Yes I perform these sorts of marriages all the time, please see my website treasured ceremonies
If you want to get married in Melbourne, you need to give one months notice to the celebrant of your choice. This is because you have to submit a 'Notice of Intended Marriage' form to the celebrant at least one month before your wedding. So make sure your visas don't expire before the wedding date.

Congratulations, easy answer is yes you can. more challenging answer well there is none. Just make sure you have all the documents required, pick a venue and we can have fun making your wedding happen.
Hello, there's no problem for you to marry in a civil ceremony anywhere in Australia. You simply need to choose a celebrant who suits you and follow the advice given to you in relation to proving your identity, ensuring you are both freely able to consent to marrying one another and lodging your Notice of Intended Marriage within the legal timeframe. You don't both have to be in Australia in order to do that, so talk to your celebrant about the process. I specialise in ceremonies which draw from different cultural backgrounds so I'd be happy to assist you if you'd like.
I hope this is helpful.
Best wishes, Jen Lawrie-Smith.
Hi - yes you can definitely get married in a civil ceremony if you are over 18 years of and are not married to anyone else already!
In order to get married in Australian you will need to fill in the Notice of Intended Marrigae, which I can email you and appoint a Celebrnant at least one month before your wedding date (not earlier that 18 months before.)
For further information, don't hesitate to get in touch.
Warmest regards
Kate
