If you are planning a destination wedding or celebration somewhere else, many couples choose to do the legal marriage in Tasmania and keep the celebration separate.
That is exactly the kind of problem our paperwork-only service solves well.
Why Couples Do This
It can make things simpler because:
- the Australian legal marriage happens here
- the paperwork stays familiar
- the official certificate is Australian
- the celebration overseas can stay separate from the legal side
Two Common Options
Legal marriage first
You do the legal marriage in Tasmania, then have the destination celebration later.
Celebration first
You have the celebration elsewhere, then come back and do the legal marriage in Tasmania.
Important to Remember
Your official marriage date is the date of the legal marriage in Australia.
If you want help planning the actual destination ceremony or a styled elopement experience, this is not that service. Use Elopement Collective or Josh Withers, depending on what kind of ceremony you want.
