Everyone’s idea of getting married is different. Here are the different options I can offer you as your celebrant.
ELOPEMENT – $500
($150 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your elopement)
Elope away with your greatest love, embracing your freedom of choice: marrying where you want, when you want, and with the handful of guests you want!
Throw away the rule book of organising a big, traditional wedding by choosing to elope!
Here are some reasons people choose to elope: because it’s an utterly authentic, ‘just us’ experience; intimacy and intention; less family drama (someone had to say it – ha!); valuing experiences over stuff; far less stress and anxiety; less planning; and life is meant to be an adventure – so why not elope away for the love of fun! And each other!
ELOPEMENT PACKAGE – from $1199
($300 non-refundable deposit; balance due one week out from your elopement)
All of the awesomeness from an elopement with the added option of a photographer. I work with several talented photographers, to ensure there’s always someone available for your beautifully relaxed, stress-free elopement. It includes:
- maximum of 10 adult guests
- personalised ceremony (Kineta will help you write your vows)
- elopement certificate with your witnesses signatures on it
- photos during ceremony
- up to 1 hour of photos onsite (this includes the ceremony)
- an online gallery of your elopement images within 40 business days
REGISTRY CEREMONY – $90
So, you’re wanting a straight-forward ceremony at your home or a local spot, with set vows and script? Done! This is the basic, no-frills option. No venues or photography allowed. See FAQs for a Registry Ceremony.
As an authorised VCANZ Registry Celebrant, I can do this for you. All you need to do is organise two witnesses, and your marriage licence ($150), and it will cost just $90 to have me as your celebrant. It couldn’t be more simple.
PLEASE NOTE: if your wedding is over 10km from my office there will be a travel charge, above and beyond the first 10km each way. This is charged at the current IRD rate.
