The location of the ceremony is your choice - from beautiful beaches, harbourside parks, restaurants, function centres or historic houses.

Marriage ceremony

For a marriage ceremony to be legally binding, there are essentially 3 requirements on the day:

The Celebrant must state their legal authority to perform marriages and must state the definition of marriage according to law in Australia.
The couples must exchange vows - these include a specific statement as well as their own vows if they so wish.
Sign the certificates ( with two witnesses )and the marriage register

Other aspects, such as rituals, symbolism, exchange of rings, readings and music are the couple's choosing.
