About us
Affordable weddings and simple marriages in
Tasmania
The Tasmanian Marriage Office is a private authorised celebrant service for couples who want to get married without the cost of a big wedding. We serve Tasmania with a strong Hobart and Southern Tasmania base, with three clear packages: a $700 paperwork-only marriage, a $1,400 elopement ceremony, and a $1,600 wedding ceremony. Josh Withers is the celebrant behind the Marriage Office; for a fully bespoke premium ceremony, see his Hobart marriage celebrant, Tasmanian celebrant, or Launceston celebrant pages.
What We Actually Help With
We keep the service narrow on purpose so it stays useful for budget-conscious couples planning simple Tasmania weddings.
Paperwork-only marriage
The legal marriage itself, with the required wording, signatures, witnesses, and registration.
NOIM and document help
We help couples understand the Notice of Intended Marriage, ID, previous marriage documents, and witness requirements.
Witness service
If you do not have two witnesses for your simple Tasmania wedding, we can usually help with that too.
Registry-style service
We are not a government office, but this is the kind of cheap, simple legal marriage many people mean when they search for one.
Affordable pricing
Three upfront packages from $700 to $1,600, all including GST and registration.
Tasmania-wide help
We work across Tasmania by arrangement, with a strong base in Southern Tasmania.
How We Work
The process is short, plain-English, and designed for couples who want to get married efficiently.

3. We confirm the appointment
Once the paperwork is received, we confirm a date, time, and place based on availability. Then we meet, do the legal marriage, and register it.
Three packages, one clear price each
Every package includes an authorised celebrant, the legal paperwork, and registration of your marriage.
Paperwork-only marriage – $700
The short, courthouse-style legal ceremony and nothing extra. See what is included.
Elopement & micro wedding – $1,400
A personalised ceremony with your own vows for under 20 guests, at a spot you love. See the elopement package.
Wedding ceremony – $1,600
A personalised ceremony for 20+ guests, with planning meetings and a PA system. See the wedding package.
