Our simple marriage service is the legal marriage only.
It is designed for couples who want a short, sweet legal ceremony without booking a full ceremony, styling a venue, or creating a wedding production around the day. The marriage ceremony itself is usually around five minutes.
What You Get
The service includes:
- a private authorised celebrant
- help understanding the legal steps
- the legal marriage itself
- registration after the marriage
- a calm, straightforward appointment
- a professional registry-style or courthouse-style service, not inside a registry office or court
What Happens
The usual process is:
- book and pay
- prepare your NOIM
- have the NOIM witnessed by an authorised witness
- send us the paperwork
- once the paperwork is received, we confirm a date, time, and place based on availability
- we meet, do the short legal ceremony, and register it
Why Couples Choose This
Couples usually choose this option because they want something:
- affordable
- easy to understand
- legally proper
- low-stress
- quick on the day
Important Legal Points
- The NOIM must be given at least one month before the marriage and no more than 18 months before it.
- Both people must be physically present for the marriage itself.
- The celebrant, both parties, and two adult witnesses must all be there in person.
- If documents are not in English, an official translation is needed.
