About us
Private celebrants helping Byron Bay couples get
married simply
Byron Bay Marriage Office is a private celebrant service for couples who want a cheap, easy, registry-style marriage without the big wedding. We are part of the Australian Marriage Offices network.
What we do
We keep the process clear, lawful, and low-fuss.
Paperwork-only marriages
We provide the legal marriage service for couples who want to be married without a full wedding ceremony.
Help with the paperwork
We help you understand the steps, the documents, and how to get the Notice of Intended Marriage done properly.
Witness service if needed
If you need witnesses for the legal signing, we can help arrange that too.
Simple local appointments
We work across Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers, subject to availability and paperwork timing.
Professional and affordable
Our service is built to be budget-friendly while still being careful, helpful, and professional.
Referral when you need more
If you actually want an elopement or a bigger ceremony, we point you to the right people instead of pretending this service is something it is not.
What we believe
Marriage does not need to be confusing, expensive, or dressed up to be real.
- 1
Simple is good
Some couples just want to get married. We respect that and we have built a service around it.
- 2
Plain language matters
We explain the legal steps in normal Australian English so you know what to do next.
- 3
Low-cost should still feel solid
Affordable does not mean sloppy. We take the legal side seriously and keep the process easy.
What we do not do on this site
This is where we keep expectations clear.
Not a government registry
We are private authorised celebrants. We are not the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.
Not a full wedding service
If you want a personal ceremony, guests, music, aisle moments, and a full celebrant service, book Josh Withers.
Not an elopement studio
If you want a more styled and experience-led option, book Elopement Collective.
