Same-Sex Marriage in Tasmania

Marriage is equal in Australia. Every couple is welcome for our paperwork-only ($700), elopement ($1,400) and wedding ceremony ($1,600) packages in Tasmania.

Marriage in Australia is open to all couples under the same legal rules.

That means this service is available to couples regardless of sex, gender, or sexuality, provided the legal marriage requirements are met.

Our Position

We welcome all couples equally.

The paperwork-only process, pricing, and service standard are the same for everyone.

We use the language you ask us to use, keep the legal appointment respectful, and focus on the essentials: the Notice of Intended Marriage, the required words, signatures, witnesses, and registration.

What This Means Practically

For a short paperwork-only marriage or courthouse-style appointment, every couple follows the same core process:

  • prepare the NOIM
  • provide the required identity and eligibility documents
  • attend in person with the authorised celebrant and two adult witnesses
  • sign the marriage documents
  • have the marriage registered after the appointment

If you are checking the legal details, start with the legal requirements. If you want the simplest service model, compare paperwork-only and courthouse-style marriage.

Want more than the legal essentials? Our $1,400 elopement package and $1,600 wedding ceremony package are personalised for every couple, with the same inclusive approach. Compare everything on the pricing page.
