Do you manage or own a venue? Have you considered licensing your venue to hold marriage and civil partnership ceremonies?

Licensing a building for civil marriage & partnership ceremonies

The ceremony venue is one of the most important decisions a couple will make, they will travel far and wide to ensure they have picked the right one. Many couples are looking for a venue with a difference, your venue could be exactly what they are looking for.

Where can ceremonies take place?

Civil marriages and partnerships must take place in a permanent structure that is open to the public and non-religious in nature.

This includes restaurants, hotels, museums, theatres, stately homes, landmarks, historical buildings and totally unique venues.
