How the booking process works
- Click Get Married.
- Pay the fee.
- Prepare your Notice of Intended Marriage and have it witnessed properly.
- Send the paperwork to us.

What happens on the day
The marriage itself is short.
Both of you, the celebrant, and two adult witnesses attend in person. We say the legal words, sign the documents, and lodge the marriage afterwards.
If you want something else
If you want a full wedding ceremony, book a celebrant like Josh Withers.
If you want an elopement service, book The Elopement Collective.
