The Most Beautiful Registry Wedding in Adelaide (That’s Not the Registry)

A modern, elegant alternative to the courthouse wedding experience

If you’ve been Googling “how to get married at the Adelaide registry” or “civil ceremony South Australia”, you’re not alone. Thousands of couples each year search for a simple, legal, low-fuss way to tie the knot - but what if it could also be breathtaking?

Enter Faithwood Chapel - Adelaide’s most romantic alternative to the traditional registry office wedding.

This is not a courtroom. This is not a waiting room. This is not fluorescent lighting or beige tiles.
This is vaulted ceilings and sunlight pouring through nine metres of arched windows.
This is you, your love, and twenty of your favourite people. This is the moment you say “I do” - and actually feel it.

Registry weddings made beautiful

We understand the appeal of the South Australian Births, Deaths and Marriages registry for its simplicity and price. But many couples feel underwhelmed by the experience - rushed, impersonal, or lacking in warmth.

At Faithwood Chapel, we offer everything the registry does - the legal ceremony, a licensed celebrant, and ease - but we do it with grace, light, and soul.

Your ceremony here still takes just two hours. But those two hours are curated, photographed, and full of memory-making moments. From Polaroids to confetti showers, every element is designed to make it feel special - without the hefty price tag.

For couples who know what matters

Whether you’re choosing a micro-wedding by design or seeking a more private path to matrimony, we see you. We’re a venue built for:

  • Couples who want a beautiful wedding without the big fuss

  • Queer couples looking for safety, joy and celebration

  • Neurodivergent couples who need gentleness and clarity

  • Those re-marrying, blending families or eloping in secret

  • Anyone who values style, story and soul over spectacle

This is a smarter way to get married. It’s still simple - just not stripped of magic.

Effortless from start to finish

Every package at Faithwood includes a wedding ceremony expert (often our founder, Jewel) who hosts and runs the day with warmth and precision. We can match you with one of our trusted celebrants, file the paperwork, style the chapel, and even pour the champagne. All you need to do is arrive, breathe, and be present.

This is wedding planning made effortless. Your chapel is temperate, indoor, private. We welcome love in all its forms and we honour your choice to do this your way.

Skip the courthouse. Keep the ease. Add the beauty.

If you’re thinking about a registry wedding in Adelaide but want something more meaningful, more photogenic, and more you - Faithwood Chapel is here.

Our most loved package, Love Fool, starts from $2849 and includes your celebrant, your styling, and your sacred moment.

Let’s marry you beautifully.
