Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant
Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant Shauna Rowe will possibly be the least expensive cost to your day. But undoubtedly the most crucial!
Whatever style of ceremony you choose be it elegant and sophisticated or simple and relaxed. This is your time to shine!
Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant Shauna Rowe is passionate about creating dynamic, fun and memorable wedding ceremonies for all couples.
Gold Coast Marriage Celebrant Shauna Rowe’s style is contemporary and relaxed, providing very personalised and professional 5* service to each and every couple. Your special celebratory day will be full of wonderful memories.
Above all I want you to enjoy all elements of this important milestone. Indeed the celebrant you choose is often the unofficial organiser and MC of your guests.
If you are from interstate or overseas I welcome any questions you may have regarding the legalities of getting married in Australia. Unquestionably guiding you every step of the way is my top priority.
Keeping things on track before you make your grand entrance
Additionally there are so many things to consider when booking your Marriage Celebrant. Upon that initial contact is there an immediate connection? Having a similar sense of style and humour is another key point to consider? Therefore are they going to fill the brief you’ve given them, or do their own thing?
Furthermore a competent celebrant is the link that brings all elements of your wedding ceremony together. We play a huge and vital role in keeping the groom calm and relaxed, setting the mood of the guests and ensuring all vendors are aware of any special requests.
Meetings with the Bride & Groom
Typically celebrants will meet with their couples they are marrying at least two times. Each meeting lasting between 45 minutes to an hour. This is to complete the necessary paperwork, to discuss ceremony options and inclusions and to explain the flow of the ceremony.
Meetings also allow the celebrant to get to know the couple and develop a rapport. Knowing the couple particularly well will help the big day run smoothly.
PA Equipment & Travel Requirements
Another essential factor of any ceremony is be heard clearly by all guests. My BOSE S1 high quality P.A. system will amplify your ceremony, and has provision for Bluetooth and phone connection to play your ceremony music through.
Reflected in my Celebrants fee is travelling to and from your ceremony venue, up to an hour each way. Having an on-site rehearsal, which I highly recommend or extra travel may incur a small additional charge.
Preparation of a Bespoke Wedding Ceremony
Working together to design a ceremony that captures the essence of your relationship, values and personalities is paramount. As well as the legally required words to be said during your vows I encourage couples to also include some personal vows.
Readings, poems or rituals can be included to enhance the significance of your ceremony. Each ceremony I create and deliver is totally approved and reviewed by the couple!
This is YOUR Special Day!
Marriage Certificates
At the end of the wedding ceremony the celebrant will hand over a beautiful celebratory marriage certificate. This has to be signed by you, your witnesses and of course myself.
After your wedding ceremony all relevant paperwork will be submitted by me to Birth, Deaths & Marriages. A lovely gesture to complete your wedding journey is on your behalf applying for your Official Marriage Certificate! However this is at your cost.
Time and Celebrant Fees
Your marriage celebrant on average will spend a total of 15-17 hours preparing for your wedding ceremony. It takes time to collate all the knowledge and information I have gathered during our meetings, emails and phone conversations.
Furthermore my celebrant fee covers the submission of the legal paperwork to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. So your marriage is legally registered this must be done within 2 weeks of your Ceremony date.
Your Marriage Celebrant
Unquestionably there is so much that goes into being a fabulous Marriage Celebrant. Therefore I do ask that you consider all of this when enquiring how much a celebrant will cost to perform your wedding ceremony.
The journey starts from the first time we meet, right through to the moment you both say “I do”
