$400 Micro Wedding Legals Only Package

It’s all about Micro Weddings these days, or if you simply want to elope and get married in a quiet corner of your favourite cafe… If all you require is a no fuss, “legals only” registration. It will entail an initial obligation free meeting; all legal documentation; ceremony; registration of marriage and option for me to apply for your official marriage certificate from NSW Registry Office for an additional $80.

$800 Package

A $400 deposit is required at time of a definite booking. You can pay me the $400 balance no later than 14 days before the arranged ceremony day.

This option offers a beautiful and unique wedding designed specifically for you – anything from crazy to classic, fun to formal!

What does this total $800.00 fee include?

This fee covers the following:

  • The initial interview*;
  • Additional interviews for confirmation and finalisation of ceremony details;
  • Scripting of the ceremony with as many drafts as necessary for the final script;
  • The wedding rehearsal;
  • The conducting/solemnisation of the marriage ceremony at any venue of your choice;
  • The provision of the three marriage certificates required;
  • Form printing/completion, lodging of the official certificate of marriage and all required documents relating to the marriage;
  • If you would like me to request your official marriage certificate after registration, then we can discuss this when we meet;
  • Use of state-of-the-art PA system (if required);
  • Provision of registry signing table (if required);
  • Travel costs in connection with solemnisation – if the distance of a return journey between my office (Blaxland NSW) and your place of marriage does not exceed 80 km.

* Please note that this initial interview including the lodgement of the Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) must take place at least one calendar month before the date on which you wish to marry, and no more than 18 months before the date on which you wish to marry. The only exception is when shortening of the lodgement period has been approved. I can explain this process to you if required.
