Paperwork-only legal marriages by authorised celebrants. Courthouse-style and registry-style in tone, but not a courthouse or BDM Registry office.

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 product.

How to arrange it

The easiest way is to:

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