Registry weddings
Whatever you want to call it, if you’re after a fuss-free, quick and easy way of getting married. This is it.
It's cheaper than getting married at the registry and you can get married anywhere you want! There’s no marriage registry in Newcastle, which is probably a good thing. Who wants to get married in a boring Government building when you can have your pick of stunning Newcastle or Hunter Valley locations?!
For those wanting something a little more special, I have some lovely, generic ceremony wording I can add in very easily. I will send this when you get in contact, so you know what your options are.
You’re welcome to say vows to each other. I have a guide to writing vows which I also send you.
I also have recommended elopement photographers if you’re looking for someone to capture some special moments.
How much does an elopement cost?
$500 weekdays // $550 weekends. Up to 15 guests included.
Travel outside of Newcastle LGA is charged at $30/hr.
15-30 guests $100 fee.
Sounds like your vibe? Let's have a chat to see how it might work for you.

What's the easiest, quickest way to get married?
I get a lot of feedback from my couples about this being the EASIEST process ever. I make everything so uncomplicated and straightforward, you’ll be surprised about how easy it is to get married.
Video chat to sign paperwork
We have a video chat to complete the legally required Notice of Intended Marriage.
You can ask as many questions as you like and we make a plan for your wedding day.
The easiest, most relaxed wedding ever!
At least one month after we sign the NOIM, I get to marry you!
In a location of your choice, at a time that suits you.
On the Day
On your wedding day, I say the legal words, you say some legal words, we sign some documents, and BOOM you're married!
You’ll need two witnesses. These can be people you know or people passing by.
