Say I Do at the pub this Valentine's Day
Sunday February 14, 2027.
Bateau Bay Hotel.
A completely legal, registry-style wedding at the local pub led by Authorised Marriage Celebrant Bec Page with very cool photos included by photographer Jacob Hughes, all for just $899.
If your love language was already the pub, let's make it your wedding venue.
Valentine’s Day just got LEGIT, LOVERS!
Lock in your time with a $249 booking fee. Bookings close Tuesday 12 January 2027.
You've waited long enough, lovebirds.
You’ve built a life together.
Maybe some kids, definitely some bills, quiet Friday beers and burgers, and all the things.
The only thing missing is one little piece of paper that says you’re officially, legally, gloriously married, and a big wedding has never quite felt like your thing (or your budget).
You’ve talked about it, joked about it, maybe even planned it once…
But weddings are expensive. Time-consuming. And let’s be honest: not really your thing.
(Spotlight, awkward speeches, long lost cousins, $3000 cake? Nope.)
But now? It’s time.
To do it your way.
Quick. Easy. Meaningful. At the pub.
On Valentine’s Day.
Let’s bloody lock it in, legends.
Last Valentine's Day, 13 couples did it in the beer garden with me, and we have photos to prove it...
In 2026 we popped up at the Bateau Bay Hotel for the very first time with marriage certificates and cameras ready to go. Thirteen couples said "I do" between lunch and late arvo, some in their Sunday best, some in their favourite jeans, all of them grinning from ear to ear.
It turned out to be one of the most joyful days we've ever had, and we’ve been counting down to doing it all again ever since.
Ready for your turn?
Here's what's on your mind...
“We’ve been engaged forever, but the big wedding never felt like us.”
“We just want to be married, without spending a small fortune or standing in a stiff ceremony room.”
“Married without a wedding? Making it fun, legal, and without annoying advice from the in-laws? Please and thank you.”
You want something:
Real: no fancy fluffy business, no pressure
Relaxed: like your relationship, just with more legally binding kisses
Meaningful: and with photos you’ll actually love
Legit: it might be a Sunday arvo at the pub, but it’s also a marriage
Get Married without a Wedding?
For REALS?!
Instead of an expensive venue, awkward vows, and weird speeches…
You rock up to your local pub on Feb 14 - Valentine’s Day - say “I do” with the love of your life, and are back at the bar before your schnitty hits the table.
No wedding tax. No planning stress. Just the good stuff.
You’ll be legally married (yes, with the proper paperwork and all)
You’ll get fun, in-the-moment photos of the kiss, the laughs, the “bloody hell, we’re married” moment with the Coast’s coolest pro snapper, Jacob Hughes
You'll actually enjoy the day
You’ll have one epic story to tell
You’ll never forget your anniversary (cheers, V Day!)

Walk into the pub engaged. Walk out hitched.
LOVE PAGE EXPRESS
$899
All your legal paperwork, prepared for you, so the only admin left on your plate is choosing what to order from the bistro afterwards.
A quick NOIM signing on video. Your Notice of Intended Marriage gets signed with me over a short, friendly video call from wherever you happen to be
Short and sweet legal marriage ceremony with me. I’m a Commonwealth-registered celebrant, so on the day I’ll say the official words, guide you both through your legal vows, and make sure everything is done properly while keeping it warm, relaxed and genuinely fun.
Fun, real, uber professional photos taken candidly during your legal moments (no awkward posing, promise) by Jacob Hughes - with a high-res gallery delivered straight to your inbox the next day.
Once you're married, I register it all with NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages, and order your official marriage certificate on your behalf, to be delivered via registered post. No extra forms and no extra fee… it simply turns up in your letterbox, ready for the fridge, the frame, the bank or your passport application.
No waiting for flowergirls, fake smiling at that creepy uncle, yawning through long 'I Do's' or worrying about your VPL in front of your cousin's cousin
Skip the Celebrant yarning on about your story to you, but give yourselves one hell of a love story to tell your mates instead
One anniversary you’ll never forget!
What you bring: your A Game, two witnesses over 18 (best friends, sisters, your favourite bartender, or that bar fly you found in the pokies), your rings, and your own vows if you’d like to share them.
Just so we’re on the same page… this is a legal marriage, short, sweet and completely sincere, rather than a full scripted ceremony, so there’s no personalised love story, no readings and no rehearsal. Food and drinks aren’t included, so order from the bar and bistro as you normally would. If you’d love the whole heartfelt production with all the storytelling, my Full Page ceremonies are where you’ll find me doing exactly that.
This is for couples who want to make it official, without making a big deal of it. Simples.
Is this you?
You’ve been together forever and want to finally lock it in
You don’t want a big wedding, but still want the moment to matter
You’d rather get married at the pub than a Government office
You love each other but hate admin
You want a coupla great photos, zero pressure, and no boring vows
Not for you if:
You’re after a full-blown, all-the-trimmings wedding
You want a ballroom, 12 bridesmaids and confetti cannons
You want to be centre of attention (we’re keeping this low-key and lovely)
You want to stand through some epic storytelling and love honouring
But we're fancy, we want to have an overseas wedding?
Yes! Make it legal at the pub first, then go all Vogue
Planning a barefoot Fiji wedding with the whole family flying in, a Vegas party with an Elvis on standby, a Positano long lunch for the poshies, or a Lake Como celebration worthy of a Vogue spread?
Lots of couples tying the knot overseas get their legal marriage done here at home first, so the paperwork is Australian, straightforward and sorted, and the day overseas can be all about the people, the party and the view.
Do your legals with me at the pub on Valentine’s Day, get your Australian marriage certificate posted home, then fly off and have the celebration of your lives with nothing left to sign. Your ceremony overseas becomes a celebration of the marriage you already have, so your planner or celebrant over there can focus on making it beautiful instead of chasing foreign paperwork and translations.
(PS: I can share a very wonderful love story and have a passport ready to go. Jus sayin'...)
What’s the process?
It’s super simple (because you’ve got enough on your plate).
1. Choose your slot (we’ll be hitching and snapping from lunch into the arvo)
3. Pay Booking Fee + Lock it in ($249 now, $650 by Jan 13th)
4. Fill in a quick form with your legal info
5. Bec the Celebrant will send you a form to print
6. Meet Bec for a 10-min NOIM signing and quick G’Day (you'll get a video link, call in from anywhere in Australia)
7. Show up on Feb 14, get married, cheers a beer, done!
I’ll handle the paperwork.
You just bring the rings and the love. And say yessssss.
FAQs
(aka "Help! We’ve never done this before!")
Do we need to do anything legal before the day?
Yep, but I make it easy! You’ll fill in a short form, then book a quick NOIM signing with me. I lodge it all. Boom, done.
For reals?
OK, there’s teeny bit more to the legal requirements. You’ve both got to be over 18, not currently married to anyone else, not immediately related, and most importantly… ready to be married to each other foreva! (AKA consenting).
I will talk you through the Notice of Intended Marriage and legal requirements, no worries.
Can we write our own vows?
Sure can! Bring ‘em along or wing it. Just make sure they're shorter than the time it takes Meatloaf to belt out Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Even better: Get your own private Vow Writing Coach, Cupid the Wow Vow Writer and In just 20 minutes, you’ll go from stuck to swoon-worthy.
What if we’re shy / awkward / hate attention?
Perfect. This offer is designed exactly for you. It’s chill, it’s short, and it’s all love and legals with no big audience, no pressure.
How many guests can we bring?
To be honest this will be so quick, they’ll still be at the bar ordering your tray of schooies before you’re hitched. So you’re welcome to have a couple of friends there but this is uber speedy… not a wedding ceremony, but a legal marriage. We do need two legal witnesses to listen and sign (over 18 and sober) who can be friends, or strangers!
What if we want to get a drink / meal after?
That’s the dream. Your ceremony's at the pub. Stay for lunch. Grab a beer. Stay for dinner. Make it your perfect session of love, legals and lager!
Is it really only $899?!
Yep. Because love doesn’t have to cost $20k. Nothing extra either - except your own order at the bar.
Will we get the official marriage certificate?
Yep, I’ll order it for you. No extra admin, no extra fee.
What happens during this marriage 'ceremony'?
1. During your booked slot, I'll have a quick chat to each of you separately to explain and sign the No Legal Impediment to Marriage.
2. Then, in front of your two witnesses and with Jacob taking some ninja-style shots, I'll say the 'Monitum', or the legal wording that must be said.
3. I will ask each of you to repeat the few lines that are the legal vows.
4. You have the option to share your own prepared personal vows and to exchange rings if you'd like to.
5. Then you two, your two witnesses, and I all sign three official marriage certificates.
6. BOOM! You're officially, legally hitched!
Meet your Celebrant
Hey, I’m Bec Page, also known as The Love Page.
Local Celebrant + MC of the Year. Loves a cold beer. Loves a yarn. Thinks everyone deserves to get married if they've found love, even if they don't want a wedding.
I’ve married hundreds of legends just like you: real couples who want something meaningful, some with all the fancy trimmings for a hearty half hour ceremony of celebrating love, and some within a couple of minutes, without the spotlight or fear of having to take out a mortgage to cover the cocktails.
I believe getting married should be easy, joyful, and feel like you, whether you’re in a chapel or next to a beer tap.
And Valentine’s Day at the pub?
That’s not just romantic.
That’s bloody iconic.

Cool cat. Relaxed. Quietly cheeky. Easy going. Fast. Funny. And ridiculously handy with a lens. No wonder he's a national award winning wedding photography legend.
