Sweet Basil Celebrant and Styling
About Our Services
At Sweet Basil Celebrant & Styling, we offer two separate services:
Marriage Celebrancy – legal ceremonies and personalised vows.
Wedding Styling – optional décor, ceremony setups, and design packages.
These services are completely independent. Couples may:
book only a celebrant service,
book only a styling package,
or choose to combine both if they wish.
We are transparent in all contracts and proposals that celebrancy and styling are offered separately, with separate contracts and invoices. Couples are free to use any stylist, celebrant, or supplier of their choice, and there is no obligation to engage both services together.
Our priority is that you feel supported and free to design your day in the way that best suits you.
Bookings & Payments
A $100 non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your date.
Final balances are due 14 days prior to your ceremony or event.
Photo/video packages may require a separate booking fee.
Quotes are valid for 30 days and may reflect seasonal or wholesale pricing changes.
Other vendors invoices will be sent separately and have their own booking deposits
