Places to marry or civil wedding venues listed on this site are referred to as Approved Wedding Venues or Licensed Wedding Venues.
They have all been granted the license to hold civil marriages and civil ceremonies by the Registration Service and the Local Authority.
This means that as well as holding your wedding reception at the wedding venue, you can also have your civil marriage ceremony there which means a lot less organising of transportation etc. on the day.
You can choose from around 4900 of these Licensed places and Register Offices within England and Wales for your civil wedding without having to set up residence in the registration district in which the Approved Venue is located.
A residency requirement is however still needed in order to give your 'Notice of Marriage'
The site has been developed to offer information on all of those available venues where you can also hold the wedding or other civil ceremony which requires a licence.
As well as being able to hold wedding ceremonies the venues are also able to hold other civil ceremonies, including: civil partnerships, vow renewals and baby naming ceremonies on behalf of the Registration Service and Local Authority.
The wedding venues include amongst others:
Stately homes, Historic buildings, Hotels, Register Offices, Pubs, Restaurants, Sports Centers, Castles, and even more unusual ones such as:
the London Eye, Chester Zoo, Poldark Mine, Pinewood Film Studios, Birmingham, Liverpool or Manchester Football Clubs, Polhawn Fort, Hastings Pier, Cheltenham Racecourse, Centre Parcs in Suffolk, on the H.M.S.Trincomalee or the HMS Belfast, on Concorde at Manchester, or in Willesborough Windmill Kent, providing you with a huge choice and a variety of settings for your wedding.
Although currently civil wedding ceremonies are not allowed to take place outdoors in temporary or moveable structures such as marquees or boats, certain venues do have permanent constructions outdoors i.e. pergolas, gazebos etc. which are licensed.
Currently we have around 4,900 venues listed on the site which are all licensed to hold (Civil marriage, Civil Partnership) ceremonies on their premises.
