LGBT Weddings
Gay, Lesbian, Same Sex or just LGBT weddings have been legal in South Africa since 2006. As of early 2019 there are approximately 180 registered Civil Union Marriage Officers.
According to Statistics South Africa same sex marriage registrations comprise just 1% of all weddings. Having said that though, while the overall number of weddings have reduced since 2013 the overall number of Civil Unions have increased over the same time period.
The numbers will only increase as more LGBT weddings take place where more people are exposed to them and it becomes a routine or a not unusual occurrence.
In 2017 and 2018 we solemnized around 5% of all same sex weddings in the Gauteng province. We view this as a specialty and we take great pride celebrating weddings for people of all races, cultures, religions and orientation. Two people getting married is always a wonderful thing!
