Commonwealth Authorised Celebrants at the MELBOURNE MARRIAGE REGISTRY – VICTORIA
Your wedding ceremony should feel exactly the way you want it to feel.
Some couples choose a simple legal ceremony with only the required legal wording and the signing of the marriage documents. Others prefer a more personalised celebration with their own vows, readings, music and special moments shared with family and friends. The choice is entirely yours.
At Pride Registry Weddings, Melbourne Marriage Registry and the Victorian Marriage Hub, we believe every couple should have the freedom to create a ceremony that reflects their relationship, personality and story.
Our experienced Commonwealth-registered marriage celebrants can conduct everything from a simple registry-style wedding or intimate elopement through to a fully personalised ceremony with family participation, custom vows, readings and music.
As long as the legal requirements for marriage in Australia are met, you are welcome to include your own vows, poems, readings, cultural traditions and personal touches.
Many same-sex and LGBTQIA+ couples choose to create a ceremony that is uniquely their own, and our celebrants are always happy to discuss ideas that will make your wedding feel meaningful and memorable.
Most ceremonies are conducted in our beautiful South Yarra ceremony rooms at the Victorian Marriage Hub.
Our intimate ceremony rooms comfortably accommodate intimate weddings through to celebrations of more than 35 guests and provides a welcoming and elegant setting for registry-style weddings, same-sex weddings, LGBTQIA+ ceremonies and elopements.
Extended ceremonies and larger guest numbers may also be accommodated by prior arrangement.
Wedding ceremony packages start from under $300 and include your celebrant, ceremony, legal paperwork and use of the ceremony room.
Additional options are available for extended ceremonies, evenings, weekends and special dates. Full pricing details can be found in our Price Guide.
Call (03) 9820 1119 to discuss your ceremony options or make a booking. If we are conducting a wedding and unable to answer, please call or text 0424 77 88 00 and we will return your call as soon as the ceremony is completed.
We would be honoured to help you create a wedding ceremony that feels authentic, personal and completely yours.

The lovely staff were a breath of fresh air. And a special shoutout to Chess, who made our day one to truly remember!!! 5 stars is not enough for this beautiful venue! ❤️Posted on Ajla Lovrecic14/11/2022 Such a great experience. We assumed that we would be walking into a room with a desk and signing some papers. It was absolutely beyond our expectations. The ceremony and set up was so beautiful. We wanted something budget friendly & intimate only with our immediate family. We got that and soo much more. Chess was wonderful on the day. She guided us through every step. I was so nervous but the atmosphere when we walked in immediately made us both calm and ready to take the next step in our lives. We couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful day and just want to express our deepest gratitude. Will highly be recommending this to all our family and friends!Posted on Kerrie “Kez”28/08/2022 These wonderful people helped us organise our Melb wedding, from our interstate home. And when, at the last moment, we asked if they could come to us on location in Melb, they readily and happily accommodated us. Chess, our Celebrant, was the perfect person for a perfect day. She seemed to have an innate ability to tap into our essence and wove the ceremony accordingly. She exudes love, warmth and sincerity and brings ease and her own beautiful nature to a very special day. Everyone at the wedding was in agreeance and all fell in love with her. She was perfect. Thank you so much Chess. xxPosted on Scotty26/08/2022 Great service ,Chess was fantastic ,she really made our special day perfect. I definitely highly recommend.
