Why? Why do we feel weird about celebrating our relationship once married? For a lot of people it is a cost thing, they don’t think the cost of a vow renewal is worth it. Obviously I think that’s wrong. So I’m going to go through my 2024 vow renewal packages Australia, to break down how much a vow renewal costs. I even built an interactive vow renewal price calculator for you to use to put together a realistic budget for your day. So let’s do it, let’s look at my Australian vow renewal packages.

What is a vow renewal?

Before we delve into my vow renewal packages for Australia, let’s just make sure we are on the same page about what a vow renewal is. A vow renewal is simply a means of ‘updating’ or ‘reaffirming’ your wedding vows to your partner. It can be done any time, for any reason, in any place. There are no rules, no requirements. It doesn’t have to be a major milestone, and you don’t have to have guests. It can be hosted at a wedding venue (traditional vow renewal), or in nature, anywhere in the world (non traditional vow renewal). If you want an in-depth analysis on the topic, check out my blog on what is a vow renewal here.
