This form goes to the publisher of yarravalleywedding.com.au. It is the right place if you have a question about using the guides, you want to talk about advertising, or you have found a public fact we should correct.
It is the wrong place if you need a date held at a cellar door, a celebrant to complete your Notice of Intended Marriage, or a last-minute taxi in Healesville. Those jobs belong to current operators and, for the legal notice, to an authorised celebrant following Attorney-General’s Department instructions.
What to include
A useful message names:
- Whether you are marrying, supplying, or correcting
- The month or season you have in mind, if relevant
- The guest scale, even as a range
- The decision you are stuck on (setting, law, travel, a paragraph on a page)
You do not need to send a full guest list. You should not send identity documents for a marriage notice here. Those belong with your celebrant.
Privacy and expectations
Write as if a human will read the message, because one will. Do not send the form empty to “test” it. If the form fails, use the email address shown in the error state.
The guides remain free to read: home, venues, winery receptions, celebrants, and the 12-month plan. The form is for the leftover questions those pages cannot see.
Planning questions we can and cannot answer
We can help you find the right hub. If you write “we have 80 guests, we want one site, we are looking at autumn, and we do not know whether a winery is practical”, we can point you to the winery and venue questions and the season note in the planning guide. We can remind you that the Notice of Intended Marriage belongs on the calendar with the Attorney-General’s Department’s one-month minimum and eighteen-month maximum.
We cannot tell you that a named estate is free on a Saturday. We cannot lodge your notice. We cannot dispatch a car to Lilydale. We cannot settle a family argument about speeches. We will not invent a price “so you have a number”. If a question requires a current operator, the useful reply is the list of things to ask that operator.
If you are writing from grief or from a plan that has fallen over, say what you need in ordinary words. We will answer as publishers of a guide, not as a venue manager, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Advertising and press
Choose the advertising topic if you are a supplier. Read advertise with us first so you know there is no live rate card on this site. If you are a journalist or researcher, say what you are checking; we would rather send you to the Department’s marriage page than watch a stale claim travel again.
Accessibility of this form
The fields are labelled. Name, email, topic and message are enough. If the form cannot send, the page will say so and offer the publisher email. Please do not submit empty tests; they create the same work as a real message without helping anyone.
If you prefer not to use a form at all, the planning library is still open. Start at the home page and move through the hubs in the order the planning guide suggests: setting, season, law, then the rest. The valley is easier when the first email you send is to the right kind of person — and sometimes that person is not us.
A useful subject line helps: “planning — autumn, 80 guests” or “correction — Notice of Intended Marriage window” or “supplier enquiry”. Vague subjects slow the reply. Specific ones let us open the right hub beside your message.
Do not attach identity documents, passports or a completed Notice of Intended Marriage. Those belong with an authorised celebrant. If your question is legal, ask us only where the public rule lives — then take the form to the person who can solemnise the marriage.
A short map of who to write to instead
- An authorised celebrant, for the Notice of Intended Marriage and the ceremony itself.
- The property, for exclusive use, kitchens, noise and wet weather.
- A current photographer, caterer, florist or hire company, for the work those hubs describe.
- The Attorney-General’s Department’s published marriage pages, for the national legal outline.
We are the publisher of the map, not a stop on the wedding day. If that is clear before you press send, the message is usually easy to answer.
If you are writing on behalf of a couple, say so, and say whether they have seen the message. You do not need permission to ask a business the questions on these hubs. Thank you for reading that far before sending.
