Marriage and civil partnership ceremony content 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 should only use this form once you have booked your ceremony.

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 want to keep them a surprise for your partner, you can email them to us separately. Include details of your ceremony date and time.

You need to submit this form at least 2 weeks in advance of your ceremony date. 

How to use this form

Use this form to share details about your marriage or civil partnership ceremony.

You can tell us:

  • your name and contact details
  • the names of your witnesses
  • other special people involved in your ceremony
  • how you prefer to make your entrance
  • your choice of declarations or promises
  • your choice of music during your ceremony
  • if you are using rings, how these will be presented
  • any readings
  • any other details you would like to include

If you need help filling in this form, or want to send us your personal vows privately, send an email to the Ceremonies Team.
