A marriage ceremony can take place at the Medway Register Office or at any register office in England or Wales. Civil ceremonies can also take place at any of the other venues which have been licensed (approved premises). There are many in Medway and they offer a considerable variety of buildings and rooms.
For register office weddings, a couple should first contact the office concerned to arrange a date and time. For other premises, they should contact the venue to make a booking and then contact the register office afterwards.
Couples who have a civil wedding ceremony within Medway have the opportunity to make many choices about the content of their ceremony and are able to choose such things as which vows, promises and additional words are used, as well as choosing music and including poetry and readings if they wish.
If someone is too ill to attend one of the premises or if they are a detained person, they should contact the register office for advice.
Marriage ceremonies can take place in churches or other religious buildings and the first contact should be with the minister or responsible person at the church or religious building where the wedding is to take place.
