Marriage Registry Weddings
LGBTQIA+ Weddings
Welcome to Australia’s pioneering LGBTQIA+ and same-sex friendly private marriage registry.
When marriage equality became law in Australia, we were proud to welcome LGBTQIA+ couples into the registry ceremony rooms we had spent years creating. Today, nothing has changed. You are welcome here, your relationship is celebrated, and our team would be honoured to help you create a wedding day that feels exactly right for you.
The Victorian Marriage Hub and Melbourne Marriage Registry proudly welcome couples from across Australia and around the world. Whether you are planning a simple legal marriage, an intimate elopement, a registry-style wedding ceremony, or a celebration with family and friends, we are here to help make the process simple, welcoming and memorable.
Our experienced celebrants can guide you through every step of the process, including lodging your Notice of Intended Marriage (NOIM), understanding the legal requirements for marriage in Australia, and creating a ceremony that reflects your relationship and your story.
For couples travelling from interstate or overseas, we can also assist with registry-style weddings, destination weddings, elopements and visa-related marriage documentation where required.
The team behind Melbourne Marriage Registry established Australia’s first independent private marriage registry in 2010 with a vision of creating a more personal, elegant and welcoming alternative to traditional registry weddings. Today, that same philosophy continues throughout the Victorian Marriage Hub, where every couple is treated with warmth, respect and genuine care.
Our award-winning South Yarra ceremony rooms have welcomed couples from across Australia and around the world, and we proudly celebrate marriages for people from every background, culture, nationality and walk of life.
If you are looking for an LGBTQIA+ friendly wedding venue, same-sex marriage ceremony, gay wedding, lesbian wedding, transgender-inclusive wedding service, or award-winning experienced marriage celebrants in Victoria, we would be delighted to help you celebrate your special day.
