More and more couples are saying “No thanks” to big, stressful weddings and saying “Yes please!” to something far more meaningful. Something intimate, easy, and authentically them. Welcome to the world of courthouse and registry-style micro weddings.

But why are courthouse style and micro weddings the new trend? It’s all about simplicity. Well, that and a little pinch of a more budget friendly cost. You still get the butterflies, the vows, the tears and the beautiful photos but you also get to spend time with people who matter to you most, not Auntie Mary’s second husband’s children from his first marriage whose names you can never quite remember. You also get to choose what to spend your money on. Champagne for two hundred guests needs to be budget sparkling, possibly from a can, but Champagne for four can be French, delicious and oh so beautifully decadent. A second bottle? Naturellement!!

The Fremantle Marriage Office is a hidden gem at the heart of courthouse-style and micro weddings, jam packed with character and history, with its limestone walls, high ceilings, and a real sense of occasion. It’s in the perfect location for amazing photos being steps away from the historical buildings of this beautiful port city, a short stroll to the beach and absolutely drenched in that cool Freo vibe we all want to be touched by.

We hold short and sweet ceremonies for those who want to tick the boxes before skipping off into the sunset together, as well as longer ceremonies for those wanting more time to savour the moment. Whatever suits!

If that hasn’t convinced you to book, further proof of this micro trend is that celebs are also jumping on board. Charli XCX (to be completely honest I’ve no idea who this person is, but apparently she/he/they is a celebrity) recently had a registry style ceremony at Hackney Town Hall showing courthouse and registry micro weddings are now glamorous and real, becoming the go-to for people who value connection over convention, personality over pageantry, moments over menus and last but not least budget over blow out.

Book your micro wedding with us and see what all the fuss is about!
