What is

Grampians Love Registry?

Grampians Love Registry is a collaborative venture between Kate from Wirreanda Farm and Becky from Marry Me Becky B, designed to offer a unique, fuss-free registry-style wedding experience in country Victoria.

The concept behind Grampians Love Registry is to blend the secluded, picturesque, country charm of Wirreanda Farm and with the modern, funky, and non-traditional vibes of Marry Me Becky B, offering an alternative to traditional wedding ceremonies. It caters to couples seeking a quick, no-fuss, and affordable wedding experience that just want to be hitched without fuss.

This service focuses on an express registry style ceremony, including the 124 legal words and vows required by law along with a brief Marry Me Becky B style ceremony, providing an efficient yet memorable way for couples to officially tie the knot in a beautiful rural setting. This approach appeals to couples who prefer a low-key, no BS celebration that's both simple and straightforward.

Becky and Kate were inspired to start Grampians Love Registry to bring the convenience and professionalism of a city-based registry office to the Grampians in a first for rural Victoria. Their vision was to create a service that was not only easy and affordable but also packs personality, which is where Miss Mabel, our resident tiny chapel comes in.

Miss Mabel (Greek for Lovable) is Victoria‘s only ‘tiny chapel‘ which is exclusive to Wirreanda Farm and she has a whole personality of her own. She‘s intimate, cute, private but also provides the most exclusive uninterrupted views of the Grampians. It was a no brainer that she was the perfect space to offer this type of service.

Essentially, Kate & Becky‘s goal is to fill a niche in the wedding market by offering an alternative that combines the simplicity and affordability of a city registry office with the personalised, scenic charm of the country.
