The Love Page Express: Valentine’s Day Pop Up Weddings at the Pub
Valentine's Day. Feb 14, 2026. Bateau Bay Hotel.
Quick legal vows, happy tears, cold beers, great photos… too easy!
A registry-style wedding, but way more fun, local, romantic, and actually you.
Your love language was already the pub, now it’s your wedding venue.
Valentine’s Day just got LEGIT!
You've waited long enough.
You’ve built a life together.
Maybe some kids, definitely some bills, quiet Friday beers, and all the rest.
The only thing missing?
The damn marriage certificate.
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.
Sound like you?
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 an 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’re legally married (yes, with the proper paperwork and all)
You’ve got 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 actually enjoyed the day
You’ve got one epic story to tell
You’ll never forget your anniversary (cheers, V Day!)

| NSW Registry Office | The Love Page Express | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | From $999+ | From $779 |
| Date availability | Limited | Valentine’s Day guaranteed |
| Location | Government office | A bloody great pub |
| Ceremony vibe | Formal, generic | Fun, relaxed, and 100% you |
| Photography | None | Professional snaps included |

| Celebrant | Random from the roster | Bec, legend |
TL;DR:
Registry = boring and overpriced.
This = fun, affordable, local, unforgettable.

2. Pick your package (Standard or Glow-Up)
3. Pay Booking Fee + Lock it in (50% now, 50% 2 weeks before)
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)

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 $779?!
Yep. Because love doesn’t have to cost $20k.
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.
Meet your Photographer
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.
Meet your new best mate Jacob.
He's an incredibly genuine good time guy who captures the most natural and stunning photos of real moments as they unfold, putting everyone in the frame at ease.
