Booking your ceremony

To book your ceremony you will need to consider which type of ceremony you would like to choose.

Once you've decided where and when your ceremony will occur, you must decide if you would like a civil marriage or civil partnership. All our ceremonies can be either a civil marriage or a civil partnership.

A civil marriage is for both opposite-sex and same-sex couples and includes a legal declaration and contracting vows you need to say to solemnise your marriage.

A civil partnership is also for both opposite-sex couples and same-sex couples, however, you do not need to say vows. It is formed when the couple signs a civil partnership document.

You can use our online service to book a marriage or civil partnership ceremony.

We recommend that you confirm and agree your ceremony plans with friends and family before booking a date.
