2. No interview required

Before you can get married at the government Marriage Registry Office the two of you are required to attend an interview at the Registry office. This generally is when you complete your Notice of Intended Marriage - which means you have to then wait at least a month after the interview to get married.


3. Book online 24/7

You don't have to wait to check availability, as you have to with the Marriage Registry Office. Any time of the day or night you can check availability at all of our amazing locations and then book it in. At the Marriage Registry Office, you have to call Monday to Friday between        8.30am -4pm,  to find out when they have availability and then, you arrange a time to go in for your interview - one month prior.  Click here and find out how easy it is with Simple Ceremonies.

5.  Complete paperwork 24/7 - Online

Everyone getting married has to complete a Notice of Intended Marriage form (NoIM) at least one calendar month prior to their ceremony date, as required by law in New South Wales.

With Simple Ceremonies this is done online and even signed on your smartphone by both you and your witness. This means you could do this at any time of the day or night, from anywhere in the world.

At the Marriage Registry Office, you are required to call and make an appointment before you go in for your interview and then complete your NoIM. They also require both of you to attend. Whereas at Simple Ceremonies, only one of you has to sign the NoIM in order to submit it, which is compliant with the Marriage Act.

Simple Ceremonies registers your marriage online immediately after your ceremony.

(Note BDM charge a fee of $60 for the Registered Certificate of Marriage plus an additional $28 for same day pick up.)
