The Funny Celebrant
Let’s Talk Money
WEDDINGS
If you’re anything like me, you want to know exactly what things cost upfront. So let's cut to the chase:
💰 My fee for weddings is $1,200. As I’m not registered for GST, there is no GST added.
📋 Add $100 if you’d like a rehearsal. (Most couples skip it, so I don’t include it—no point paying for something you don’t need.)
To lock in your date, a $400 non-refundable deposit is required at booking, with the balance due two weeks before the big day.
What’s Included:
✔️ All legal paperwork sorted
✔️ A personalised, professionally written ceremony
✔️ Relationship education info (it’s a legal thing—I make it painless)
✔️ A heartfelt ceremony delivered with humour
✔️ Keepsake marriage certificate
✔️ Your marriage registered online with Births, Deaths and Marriages
✔️ A top-quality portable PA system with wireless mic
✔️ Music playback via my PA—just bring your playlist!
Extras (If Needed):
🚗 Travel beyond 30km from Burleigh Waters: $1.50/km
📄 Standard marriage certificate: $56.20.
I also offer a legals-only option for $500. As I’m not registered for GST, there is no GST added.
FUNERALS
Saying goodbye is hard enough without wondering what you’re paying for. I keep things straightforward so you can focus on what matters.
💰 My fee for funerals and memorials is $650. As I’m not registered for GST, there is no GST added.
To secure your date, a $200 non-refundable deposit is required, with the balance due the day before the service.
What’s Included:
✔️ A consultation (in person or phone) to understand your loved one and the kind of service you want
✔️ A thoughtfully written, personalised ceremony that reflects their life and personality
✔️ Guidance on structure, tone, readings, music and order of service booklet (if you’re not sure where to start, I’ve got you)
✔️ Liaising with family members for stories, memories and contributions
✔️ Calmly leading and delivering the ceremony on the day, with everything handled behind the scenes — liaising with the funeral director and all involved
✔️ Coordination with your funeral director or venue to ensure everything runs smoothly
✔️ Expert eulogy support from a former professional scriptwriter — helping you shape stories, find the right words and deliver something truly meaningful
