As a trusted and experienced marriage celebrant covering Coffs Harbour and beyond, I often reflect on what makes me stand out from the rest, after so many years of providing paperwork or legal-only ceremonies, elopements, to the largest of celebrations. As I scroll through the many five-star google reviews on my Married By Simon site, it is clear that trust and honesty is a recurring theme. This brings me to pricing, in particular transparency in fees and charges.
Looking at the thousands of marriage celebrant websites it is clear that many do not publish pricing. Why? For the best part, even they don’t know their worth or the value they bring to one of the most special days for any couple and their family. Not publishing fees and changes will almost certainly create confusion and a sense of uncertainty for any couple enquiring about a marriage celebrant. Not to mention, last-minute surprises.
And this is what makes me different from the rest. From day zero in 2008, when I was first appointed as a marriage celebrant by the Attorney General, I have and always will, continue to be 100% transparent in my pricing and inclusions. Prices that I have no hesitation in sharing on my website that reflect the value, experience, and certainty of the awesome experience I bring to every wedding celebration.
Next time you find yourself enquiring with a marriage celebrant who doesn’t share the costs on their website, ask why?
