Process and Pricing
Process
Choosing a celebrant means choosing a ceremony that suits you. As a result, we will meet more than once to ensure you end with a ceremony you are happy with.
STEP 1: initial discovery consultation (no charge) to discuss what you’re after and for you can decide if you want my services.
STEP 2: once we have confirmed your wedding, we will meet so I can learn more about you and your story. The purpose of the meeting is to decide the structure of the ceremony and to provide me with the information to write the stories.
STEP 3: in between our meeting and you ceremony, you will have the opportunity to review the ceremony to ensure it meets your expectations
STEP 4: wedding rehearsal. This will give you and the key wedding party members the opportunity to have a go at the main sections of the ceremony ahead of the real thing. Typically, this will happen at the event site the day/evening before the wedding.
STEP 5: Let’s get you married!
