Fees & Charges

The fee payable to Archbishop Ron will depend greatly on your needs and the time involved in preparing, attending, and performing the ceremony. Please note that Bishop Ron will never refuse to perform a wedding because a couple cannot afford the fees. Most of the fees received by Bishop Ron go to assist his work in Thailand and other foreign countries (no, they are not tax-deductible). You will get much cheaper fees from some celebrants whose only interest is numbers. Remember though that you get what you pay for. Archbishop Ron is a well-educated and experienced professional who charges an appropriate fee for a professional service. 
 
The average wedding will attract a fee of $1200 and includes all necessary meetings, paperwork preparation and submission, rehearsal if required, attendance and follow up. (Current as at October 2024)
 
This fee ensures you have Archbishop Ron for all your pre-wedding needs and consultations, he will attend the specified venue at least 30 minutes before the ceremony and he will continue to be available to you for further consultations after the ceremony date.
