way... A wedding with a difference? Our Wedding day celebration package gives you additional freedoms over that of a traditional civil ceremony to design your day to be more in tune with modern thinking and your lifestyle choices. The main benefit of this ceremony package is that your celebration ceremony can take place anywhere you choose,* for example under a marquee in a favourite garden, under the stars, or in your local car park! You have the chance to marry in a place that has a special meaning to you. The wedding day celebration package includes the celebration with family, friends and guests and the legal formalities. If you want something unique and different that will be remembered by everyone, this could be just what you are looking for. Terms and Conditions How it works • Your legal marriage must take place in our office at least 2 weeks before your celebration ceremony. Your celebration ceremony cannot take place without the legal process being completed in advance You still need to complete the legal formalities, however we can help you to navigate through the legal processes, and leave you free to concentrate on your celebratory ceremony. • The chosen celebration ceremony location must have had a successful health and safety inspection by the Registration Service prior to your legal office registration. The cost for this is included in the package price • Customers must have an alternative location with a roof in case of inclement weather conditions. We will agree this during the health and safety inspection • Our Ceremony Officer has the final say on inclement weather conditions and using your alternative location • Unrestricted parking (clear access and exit) to be provided for the Ceremony Officers attending the ceremony to enable them to attend other ceremonies without restrictions • Public liability insurance for your chosen ceremony venue needs to be secured by you prior to your legal office registration. (Proof of liability cover to be reviewed during the health and safety inspection) • All other terms and conditions of the Registration Service also apply. In this case the legal marriage takes place in the registrar’s office with just yourselves and 2 witnesses, and you then have the celebration later on with your family, friends and guests, just where you want it and how you want it. Alternatively you can opt to have your legal ceremony directly after your celebration ceremony provided the venue you choose has a licensed room on site. The benefit Together we design your ceremony. You choose the content and design, we look after the legal stuff and together we deliver your ceremony how you want it. Please see our fees list online for the package price. *Subject to health and safety inspection if the venue isn’t currently licensed for marriages and civil partnerships.
