Marriage and civil partnerships
View details of venue licences, arrangements and ceremonies.
Once you have chosen your venue and discussed your ceremony time and date with them, you should ensure a registrar is available before booking your venue.
To get married or enter a civil partnership in England and Wales, each person must give legal notice of intention to the registrar in the district (county) where you live. This is known as ‘giving notice’.
