Why Faithwood Is the Most Beautiful Alternative to the Adelaide Marriage Registry
If you’ve found yourself googling “how to get married in Adelaide without the fuss”, you’re not alone. With the rising cost of living and the desire for meaningful over massive, many couples are forgoing the traditional wedding for something more intimate. But there’s one thing most still want: beauty. Enter Faithwood Chapel — a little white chapel of love, nestled in Adelaide’s west, offering a registry-style wedding reimagined with style, soul, and sunlight.
The Adelaide Marriage Registry: A Practical but Often Uninspiring Start
Adelaide’s official registry office is located within the Births, Deaths and Marriages building. It’s clean, simple, and legal — but let’s be honest — it’s not designed for aesthetics, photography, or feeling particularly romantic. Most registry ceremonies last about 10 minutes, happen under fluorescent lights, and allow limited guest numbers. While it's a helpful government service, it's not built for celebration.
This is where Faithwood comes in.
Faithwood Chapel: Registry-Style Ease, Magazine-Worthy Moments
At Faithwood, we’ve taken the stress-free simplicity of a registry wedding and elevated it. Think polished concrete floors, curved white pews, soaring arched windows, and a backdrop of elegant faux florals. Every couple is welcomed with warmth, offered guidance, and given the freedom to bring their style — from black-tie to boho, suit or jumpsuit, heels or sneakers.
You can legally marry at Faithwood with your celebrant, a small guest list, and no fuss — but with all the visual beauty and emotion you’d expect from a full-scale wedding. We keep things simple, but never sterile. Legal, but still lovely.
Get Legally Married in Style
Unlike the government registry, Faithwood offers packages that include a celebrant, styling, photography, and even champagne service — all in one place. Our most popular packages start from just $2849, making us one of the most affordable wedding venues in South Australia that doesn’t compromise on style.
We believe in poetic ceremonies, meaningful vows, and joyful little details — confetti tosses, Polaroid keepsakes, and curated music playlists — all designed to make your two-hour window feel timeless.
