Civil Ceremony Weddings in Perth

Simple, Stress-Free Legals Only Weddings

Not everyone wants the big wedding vibe—and that’s totally okay. Whether you're after a civil marriage ceremony that’s quick, meaningful, and legally binding, or just want to make it official without the full production, I’ve got you covered.

As an experienced Perth marriage celebrant, I’ve helped countless couples say “I do” in a way that suits them—no fluff, no fuss, just the legal essentials done with warmth and care.

This is your modern alternative to a registry office wedding or courthouse marriage in Perth—with flexible timing, a location of your choice, and a celebrant who actually gets to know you.

Let’s keep it simple, personal, and stress-free.

What is a Civil Ceremony?

A civil ceremony wedding is a legally binding marriage conducted by an authorised celebrant or officiant, without any religious content. It’s all about the legal side of getting married—no aisle, no big crowd, no over-the-top production (unless you want it!).

A legals only wedding is perfect for couples who want to keep things simple. You’ll say a few legal words, sign the paperwork, and just like that—you’re married. It’s quick, fuss-free, and still filled with meaning.

While many people think of a registry office wedding or courthouse marriage as the only option for this kind of ceremony, a civil ceremony can actually take place anywhere you like. Whether it’s your backyard, a local café, or a quiet park, you don’t have to settle for a government office if it’s not your vibe.

In recent years, there's been a noticeable rise in couples opting for legals-only weddings. You still get the legal marriage, the excitement, and that all-important “I do”—just without the pressure of planning a huge event.

Still Got Questions? I've Got Answers!

➕ What is a civil marriage ceremony?
A civil marriage ceremony is a non-religious, legally binding wedding conducted by an authorised celebrant or government official. It includes the legally required wording and paperwork, and is ideal for couples wanting a simple, no-fuss way to get married—without a traditional wedding structure.

➕ How does a registration office wedding work?
A registration office wedding is held at a government-run location where you book a time and bring your documents and witnesses. A government-appointed celebrant performs the brief legal ceremony. It’s efficient but often impersonal—many couples prefer using a celebrant for a more flexible and personal alternative.

➕ What documents do we need for marriage registration in Perth?
You’ll need to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM) at least one month before the ceremony. You must also provide original ID (birth certificate or passport), and evidence of divorce or death of a previous partner if relevant. I’ll walk you through all of it to make it easy.

➕ Can we have a civil wedding outside of a registry office?
Absolutely! A civil wedding ceremony can take place anywhere—your backyard, a park, a bar, or even your favourite café. As a celebrant, I can legally marry you in any setting that suits your style, giving you more flexibility than a registry office or courthouse marriage.

➕ How much does a civil wedding in Perth cost?
The civil wedding price depends on whether you choose a registry office or a celebrant. Registry offices tend to be lower cost but offer limited options. My legals-only package gives you a more personal, relaxed experience—including all the legal requirements, guidance, and a short ceremony.
