How much did your wedding celebrant cost?

[RockingBaker]

We paid $350 - $400ish mark. $3500 is insane!

I agree with maybe checking to see if she added a zero - that is just nuts otherwise.

We paid around $250 six years ago and that included three meetings, rehearsal, all the government fees for lodging papers, and all the equipment she needed.

Yeah, sounds nuts!! We paid $550 3 years ago. That was a Sat wedding, I think we had two meetings beforehand as well as lots of email communication and a rehearsal the week before.

A few years ago i was looking into celebrants in my area and she had written that she charges anywhere from $400 to about $4000 something about getting in early and booking early. I was like wowzers which i guess is why i haven't pushed for getting married!

I think we paid $300

My cousin charges $400-500 depending on the day/time etc.

3500 sounds crazy expensive!

we paid less than $200 six years ago - with the most sought after celebrant in the area! she had become so busy she only took on clients she'd dealt with previously (she'd been the celebrant to do my grandfathers funeral). that included everything. from what her niece has said, she was up to about $500 for the very rare ceremony's she did just before she passed away.

hopefully, if she is someone you really want, she can let you know why it's so expensive! or at least say "sorry, it was a typo"!!

We paid $450. That was all the paperwork, she had to travel 2 hours.

She was great.
