A Guide to a Cheap and Stress-Free Elopement
Weddings are beautiful celebrations of love, but not everyone dreams of a grand affair with months of planning and a large guest list. For some couples, a quick and fuss-free wedding is the perfect way to begin their journey together and the quicker the better.
Australia, known for its vibrant culture and stunning landscapes, offers several options for couples seeking a fast and easy wedding experience.
Let us take a moment to explore how you can have a quick elopement in Australia, ensuring a stress-free process that allows you to tie the knot swiftly.
How fast can we get hitched?
In Australia, you must give one month notice of your intended marriage, this is done via the Notice of Intended Marriage form. One month is the shortest turn-around legally possible and we marry many couples that are looking to do just that all across Australia, throughout Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, ACT, Western Australia and the Northern Territory. There are exceptions to the quick turnaround time of one month for getting married, but this is only under exceptional circumstances, if you believe you have exceptional circumstances, let us know, we may be able to assist!
All you need to get your one month waiting period started is to shoot us an inquiry, and we will show you how to lodge your Notice of Intent to Marry form with us, so we can set a date for as soon as one month away.
