Costs & Fees

The fee for your celebrant is one of the least expensive aspects of your day & is legally the most important.

Births, Deaths & Marriages perform marriages in their offices throughout Australia. The fees for a Registry office wedding at Births Deaths & Marriages in Sydney is $433 Mon-Fri and $546 Sat & Sun. You are limited to 10-20 guests only in most cases. Compare this to a Civil Celebrant where you can choose a person who will care about every aspect of your ceremony. You can choose a beautiful venue, get married 24/7 365 days a year and have complete approval of every stage of the ceremony. If you are having 10 or 500 guests the celebrants responsibilities and costs to legalize the marriage remain the same.
