Registry Wedding

$90.00

A Registry Wedding has a set cost and standard vows. Internal Affairs no longer offer Registry Weddings at a Registry Office as this has now been outsourced to the celebrant community.  

Even though the ceremony is short and sweet, this is a beautiful option for couples who want a confident, warm, helpful and fun celebrant to help them get married and enjoy their special day.

Registry weddings can only be performed on weekdays (not public holidays) and have a set celebrant fee of $90 plus $150 licence fee (payable to Births, Deaths and Marriages). 

You need to apply for your Marriage Licence at least three days before the ceremony. This licence confirms to the celebrant it is legal for you to marry.

Applying for your Registry marriage licence is simple - click on the link to Births, Deaths and Marriages here and select Registry Ceremonies.

The Registry Wedding is a good option if there is just yourselves, your two witnesses and a small group of guests.

Personalised Wedding

$600.00
(Any travel outside of the Auckland
area may incur travel costs)

For couples who want a personalised wedding ceremony written especially for them, reflecting their story and any of their special cultural or spiritual elements. We will work together to adapt a style to suit your needs and wishes. 

At our first meeting we can discuss as to what you would like for your wedding ceremony.  This includes how to apply for your marriage licence, your marriage certificate and ideas for poems, songs, readings and vows.

I will draft the ceremony including the story of how you met and fell in love and what you love about each other. The wedding ceremony can be as simple or elaborate as you would like but I will craft it to reflect, your personalities and beliefs. 

We can also hold a rehearsal before the wedding day at the venue. It’s a chance to have all the wedding party together. We will work out the details of the day, such as where everyone will stand, walk in, walk out and so forth. This is the best preparation for calming your nerves and being completely ready for your big day.
