Before the day,

In NZ, all couples need to submit a Notice of Intended Marriage form with Births, Deaths & Marriages (BDM60). This can be obtained on line at www.bdm.govt.nz

Alternatively we can provide you with the necessary paperwork. Either the bride or groom must deliver the completed notice personally to the Registrar of Marriages and make the required statutory declaration.

On the Day,

During the ceremony, you are both required to sign two documents along with your witnesses as required by law. As your marriage celebrant, we will forward one copy of the form to the Registrar of Marriages so that your marriage can be officially registered. The other copy will be given to you as a legal record of your marriage.
