Hi, I’m Belinda, an Authorised Commonwealth Marriage Celebrant who specialises in legals-only marriages. They are simple, professional, and stress-free ceremonies focused purely on the legal requirements of getting married.
I respect a couple’s choice for a “Legals Only Ceremony”. Sometimes it is to avoid the financial cost of a wedding or perhaps the couple just want a personal and intimate ceremony that only involves each other and two witnesses. Or perhaps you are having a destination wedding overseas and just needed the legalities performed in Australia.
Whatever the reason my “Legals Only Ceremony” includes all the preparation and lodgement of required legal documents and the required legal wording recognised by law said by myself and the couple. I’m here to make the legal side smooth and straightforward.
What’s Included in a Legals-Only Marriage
What’s included:
Initial consultation to prepare and lodge the Notice of Intended Marriage (please note this can be done in person or via an online meeting)
Officiating your legal marriage which requires the minimum legal wording (this can be done anytime from one month of lodgement of the Notice to 18 months after)
Ongoing support throughout the process and letter of confirmation of lodgement of Notice if required
Registration of your marriage with the relevant Births, Deaths and Marriages in the state of your marriage
Provisions of witnesses (at least 2 are required by law) at a small additional cost
Flexibility to officiate your marriage at another location (please note additional charges incurred)
