What conditions apply to getting married at an approved venue
The legal requirements for getting married at an approved venue are the same as those for getting married at a register office, but the attendance of a Registrar also needs to be arranged. To arrange a wedding at an approved premises, you must first get in touch with the venue to make a provisional booking. You should then contact the register office in the district where the premises is located to ensure that the Registration Officer can attend your wedding. Notice of your marriage is given at the register office in the district(s) where you live, not where the venue is situated (unless of course you live in the same district). Once you have been issued with your Marriage Authority this should be forwarded to the Superintendent Registrar in the registration district covering your venue for their records. Notice can be given up to twelve months before your wedding date and the earlier you plan the more chance you have of getting your chosen date and venue. In addition to the standard fees for a civil wedding there is a further fee payable to the Registrar for getting married at approved premises. Licensed venues have a greater flexibility than register offices regarding the times that ceremonies can be held. The available times are between 8am and 6pm on any day but this will be down to the individual venue. Before you view any premises take time to think about what you want and make a list of questions to ask and take a notebook with you when visiting venues for jotting down any relevant points.
