Why Getting Married at Home Makes Complete Sense.
There is no venue that knows you better than your own home. The garden your dad planted. The dining table you have eaten at for twenty years. The backyard where the kids grew up. The lounge room where you watched movies and decided you liked each other enough to do this forever. Getting married in that space — with a celebrant who comes to you — is genuinely meaningful in a way that a hired venue rarely is.
And the BBQ goes on straight after. Which is, frankly, the ideal wedding reception.
This Is For You If...
📸 Professional Photos of Your Home. On the Day You Got Married.
This is something couples do not always think about — but should. When you get married at home and add a photographer, you get professional portraits taken in your own space. Your lounge room. Your backyard. Your garden. The home you built together or just finished renovating.
These are not just wedding photos. They are a document of your life at the moment you got married — the home you were living in, the things around you, your cats on the couch, your dog in the garden. Couples who add a photographer to a home ceremony consistently tell us it is the best decision they made.
Add a Photographer — From $400 →Every Home Is Different. All of Them Work.
Our celebrants have married couples in every home setting imaginable. Here are the most common — all completely legal, all genuinely beautiful.
The most popular home ceremony setting by far. Under a tree. In the garden your dad spent years building. On the deck. Surrounded by the plants you have grown. The backyard is deeply personal — and the photographs are always extraordinary because the setting is completely real.
The room you actually live in. The couch you sit on together. The bookshelves, the artwork, the things that make it yours. A lounge room ceremony is quietly remarkable — it feels nothing like a traditional wedding and completely like you. Renovation photoshoot? This is the spot.
Sitting around the table with your parents and a cup of tea. Celebrant signs the paperwork. Two minutes later you are married. This is one of the most genuinely moving ceremony formats we do — there is something profound about doing it at the table where your family has always gathered.
The garden a parent or grandparent has spent decades tending. The roses, the veggie patch, the fruit trees, the order they have imposed on the world. Getting married in that garden, with that person present, is a very particular kind of meaningful that no hired venue can replicate.

How It Works
Tell us your suburb and state, your preferred date, and the package you want. No travel fees for most metro locations. We confirm availability and assign your local celebrant within one business day.
We send you the Notice of Intended Marriage form and lodge it with your state's Births, Deaths and Marriages on your behalf. Must be lodged at least one month before the ceremony. NOIM lodgement is included in every package.
Meet your celebrant on Zoom. Talk through the ceremony, any personal touches you want included, where in the home the ceremony will happen. Your celebrant will have a clear picture of your day before they arrive.
Your celebrant knocks on the door, finds the spot, and marries you in 2 to 7 minutes. Presentation certificate on the day. Marriage registered with your state's BDM. Then your home — and everyone in it — is yours for the rest of the day.
Every Home. Every Couple. Every Reason.
Couples who just finished renovating and want professional photos in their home on the most important day. Couples whose parents cannot travel. Couples with young children who need the ceremony to fit around a nap schedule. Couples who have been together for decades and simply want to do it their way in their own space. LGBTQ+ couples. Couples who hate fuss. Couples who love the idea of a BBQ immediately after. Every single one of them is welcome here.
All love. All homes. All of Australia. From $400.
