Civil Weddings
A civil wedding is for those who want to get married but who are not religious or where the couple are from different religious backgrounds.
This type of wedding means that the service will not include any religious element, it is purely a legal ceremony. However, you can still personalise the ceremony with your own readings or vows if you wish.
What you need to know about Civil Cermonies?
- You need to give notice of your marriage in person to the superintendent at the registry office 16 days prior to the commencement of your wedding.
- You will be required to present the registry office with official documentation proving who you are and if you have been divorce evidence to document this.
- If you are not getting married at the registry office you will need to collect your certificate of authority to get married and present it to the person solemnizing your marriage.
- The ceremony is conducted by a superintendent registrar, instead of a religious official.
- The service will last between 10 and 30 minutes, dependant upon the amount of readings or vows that you have chosen.
- You must make sure that the venue which you wish to get married at is authorised and approved for a civil marriage.
- They can only take place indoors !
How to plan your civil wedding?
The main points you need to watch out for are:
- You are advised to book both the registrar and venue a far in advance as possible to ensure you get the date you want.
- Check the venue for which you want to get married at is authorised for weddings.
- Register offices and some venues will have a maximum number of people it can hold, so you will need to make advanced decisions on who you will invite to the ceremony and who to the reception.
- You can have your own vows and readings in addition to the statuary words that make your marriage legal, so you may want to start planning and choosing these as soon as possible.
The Venues
At a civil wedding there are various choices of where you can tie the knot. It does not have to be a register office. You can choose anywhere to suit you and your partners taste as long as it has a civil licence. This means that you can choose somewhere more elegant and personal than a register office.
Some ideas of where you could hold your wedding are;
