Important things to note: This location is everyone’s favourite on a beautiful summer day. While street parking is usually available nearby this area can get busy on sunny weekends and during special events. In peak summer, consider the earlier or later parks of the day for more comfortable conditions.

Just married weddings made our day easy and stress free. Emailed instructions along the way were easy to follow and kept us updated. We were assigned Lisa Newman as our celebrant and she was amazing. She made the day fun and stress free. A brilliant alternative to more traditional/registry processes. And the Queen Victoria Gardens location was beautiful with a variety of backgrounds for photos.

It was a quick but a very lovely ceremony. Hassle free for us and just right for our budget. Our celebrant Jonelle is so comfortable to be with. The Just Married admin as well is so prompt and provided us with everything we need. They even remind us with the things we need to submit. Thank You so much Just MArried Weddings. You made our wedding just the way we want it. Thank You

Incredible location for small ceremonies. My husband and I had an amazing time at our Sydney Harbour elopement with a small group of family. Jonelle was excellent and our ceremony ran smoothly. I highly recommend if you are wanting a smaller wedding.

We were married on South Perth foreshore, a really beautiful intimate ceremony. Our celebrant Brooke was really lovely and accommodating to our style of wedding. Overall the booking, paperwork and ceremony process was easy and no stress. I'm so glad we opted for South Perth foreshore vs Perth registry office.

I booked with them then cancelled because of lack of pretty and accessible location options and lost $100. Your admin and customer service was ok but very dissapointed with your locations as they are very limited and underwhelming. The photos you have on social media aren't of the exact ceremony location because you use photos from other areas that have been photographed that are away from the ceremony location. Why is one location (Hunter Valley) literally a rest area for drivers and truckers? Surely there are better options. A rest area is hardly a desirable location. Also when I browsed a beach location it looked very secluded on your social media but its not at all.
