CouncilCivil marriage ceremonies
If you wish to marry by civil ceremony at a register office or other building approved for civil marriage, you should first contact the superintendent registrar for the district where you wish to marry.
You may marry at any register office or approved place of your choice in England or Wales. However, for a marriage in approved premises, you will also need to make arrangements at the venue in question.
In addition you will both need to personally give a formal notice of marriage to the superintendent registrar of the district(s) where you live.
