    I wonder if anyone here can help. My girlfriend and I want to get married next year. We don't intend to have a religious ceremony. To be honest we are totally clueless in regards to organising it. How do we apply and how long would the waiting list roughly be?
    Thanks.

    Need more info....

    How do you apply for what? Venue? Ceremony? Declaration of intent to marry? Marriage course?

    What do you mean by waiting list? Maybe civil ceremonies are different but there's no waiting list, you check the dates you want with the venues/vendors you want and go from there.

    When next year? January? July? December? It makes a big difference. Summer 2016 will likely be tough to book preferred venues & vendors and this stage. Oct-Dec though should be much easier as they are quieter times for weddings. I'd say the same about Jan-March but it's probably too late to start booking things now.

    Hi FarmersMarket, I'm a celebrant/solemniser- I'm happy to talk you through the ceremony side of things if you'd like? The whole thing can be as simple or as fancy as you like, but you need to start brainstorming ideas to see what you want. Large or small? Local or will travel? Just family? Venue? Budget? etc etc. Feel free to PM me if you'd like :-)

    Do you want something other than the registry office?

    Just submit the 'intent to marry' form, and the hse registrar will marry you, you can choose from some slots. You organise your own party then whenever you want.
