YOUR CHOICES A CEREMONY
All non-religious marriage ceremonies
in the county are conducted by
Northamptonshire County Council’s
Registration Service ceremony team. 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:
We offer two different options
to suit your requirements
and budget:
• 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 marriage
and other celebrations
can take place any time

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.
