Gold Coast City Marriage Registry provides private, legally recognised marriage ceremonies for couples seeking a simple, discreet alternative to a traditional wedding. Located in a secure, climate-controlled office suite at Southport Central in the Gold Coast CBD, the registry offers a comfortable, weather-proof setting with central access and nearby undercover parking. Founded in 2021 by Paige Mengel, the business aims to make the legal process clear and stress-free while allowing each couple to celebrate in a way that suits them.

Ceremonies are conducted by an authorised marriage celebrant and meet Australian legal requirements. Options include a Legals Only service for $595, a registry-style ceremony for $695, and a legal ceremony before a larger wedding for $495. Registry-style ceremonies can include optional rings and personal vows, with space for a small number of guests. The registry also welcomes elopements, second marriages, time-sensitive arrangements and couples planning a separate celebration. Witnesses can be provided if required, and ceremony times are arranged to suit couples where possible. Public holiday fees apply.
