Marriage Law
The marriage law of England and Wales is very specific and restrictive.
Currently the law states that a marriage ceremony:
May only take place between the hours of 8a.m. and 6p.m.
The legal declarations may only be officiated by a Minister of Religion, an appointed ‘responsible’ person for a non conformist religion, or a Superintendent Registrar for a secular ceremony
Must take place in a room that has been approved and licensed accordingly
It is not legally possible to marry outdoors (beach, garden or forest).
The structure must be permanent and immovable ( no moving boats, aircraft, hot air balloons or marquees etc).
There can be no religious element at all in a secular ceremony.
My Service will overcome these obstacles.
After you have completed the legal formalities beforehand, you are free to celebrate the occasion with a ceremony perfectly designed to your own requirements.
Baby Naming and Child Welcoming
The names shown on a birth certificate cannot be changed as a result of a Baby Naming of Child Welcoming Ceremony.
There are provisions within law to allow changes under certain exceptional circumstances, please seek full advice from a Register Office.
It is quite acceptable to use a name that is not shown on your birth certificate and there are facilities within law to change your name by means of:
Deed Poll,
Statutory Declaration
By usage.
Please seek full advice from Citizens Advice Bureau, Solicitor or contact your
Registry Office
