what a celebrant does to prepare and deliver a ceremony to you

Heart2heart Ceremonies...for your heart and soul

What do my fees include?

My standard fee includes:

travel up to 90 km each way to the venue (a sliding fee depending on the distance under 90km)
interviews (up to 5 meetings) and unlimited telephone and email contact with you up to the date of your ceremony
stationery, the cost of telephone calls and correspondence
preparation of a written ceremony, official documents and certificates
provision of written resources for you to consider when we design your ceremony
a P.A. system so that your guests can hear the ceremony
lodgement of forms with the appropriate Births, Deaths and Marriages authority
attendance at the venue and delivery of the ceremony.

Official Marriage Certificate

You receive a presentation marriage certificate on the day and this is included in the cost.

However, I also recommend that you obtain a certificate of marriage as many government authorities do not accept the presentation certificate as evidence of marriage. In Queensland, the certificate currently costs $33.00 and is issued by Births, Deaths and Marriages after they receive your application. If you would like a commemorative certificate, this is issued with the standard certificate as well and will cost $46.00.

If you complete the appropriate form with me and pay the fee at the same time as the fee for the ceremony, I will forward the application together with the official paperwork. This means that you do not need to wait longer than necessary for the certificate, or supply extra proof of identity to Births, Deaths and Marriages in Queensland.
