Marriage Guide - Step by step planning advice

If you are having a religious ceremony, contact the Religious Celebrant or if you are having a civil marriage contact the District Registrar, to agree the date of your wedding as soon as you have decided when you wish to be married.
For either a religious or civil ceremony, contact the District Registrar to request marriage notices approximately three months before your proposed wedding date.
Return completed marriage notices to the District Registrar approximately six weeks before the date of your wedding.
Remember that your notices must be displayed for 14 clear days before a schedule can be issued or a marriage take place.
Confirm all the arrangements with the person conducting your marriage in the week leading up to your marriage.
If your marriage is being conducted by a religious celebrant, collect the Marriage Schedule, in person, from the Registrar in the week leading up to your wedding day.
Immediately after the wedding you will be asked to sign the Marriage Schedule in permanent black ink, the bride signing in her maiden surname.
If a religious celebrant conducted your marriage, arrange to have the signed schedule returned to the District Registrar by a responsible person within three days of the wedding taking place.
Your marriage is registered on the next working day after it is returned.
Your marriage certificate is collected or posted.

Good Luck
