About Byron Bay Marriage Office
Private celebrants helping Byron Bay couples get married
simply and affordably
Byron Bay Marriage Office is a private celebrant service for couples who want to get married in Byron Bay and the Northern Rivers without the big wedding budget, whether that is a $780 paperwork-only marriage, a $1,800 elopement ceremony, or a $2,200 wedding ceremony. We are part of the Australian Marriage Offices network.

Elopement ceremonies
A personal ceremony for $1,800 on a beach, headland, or hinterland spot, for two to around 20 people.

Help with the paperwork
We help you understand the steps, the documents, and how to get the Notice of Intended Marriage done properly.

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, with a focus on simple and budget-aware bookings.
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 for couples across Byron Bay and the wider Northern Rivers.
What to know before you book
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 wedding planner or stylist
We look after the ceremony and the legal marriage. For photos, venues, and styling, see our Byron Bay wedding vendors, including photographer Josh Withers.
Clear prices, no surprises
Every package has one price, listed on our pricing page. Extras like witnesses or long-distance travel are always confirmed before you book.
