On the day of your ceremony

We will always endeavour to provide the best possible service to reflect this. We may be performing a number of ceremonies on the same day and would ask for your co-operation to ensure that your ceremony starts punctually.

This enables us to organise and perform your ceremony without the need to hurry and provides us with sufficient time to travel to the next ceremony.

The ceremony is attended by two Registrars one to conduct the ceremony, the other is responsible for ensuring that he legal paperwork is correct.

Prior to your ceremony you will be greeted by the Registrars for a brief meeting. This takes place to ensure that all your information previously given at notice is up to date and correct on the day of the wedding. This is a legal requirement.

Additionally, the Registrar will ask each of you if you wish to include your mother and father’s full name and occupation. This can be your natural, legally adoptive or step-parent. Your step parent must be (or have been) married to your natural or legally adoptive parent.

These details will be recorded on the schedule and on your legal certificate.

If you are late arriving this may affect the amount of time we can devote to you, or even delay your ceremony until later in the day or to an alternative day.

The Registrars will be happy to answer any last minute questions you may have about the ceremony or any of the other arrangements.
