique.

There
is a rehearsal

Legal
documentation to fill out

Your
marriage has to be lodged with the Births Deaths and Marriages in the state you
got married.

We
have travel costs

We
have to complete Ongoing Professional Development every year We have to
purchase the software to operate our business with We also have to purchase
your Presentation Certificates (which are legal documents) and the envelopes
they come in And that’s not all …….. we all have different expenses to
consider depending on location, travel etc.

So
after all of that, depending on the celebrant and what they are charging, 90%
or more of us are still the cheapest part of your special day, yet without us
you’re not legally married.

I
hope this has put it into perspective for you.

Have
a great day!
