Everyone’s ceremony is special and our staff will help to make your day a very happy and enjoyable occasion for you, your family and your friends. We look forward to helping you make your wedding ceremony very special. Gone are the days when a civil marriage meant a simple ceremony held in front of a desk. The options available enable you to have a civil ceremony ranging from a simple affair with just two witnesses to having a large wedding party at one of our approved venues or the Register Office of your choice. This guide has been produced to provide information to help you plan your day and answer many of the questions commonly asked about all aspects of arranging the ceremony.

Alternatively, you can include music which is special to you as a couple or a piece of poetry may be read. Neither must be religious in nature. In a civil ceremony there are certain words prescribed by law, which you must say, known as declaratory and contracting words. However, there are various ways of personalising your wedding ceremony. Additional vows may be added after the contractual words and a selection of music is available at the offices if you wish. Our staff know how to make your day really special, priding themselves on making each wedding a unique experience to treasure. Please feel free to discuss any ideas of your own with the Superintendent Registrar prior to your wedding day. s e v e n www.carolkershaw.co.uk www.paulmortimerphotography.com www.tinaluke.co.uk You must provide witnesses to the marriage, a minimum of two, a maximum of four, who may be either relatives or friends. They should be over the age of 16, able to understand English and the significance of the ceremony they are witnessing. They will be asked to sign the marriage register at the end of the ceremony. Please note: On this special day please help us and other couples who are being married on the same day by arriving at the Register Office at least twenty minutes before the ceremony, as the Registration Service staff will often need to attend other ceremonies after your wedding. Should the services of an interpreter be required, please contact the Superintendent Registrar of the district where the marriage is to take place for advice. A booklet containing a collection of verse and music is available at our Register Offices (£3.50). www.abbynelson.co.uk e i g h t c u m b r i a a n d t h e l a k e s a s p e c i a l www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk p l a c e f o r y o u r w e d d i n g your wedding at an approved venue Cumbria Registration Service offer the opportunity to book a Registrar’s services more than a year ahead. If you wish to book your wedding more than 12 months in advance there is a non-refundable advanced booking fee of £50.00 to secure your preferred date. This fee is in addition to the standard wedding fees payable to the Registrar, and couples must still give notice within twelve months of the ceremony in the usual way. www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk In Cumbria, approved venues include stately homes, historic buildings and first class hotels which provide charming settings for civil weddings. Please note: Marriages are not allowed to take place outdoors, in temporary or moveable structures such as marquees and boats but certain venues do have permanent constructions outdoors i.e. pergolas, gazebos etc. which are licensed. Currently the law does not allow for ceremonies to take place in private houses. All booking are subject to the appropriate legal preliminaries being completed. Bookings can only be made up to 24 months in advance. Weddings can take place at any time Monday to Sunday from 8.00am until 6.00pm. Ceremonies at approved venues will follow a similar format to those in the Register Offices. To arrange a wedding at an approved venue you must first contact the premises of your choice to make provisional arrangements. You must then contact the Register Office to ensure that the Registration Officers are able to attend your marriage on that date and time. Details of formal notice of marriage can be given to you at that time. Many of our approved venues are set amidst landscaped and beautiful gardens in which to have your photographs taken. The wedding co-ordinator at an approved venue will be delighted to discuss various arrangements that can be made to make your day really special. All civil marriages, either in a Register Office or approved venues, are arranged through the Registration Service that is responsible for the area in which you are to marry. However, it is the responsibility of the couple to book the approved venue. A list of approved venues are listed from page 27 onwards, and you could also visit our website at www.cumbria.gov.uk/registration/ www.karenjonesphotography.biz n i n e www.karenjonesphotography.biz www.thegranarystudio.com Cumbria offers some of the best venues in the whole of the country. www.paulmortimerphotography.com www.carolkershaw.co.uk t e n c u m b r i a a n d t h e l a k e s a s p e c i a l giving notice p l a c e f o r y o u r w e d d i n g If your parents were married and your mother was not British then we also need to see their marriage certificate. If your parents were not married at the time of your birth you must provide documents from your mother from whom your nationality would be taken. If either of you are under 18, the Registrar will give you forms that you must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. Whilst you can book your wedding ceremony more than a year in advance, your notice of intent to marry can only be completed within one year of the wedding and no later than 17 days prior to the ceremony. Once the formal notice of intent has been completed, the document will be publicly displayed at the Register Office for 15 clear days. This does not include the day you gave notice or the earliest day on which you can be married. before you can marry, there are certain legal formalities that need to to be taken care of… The main requirement is for the couple to give notice. Giving notice, or notice of intent, means making a legal declaration that you are both free to marry each other, and you will need to provide certain documents when doing so. Although you may have a civil wedding in any district within England and Wales, you must give notice to the Registrar in the district where you live. However, for administrative purposes we recommend you allow a minimum of 6 weeks. The minimum period between giving notice and getting married must be 17 clear days. The bride and groom must both give notice and this must be done in person at the appropriate Register Office. In general, notice must be given in the district where you live. If both bride and groom live in the same district a joint appointment should be made with your local office. If you live in separate districts, but still within England or Wales then you should make individual appointments with your local Register Office, if possible around the same date. You must be resident in the district where you give notice for the preceding eight days prior to the appointment. When you wish to give formal notice you will need to make an appointment at the appropriate office and it will take approximately half an hour to an hour to complete. If you wish to get married in a district where you do not live, you will need to contact both the venue and the Registrar of that district to make arrangements, and agree the date and time of your ceremony. Once you have done this you can then give your notice to marry to the Registrar in the district where you live. The Registrar will ask questions about you and your partner. These questions include things like your full names, addresses, dates of birth, whether you have been married before, your occupation and your nationalities. The Registrar will tell you when your marriage authority has been issued. If you are marrying in another district, you will need to take, or have delivered, the certificate to the appropriate district before your wedding day. When you attend your appointment you and your partner will need to provide information such as proof of age, identity, nationality and evidence you are free to marry. We will also need to see two documents that prove your identity - your birth certificate, together with your passport or driving licence, as well as a document proving your address such as a bank statement or utilities bill. If either of you have been married before you will need documents to show your last marriage has legally ended. All documents must be originals. Photocopies cannot be accepted. Any foreign documents should be accompanied by a certified English translation. If you were born in the UK on or after 1st January 1983, and you have no passport, we will need to see evidence of the British nationality of one of your parents if they were married at the time of your birth – either a birth certificate or passport is acceptable proof. e l e v e n www.carolkershaw.co.uk www.abbynelson.co.uk Please be aware that some special conditions may apply in the following cases: • either party is not a British Citizen • if the marriage is to take place outside of England or Wales • or, if either party is resident outside of England or Wales. If any of the above applies to you or your partner please contact one of our Register Offices for further advice. Fees Most importantly, please note that it is your responsibility to arrange the following: • To book any approved venue and arrange the details of the day • To ensure that the legal formalities are completed, and that you have obtained the necessary authorities (and delivered them to the Registrar) before your ceremony. Weddings at an approved venue Each individual notice of your marriage £33.50 per person Register Office marriage £40 The Marriage Certificate £3.50 per copy Commemorative Certificate £5.50 per copy Advanced booking fee Also, if you wish to get married and either the bride or groom is seriously ill or has a life limiting condition please contact the Register Officer in the district where you wish to get married as soon as you can. to March 2011 Monday to Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday & Bank Holidays £250 £275 £310 £400 to March 2012 £260 £285 £320 £410 £50 t w e l v e c u m b r i a a n d t h e l a k e s don’t forget… www.tinaluke.co.uk a s p e c i a l p l a c e f o r y o u r w e d d i n g there are some important things to remember for your Wedding Day. May we please respectfully remind you of the following: •P ayment for any wedding is required in advance, 6 weeks prior to the day. • It is the responsibility of the couple to book, and confirm, dates and arrangements with approved venues, and to pay any fees due by the premises. • It is the couple’s responsibility to ensure that the legal formalities and marriage notices are complete and that you have obtained the necessary authorities (and delivered them to the Registrar) before your ceremony. •A ny rights of copyright for music, readings, etc., permitted at the ceremony are a matter for you and the venue. •C umbria County Council has a no smoking policy on all its premises and this includes all Register Offices, ceremony rooms, car parks and grounds. • Whilst every effort will be made to make sure you ceremony starts on time, you should appreciate that circumstances beyond the control of the Registration Service staff may occasionally cause delays. Unfortunately, the Registration Service cannot accept responsibility for any delays beyond its control. If you need to discuss any of these points or have any other questions, please contact the Registrar in the district where your ceremony will take place. www.thegranarystudio.com t h i r t e e n www.thegranarystudio.com Couples often require extra copies of their marriage certificate, primarily for legal purposes. If you do require extra certificates, they are available from the Registrar at a cost of £3.50 each. Please ensure you contact the Registrar in advance stating how many you require. However, if at any time after your wedding you require further copies of your marriage certificate you can obtain these from the Register Office in the district where you got married. You will be advised of the cost at the time. copy certificates With the current trend in family history research, we also offer copies of other birth, death and marriage certificates for previous events registered in Cumbria. These can be obtained, for a small fee, from the Register Office where the event was first registered. f o u r t e e n c u m b r i a a n d t h e l a k e s a s p e c i a l www.tinaluke.co.uk p l a c e f o r y o u r w e d d i n g on the day… your simple guide to the big day witnesses The law requires that you are accompanied by at least two witnesses over 16 years of age at your wedding. They may be relatives, friends or colleagues who must be able to speak and understand English. parking The amount of parking varies at each Register Office. For further information, please contact the Register Office where your wedding will be taking place. Most approved venues have ample parking available. photography It is not unusual for the bride and groom to be nervous on the day of the wedding. It helps to know what to expect on the day itself, so hopefully the following information will help ease your mind… arrival It is very important that you and your guests arrive in good time, at least 20 minutes earlier than the time of your marriage. This will allow you to be interviewed before the ceremony and for your guests to be seated. The Registrar will see the bride and groom privately, either together or separately, to check details and final arrangements. flowers All ceremony rooms at the Register Offices are tastefully decorated. You may, however, wish to have or make your own floral arrangements. Please discuss this with the Superintendent Registrar. music Music systems and CD players are provided in all our Register Offices with a selection of suitable music. If, however, you have a favourite or meaningful piece you wish to have played, please discuss it before the day with the Superintendent Registrar who will be happy to advise you. All photography, professional or otherwise, is by the permission of the presiding Superintendent Registrar. You are allowed to photograph the bride and groom as they enter, the exchanging of ring(s) and the first kiss. Flashguns may only be used, with the consent of the Superintendent Registrar, and must be agreed prior to the start of the ceremony. Photographers are welcome to take photographs before and after the formal ceremony, however it is important that all ceremonies begin on time, without delays as a result of photographs being taken. video Video recording is at the discretion of the Superintendent Registrar. Only one video camera to be used and the person recording the event should remain in one position. Any cameras or video equipment must be battery operated only. mobile phones Your guests will be asked to ensure that their mobile phones or electrical devices are silent or turned off during the ceremony. confetti Confetti is a familiar part of any wedding, but please ask your guests not to throw confetti inside the building! If you need to discuss any of these points or have any other questions, please contact the Registrar in the district where your ceremony will take place. f i f t e e n www.photographerwedding.org s i x t e e n .BLJOHUIFESFBNDPNFUSVF "SNBUIXBJUF)BMM Country House Hotel & Spa Romantic 17th century Broadwater Suite & Lime Trees former stately home with Introducing two of the Lake Districts premier spectacular views of new function venues, part of a multi-million Bassenthwaite Lake and pound development – Boasting spectacular surrounding fells. 5 approved views across the woodland and gardens, with venues for civil ceremonies, access to a private terrace and hotel gardens. elegant restaurants for Girls Day Out in The Spa... wedding receptions and Our Day Spa Experiences offer complete bedrooms of individual indulgence and include full use of the brand character.

If he or she is able to marry you they will be able to advise on the necessary legal requirements, the ceremony, timescales and the requirement for publishing Banns of the marriage, or for the issue of a Common Licence. There is not usually any need to involve the Superintendent Registrars. www.carolkershaw.co.uk marriages abroad A Superintendent Registrar may accept notice for a marriage to take place in a foreign country between a British subject and either a foreign subject or another British subject. They may be able to issue a certificate which can be produced to help the procedure abroad. However, the rules vary and you should consult the Superintendent Registrar about a Marriage to be solemnised in a foreign country under local law. Sometimes it is possible for a record of the marriage to be made under the Foreign Marriage Order 1970, but this is not always the case and you should consult the Superintendent Registrar for more details. t w e n t y t h r e e If you are planning to marry in any other church or religious building you will need to give notice at the Register Office in the registration district in which you live, very much in the same way as you would if you were to be married in the Register Office or at an approved venue. If you wish to be married in a church in a different district to where you live one of you must either live or worship there. The Register Office will be able to advise you. Some churches require the presence of a Registrar at the wedding; others have their own Registrar (or Authorised Person). If you think you will need a Registrar at your wedding you will need to give us as much notice as possible to avoid being disappointed. www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk t w e n t y f o u r PBowl-ad-90x90:Layout 1 19/3/08 5:00 pm Page 1 THE PUNCH BOWL A spectacular location for a very special day.

The ceremonies are undertaken by local authorities, specifically the Registration Service who are already responsible for civil marriage ceremonies. The celebratory nature of the ceremonies we conduct at the Register Office are ideally suited to the concept of citizenship ceremonies. Cumbria’s cultural diversity is a cause for celebration and the citizenship ceremonies are an opportunity for the Council to welcome new citizens to the County and the community. When you become a citizen it carries with it, both rights and responsibilities. The ceremonies help to encourage new citizens to play an active part in the community and also give added significance to attaining citizenship. At the ceremony, every applicant for British citizenship is required to swear an oath of allegiance to the Crown and make a pledge to uphold the values and laws of the UK. Cumbria wishes the ceremonies to be enjoyable and meaningful events. Local dignitaries attend each ceremony in order to give a local feel to the event. To find out about the application process for gaining British citizenship, rather than ceremony arrangements, visit the Home Office website www.uknationality.gov.uk www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk t h i r t y t h r e e y o u r w e d d i n g www.powderandpaint.com changes to your passport There are so many things to organise when you are getting married, if you are changing your name you may need to change your passport as well. Check with your travel agent or the countries consulate if you are travelling abroad for your honeymoon. You can change your passport details at any time up to three months before the wedding, although you will not be able to use it, until your wedding date. For further information, contact www.passport.gov.uk immigration control If one of you is subject to immigration control, for example staying in the UK on a visa, then you will need to follow special procedures. You will need to give notice at a specially designated Register Office, which in Cumbria are the Carlisle and Kendal offices.

Any two people of the same sex can register a civil partnership on the condition they are not lawfully married or they are not already in a civil partnership, are over 18 years of age (or able to provide evidence of consent if 16 or 17), and are not closely related. y o u r w e d d i n g Civil Partnerships can be formed in any Register Office or approved venue, with or without celebrations in the form of readings, music and vows. There is no legal requirement to have any form of words or music. At present the law does not permit the registration of a civil partnership in a church or religious building. Some of the reasons for entering into a civil partnership include: Any couple who wish to enter into a civil partnership will need to attend a local Registration Office in the district where they both live, to give notice of their intent to form the civil partnership. When you attend your appointment you and your partner will also need to provide information such as proof of age, identity, nationality and evidence you are free to marry. We will also need to see two documents that prove your identity - your birth certificate, together with your passport or driving licence, as well as a document proving your address such as a bank statement or utilities bill. If either of you have been through a form of marriage or partnership before you will need documents to show your last relationship has legally ended. i.e. dissolution of partnership, or divorce document or death certificate of previous partner is required. t h i r t y s e v e n • E quitable treatment for the purposes of assessment for child support; life assurance; tax, including inheritance tax; employment and pension benefits; inheritance of a tenancy agreement; • A duty to provide reasonable maintenance for civil partners and any children of the family; • Ability to apply for parental responsibility for the child of a civil partner; • Recognition under intestacy rules; • Recognition for immigration and nationality purposes; • If one partner dies the other will have the right to register the death. Please contact a Superintendent Registrar at any of our Register Offices for more information on Civil Partnership or to obtain a copy of our Civil Partnership guide. www.steventaylorphotography.co.uk Fees Civil Partnerships at an approved venue £33.50 Each individual notice of your partnership per person Register Office partnership £40 The Partnership Certificate £3.50 per copy Commemorative Certificate £5.50 per copy Advanced booking fee to March 2011 Monday to Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday & Bank Holidays to March 2012 £250 £275 £310 £400 £260 £285 £320 £410 £50 t h i r t y e i g h t c u m b r i a a n d t h e l a k e s a s p e c i a l renewing your vows why not celebrate your special day again? www.karenjonesphotography.biz p l a c e f o r y o u r w e d d i n g Renewal of marriage vows ceremonies are often associated with a special wedding anniversary, such as tenth, twentyfifth etc, but the ceremony is just as appropriate for couples at any stage of marriage The ceremony is put together by you! Just as no two married couples are the same, no two ceremonies to renew marriage vows will ever be the same. Special people in your lives can take part in your ceremony; your children, guests who were at your wedding and any friends and relatives. For example if you were married abroad, you can renew your marriage vows in a ceremony held for family and friends. You can also ask friends or relatives to witness the signing of the certificate of the event. Only venues that meet current fire and safety regulations and with public liability insurance are suitable to hold a ceremony. Register Offices and approved venues which are licensed for civil marriages are listed in this brochure and provide excellent locations for renewal of marriage vows ceremonies as these premises are experienced at holding such events. However, private homes are not considered suitable. If you are unsure of the suitability of a particular location please contact one of the Register Offices. Please Note: Neither the renewal of marriage vows ceremony nor any other document issued following the ceremony has any legal status.
