Fees

Weddings
As a general guide, a charge of $480 will cover lodgement of Notice of Impending Marriage, initial interview, composing the service, further interviews to refine service order, research if required, administration and documentation of all marriage documents, provision of PA equipment, one rehearsal and the actual ceremony within the metropolitan area. A non-refundable deposit of $150 is due and payable at initial interview with the balance payable 4 weeks prior to the wedding.

However, please contact me for a statement of fees as they can vary according to factors such as unconventional time, place or risk; travel outside the metropolitan area, formal correspondence in relation to Consuls, DIMIA etc or any other special consideration.

Other Ceremonies
Again, as a general guide, a charge of $350 will cover interviews, service, Certificates, provision of PA equipment. A non-refundable deposit of $150 is due and payable at initial interview.

Refund Policy
In the event of cancellation of the ceremony no later than 14 days prior to the ceremony the balance of the account will be refunded in full. In the event of cancellation of the ceremony no later than 7 days prior to the ceremony, 80% of the balance of the account will be refunded. Any refund payable for cancellation later than 7 days prior to the ceremony will be at my discretion.

Certificates provided by The Registrar of Births Deaths and Marriages (BDM).
An official certificate from BDM may be required if you choose to change your name after marriage.

Where a couple are both the natural parents of a child or children born prior to their marriage, the date of marriage can be included on a new birth certificate.

The cost of each of these certificates is currently $42.00 and is payable to the Registrar of BDM.

I can provide you with application forms and also send them to BDM with other documentation after the wedding if you require them immediately. It will usually take about two weeks for delivery.
