| There
is no limit as to how you want to plan your
wedding. You can also combine your customary
and/or religious ceremony. This arrangement
will save you a trip to the ROM. This option
can range from most affordable to most expensive,
depending on the extent of frills or customisation. |

|
Please note that while the Solemniser's service is voluntary, he/she has to incur taxi fares or transport costs to go to and from your wedding venue. You will therefore need to reimburse him / her. The guideline set by ROM is $28-$48 although the amount may not cover actual fares/costs incurred.
