Canberra Legals-Only Weddings
Marry quickly, simply, and beautifully.
Everything you need to be fully, legally married — handled with calm and care, from $499.

Legals-only, explained.
What is a legals-only wedding?
A legals-only wedding is the simplest, most streamlined way to get legally married in Australia. It covers exactly what the law requires — an authorised celebrant, the legal vows, and the signing and lodging of your marriage paperwork — and nothing more.
It's closer to a process than a traditional ceremony, so it's worth going in knowing that. For couples who want to be properly, legally married without the cost and production of a full wedding, it's the perfect fit.
How does the Basic process work?
Before the day: we complete your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) together over a quick video call. By law this must be lodged at least one month before your wedding date.
On the day: you and your two witnesses arrive at the home office in Farrer. Harry (or one of our celebrants) delivers the legal-words ceremony — around two minutes.
After: we sign your marriage certificates and register the marriage with the Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages, so you can apply for your official certificate.
How does the Premium process work?
The same legal essentials as Basic, with more flexibility on when and where.
Before the day: we complete your NOIM over a video call (lodged at least one month before your wedding date).
On the day: Harry travels to the location of your choice within 30km of Parliament House — any weeknight evening, or any time on weekends. You can have your two witnesses plus up to two guests.
After: we sign and register everything with Births, Deaths & Marriages.
What does the ceremony wording look like?
The legal script is fixed by law and can't be changed for a legals-only ceremony. (A ring exchange and personalised vows can be added with the Premium package.) The required wording is:
Can I add on extra services?
Yes — a few optional extras:
- Two legal witnesses, if you don't have your own — $149
- Premium Event Package (a styled ceremony space) — +$299, with Premium
- The Day, Captured (short-form media) — +$399, with Premium
What days and times are available?
Legals-Only Basic: Tuesdays, 6–9pm, at the home office in Farrer (2607).
Legals-Only Premium: weeknights 6–9pm, and weekends any time — at a location of your choice within 30km of Parliament House.
Who will my ceremony be with?
Your ceremony will be with Harry or one of our wonderful celebrants. If you have a preference, just let us know when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate it.
No pressure. No rush.
Just good guidance.
Whether you're ready to lock in a date or just have a question, a quick chat is the easiest place to start.
