Ceremonies are conducted in the Register Office in
Weston-super-Mare on a Monday to Saturday.
The Register Office Room is a first floor office
where couples can be married or form a civil partnership in
the presence of their two witnesses only.
If you wish to invite additional guests you should book the
Ceremony Rooms on the ground floor.
Ceremonies can be booked for Monday to Friday at these
times:
On a Saturday, ceremonies can be booked for:
- 10.20am
- 11am
- 11.40am
- 12.20pm
- 1pm.
Bookings are accepted up to a year in advance.
We ask you to arrive 15 minutes before the ceremony so that the
details you gave
at
Notice of Marriage can be checked for accuracy.
The ceremony/partnership formation takes around 15 minutes.
If you wish to take photographs with your witnesses in the
courtyard gardens afterwards you are welcome to do so.
Unfortunately we cannot accommodate music, readings or photography
in a register office ceremony.
Please be aware that there is no lift to the first floor so if
you become unable to reach the Register Office room after having
given notice, you would have to give a fresh notice before
your marriage/civil partnership could take place in another room or
building.
If either party to a proposed marriage/civil partnership or
either of the proposed witnesses is registered disabled and
cannot access the first floor, the fee for use of the ground
floor Ceremony Rooms is reduced to £40. In these circumstances
Notice should be given for 'Ceremony Rooms, 41 Boulevard,
Weston-super-Mare' and the booking should be discussed with the
Superitendent Registrar. Only the couple and their witnesses may
attend the ceremony at the concessionary fee.
