How to book your Civil Ceremony

1. For your ceremony to take place at Wrag Barn, you must have two registration officers present.  You may provisionally book their attendance up to 18 months prior to your ceremony date.
2. The Senior Registration Officer will complete an advanced booking form showing details of yourselves, your address and the venue of your ceremony.
3. On making a provisional booking the Senior Registration Officer will inform you of the date when you must give LEGAL notice of the ceremony and to whom.

Please remember that without this booking your Wedding cannot take place.

1. When you attend the registration office to book your marriage you will have to pay a fee for giving notice.  There will be another fee for the attendance of the registrars payable to the Swindon Registration Office one month before the ceremony.
2. According to the law there cannot be a religious ceremony or blessing related to the civil ceremony on the premises.
3. Only a civil, non-religious ceremony can be permitted by the Senior Registration Officer.  Any music, readings, words or performances, which form any part of the ceremony, must be secular.  The content of this ceremony must be agreed in advance with the Senior Registration Officer who will be attending the ceremony.
4. Any right of copyright for the music, reading etc permitted at the ceremony are a matter  for the holder of approval.

It is your responsibility to ensure that all legal preliminaries to your ceremony are completed and that registration officers are available to conduct your ceremony.  Neither this establishment nor anyone else can do this for you. 

Swindon Registrars are happy to discuss any additions/extras you would like for your ceremony, for example writing your own vows.
