Do you think it is a good idea to get married? ^ TOP Of course it is!
Why do couples choose to elope? ^ TOP Many reasons! Some couples find the stress and expense of planning a "Big Wedding" to be overwhelming. Some dread the thought of standing in front of a large crowd as the centre of attention. Some choose to elope to make their wedding day a truly intimate, romantic experience. Some choose to avoid issues with family about religion or culture. Some people are so in love that they simply can't wait to be married. Some have been down that aisle before. Whatever your reason, be it wedding cost, ease, intimacy, that embarrassing Uncle who thinks he's Elvis, Johanna will make your wedding day about you. Vows Now offer Simple, Legal and Affordable Marriage ceremonies for those who want to Get Just Married® How do I make a booking? ^ TOP Easy. Just click the booking enquiry link which can be found at the top of the page. Once I have confirmed your booking, I will email you a link to where you can make your online deposit. What is the shortest ceremony available? ^ TOP
At Vows Now we specialise in short ceremonies! You can Get Just Married® in as little as 3 minutes. In order to have a legal wedding ceremony, as the Celebrant I need to say the Monitum, specific words to ensure the couple understand the significance of a legal wedding. There must also be an exchange of vows in front of 2 witnesses over 18 years of age, that can be as simple as "I call upon the persons here present to witness that I (First name, Middle name, Surname) take you, (First name, Middle name, Surname) to be my lawful wedded husband/wife". You'll be off on your Honeymoon faster than I can say "You may now kiss the bride".
There are some people that are shy, prefer to avoid crowds or would rather the intimacy of just marrying without a cast of thousands looking on. Vows Now understand this as I chose exactly this style of ceremony when I married my husband. We had the Celebrant's wife and a photographer act as our witnesses and opted to say the bare minimum wording. We signed the legal documents and headed off for a lovely lunch for two! Legal, yet romantic, intimate, fuss free and inexpensive. Why not call Vows Now to Get Just Married®? What does it cost to Get Just Married®? ^ TOP
It could cost you nothing if you ask your family and friends to buy your wedding for you! Yes... we have Wedding Gift Certificates available to cover all or part of our Fees to perform your ceremony. Don't want wedding presents? Ask your friends to present you with the wedding!

Better still, our ceremonies are short and sweet so you can be on your Honeymoon in next to no time.

What do we wear to our wedding? ^ TOP You can wear whatever you like! At Vows Now we don't expect you to conform to any "Traditional" wedding attire. You can wear pyjamas if that's what makes you comfortable. We'd prefer that you wear clothes of some description...Our ceremonies are brief enough! What will the Celebrant wear to our wedding? ^ TOP
You can tell me what you'd like me to wear. I have a range of outfits from formal dresses to jeans. My outfit will be chosen to suit your ceremony. I can even wear "Fancy Dress" if you'd like to have a theme wedding. (Additional fees will apply for costume hire)

Can we have a photographer at our wedding? ^ TOP
Sure! We can recommend plenty of professional photographers who can offer you a reasonably priced photo package. You could even consider asking the photographer to be one of your witnesses to your marriage (I did!). Alternatively if you'd like to have some amateur photos taken of you on your wedding day, I'd be happy to take some for you using either your camera or mine. If we ask him nicely my husband will also take some shots if he's available. Check out the links I love tab at the top of the page to find a photographer willing to capture your wedding day. So?
