You know what you want.
You want to get married.
No frills, no fuss.

About

So. You want to get married.
What you don’t want is 100 people, the dress, the suit, the flowers, the tradition. The stuff.

What if we told you, you could grab a tight crew and cut to the chase. You and 10 of your favourite peeps.

You could slide into one of Newcastle’s coolest bars. (So cool it’s below street-level. You might even say it’s UNDERGROUND.)

You could grab a rad celebrant to wrangle the legal stuff, a sick photographer to take the snaps and imbibe some quality refreshments slung by legendary barkeeps.

You could come in, have a ball, wet your whistle and tumble out half an hour later, married AF.

Wanna do it?

Give us a holler.

FAQs

Where is Uptowns?

If you’re kind of old and local, we’ll just say downstairs at the old Merc.

If you’re not that old, 23 Watt St Newcastle.

This idea is sick! Can I get married this afternoon?!

Long story, short – you can’t.

Any marriage in Australia is subject to the submission of a Notice of Intended Marriage to the celebrant, 1 (one) month before the wedding ceremony day.

That’s just the way it’s gotta be, little darlin’.

I’ve got a couple of champion kids, they can come, yeah?

Kids are welcome in Uptowns. They can enjoy a soft drink or two and you can enjoy your ‘big kid drinks’.

How personalised will the ceremony be?

This is a discussion between you and Monty or Kez.

Unless you tell us otherwise, the ceremony won’t be as bland as a registry wedding, but it won’t be a half-hour long telling of your love story.

More like a edited highlights package, told over 10 minutes or so.

Is this available all day, every day?

As a rule, we’re looking to get you hitched during these hours.

Mondays: 11:30am – 4:30pm
Tuesdays: 11:30am – 4:30pm
Wednesdays: 11:30am – 4:30pm
Thursdays: 11:30am – 4:30pm
Fridays: 11:30am – 4:30pm

Will all of the photos be inside Uptowns?

This is a discussion for you and Dea from Little Black Bow Photography, but generally speaking shots will be inside the venue and the vicinity of the venue.

Can I add extra guests?

Packages are based on the maximum guests as specified. We offer elopement packages so try and keep it simple. Additional guests will be $100 per head. Max of 20 guests in total.

We want to kick on afterwards at Uptowns. Is this OK?

It very well might be!

It’s not included in the package, but Uptowns are totally down to chat about it.

Don’t see your question here?
