Our venues
Community venues
Essex Records Office, Chelmsford
We are accepting bookings for ceremonies of marriage and civil partnerships up to two years in advance.
Plan your ceremony
There are legal requirements that have to happen in advance of your ceremony. This includes booking a registrar and giving notice.
Once you have booked your registrars online you will be able to access a checklist in your personalised ceremony portal. This checklist will show your outstanding tasks. All of these tasks must be completed before your ceremony can happen.
Attendees
You should still contact your venue to understand how many they can accommodate and if there are any restrictions that apply.
