Don't think so. Before getting married you have to register your intention - and I think that involves something like 3 months' notice regardless of whether you get married in one of the registry offices, one of the other licensed locations (e.g. church - not any church, mind you, as the specific premises still needs to be licensed - or one of the recently-opened wedding 'chapels'), or anywhere else for which you have obtained permission. You can get the details from the Immigration Detp website at:

You must give notice of marriage first and the notice must be posted for at least 15 days before a marriage can take place - if no objection is received after the period of 15 clear days, the marriage may take place. This applies whether you marry in a registry or with a civil celebrant.

yeah...the procedure here is till complicated. Flying to Bali and get it done in a fast but very romantic way....

But Bali is only for religious ceremonies and not for folks without an imaginary friend. Plus you have to get a translation of the certificate. Of course that requirement is for legal marriages only, it's possible to have lovely, romantic non-legal ceremonies.
