Planning a registry-style wedding for your big day?
For the budget conscious couple there is the option of a registry wedding.
This is a very simple and quick ceremony offering a choice of two vows with nothing personalised. Instead of having to head down to the local Courthouse or Council, you can now get married in a registry wedding right at home!
There are strict conditions in accordance with the Department of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) - please refer to the link below. From 1 July 2019, BDM stopped performing registry weddings. Instead, registry weddings are now officiated by independent celebrants who have achieved VCANZ accreditation. I am licensed to officiate a registry wedding.
