About Canberra Small Weddings
Canberra Small Weddings offers a simpler way to get married in Canberra, where there is no registry office or courthouse ceremony. One booking brings an authorised civil celebrant and a professional photographer to an intimate wedding of up to 30 guests, and the team has married more than 560 couples. Ceremonies are held any Sunday to Thursday at a place you choose – your home or backyard, a park, a restaurant or a venue, subject to permission. The ceremony is fully legal under the Marriage Act, and the celebrant lodges the paperwork and supplies your certificate of marriage. You need two witnesses aged 18 or over, and the photographer can act as one of them. Rings are optional, and the celebrant can suggest alternatives to the ring exchange. Photography runs for up to an hour, covering the ceremony, groups with family and friends, and a short shoot of the couple, with no cap on the number of images. You receive edited full-resolution photos, mostly colour with some converted to monochrome, in a downloadable online gallery with a print release, usually within a month. Coverage can be extended for getting-ready shots, part of the reception or a longer couple shoot. The team can also help with a simple bouquet and buttonhole and suggest indoor or outdoor locations, and vow renewals, commitment ceremonies and naming ceremonies are conducted too.
