There are endless locations apart from the conventional where a couple can be married. Check with your local council with regard to permits, approval, booking dates and fees charged for public parks, beaches, historic houses etc so as to avoid disappointment of utililizing a favourite or sentimental location.
International Visitors
Many couples from overseas choose to marry in Australia. It is important to check with your government authorities that a ceremony conducted in Australia is legally recognised. Angela will be able to assist you with the appropriate procedures.
