Private company, not a government agency. Paperwork-only legal marriages are conducted by Josh Withers, an authorised civil marriage celebrant, not a courthouse or BDM Registry office. Book directly when ready.

Marriage Witness Service in Melbourne

You need two witnesses aged 18 or over for a marriage in Australia.

If you do not have one or both witnesses, ask us about our witness service.

When people use this service

Couples often use our witness service when:

  • they are keeping the marriage very small
  • they are new to Melbourne
  • they do not want to involve friends or family
  • their original witness plans have fallen through

What the witnesses do

The witnesses are there to:

  • be present for the marriage
  • witness the legal words and signing
  • sign the marriage documents

They do not need to know you personally.

Important point

This is a witness service for a simple legal marriage, not a wedding guest service.

If you want a guest-focused ceremony, a bigger event, or a full wedding setup, this is not the right service.

How to arrange it

The easiest way is to:

  1. use the booking link
  2. fill out the booking form
  3. tell us you need witness help

Need the simple legal marriage?

Book directly when you are ready. Josh Withers conducts the paperwork-only legal marriage, and the practical appointment details are confirmed once your paperwork is received and the legal timing works.
