My fee is reflective of my experience, my life skills, my creative skills, my training and my abiliy to deliver a professional ceremony to meet your needs.  I consider myself a very caring person who goes to great length to ensure you get the very best service.

To offer you the very best options and flexibility I base my fee on $80.00 per hour. After meeting with you and discussing your needs I can confirm the fee based on what you are after. So come along and meet me at a no-obligation meeting and discuss your plans.

Just to give you a comparison of what you are investing in, if you were to decide to marry at the Registry Office, which is no more than a legal ceremony of approx 10 mins with no input by you - you would expect to pay close to $500.00.  By investing in a personalised customised process you will have the best possible marriage ceremony based on your needs and requirements and will be enjoyed by yourselves and every guest. (See many testimonials from my clients)

My personal promise:

1. I can promise you a professional, well conducted ceremony that will be intimate, personal and modern.
2. You will be supplied with many resources - a 64 page booklet that is your to keep which contains many ceremonies and ceremony options.
3. I am online daily so you are able to make contact easily with me if this is convenient to you. Drafts can be forwarded easily by email.  
4. You are given complete choice of your ceremony. I am there to help and guide you and make sure you are aware of all your options.
5. I give couples a questionairre to complete that helps me put together a personal introduction that talks about the couple.
6.  I offer you relaxed interviews with me where you can discuss all your wedding requirements. There is no such thing as a silly question. You can trust me to help make the entire process as stress free and relaxed as possible.
7. You are entitled to unlimited consultations with me, whether they are in person or on the phone or via email.
8. I encourage every couple to have an on-site rehearsal.
9. If you decide to use CD's for your ceremony I am happy to handle if for you. I will burn the songs to CD to ensure they work on my PA - this means one less job for you to have to handle.
10. I will supply you with a printed copy of your ceremony along with a printed wedding certificate.
11. I will guarantee that no other wedding will be booked so close that I arrive late or rush in an unseemly manner. I usually have one ceremony per day, then I can enjoy it too, bnecause I am not running around and rushing.
12. I will be familiar with the ceremony and speak in a sincere and interested manner
13. I will dress to fit in with your wedding.
14. There are no surprises with my fee- we agree to a figure upfront and that is what you pay. No hidden costs.
15. I have a professional PA system - that includes a CD player - I use this at most ceremonies so everyone can hear the entire ceremony.
16. I bring along a table, chair and cloth if required, for the signing of the register.

• the wedding day - including travelling this can take anywhere from 2 hours minimum up to 4-6 hours. The ceremony itself usually takes around 1/2 hour.  (I always arrive at least 1 hour before the expected commencement time)
