Hello Lucy,
Happy New Year, I am sure it is going to be for you with planning a wedding. Congratulations, how exciting, embarking on a very important stage of your life.
My name is Gwen Ford, Shoreline Ceremonies, I am an authorised Marriage Celebrant.
Leaving the booking of your Celebrant until last may not give you enough time to perfect your ceremony. Once you know where you want to be married and have booked your venue, it is advisable to book your Celebrant.
How long a Celebrant is booked for depends if you mean from 1st meeting to the Marriage Ceremony or whether you mean on the day.
In my experience the booking includes the preparation, changes to the wording until you are both happy with a ceremony that suits your tastes. This can take six to twelve weeks depending on how slow or fast the send and reply to changes takes. The cost includes the initial meeting, the draft ceremony, finalising the ceremony, unlimited phone calls & emails, a rehearsal and the ceremony.
On the day it depends how long your ceremony will be, on average 1/2 to 3/4 hr. I always arrive with plenty of time to meet the groom and attendants, check that everything is in place and working, then await your arrival. The amount of time can be discussed to suit you.
My phone number is 0477 889 067, I would be happy to discuss your ideas with you.
Kind Regards
Gwen
