In this episode of the Celebrant Talk Show podcast, Sarah Aird and I are diving deep into a topic that every celebrant has wrestled with at some point: pricing.
Thanks to a thoughtful series of questions from listener Hannah, we explore in this podcast one of the most complex and important aspects of running a celebrancy business – how much to charge, and why.
Here’s what you can expect from the episode:
- The truth about price fixing – what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s perfectly okay (and essential) to talk about pricing with your colleagues.
- How to approach setting your prices – understanding the difference between cost, price, and value, and why your pricing is more than just covering expenses.
- Whether or not to publish your prices online – Sarah and I share how we approach this, and why transparency can save you time and attract the right couples.
- The challenge of pricing as a new celebrant – how to start strong without undercutting yourself or the industry.
- Dealing with mates rates and discounts – where to draw the line, how to handle requests from friends, and why free doesn’t always mean valued.
This episode is packed with real talk, lived experience, and actionable advice for celebrants at all stages of their business journey. Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned professional, pricing is never a “set and forget” conversation – and this episode is designed to help you revisit and refine how you charge for your work.
Massive thanks to Hannah for the great questions. And if there’s a topic you’d like us to cover, you can email us at hello@celebrant.fm.
