Types of ceremony we offer
Congratulations on your forthcoming marriage or civil partnership!
Nottinghamshire Registration Service offer civil marriages and civil partnerships and whether you choose a simple or more personalised ceremony, either at one of our registration offices or at any of our approved venue premises, we will guide you through proceedings from start to finish.
We offer four types of ceremony for both civil marriages and civil partnerships: statutory, standard, enhanced and bespoke. You can find out more about each of these in the drop-down menu below..
Plan your ceremony with us
We can help you to organise the finer details of your special day at a ceremony rehearsal discussion. Many couples choose to book an appointment for this discussion around one to two weeks before their ceremony, and this can be done at one of our registration offices. Please note that a ceremony rehearsal discussion is not compulsory.
Ceremony rehearsal discussion
For a small fee, the discussion will cover:
- time of arrival
- the pre-ceremony interview (including fee for certificates)
- seating arrangements
- entrance of your wedding party into the ceremony room
- music
- legal wording (declaration and contracting words)
- readings
- witnesses
- signing of the schedule
- photographs and filming
- your exit from the room
If time is precious and it's difficult for both of you to attend in person, please ask about booking a virtual meeting via Microsoft Teams.
If you would like to book a ceremony rehearsal discussion, contact us.
