Kate Browne Marriage Celebrant | Adelaide

My service fees vary depending on the time of year and day of the week (peak season/off-peak, weekdays, weekends, public holidays), the location of your wedding ceremony and requirements of the ceremony.

Please email me at kate@blissfulweddingceremonies.com.au or via the contact form with your ceremony date, time, venue and any other details you would like to share and I can give provide you with a quote and more information.

A non-refundable Booking Fee of 50% of the total fee is required within 14 days of the booking being confirmed.

The balance of the fee is due one month before the ceremony date. Payment options offered are cash, direct deposit and Paypal (additional surcharge applies to Paypal payments).

I am a Commonwealth-registered Marriage Celebrant and under the Marriage Act 1961 I am authorised to solemnise marriage anywhere in Australia.

I will complete and lodge your Notice of Intended Marriage on your behalf and will assist with the completion of any other required documentation (such as Statutory Declarations). I will also assist in your application for a legal Marriage Certificate.

Your wedding is all about YOU. This is why all of my ceremonies are planned to suit each individual couple. While I do provide my clients with an example of a ceremony format I have no standard template for my ceremonies and adapt what I do to reflect each couples personalities and their relationship.

I spend time with my clients to learn about them, their story as a couple and their dreams for their wedding day. I also ask each couple to spend time completing a questionnaire that allows me to learn about their time together and ask them to share stories that I can include in their ceremony.

The length of the ceremony will depend on the inclusions you would like, however the average time for a ceremony is around 20 minutes and another 10 minutes to sign the register

I will provide at least one draft of your ceremony and also meet with you for a read through where you will be able to read the full ceremony as well as hear me present it to ensure that it is what you want before you hear it on your big day.

I am covered by Public Liability and Professional Indemnity insurances.

I will be available for a rehearsal with you and your bridal party in the week leading up to your wedding to ensure that each person understands what they are required to do on the wedding day.

There is no obligation to invite me to your wedding reception after performing your ceremony. Your wedding reception is a chance for you to celebrate with your closest family and friends and while I love to get to know each couple that I work with this is a special time for those nearest and dearest.

Absolutely! I encourage all of my couples to give me words, poems, readings and music that mean something to them and I will structure the wedding ceremony to ensure that it flows together. These elements are what make your ceremony personal and memorable.

If I am ill or unable to perform the ceremony I will find an appropriate alternative celebrant that I feel will suit your wedding. I will also take responsibility for any costs incurred with the transfer.

Pre-marriage counselling is not compulsory and you are not expected to complete it, however I believe that pre-marriage and relationship education can be very beneficial to build healthy communication and healthy relationships.

These services include but are not restricted to counselling. There are group workshops, individual workshops and services provided via the telephone and internet, all offered at a range of prices. These services can give you the chance to think about and discuss things like communication, your expectations for marriage, or managing stress and finances.
