Legals Only (Registry Office Style or “No Frills”)

A legals-only wedding is exactly what it sounds like — all the legal paperwork, vows and certificates required to make your marriage official, without the crowd, stress, or production. It’s calm, private, and perfect for those who simply want to “get it done” and be married.

This is a photo from a small “legals only” on a beach near Albany where my husband and the photographer were the witnesses. Beautiful & intimate (Bride, Groom + their kids only and recording by livestream!)

1️⃣ What’s Included

Everything you need to make it legal — without the fuss.

✔ Preparation and lodgement of your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM)
✔ All required legal wording under the Marriage Act 1961
✔ Completion and lodgement of official certificates with Births, Deaths and Marriages
✔ Guidance on ID and supporting documents
✔ A warm, professional celebrant who handles it all with ease

2️⃣ Where We Can Do It

Forget the Perth registry office queues — we’ll make it simple and local.

💒 At your home, verandah, or garden
🏡 At my place (I often host private, relaxed ceremonies)
🌳 At a quiet scenic spot nearby — I’ve got plenty of beautiful ideas!

3️⃣ Who It’s For

Perfect for couples who:

💍 Want a simple, low-key legal ceremony
🎉 Are planning a bigger celebration later
🌏 Need to marry quickly for travel, visa or timing reasons
🕒 Note: A full calendar month’s notice is normally required for the NOIM. If you need it sooner, we can apply for a legal shortening of time with supporting documentation.

4️⃣ Guests & Witnesses

This is designed for just a few people — no microphones, no seating plans, no stress.

👥 You’ll need two adult witnesses (18+).
🤫 Keeping it a secret or don’t have witnesses? I can often help organise two lovely locals who’ll keep things discreet.

Note: Travel and any additional costs will be discussed at the time of the quote. Zoom livestreaming is available. Where witnesses are provided an additional charge may apply.
