Commitment ceremonies are designed and prepared in much the same way as a personalised wedding ceremony, the difference being that they do not include the legal marriage paperwork.
As a celebrant based in Ballarat and working across Victoria, I work closely with couples to create ceremonies that reflect their story, their values, and the people who matter most in their lives. I’m also happy to travel further afield for couples planning destination or intimate weddings.
For this reason, commitment ceremonies are usually similar in preparation and pricing to a personalised wedding ceremony. Most couples invest around $750 – $1,050 depending on the level of personalisation and ceremony design.
If you are planning a vow renewal, anniversary celebration, or a public commitment ceremony, I’m always happy to have a conversation about what would feel right for you.
Some couples find it helpful to reflect on the meaning behind commitment, ritual, and family while planning their ceremony. These podcast series explore the ideas that often sit behind public promises and deeply personal celebrations.
Reflections on commitment ceremonies, vow renewals, second chances, and the quiet strength of choosing one another in a deeply personal way.
