Getting married in Queensland

Queensland is made for outdoor weddings, with beaches, islands and hinterland rainforest all within reach. Summer brings heat, humidity and storms, so many couples plan for the drier, milder months from late autumn through spring.

The legal bit

Marriage law is the same across Australia. Lodge a Notice of Intended Marriage with your celebrant at least one month and no more than 18 months before the day, then marry with an authorized celebrant and two witnesses over 18. Outdoor ceremonies on beaches and in parks are popular, so ask your local council about any permits for public spaces.

Where couples are saying yes

Our favorite recent Queensland story? A Gold Coast elopement with giant cat heads. Planning a bigger trip? Our NSW vendors cover Byron Bay, just over the border.

Questions couples ask

Can same-sex couples legally marry in Queensland?

Yes. Marriage equality has been law across Australia since December 2017, and the right to marry is no longer determined by sex or gender.

How far ahead do we need to lodge our Notice of Intended Marriage?

At least one month and no more than 18 months before your wedding. Your celebrant lodges it for you.

How many witnesses do we need?

Two, and both must be over 18.

Can a friend marry us?

Only an authorized celebrant can legally marry you. Plenty of couples have a friend lead the ceremony, with the celebrant handling the legal words and paperwork.

When is the best time for an outdoor wedding in Queensland?

Many couples choose late autumn through spring, when it is drier and milder. Summer can be hot and humid, with afternoon storms.

Legal details last checked October 2026 against the Attorney-General’s Department. Always confirm with your celebrant and local council.
