You need to give notice with the register office at least 16 days before the ceremony. Officials performing Jewish or Quaker marriages will register marriages.
Marriages in all other religions
You need to give notice with the register office at least 16 before the ceremony. Ministers and priests of other religions can be authorised to register marriages.
If the official performing the ceremony is not authorised, either a Registrar must attend the religious ceremony or you need to have separate religious and civil ceremonies.
Wedding vows
You must exchange some formal wording if you’re getting married.
Discuss any other wording you want in the ceremony with the person conducting the wedding.
You don’t need to exchange vows for a civil partnership, but you can do so if you wish.
Civil ceremonies can include readings, songs or music, but must not include anything that’s religious - eg hymns or readings from the Bible.
You will need to have at least 2 witnesses at the ceremony.
Signing the register
You, your partner and your 2 witnesses must sign the marriage register or civil partnership document.
Cost of registering a marriage or civil partnership
You will have to pay a fee to register the marriage or civil partnership.
This is £45 if you have the ceremony at a register office, but may be more at other venues. Ask the registrar or religious minister for details.
The marriage or civil partnership certificate costs £4 on the day of the event or £7 after. You may need a copy to prove your marital status in the future.
