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.

My personal promise:

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. I will have available a number of books for you to borrow that will help you to make decisions on your ceremony. These books cover ceremonies in general through to books on vows and verses.
   
5. 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. I will provide you with a number of sample ceremonies written by myself to help you to work through what wording you would prefer. I also 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, in my professional office, 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.

11. I will guarantee that no other wedding will be booked so close that I arrive late or rush in an unseemly manner.
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.
    
    

    On averge I would take 15-20 hours with each couple to prepare and perform their ceremony.

    This includes:-
    

• meetings with the couple - an average of 5 times
  
• emails - often many dozens over a period of time
  
• phone calls - numerous
• writing the ceremony draft
  
• changes to the ceremony - this can often take anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours depending on the amount of changes required by the couple.
  
• paperwork - preparing the legal paperwork
  
• on site rehearsal  - this can often take longer than the ceremony itself
  
• 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)
• Registering the legal paperwork after the wedding
