I offer an obligation free consultation, for all people and couples who contact me either on the phone or in person. If you would like to arrange a time to meet, please email me at steve@smcelebrant.com.au or call me on 0418 897 215. I am available to respond to any of your questions, to listen to what is important to you and will happily provide what you need.

​

I work with all couples to create unique, bespoke ceremonies and in doing so, lay a great and dynamic foundation for their lives together.

 

I am a fully qualified Civil Celebrant with a Certificate IV in Marriage Celebrancy.  In all my ceremonies  I adhere to a code of practice and if we work together, this is what you'll get -

• A personable and professional tailor made process and ceremony;

• Completion of all legal requirements;

• Top of the range Mipro 145 watt sound system;

• Signing table and chairs (if needed);

• Personal Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance

• I am a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants;

• I also undertake ongoing professional development every single year;

• We are both protected by a contract, whose terms and conditions we adhere to;

• I provide a clear pathway for you, should you need to make a complaint.

 

YOUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT

I offer real, authentic ceremonies for everyone I work with. To offer you the most flexible and transparent of processes, I work on a hourly rate of $50. Below are the starting ranges and guides for each of the ceremonies and processes I offer. Know that these are guides only, and if you like the sound of what I offer, there is always the capacity to devise a process that fits your time and budget. 

​

MARRIAGES

I offer a rich and comprehensive process. I have done much work in crafting and honing the process I offer you as I know the daunting and busy pre-wedding lead up. However, I am here to make sure that your ceremony creation gets as much time as planning the events of your wedding.  Your wedding ceremony begins once you engage a celebrant but resonates far beyond the day. Your ceremony is the most important, necessary and defining part of your wedding day and celebrations.

​

As a Marriage Celebrant, I offer you the best of my skills. I don’t take more than 2 bookings on any day and so I can really be present for you and your guests. I  offer two processes;

• If I am working with you to write and craft your ceremony there are 10-14 hours of time, energy and skill invested.

• If you are writing your ceremony, with my resources, assistance and guide then there is 6-9 hours involved.

 

A 100km round trip is included thereafter it’s $1 per km.  Ceremonies outside of Perth and additional costs are discussed on an individual basis. 

 

Marriage ceremonies written and performed by me begin at $650.
Ceremonies written by you, with resources, style documents and editorial support from me begin at $450.

Ceremonies led by celebrants in training or family and friends, with my presence and attention to legals begin at $400.

A "registry" style wedding at my home or yours (perfect for eloping), complete with short ceremony, personalised to the two of you) and all paper work is $440. For more information about a registry style wedding, click here.

​

By way of contextualising what you are investing in, to marry at the Perth Registry Office, which is simply a legal procedure of 10 mins with no input by you incurs a fee of $364 (including lodgement of your notice of intent to marry).  There will be nothing about you in the ceremony. It will be quite clinical and fast.  Is that the way you want to remember your wedding day?  By investing in a customised process and ceremony, you will reap the best possible returns for your marriage and your lives together.

​

RE-AFFIRMATION OF VOW CEREMONIES

Again, there are many choices to make in re-affirming your vows. The ceremony can be a lavish or intimate event, or be woven into the fabric of a great party.  There is usually between 5-9 hours of work in the creation and delivery of a Renewal of Vows Ceremony.

Reaffirmation Ceremonies begin at $400

​

WELCOMING AND NAMING A CHILD

These ceremonies can honour a birth, a first birthday, can be performed for siblings and even in adulthood. Again, they vary in length and preparation depending upon your needs.  There is usually between 4 and 10 hours of work, time and storytelling involved

Naming Ceremonies begin at $300.

​

FUNERAL AND MEMORIAL CEREMONIES

Creating and performing Funeral and Memorial Ceremonies are vitally important to ‘get right’; to take the necessary time and care in crafting a process and ceremony that will honour those whose lives have ended and the love we have for them. 

​

There is anywhere from 4 - 10 hours of time, skill, resources, hands on care, organisation and crafting involved if you are contacting me before the death has occurred or as the first point of contact before you call a Funeral Director.

​

If you require me to work as a Celebrant, to craft, write and deliver the ceremony,  and have made all other choices, then Funeral Ceremonies begin at $500.

​

If how I work is of interest to you, then feel free to contact me on 0418 897 215 for a no obligation chat or send an email to steve@smcelebrant.com.au.
