Licensing A Venue For Marriages And Civil Partnerships

If you want to hold weddings and civil partnerships in your premises, you must be a commercial business

The grant of approval will be valid for a minimum of 3 years. You can apply to renew your grant of approval if it expires in less than a year.

Conditions

You need to identify a specific room or rooms where weddings or civil partnerships will take place. This must be part of the building - not in the open air or under a marquee.
We must be happy that the premises are 'seemly and dignified' and that they will be regularly available for marriages or civil partnerships.
