Approved
Ceremonies in
venues
This will follow a similar format to
ceremonies in a Register Office.
Two Registration Officers will attend
your ceremony. One Registration
Officer is responsible for ensuring that
all the information entered into the
marriage register is correct on the day.
He or she will see you and your partner
in private to check the details which will
be recorded in the register and on your
marriage certificate. You may indicate
whether you wish to be seen together
or separately.
The second Registration Officer will
be conducting the ceremony. Both
Registration Officers will be happy to
answer any last minute questions you
may have about the ceremony.
The fee for a ceremony in an Approved
Venue is due not less than four weeks
before the day of your ceremony.
Approved Venues often provide the
perfect setting, including stately
homes, historic buildings and first
class hotels. They may offer various
arrangements for your wedding party
and the ceremony may be as simple or
as complex as you wish.

Many of the buildings are set amidst
landscapes and beautiful gardens in
which to have your photographs taken.
The events organiser in each of the
venues will be delighted to discuss the
various arrangements that can be made
to make your day extra special.
To arrange a wedding at an Approved
Venue, you must first contact the venue
of your choice to make a provisional
arrangement. Then contact the
Register Office to ensure that the
Registration Officers are able to attend
your marriage on the date and time of
your choice. Details of your notice of
marriage can be given to you at that
time.
