CIVIL PARTNERSHIPS & MARRIAGES - Three steps to your Perfect Moment Whether you choose to have 5 or 50 guests, one of the most important decisions you will need to make for your special day is whether you will have a marriage or a civil partnership. What is a Marriage? You have finally told your friends and family, posted the perfect ring selfie, discussed the budget, picked the date and planned your engagement party. So, what’s next? remember there are three important steps to arranging your Perfect Moment in Richmond upon Thames. 1. Choose and book your venue 2. Book registrars to conduct your ceremony 3. Book and give notice of intention to marry or form a civil partnership You may choose to formally pledge your love and Michael Maurer Photography
commitment to one another with an elaborate celebration or a more traditional-style ceremony with readings, live music or personal vows. Perhaps your Perfect Moment Richmond is an intimate and personalised arrangement with just two witnesses. Whatever you have planned, we have a tailor- made ceremony pack to assist you. 1. Choose and book your perfect venue No matter where you live, you can have a civil ceremony in the London Borough of Richmond. We are proud to have a wide range of venues across the borough approved for ceremonies ranging from simple ceremonies to larger scale celebrations. Simple Ceremonies A simple ceremony can be booked for both marriages and civil partnerships. They are held in the Studio Room of York House in Twickenham. The couple and their two witnesses will meet a registrar who will guide them through a simple ceremony and oversee the signing of the document that records the marriage or civil partnership. Ceremony in The Loggia The Loggia Room in York House overlooks the Grade II-listed gardens on the riverside at Twickenham and is our official venue for marriage and civil partnership ceremonies. At
A civil marriage is a non-religious ceremony performed by two registration officers – the marriage is legally contracted by verbally making declaratory vows in the presence of your witnesses. A religious marriage can take place at any registered religious building. Same-sex couples can get married in a religious building if it has been registered for the marriage of same-sex couples. An authorised person, such as a religious minister, must attend the ceremony and sign the ‘marriage schedule’ or ‘marriage document’. What is a Civil Partnership? A civil partnership is a ceremony performed by a civil partnership registrar – the partnership is formed through the signing of a civil partnership schedule with no requirement for vows to be made. The Three Steps Whether you dream of a more intimate ceremony with your closest friends and family or a grand affair in an exclusive hire venue. Perhaps you are still deciding between a civil marriage or partnership. Whatever stage you are in your journey, please

CEREMONIES in Richmond upon Thames
RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES and Ceremonies in Religious Buildings Pink Daisy Weddings If you are planning a marriage in a religious building in Richmond upon Thames you should seek their permission directly.
For Church of England or Wales, you need to speak with the minister of religion in order to make arrangements and complete legal preliminaries, which will usually take the form of Banns. Depending on your legal status in the UK you may be advised to complete civil preliminaries together at your local register office. To marry in a church of another denomination such as Roman Catholic, Pentecostal or Methodist or in a licenced religious building such as a temple, synagogue, mosque or meeting house, you will need to discuss booking arrangements with the priest or religious leader. In all the above cases you will need to give Notice of Intention at your local register office. Some churches or religious buildings may not have an authorised person available to register your marriage – where this occurs please contact the register office in the district the ceremony is due to take place to arrange for a registrar to attend.

THE PERFECT Moment
ON THE Day
Michael Maurer Photography
Pre-ceremony Interview Before your ceremony can begin you must have a pre- ceremony interview with your registrars. We need to confirm that the information you gave when giving notice is still current and correct. Providing your details have not changed since giving notice, you will not need to bring any additional documents. The interview is done privately away from your guests. If you wish to not see each other before your ceremony we can interview you separately. Your Witnesses Your witnesses can be anyone you choose, but it is a legal requirement that there are no less than two and that they can speak and understand English. It is also preferable that they are over 18 years old. It is your responsibility to provide witnesses for your wedding, as we are unable to provide them for you. Witnesses do not need to bring identification. If either you or your partner requires an interpreter, that person must also act as one of your witnesses.
To ensure that your Perfect Moment goes smoothly, here is a mini guide to what you can expect on the day. Don’t forget, your registrar will be on hand to answer any last minute questions you may have. Perfect Timing Whether you are getting married or entering a civil partnership at York House, The Register Office or another venue in the borough, you and your partner must arrive no less than 20 minutes before your ceremony start time. The 20-minute window is set aside for your mandatory pre- ceremony interview with your registrars. Your guests should be encouraged to arrive no later than 15 minutes before the start of the ceremony. This ensures everyone has time to settle in and be ready for your entrance. It is important that you arrive in good time for your ceremony. The registrars will have other ceremonies to attend throughout the day and cannot allow the lateness of one to impact upon another. If you are delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, we will make every effort to accommodate your ceremony. Please ensure that you have read our ceremony terms and conditions.

CIVIL PARTNERSHIP tCoonMvearrsiroiangCe eremonies Since December 2014, same-sex couples who had previously formed a civil partnership in England or Wales have the option to convert their existing civil partnership to a marriage.
Pink Daisy Weddings
A conversion from civil partnership to marriage can be handled as an administrative process. There is no requirement for a ceremony. However, if you wish, converting your partnership into a marriage can be marked in front of your guests with a ceremony. As with all ceremonies in Richmond upon Thames, these can be held at York House or one of our stunning venues. Opting for a ceremony ensures that in addition to you signing the conversion documentation in the presence of your guests, you also have the opportunity to ensure that this significant change in status is truly celebrated.

THE PERFECT Moment
CITIZENSHIP Ceremonies Your citizenship ceremony is the final step in the process of becoming a British citizen. Any person over the age of 18 who has applied for and been granted British Citizenship will be required to attend a citizenship ceremony where they will make vows of allegiance to the Head of State, their heirs and successors. At the completion of your Citizenship Ceremony, you will be presented with your Certificate of Naturalisation giving you the opportunity for you to apply for your British passport. Private Ceremonies As standard, you are invited to attend a group citizenship ceremony but you also have the option to arrange a private ceremony instead. As part of your private citizenship ceremony, you can be surrounded by those family and friends who have supported you throughout your journey. In addition to this, you will have a wider choice of date and time to choose. If you need to complete your citizenship journey quickly, a private ceremony can often be arranged faster than waiting for the next group ceremony. Group Ceremonies Group ceremonies are usually held at York House in Twickenham at a set date and time alongside a cohort of other citizens. As a group you will be welcomed into the wider community by a dignitary such as the Mayor.
