As a Celebrant in Australia

I live in Stirling, South Australia, maintain a professional attachment to the University of South Australia [Uni Home Page], am a Justice of the Peace, am authorised to conduct Marriages according to current Australian Commonwealth law, and in 2004 I was awarded a Certificate IV in Marriage Celebrancy. In addition I am most pleased to provide a range of other associated services which are detailed on this website. This website contains a wide range of legal information, ideas for ceremonies, testimonials, and so on. Since late February 2009 there have been over 9,800 hits to the website, and numerous positive comments. However, please let me know if it does not meet your needs!

It is important for you that you know what fees are involved and consequently they are listed 'up front'!  

What are the fees?

Marriage celebrants authorised by the Australian Government are entitled to charge for any services that they provide. Fees for weddings are not fixed and may vary from celebrant to celebrant. Ensure you reach an agreement on the fees before asking the celebrant to hold the date. You should also ensure that you understand what charges are non-refundable. Refer to: Fees

You will find that there is a very large range in the fees charged by Celebrants. The fees listed below are current from 1 July 2010 - June 2012.

I do expect that you pay the fees prior to the ceremony, and I will provide you with my bank account number for this purpose when I provide you with a Statement of Fees, indicating that an ‘average’ ceremony costs about $500.

Services included in basic fees – readily available phone and email contact; consultations as required; appropriate preparation and submission of all forms; full advice and support for construction of your personalized ceremony; travel within 30km of my home; use of superior quality mobile wireless hand-held microphone, speaker, CD system, etc.
