Ceremony pricing
It would amazing if we could all follow Jessie J's lead and 'forget about the price-tag' (sorry, there's another ear-worm!).
However, I know I certainly like to know the cost of things upfront and I don't like surprises (except on my birthday!)
Like me, my ceremony pricing is transparent and honest, nothing is hidden and there are no extra charges for anything you want to include in your ceremony.
As every ceremony is unique and personal, the price you pay is actually the only thing that my ceremonies have in common.
This is because I like to be fair (that's the Humanist in me!) and I also pride myself on everyone receiving the same high standard and the best ceremony possible!
Ceremony pricing- the full shebang!
- A Wedding ceremony costs £735 (£250 upfront payment to ‘save the date’ then the balance at least a week before the wedding)
- A Naming ceremony costs £300 (£100 upfront payment to ‘save the date’, £100 on delivery of the script and the balance at least a week before the naming). This is based on one ‘namee’ if you have multiple ‘namees’ in a ceremony these are at an additional cost of £100 each
Both the above apply to ceremonies within my working area and include all work done upfront to create your unique, personalised ceremony, loving delivery of a warm and welcoming ceremony on the day and all travel/ expenses (unless outside of my usual area and/ otherwise agreed- see below for more information on this). From 2026, my celebrant fee also covers a donation towards planting a tree (to offset those miles I do on the road to/ from meetings and ceremonies).
Ceremony pricing- Green Discount
a) Holding the planning meeting and any other meetings online (via Google meet)
b) Not printing a keepsake copy of the script (PDF copy still shared).
Please let me know when booking if you would like this ‘green option’.
My working area as a Humanist Celebrant
I am based in Leeds, West Yorkshire but work across Yorkshire from Brough to Bingley, Sheffield to Scarborough.
Within the Yorkshire area, I don’t charge any extra for fuel or travel.
I am also fortunate to be benefit from a family base close to Windermere so can also officiate wedding ceremonies within the Lake District (this is effectively the Lake District National park between and west of Kendal and Penrith) at no extra expense.
If your ceremony is beyond where I would usually travel and you are still keen to work with me then we can have a chat and work something out to cover the cost of the expenses of me travelling and staying over further afield. Otherwise, I will certainly be able to put you in touch with a bunch of very capable and talented Humanist Celebrant colleagues closer to your chosen location.
My travel to and from your venue is assumed to be by car, if there is no free parking at your venue (e.g. it’s in a city centre) then we might need to discuss paid parking options or alternative mode of transport (e.g. train). I will let you know upfront any expenses expected as a result of this.
If you want to discuss options for payment plans in more installments etc. then please contact me, I am more than happy to accommodate.
I do occasionally run discounted offers for mid-week weddings off-peak (outside of school holidays) and I can equally offer a reduced rate for genuine elopement style ceremonies (just you two and maybe a photographer) or vow renewals (where these are a simple/ shortened ceremony not a ‘re-wedding’, ‘do over’ or ‘dream wedding’). Follow me on Instagram for the best chance of spotting any rare special offers or discounts.
