Getting married in Victoria

Victoria is home to more of our vetted vendors than anywhere else in the world, most of them based in Melbourne. Whether you want a laneway elopement, a distillery reception or a long lunch in wine country, you’ll find people here who get it.

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. Want to keep it simple? Births, Deaths and Marriages Victoria also runs registry ceremonies.

Where couples are saying yes

The Yarra Valley is a favorite, and our guide to LGBTQ+ wedding venues in the Yarra Valley is the place to start. Our couples have celebrated at Coombe, thrown a distillery reception in Melbourne and even proposed at Edgar’s Mission.

Celebrating with community

Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival and ChillOut in Daylesford, one of Australia’s biggest regional queer festivals, make Victoria a joyful place to plan a queer wedding, or a pre-wedding weekend away.

Questions couples ask

Can same-sex couples legally marry in Victoria?

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.

Is the Yarra Valley good for a queer wedding?

Yes. It has plenty of affirming venues within about an hour of Melbourne. Start with our guide to LGBTQ+ wedding venues in the Yarra Valley.

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