When you have confirmed the date and booked the
Registrar, you will need to confirm your wedding with us and pay
a deposit of £500. Failure to do this within 14 days of making
the provisional booking will result in your booking being
released.
You will need to give notice of marriage to the
SR of the district you live in. This will then be displayed for
a number of weeks in order to give people an opportunity to see
your intentions to marry.
The fee for the attendance of the registration
staff has been set by the Council and must be paid to the SR by
the date set by them.
Without presence of the SR and a Registrar there
can be no marriage and any arrangements for the use of the
premises depend entirely on their availability. It is therefore
essential that you make an advance booking with the SR for
his/her attendance at the proposed marriage.
The content of your ceremony must meet the
approval of the SR. Once agreed by the SR no alterations to the
content of your ceremony can be made without new approval of the
SR.
You are required to provide two witnesses at
your wedding. Please make sure they make themselves known to the
SR on the day.
Your appointment time is the time of the
ceremony. Please note you are required to be interviewed before
the ceremony so please arrive at least 20 minutes before to
allow for this.
Whilst every effort is made to abide by the
start time of the ceremony, circumstances beyond our control
could delay the start time of the ceremony.
