A celebrant-led service is excellent value. Bearing in mind the complete freedom to choose everything from wedding vows to rituals, from location to timings, and from the music to the words that reflect your story, there is no real comparison.
The average total cost of a wedding in the UK in 2025 is £20,822. acording to a large survey by Bridebook.com. And that’s without rings or honeymoon. So a fee of around £600 for a celebrant represents less than 3% of the total cost. Even at the high end a celebrant fee of £1000 is less than 5%. Most couples want their guests to have a fabulous time, so DJ, band, venue and catering are all important. And if the most important part of the day is the pick-and-mix sweetie bar, then of course spend more on that. But for most couples the ceremony is what makes the wedding special and is the most emotional and memorable part. So why not go ahead and book your celebrant, it’s going to be worth it.
