Marriage and civil partnership ceremony options form
Once you've made a booking with us, use this form to let us know the details of your marriage or civil partnership ceremony.
When you should use this form
You do not need to complete this form if your ceremony is taking place in the Register Office or if you are having a ‘Bijou’ ceremony in the Floral Room.
You should only complete and submit this form to us once you have decided on your ceremony content – this includes readings, personal vows and music. We are not permitted to include any religious content.
If you are including personal vows and wish to keep them as a surprise for your partner, you can email them separately to us. Include details of your ceremony date and time.
You need to submit this form at least 2 weeks in advance of your ceremony date.
