Our celebrant gave us a brochure called "happily ever before and after"?

They explained why which is fine, but this brochure is really terrible haha, why is this still a thing?!

it's not only a responsibility for celebrants to discuss and pass on the "happily ever before and after' material. It's a service we provide our couples to ensure they approach marriage with eyes wide open and not have the concept of "love" blind them to the realities of what the future holds. Couples are naive in thinking that marriage is happily ever after - marriage is a roller coaster ride. Personally, I feel that we should make marriage education compulsory, preferably in school, and not just a recommendation

I know how important a celebrant is, but how much is too much?

One celebrant I like charges $1200, but I know a lot of celebrants charge half of that. Why is there such a difference? Is it comparable to music in that it's a "taste" thing? Or a talent thing? It's not like I can "taste test" like a cake or listen to a song.. it's hard to justify because by the time you get the service, you've LONG paid and if you're disappointed it's too late! Advice please!

There are celebrants who specialise for example, those who would marry couples in a balloon, or bungy jumping. I think those celebrants are justifiable in charging more as as they are risking their lives. I don't believe that celebrants who have a particular sense of humour, or have a wonderful singing voice are justified in charging more, that's just a perk for them. On the other side of the spectrum are celebrants who charge $300-500. They are probably using a rote ceremony and don't give any individual care or attention to the couples needs. Celebrants who charge between $800-1000 which includes the staple paraphernalia and administration of conducting a ceremony are where most couples should be looking. These celebrants give the most care and attention to the couples needs with a specialised ceremony created just for them. Any costs over and above this should include travel, special clothing and specialty ritual items.
