PLEASE NOTE
Wed By Jaco & Team’s designated Marriage Officers solemnise marriages under the Marriage Act 25 of 1961, subject to the applicable legal and Home Affairs requirements.
The team is not designated under the Civil Union Act 17 of 2006 and therefore does not solemnise civil unions under that Act.
