Choose the option that feels right for you - and if you're unsure, I'm always happy to help you work it out.

PACKAGE 1 - JUST MAKE IT LEGAL

The simplest way to get married.

This is for couples who don't want a traditional civil wedding ceremony and simply want the legal requirements taken care of.

Your ceremony is kept intentionally short and uncomplicated.

    Ceremony Fee:  $595 + Travel expenses where applicable.

    • Initial consultation
    • Preparation of your marriage paperwork
    • Assistance completing your Notice of Intended Marriage
    • Guidance about the identification and documents you'll need
    • Short legal marriage ceremony
    • All legally required marriage wording

    • Completion and lodgement of your marriage documents following your ceremony
    • Guidance on obtaining your official registered marriage certificate if required

    What Does the Ceremony Look like?

    "Very simple. You arrive; we complete the required legal ceremony, you both say the legally required words, you and your witnesses sign the documents - and you're married. There doesn't need to be an aisle, music, personal story, bridal party or crowd."

    Perfect For

    • Private couples
    • Couples who dislike being the centre of attention
    • Couples marrying before or after an overseas wedding
    • Couples who already have a cultural ceremony
    • Second marriages
    • Elopement-style marriages
    • Anyone thinking, "Can we just get the paperwork done?''

    PACKAGE 2 - CULTURAL WEDDING  + SAME DAY LEGALS

    One Special Day. Both Ceremonies Taken Care Of.

    This is the service I especially love offering.

    If you're already having your cultural, religious or traditional wedding, I can come to you and take care of the legal marriage requirements on the same day.

    Ceremony Fee: $695 + Travel expenses where applicable.

    What's included

    Before your wedding, we'll organise the required marriage paperwork and make sure everything is ready.

    On your wedding day, i'll attend your agreed location and we'll complete the short legal ceremony at a suitable time around your traditional celebrations.

    For example:

    Traditional ceremony in the morning - short legal ceremony afterwards - reception and celebrations continue.

    Or:

    Quick private legal ceremony - traditional wedding - reception

    We'll find whatever arrangement works best with your wedding schedule.

    Your Legal Ceremony Can Be Kept Very Private

    It could simply be:

    You  + Your Partner + Two Witnesses + Me

    Your guests don't necessarily need to sit through another ceremony, if you don't prefer it.

    There doesn't need to be another entrance.

    You don't need another outfit.

    You don't need another venue.

    And you don't need another big production.

    Same Day. Same Celebration. Legally Married.

    Perfect For:

    • Traditional family weddings
    • Religious ceremonies
    • Multicultural weddings
    • Sikh, Hindu/Muslim weddings/ceremonies
    • Couples combining Australian and overseas traditions
    • Anyone wanting their legal and cultural marriage completed on the same day.

    PACKAGE 3 - LEGAL + A LITTLE SOMETHING

    Simple Doesn't Have to Mean Impersonal.

    Perhaps you don't want a traditional 40-45 minute civil ceremony but you'd like your legal marriage to feel slightly more special.

    We can keep everything short while adding a little personality.

     

    Ceremony Fee: $795 + Travel expenses where applicable

    What's included?

    You might choose to include:

    • A short Welcome
    • A few words about your relationship
    • Ring exchange
    • Personal vows
    • A short reading
    • Parents or children
    • A small group of family and friends

    Think 15-20  minutes rather than a full wedding production.

    Relaxed, intimate and still very much you.

    DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU NEED?

    That's completely fine.

    Tell me about your plans, your cultural or religious ceremony if you're having one, your location and what you'd like your legal ceremony to look like.

    I'll help you work out the simplest option.
