Commitment Ceremonies A commitment ceremony is a ceremony where two consenting adults declare their love for each other and so share their home and combine their living and responsibility as one. Although a commitment ceremony does not involve a legally binding contract, it does mean that the two people involved can show their commitment to each other to their friends and to their family. This is a fantastic opportunity for couples who for personal reasons don't wish to get married, but who want their commitment to each other recognised. This is also a perfect way for gay couples to be able to make a public declaration to friends and family of their love for each other. At the present time in Australia there is no legal way for gay couples to marry and this is another option for these couples. Fees $250 in the Perth, South Perth, Fremantle, Rockingham and Mandurah areas, other areas may incur an extra cost. (this includes your initial meeting, a dress rehearsal and a renewal of vowels certificate )
