Pricing FAQs
The practical questions couples usually ask before they book.
What is the first step?
Use the booking button, fill out the booking form, and pay the fee.
Does paying the fee lock in a date straight away?
No. Your date, time, and place are confirmed once we receive the NOIM and supporting paperwork, and once we know what availability we have after the notice period.
Do we still need to do the NOIM?
Yes. Every couple must lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage at least one month before the marriage unless a shortening of time is approved.
Do we need to bring witnesses?
Yes. You need two witnesses aged 18 or over, or you can ask about our witness service.
Is this a wedding package?
No. This price is for a simple legal marriage service only. It is not a full wedding or elopement package.
Ready to book?
Start with the booking form. You do not need to enquire first; Josh will guide the paperwork from there.
