Are there any affordable celebrants out there for a simple ceremony?

Hi, I'm looking for a celebrant to perform a simple (yet still professional) wedding ceremony. I don't want all the usual song and dance or long storytelling - just a simple, sweet and short ceremony. And a streamlined process in the lead up with whatever legalities are required; no coaching, or coffee catch ups as I'm just not that kind of bride. Are there any celebrants out there that do this and are affordable? (Needs to be under $500) Thanks for your suggestions :)

Hi Alessia,

Yes most celebrants will have some sort of basic package which will include a meeting to complete relevant legal paperwork, a simple ceremony, and all requirements after the ceremony itself. You don't need to have regular catch ups or a rehersal if you don't wish to and this should decrease the price.

Your location and travel time will need to be factored in by the celebrant however. Despite all of this, I wouldn't recommend choosing a celebrant solely on price - it is best to have a chat with some directly to see if they understand your needs and are a good 'fit' for your wedding.

Thanks,

Anna

Hi Alissia, most Celebrants will have a "legals only" package which is usually less than a fully personalised ceremony.

Certainly, there are celebrants who can do a simple ceremony and a simple fee ! I have done quite a few of these. If you want everything light and breezy but sincere and professional as well, the wording can be honed down considerably and the LEGAL CEREMONY would be the main focus. I usually charge a bit more than the Registry Office charges. $400 is my fee for a very simple ceremony.

Hello Alessia, Congrats! It's an exciting time, but expensive I know and depending on every bride's ideas and budgets, we as Celebrants create the ideal ceremony for you. Your Celebrant is a vital ingredient in your day and there are hours of work involved. I offer 2 packages, one simple service like a registry style (but more special) and one full service with all the trimmings! I would be happy to chat, no obligation and quote under your budget! The connection you have with your Celebrant is so important so you will feel calm and confident on your Wedding day. Wishing you love and joy! Jude x

Hello Alessia, Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage! As a Celebrant I tailor make your ceremony to suit you & your fiance - reflecting your wishes & outlook so that your ceremony will have more meaning to you & your fiance. When you make initial contact with a Celebrant ask if they do this & not a 'generic' ceremony - that way you will be happier with the outcome. No matter how simple you wish the ceremony to be it still should be meaningful for you both. I also provide a complimentary presentation copy of your ceremony so perhaps you may factor that into your inquiry also. I hope this is of assistance to you.
