Registry Weddings in Timaru ~ Simple, Legal and Quick
Looking for a no-fuss, straightforward way to get married in Timaru? A Registry Wedding is the perfect option for couples who want to keep it simple and legal - no frills, just the "I do's." Now that courthouses in New Zealand no longer offer registry weddings, authorised VCANZ celebrants (like me) are here to help. |

If you just want the legal essentials, this is for you! A Registry Ceremony is a fixed-script, set-vows wedding. No personalisation, no fancy extras~just the important part: getting you legally married. Here's how easy it is:

Where Can You Hold Your Registry Ceremony?
The location must be in Timaru
Important: Registry weddings can't be held in wedding venues, hotels, restaurants, or function centres. If a council requires a permit or fee for your chosen spot, that's the couple's responsibility. |
What's Included (and What's Not)
✅ Simple legal ceremony ~ set vows and script. ✅ Up to 10 guests. ✅ No travel fee (within Timaru township). ✅ Ceremony and signing lasts around 10/15 minutes. 🚫 No professional photographers or videographers. 🚫 No bridal party, MCs, or wedding planners. 🚫 No music or personal vows. Guests are welcome to snap photos on their phones! |

Jade was lovely, we had a registry ceremony - just us and two witnesses.
She made the whole process simple and even saved the day when one of the witnesses was unable to make it with two hours to go! She even took some great photos for us! Jade went above and beyond to help make our day special and easy. Thank you for everything. A+++ Su + Kevin | Registry Wedding |
