For Immediate Release – 9 February 2010
VALENTINE’S DAY, THE MOST LOVEABLE DAY OF
THE YEAR
For over 150 years couples have been getting married at the NSW Registry of Births
Deaths & Marriages, and this Valentine’s Day will be another full house.
On 14 February, the Registry will perform 68 marriage ceremonies for couples. The
first ceremony will start at 9:00am with the last ceremony in the evening at 7.30pm.
With the cost of getting married continually rising, the Registry remains an affordable
option. “We are a one stop shop. We provide all the ceremony planning, the venue,
marriage officer and even the vows”, said Greg Curry, Registrar, NSW Registry of
Births Deaths & Marriages.
The Registry is the largest single provider of civil marriages in NSW. In 2009, the
Registry performed over 4,500 marriage ceremonies.
“Registry marriages are increasingly popular among couples. This is because we
offer an elegant and inexpensive way to celebrate this important event”, continued Mr
Curry.
The Registry conducts marriages Monday to Friday across their four locations at
Chippendale, Parramatta, Newcastle and Wollongong. The Sydney and Parramatta
Registry offices also conduct marriages on weekends. Registry office marriages start
from $330.
