Civil Ceremonies

Latest News

We are still dealing with a bit of a backlog due to Covid, and a high volume of requests after all those Christmas proposals. We aim to reply to amendment requests for upcoming ceremonies as a priority within a couple of working days, but dealing with new requests or amendments for ceremonies more than a few months away may take up to a couple of weeks – we apologise for the wait. We will call you as soon as we can, so there’s no need to submit more than one request. Cancellation requests will be completed without further contact unless a refund is due.

To book a new ceremony, amend an existing booking or cancel your ceremony completely, please fill in this form: Ceremony Booking Form

You can find ceremony forms & guidance (for giving us your vow choices/readings etc), as well as revised capacity numbers for our own venues here: More Information – Somerset Registration Services (somersetweddingservice.org.uk)

Follow us on Facebook for regular updates and progress reports.

Marriages & Partnerships

Here at Somerset Registration Service, we officiate at around 3000 civil ceremonies across Somerset and North Somerset every year. We are here to guide you through the process of getting married or forming a civil partnership.

In this section you’ll find our step by step guide to giving notice that will help you through the legal preliminaries, and links to book an appointment online at your local registration office. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to help you plan your wedding or partnership, from what music and readings you can use, to whether you can get married in a garden or include your children in the ceremony.

You’ll also find downloadable guidance for basic and full ceremonies, along with the pre-ceremony check forms for you to let us know what details to include on the day. If you can’t find the answer to your question, just get in touch with the team and we can add it to our guide.
