Brisbane paperwork-only marriage service
Brisbane Marriage Office: Private celebrants, not a government registry. No fuss, no frills, no wedding. Just paperwork.

Why couples choose us

We are built for couples who want the legal side done simply, clearly, and affordably.

Private celebrants

We are not a government service. We are authorised celebrants providing a private registry-style option.

Low-cost and straightforward

A cheap, professional option for couples who want to get married without paying for a full wedding.

Paperwork-first process

Book online, pay the fee, prepare the NOIM, and send your paperwork in. We can help if any of it feels confusing.

Short legal ceremony

This is the minimum legal marriage ceremony and signing, not a personalised wedding ceremony.

Helpful support

We explain the process in plain language and help you get the forms, ID, and witnesses sorted.

Clear referrals when needed

If you want a full wedding, go to Josh Withers. If you want an elopement, go to Elopement Collective.

How it works

This is the customer journey from booking to getting married.

1. Book online

Click Get Married, complete the booking form, and pay the fee.

2. Prepare your NOIM

Use NOIM Easy to complete the Notice of Intended Marriage, then have it witnessed by the right person.

3. Send us your paperwork

Send the signed NOIM and your ID documents. We can help if one of you is overseas, divorced, or using documents in another language.

4. We confirm the appointment

Once the paperwork is received and checked, we confirm the next available date, time, and place based on our availability.

5. You get married

You both attend in person with two witnesses aged 18 or over. We do the required legal words, sign the certificates, and register the marriage.

Common questions

Straight answers in plain language.

Are you the government registry?

No. We are private authorised celebrants offering a registry-style marriage service. If you want a government registry booking, use the Queensland Registry. If you want a simple private service, book with us.

Is this a wedding ceremony?

No. This service is for couples who want to get legally married without a full wedding. There is no aisle, no personal ceremony, and no big production.

How do we get started?

Click Get Married, complete the booking form, and pay the fee. Then prepare your NOIM with NOIM Easy, have it witnessed properly, and send it to us.

When is our date confirmed?

We confirm the next available date, time, and place once your paperwork has been received and checked. Booking first does not lock in a ceremony time by itself.

Do we need witnesses?

Yes. Australian marriage law requires two witnesses aged 18 or over. If you need help, ask us and we can talk you through the options.

What if we want an elopement or a full wedding?

For an elopement, use Elopement Collective. For a full-service celebrant and wedding ceremony, use Josh Withers. This site is only for paperwork-only marriages.
