Book your wedding at an iconic Melbourne site

The state government has launched a new booking system for registry wedding ceremonies at the Old Treasury Building.

Government Services Minister Natalie Hutchins announced that the improved marriage registry booking system would give Victorians a simpler and more efficient online process to create accounts and manage their bookings and documents, so they can focus on what is most important on their wedding day.

“We’re making it easier to prepare for your big day with a new and improved system to lock in your wedding ceremony with the Victorian Marriage Registry,” she said.

“Weddings are a beautiful time in a person’s life, and we want to take away some of the stress so Victorians can focus on more important matters of their special day.”

The improved system on the Service Victoria website has an added layer of security, prevents double bookings, keeps all related documents linked, and simplifies rescheduling and cancellations.

Victorians will also receive email reminders for outstanding documents and have updates instantly reflected in their booking information, through their accounts.

The Department of Government Services has delivered the new system as part of its work to make it easier for Victorians to engage with government.

The department’s marriage registry is the largest provider of wedding ceremonies in Victoria, having married more than 3,600 couples in 2024 at the Old Treasury Building on Spring Street.

The registry offers two different wedding packages, with options to personalise parts of the ceremony, or keep things simple with a ’no frills, no fuss’ wedding service. The launch of the new system will have no impact on existing bookings.
