Courthouse Marriage in Byron Bay
If you are searching for a courthouse marriage in Byron Bay, this is probably the service you want.
Australia does not have courthouse weddings in the same way the United States does.
Instead, an authorised celebrant performs the legal marriage.
The Byron Bay version
Our service is a private celebrant, paperwork-only marriage.
That means:
- it is simple
- it is legal
- it is low-fuss
- it is affordable
- it is not a government service
What happens on the day
- you meet us in person
- two adult witnesses are present
- we say the required legal words
- you sign the documents
- we register the marriage
That is the whole point of the service. You get married without the full wedding setup.
Good fit for couples who want
- the Australian equivalent of a courthouse wedding
- the cheapest and easiest path to legal marriage
- a quick appointment, not an event
- the marriage now and the celebration later
Not the right fit if you want
- a personal ceremony
- aisle moments
- guests and a formal setup
- an elopement experience
For an elopement, use Elopement Collective.
For a full ceremony, use Josh Withers.
