What's a paperwork-only marriage?

A paperwork-only marriage is the simple legal version of getting married.

It is for couples who want to be married without turning the day into a wedding.

We are private authorised celebrants providing a registry-style service. We are not a government registry.

Price

A paperwork-only marriage is $780 inc GST. If you need witnesses, add our witness service for $130. See all packages and pricing.

How it works

Click Get Married.
Fill out the booking form and pay the fee.
Prepare your Notice of Intended Marriage. NOIM Easy makes this much easier.
Have the NOIM witnessed properly and send the paperwork to us.
Once the paperwork is received, we confirm a date, time and place subject to availability.
On the day, you meet us with two witnesses, say the legal words, sign, and get married.

Important to know

This is still a real legal marriage.
You usually need to give at least one month notice.
Both of you must be there in person.
Two witnesses aged 18 or over are required.
If you want vows and a ceremony, the elopement ceremony is the better fit.

Want a ceremony as well?

If you want to say vows and have a real ceremony, our elopement ceremony is $1,800 and our wedding ceremony for guests is $2,200. Both include everything in paperwork only.

No fuss, no frills. Just married.
