You must first decide where and when you wish to marry. If you wish to marry within England or Wales there are several options: If you wish to have a religious ceremony, you must marry in either an Anglican church (Church of England) or in a place of worship which has been registered by the Registrar General for marriage ceremonies. Marriage

If you wish to have a civil ceremony you may marry in any register office within England or Wales or at approved premises – a building which has been granted a licence for civil marriages. For example a hotel, civic building or stately home. The law makes a clear distinction between a religious and a civil ceremony. This means that you may not hold a religious ceremony on premises authorised for civil ceremonies, and you may not hold a civil ceremony in a place of worship.
