Young Melbourne Celebrant

Investment

Truth be known, I hate talking about money - I would absolutely Celebrant for free if I could! If you are the tax department please STOP READING NOW ————I will absolutely trade services with you like we are living in the Roman Empire, if you prefer - so show me what you got and we might be able to strike a deal!

Let’s make this simple.

I charge for two different kinds of packages-

The Totes Original - $1800

  • 2-3 meetings with me (bet you we will become friends, send me pics of you trying on dresses, at your make up trial, I wanna see it all!)

  • All legalities to make you married

  • A completely razzle mcdazzle, blow your Grandpa’s pants off ceremony, written from scratch with years of knowledge and experience gathered and stored in my walnut, that will get your guests fired up and ready to celebrate after your ceremony

  • A detailed account of your story fed to your guests in delicious detail

  • Vow Coaching - I will sit with each of you, and help you to get your feelings on paper, so that you can write the perfect wedding vows that both of you will delight in remembering in your rocking chairs

  • Your wedding certificate from Births, Deaths and Marriages

  • A rehearsal if you want to meet for a wine and a run through

The Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy - $1500

  • 1 meeting with me (this is a ‘let’s text friendship’, rather than a ‘let’s send memes relationship’)

  • All legalities to make you married

  • A ceremony pieced together from my greatest highlights reel from other ceremonies, with a personalised intro so your guests can hear your story

  • Add on some personalised vows if you like, with a bit of a hand from me if needed

Here at The Ceremony Store I work hard to ensure that getting married is easy, fun and as memorable as possible-

I love what I do and I hope it shows!

Extras

MC

I can stick around after your ceremony and get your guests in the mood for some party hearty! I can ensure that you run to schedule, help introduce all of your family and friends to each other and delight in taking care of the things you shouldn’t need to worry about on your wedding day. I can even go so far as to read over any potentially dodgy Best Man speeches - after all I’m pretty sure you don’t want to end up going viral for all the wrong reasons! Ask me about my MC services here.

TRAVEL

Travelling to marry people is one of my favourite things to do - I can legally marry you anywhere in Australia, alternatively, we can do a legal ceremony here and then a ‘love ceremony’ in another country, planet wherever - just ask! Obviously this might be a while away due to COVID but you can start you planning now! Ask me about my love of travel here.

Vow coaching

Struggling with your vows? I’m guessing you want to say the right thing and make a huge impact for your love? I will personally coach you through writing the most mind blowing, tear inducing, memorable vows you could ever think of. We meet over coffee or a wine (or Zoom if preferred) and I will squeeze those love thoughts and promises out of you. Taking the time to sit and really think about what you want to say and having a professional to run it past can be such a stress relief - so let me help you here.

VOW REMINDERS

Taking the time to think of your marriage vows and then publicly declaring what you are promising to do for the rest of your life is actually a pretty big deal. There will be moments in your love when these words of love may be forgotten and you may need to be reminded. For the ultra romantics and declaration makers amongst us, I can get your vows printed on perspex, bound in leather or arrange them to be tattooed onto your skin - price variable - read more about this here.

Wedding Industry Coaching

So many people fall in love with the wedding industry through the process of getting married and end up becoming a Marriage Celebrant, a Wedding Planner or a DJ after they get married. So let’s sit and talk about the pros and cons, highs and lows of entering into this crazy, creative, love filled industry. I can assist you to come up with a plan so that your foray into a new world is as simple and easy as possible. As a Marriage Celebrant with 18 years full time experience and as a Celebrant Trainer with 8 years experience, I am the right person to assist you, so ask me about Wedding Industry Coaching and Mentoring here.
