There is no set schedule of fees for civil celebrants in Australia. Celebrants may charge a basic fee and then add on extras for travelling, public holidays and high demand periods, stationery and correspondence. Or celebrants may charge an inclusive fee, quoted only for individuals once their personal requirements are known. There is one thing that is certain - the cost of a celebrant is one of the smaller costs of your event.

When receiving a quote, check with the celebrant that it includes everything and that there are no additional costs. Most celebrants, for example, will charge an extra fee for a wedding rehearsal, if you require one. See faqs for more information about rehearsals and other questions you may have.
