RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES and Ceremonies in Religious Buildings Michael Maurer Photography 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 licensed 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 marriage 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.
