"Let’s Just Go to the Registry Office”… The Registry Office? Babe, That’s Me… But With Better Vibes

Updated: Aug 1

Registry-Style Ceremony Without the Stuffy Office


You know that line in movies where someone says, “Let’s just go down to the registry office!”?

Cue the dramatic decision to skip the big wedding, duck off for something simple, and legally tie the knot.

Here’s the twist: in Western Australia, “the registry office” doesn’t have to be a government building at all.


In fact, I am the registry office.


Okay, okay… I don’t sit behind a marble desk in a government building (thank faaaark – I’m not made for that life). But as an authorised marriage celebrant based in Perth, I can conduct what’s called a legals-only wedding ceremony, same paperwork, same legal vows, same official outcome just in a much more personal setting. No stuffy marriage office just something short & sweet. No fuss, no fluff – just the legal words


💍 Want to get married at home in Perth with just your kids and the dog? I’m there.☕ Prefer a quick registry-style wedding in a café? Let’s do it.

🌳 Fancy a simple elopement ceremony in a park or on the beach? Too easy.

🏡 Want to pop over to my place and make it official with zero fuss? That’s an option too.


Bride and groom exchange rings outdoors with Perth-based marriage celebrant Carina Quinn at a private legals-only ceremony. Surrounded by trees, the mood is joyful and serene.

And unlike the single marriage office in Perth (yep there’s just one), you’re not limited by business hours or government settings. With a celebrant, you choose the date, the place, and the vibe. I’ll bring the legal bits.

 

💡 What is a Legals-Only Ceremony?

It’s exactly what it sounds like.We meet all the legal requirements to get you married. No fluff, no guest list (unless you want one), no personalised vows unless you’re keen. These legals-only ceremonies are perfect if you want a quick registry-style wedding in Perth — no fluff, just the paperwork and the ‘I do.’



  • Just the legal vows and paperwork

  • The signing of three official marriage documents

  • Two witnesses

  • Me (your celebrant)


That’s it. You’re officially and legally married in Australia.

 

Perfect for Couples Who Just Want to be Married

  • You want a fuss-free marriage ceremony in Perth

  • You’re planning a big celebration later but want the legal stuff done now

  • You need to get legally married in Australia for visa or travel reasons

  • You want something meaningful but low-key

  • You love the simplicity of a registry-style wedding but want it with better vibes

  • You’ve decided you just want to be married already… simple as that!!

I am grateful and humbled to work, learn, live, create and perform ceremonies on the land of The Whadjuk Nyoongar people.

Aboriginal cultures and customs have nurtured, and continue to nurture, this land. We follow in the footsteps of those who have been before us for tens of thousands of years. This land beneath us has seen people dance and sing, live and hold ceremonies, not too dissimilar from the ceremonies I create.

I appreciate, pay my respects and honour the custodians, Aboriginal Elders past, present and emerging for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia. We are but a piece in the bigger picture.  ​
