Small wedding, big moment
An intimate, legal ceremony at a cosy local venue, with an experienced celebrant and none of the production.
Keep it close, keep it real
A small wedding ceremony isn't a lesser one. When the room is tiny, every word lands. You hear each other properly, nobody's managing a timeline, and the whole thing feels like it belongs to you.
Weekday Weds is designed for the two of you plus your witnesses, at cafés and community spaces in Melbourne's north-east. It's short, warm and fully legal, and the price includes your paperwork, your official certificate and a drink to celebrate. Hoping to bring someone along? Just ask when you book your date.

Small wedding questions
How small is a Weekday Weds ceremony?
It's designed for the two of you plus your two witnesses. If you're hoping to bring someone along, just ask when you book.
Is a small wedding ceremony still legal?
Yes. Size has nothing to do with it. A ceremony with a registered celebrant, two witnesses and the right paperwork is a full legal marriage.
Can our kids or parents be our witnesses?
Witnesses must be 18 or over. Adult family members can absolutely be your witnesses.
Where are small weddings held?
At cosy local venues around Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs, like cafés and community spaces.
Can we have a photographer at a small ceremony?
Yes. Bring your own, or ask John for a recommendation.
How much does a small wedding ceremony cost?
From $500, including the ceremony, all paperwork, your official certificate and a coffee or cocktail.
Can we have a bigger party afterwards?
Of course. Many couples have a small ceremony now and a bigger celebration later.
