Marriage
YOUR CHOICES
All non-religious marriage ceremonies in the county are conducted by Northamptonshire County Council’s
Registration Service ceremony team. We offer two different options to suit your requirements and budget:
A CEREMONY
A ceremony is designed for you when the celebratory
requirements outweigh all other considerations.
A ceremony is ideal if you want a more bespoke and glamorous
celebration for yourselves, family members and your guests.
The ceremony includes:
• An extensive choice of Registration Office ceremony rooms or
any of the Approved Venues across Northamptonshire
• Personalised ceremony content
• Ceremony planning facility
• Choices of readings and additional promises
• Music, either from our Registration Service standard collection
or from your own favourite playlist of meaningful and
memorable music
• Rings handed to the Registrar during the ceremony by the
ring bearer  
• Your event will last up to 60 minutes. This includes your pre-
marriage interview and ceremony.
There is a wide choice of ceremony availability for marriages
covering weekdays, weekends, locations and times.
A REGISTRATION
A registration is a basic legal marriage. This is suitable for you
where budget could be a major consideration or if you would
like a more intimate ceremony just for yourselves and two adult
witnesses but no additional guests.
The registration is delivered with the same high degree of
solemnity and dignity as with all of our services and focused on
the legal requirements of a marriage.
BOOKING
A marriage and other celebrations can take
place any time between 07:00 and 22:00
subject to accommodation availability.
Please visit our website for more information.
The marriage registration takes place in a small registration
room, where computers and files are in situ. Guests will be
limited to two witnesses only. Registrations are only available
on weekdays and will last up to 30 minutes.
