Marriage

If you wish to get married you can have a civil or religious civil ceremony within North Somerset.

The Superintendent Registrar can conduct Civil Marriage Ceremonies at the Register Office in Weston-super-Mare or other approved premises across the district.

Before a civil marriage can take place you must give formal Notice of Marriage via an appointment at the Register Office in the district where you live.

Fees are payable for giving Notice of Marriage and the attendance of a Registrar at a ceremony.

However, if you're planning to marry in the Church of England you may not have to give Notice of Marriage and should seek your vicar's advice. You can find your nearest Church of England by seaching the Church of England database. Churches of other denominations are included in our list of premises licenced for marriage.
