Who Is the Fancy Pants For?

Honestly? It is for the couple who looked at the guest list and could not quite get it under 10. The ones who want it small but realised there are people they just cannot do this without. Here is who we see booking the Fancy Pants most often:

👰 The Second Wives Club Been married before. Know exactly what they want this time — and what they do not. Small, meaningful, surrounded by the people who matter. No drama, no excess, no compromise.
👴👵 Can't Leave Grandma Out The couple who wants to elope but has a grandmother who would never recover from not being there. Grandma is there. So is Grandad. So are the kids. That is 11 guests. Fancy Pants it is.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The Blended Family Kids from previous relationships who deserve to be there. Watching their parent marry someone is a big deal for them too. The Fancy Pants makes it a ceremony they will actually remember.
🌏 The Legal Ceremony Crowd Getting married here legally and having the big celebration overseas. Close family only for the legal bit — but close family still deserves a proper moment, not just paperwork.

Three Ceremony Options — You Choose

The Fancy Pants comes with three ceremony options. All included in the same price. All completely legal. All performed by the same experienced I Do Crew celebrant. You pick the one that feels like you.

Option 1 — Just the Legals

All the legal words, none of the extras. Fast, clean, and done. The same 2 minute ceremony as the Vegas — just with more guests watching. Perfect for couples who want their people there but are not fussed about ceremony.

Most chosen
Option 2 — With a Bespoke Introduction

Your celebrant delivers a short, personalised introduction about you as a couple before the legal ceremony. A little warmth, a little personality, a little context for the people sitting in front of you. 5 minutes of properly beautiful.

Option 3 — Fully Personalised

The most personalised version. Your celebrant uses our Portal O Love questionnaire to craft a ceremony built around your story — who you are, how you got here, why this person. Up to 7 minutes. The one that makes Grandma cry.

Everything That Is Included

✅ Registered Commonwealth Marriage Celebrant

✅ Choice of three ceremony options

✅ Bespoke introduction if you want it

✅ Aisle walk at any location

✅ Personal vows welcome

✅ Ring exchange included

✅ NOIM lodgement with BDM

✅ Zoom with your celebrant beforehand

🎵 Music and the aisle walk — bring your own Bluetooth speaker and play whatever you want. Walk in to your song, have music playing in the background, or cue something for the ring exchange. The aisle walk works anywhere — a park path, a beach, a backyard, a pub corridor, a private dining room entrance. Your celebrant makes it work wherever you are.

Where Do Fancy Pants Couples Get Married?

Micro weddings have a beautiful energy that bigger weddings sometimes lose — everyone there is someone who matters. Here is where people tend to hold them.

🏡 Backyard BBQ The most popular. Get married in the backyard, fire up the barbie straight after. Relaxed, joyful, and completely yours. No venue hire, no strangers, no nonsense.
🌿 Park or Gardens A local park, botanical gardens, or a favourite spot that means something to you. Free for small groups, beautiful for photos, and easy for everyone to get to.
🍻 Private Pub Room Rent a private dining room or rooftop at your local pub. Ceremony done, drinks poured. The vibe is exactly right and the party is already sorted.
🏖️ Beach Salt air, bare feet, close family. The beach works beautifully for 25 people — especially early morning on a weekday when you have the whole place to yourselves.

Interfaith couple getting married in a Sydney garden with I Do Drive Thru — personalised micro wedding ceremony from $600
 

Every Culture. Every Faith. Every Couple.

One of the most beautiful things about micro weddings is the intimacy — and that intimacy makes space for things that get lost in bigger weddings. The Jewish groom and the non-religious bride. The couple from two different cultures whose families have different expectations. The couple whose faith is private and personal and does not belong on display for 150 people.

Our celebrants are experienced working with couples from every cultural, religious and personal background. The fully personalised ceremony option in the Fancy Pants can be tailored to reflect who you are — whatever that looks like. We have done interfaith ceremonies, bicultural ceremonies, ceremonies in two languages, ceremonies that incorporated cultural traditions, and ceremonies that deliberately left everything out. All of them were perfect.

You tell us what you need. We make it happen.

Your Celebrant Is Part of the I Do Crew

The Fancy Pants is our most personalised package — which means the celebrant delivering it matters. Every celebrant in the I Do Crew is a Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrant personally handpicked by our founders and working with us since 2020. They are experienced, relaxed, and genuinely good at reading a room.

For the fully personalised ceremony our celebrants use the Portal O Love questionnaire to craft something specific to you — not a generic script with your names dropped in, but a ceremony that actually reflects who you are as a couple. You will meet your celebrant on Zoom before the day so by the time they walk in, everyone is comfortable and the whole thing feels natural.

🧢 Second Wives Club

If you are a Second Wives Club member — you know who you are — we have the hat to prove it. Our Second Wives Club Trucker Hat is available in our merch store for $35. Wear it on the day. Wear it forever. You earned it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a micro wedding?

A micro wedding is a small, intimate wedding ceremony — typically under 25 guests — that prioritises the people who really matter over a big production. At I Do Drive Thru a micro wedding is our Fancy Pants Package — up to 25 guests, a personalised ceremony of 5 to 7 minutes, music, aisle walk, and everything that makes it feel like a proper wedding without the $36,000 price tag.

What is the difference between the Fancy Pants and the Vegas?

The Vegas covers up to 10 guests with a 2 or 5 minute ceremony and two ceremony options. The Fancy Pants covers up to 25 guests with a 5 to 7 minute ceremony, three ceremony options including a fully personalised version, a bespoke introduction, and music. The Fancy Pants is the step up for couples who want a little more ceremony and a few more people.

How personalised does the ceremony get?

With Option 3 — the fully personalised ceremony — your celebrant uses a detailed questionnaire in our Portal O Love to craft a ceremony that genuinely reflects your story. Not a generic script. Something specific to you. Your celebrant will discuss it with you on your Zoom call before the day so there are no surprises and you can adjust anything you want.

Do we need to arrange seating and setup?

Yes — seating, tables, decorations and any ceremony setup are the couple's responsibility. Your celebrant will work with whatever you have organised and can recommend local suppliers if you need suggestions. At a backyard BBQ most couples keep it relaxed with chairs in a semicircle. At a park or beach blankets and picnic rugs work perfectly.

Can we do an interfaith or bicultural ceremony?

Yes. Our celebrants are experienced with interfaith and bicultural ceremonies across all backgrounds. The fully personalised ceremony option allows the ceremony to be tailored to incorporate cultural or religious elements that are meaningful to you. Discuss this with your celebrant on your Zoom call before the day.

Can we add a photographer?

Yes — add the Fancy Pants Photography Package for the same price as the celebrant package. Your photographer will be on site for approximately one hour covering the ceremony and a portrait session that includes the couple and family. 30 edited images delivered within 7 days via Pixieset.
