Marriage Celebrant Melbourne CBD | Registry Office Alternative
Skip the wait times and standard scripts. Annie Birch provides soulful, legal-only signings and bespoke weddings in the heart of Melbourne.
The City Specialist
Melbourne’s CBD offers iconic backdrops, from the steps of the State Library to the graffiti-filled laneways. For couples seeking a ‘Registry Office’ style wedding with a more personal touch, I provide a soulful city solution that moves at your pace.
The $600 City Legal
Avoid the clinical feel of a government office. My $600 ‘Wedding Without the Fuss’ package is the perfect ‘Legals Only’ option for city-based couples who want a meaningful ‘I do’ moment without the big production
Bespoke City Celebrations
From rooftop bars like Siglo to grand heritage venues like the Melbourne Town Hall, I specialize in crafting full-service ceremonies ($1100) that match the energy and elegance of a cosmopolitan Melbourne wedding
Intimate Elopements
Looking for a quiet corner in the Royal Botanic Gardens or a chic corner at Higher Ground? I specialize in micro-weddings ($950) that focus on intimacy, ensuring your inner-city elopement feels truly private
Iconic Melbourne CBD Wedding Venues I Service
I am deeply familiar with Melbourne’s premier CBD venues, including the Hellenic Museum and the NGV. Being centrally active, I navigate the city grid effortlessly to arrive at your venue perfectly prepared
Hassle-Free Legal
I manage all your legal requirements, including the NOIM and BDM lodgements. For international couples or those planning a destination city wedding, I ensure every legal ‘t’ is crossed and ‘i’ is dotted
