Thirty-three couples will tie the knot under the world-famous sails of the Sydney Opera House this Valentine\u2019s Day, in civil wedding ceremonies offered by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting at $1,299, the Registry\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day weddings offer a cost-effective and novel way for couples to tie the knot, with the average Australian wedding costing $36,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sydney Opera House has been a popular choice among those seeking an intimate wedding setting, with around 80 ceremonies celebrated at the iconic venue since the Registry opened this line of packages in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The nuptials are hosted in the Sydney Opera House\u2019s Yallamundi Room, which has views of Sydney Harbour, with a styled ceremony for up to 35 guests, a celebrant and wedding certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following Valentine\u2019s Day, the Registry is also conducting several sold-out ceremonies at the Chinese Garden of Friendship, Sydney Zoo, Peppers Creek, The Old Clare, Vaucluse House, and Hyde Hacienda in Circular Quay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affordable civil wedding ceremonies offered by the Registry help couples celebrate their love as cost-of-living pressures continue to impact people across NSW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Registry is in the process of moving its central office to a new contemporary space in the heart of Sydney at Pyrmont Bay, with couples now able to book ceremonies for March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weddings held at the NSW Registry venue start for as little as $477 with a range of options available to build a couple\u2019s dream day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
