About Alex the Celebrant
Alex Jurgens, known as Alex the Celebrant, lives and works in Townsville and has eight years of experience marrying couples. Her ceremonies are personal and built around each couple's story, aiming for real warmth, some happy tears and lots of laughs without any awkward moments. She dresses to suit each wedding's theme so she fits into the styling and photographs. She keeps the choice simple with three packages. The Kitchen Table Wedding is a paperwork-only option: a meeting a month before to lodge the notice, a booked signing time, no ceremony, all paperwork submitted and a keepsake certificate. The Small Elopement suits ten guests or fewer with no bridal party, with a casual ceremony and minimal formalities. The Full Service Ceremony suits weddings with a bridal party and up to 250 guests. It adds a planning session a month out, a rehearsal with the couple, wedding party and other suppliers, and a ceremony written personally around your own vows. Most of her ceremonies run 20 to 30 minutes, and she encourages couples to write their own vows, helping with tips or wording. For outdoor weddings she recommends a wet-weather backup and works through it with your venue. Travel is quoted individually, and most couples book her six to twelve months ahead.

Frequently asked questions
What packages does Alex the Celebrant offer?
Three: the Kitchen Table Wedding, a paperwork-only signing for $550; the Small Elopement for up to 10 guests at $950; and the Full Service Ceremony for up to 250 guests at $1,250. Travel is quoted separately.
What is a Kitchen Table Wedding?
A legal marriage without a ceremony. You meet once a month beforehand to lodge the paperwork, then sign at a booked time and date. It includes all submissions to the registry and a keepsake certificate.
Does the Full Service Ceremony include a rehearsal?
Yes. It includes a meeting to lodge your notice, a planning session a month before, one rehearsal with the couple, wedding party and other suppliers, and a ceremony written personally around your vows.
How long does a ceremony with Alex the Celebrant take?
Most of her ceremonies take 20 to 30 minutes. A Kitchen Table Wedding signing is over in a few minutes, and a ceremony packed with readings and rituals may go a bit beyond half an hour.
What if it rains on our outdoor ceremony?
She always suggests having a wet-weather backup and works with your venue on that second option, keeping the ceremony relaxed whatever the weather does on the day.
