What is a civil marriage?

What is a civil partnership? A civil partnership is a legal relationship which can be registered by two people who aren’t related to each other. Civil partnerships are available to both same sex couples and opposite sex couples. Registering a civil partnership will give your relationship legal recognition. This will give you added legal rights, as well as responsibilities. To register a civil partnership, you and your partner must sign a civil partnership document in front of two witnesses and a registrar at a register office or licensed venue. You do not need to include a ceremony or say any vows to each other, but you may include a ceremony if you wish.

Where can I get married or have a civil partnership? For a civil marriage or civil partnership to be legal it needs to take place in a licensed venue or a register office (you can find details on our website) in front of the registrars and two witnesses. When you are ready to book, we will work together to make sure that your ceremony is everything you imagined. We are a passionate and dedicated team with years of experience conducting marriages and civil partnerships across Surrey. Our registrars truly love their jobs and pride themselves on making sure your day is unique.

A civil marriage is a legal, non-religious ceremony that is held either in a register office or at a licensed venue and is performed by a registrar. It gives your relationship legal recognition and added legal rights. For a marriage, there are words prescribed by law which you must say during the marriage ceremony, these words declare you are free to marry and contract your marriage. A civil marriage is available to both same sex couples and opposite sex couples.

Legal formalities Before your ceremony, you must each attend an appointment in person at the register office to give notice of your intent to marry or form a civil partnership. If you reside in the county of Surrey, you can attend any of the Surrey register offices to give notice. If you reside outside of the county of Surrey, you will be required to give notice at the register office in the council tax area in which you live. Giving notice means declaring that you are both free to marry each other or enter into a civil partnership. You will need to provide original documents at your notice appointment, and you are able to give notice up to one year before the date of your ceremony but no later than 29 days before.

You will need to make an appointment at the register office in the council tax area in which you live. If you live in the county of Surrey, you can book your appointment online at www.surreycc.gov.uk/ceremonies When you give notice, the registrar will ask questions about you and your partner to ensure that you are legally able to marry or form a civil partnership. You will be asked to pay the notice fee by card or online at the end of your appointment. If you are not a British citizen, different legislation will apply, so please check our website for further information before you book the appointment. Further details of how to give notice of marriage or civil partnership can be found on our website – www.surreycc.gov.uk/ceremonies.

Your ceremony This is your special day and there is no need to be nervous or worried; the registrars are there to help and guide you, so you can relax and enjoy the ceremony. The Ceremonies Team will help you to plan your ceremony by personalising your ceremony with vows, readings, and music. We will keep an eye on how your ceremony plans are going and will remind you if there is anything more we need from you. You can email or phone us at any time during working hours if you have questions about your ceremony. We are here to help you right up to the big day.

Readings Readings can really help to make your ceremony unique. Readings are also a wonderful way of involving friends or relatives on the day. Finding the right words to express how you feel about each other and what marriage means to you can make for some very special moments. Readings cannot contain any religious content and should be short in length. Personal Vows Some couples choose to say personal vows to each other during their ceremony. The vows could include some of the things you love most about your partner or your hopes and dreams for your future together. We can provide you with examples of additional vows or you

may wish to create your own. Personal vows cannot be religious or have any connection with a religious marriage ceremony. Music Music choices also help to make a wedding special. From traditional musical pieces written for weddings to modern pop, and everything in between, music has a powerful impact on everyone’s emotions. Religious music is only allowed at religious weddings (in a church, for example). If you’re unsure what might be suitable, let us know your music choices and we can confirm whether it is appropriate.

Don’t forget to check with your venue to make sure you bring the music in the right format (USB, iPod, CD).

Marriage ceremony You can choose from a simple ceremony with a couple of friends as witnesses, or you might like a more splendid affair. Whatever your vision, we will help you create the perfect ceremony. For a marriage ceremony, there are words prescribed by law which you must say, these words declare you are free to marry and contract your marriage.

Civil partnership It is not a legal requirement to have a ceremony when you are entering into a civil partnership. You may prefer the informality of signing the legal document with your witnesses or you may wish to celebrate with a ceremony. Whatever you choose, we would be delighted to guide you in creating a day which is special and personal to you both. If you choose to include a ceremony, you may like to say personal vows to each other, exchange rings and include music, poetry or prose. We can provide you with examples or you may wish to create your own. Any personal words or vows cannot be religious or have any connection with a religious ceremony.

Civil partnership conversion to marriage Same sex couples can convert their existing civil partnership to marriage, provided they registered it in England and Wales, or overseas in a consulate or armed forces base where the civil partnership was registered according to the laws of England and Wales. The conversion to a marriage will be registered and marriage certificates will be issued, for which there is a small charge. If you are in a civil partnership and are considering converting this to a marriage, please contact us for more guidance and information.

You will be asked to choose one set of declaratory words and contracting vows.

You may wish to include personal vows, exchange rings and include music and poetry or prose. Please ensure the Ceremonies Team has seen these words before the day. Any personal words or vows cannot be religious or have any connection with a religious marriage ceremony. At the end the ceremony, the registrar will invite you and your witnesses to sign the legal marriage document. The ceremony can last for up to 30 minutes.

A civil partnership ceremony can last for up to 30 minutes.

SURREY WEDDINGS & CEREMONIES

What happens on the day? Couple arrive and pre-ceremony meeting Before the ceremony starts, the registrar needs to meet the couple to make sure that all the details for the legal documents are correct – this is a legal requirement on the day. You can meet the registrar together or separately, it’s your choice. If you plan to arrive together, we recommend you arrive to see the registrar at least 30 minutes before the ceremony is due to start. If you plan to arrive separately, we recommend that one of you arrives to see the registrar 30 minutes before the ceremony, and the other 15 minutes before. Don’t forget to factor in time for any pre-ceremony photographs and try not to keep your partner waiting – this reduces the stress levels for everyone! Guests arrive Ask your guests to arrive at least 20 minutes before the ceremony. Remember to make allowances for traffic delays. Check where parking is for you and your guests and let them know. Arrival of processional party You may wish to enter the ceremony room together or you may wish to enter separately and be escorted into the ceremony room and formally presented by a person of your choice. Your bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower

girls and page boys may accompany you into the room, if you wish.

Welcome The registrar will put you and your guests at ease by formally welcoming you to the venue and will lead you through the ceremony. Legal statements, declaratory words and contracting vows The registrar will guide you through your choice of legal words by asking you to repeat them. Don’t worry, you don’t have to memorise the words! Personal vows If you would like to say personal vows to each other, we are happy to discuss this with you. We can provide you with examples of additional vows or you may wish to create your own. Personal vows cannot be religious or have any connection with a religious marriage ceremony. Giving/exchanging of rings The marriage/civil partnership may be sealed by the giving and receiving of rings. You can choose from a selection of words to say to each other during the exchange of rings.

Witnesses can be relatives, friends or colleagues and must be able to speak and understand English and must be over the age of 16.

Frequently asked questions How much will our ceremony cost and when do we have to pay? Our pricing information can be found on our website or you can give our ceremonies office a call to talk through the options on 0300 200 1002. www.surreycc.gov.uk/ ceremonies. Can one of us be ‘fashionably late’? You must be ready to start your ceremony on time – we are unable to delay the start of your celebration as we will be conducting another ceremony after yours and we cannot risk being late for another couple. If you are late for your ceremony, you risk us not being able to proceed as planned which would be extremely upsetting, so please make sure that you allow enough time to get ready and arrive at the venue calmly and promptly. How many guests can we invite? Each ceremony room will be licensed for a particular number of guests and you must adhere to these numbers as they are based on fire risk assessments. No extra guests are permitted to stand in the ceremony room. Can we have music during the ceremony? Yes – Music is a popular enhancement to a ceremony. Music can be played while your guests are being seated, for your entrance, the signing of the legal documents and when you exit the ceremony room.

Who can walk me in? If you wish to be escorted by a member of your family, a friend, or you wish to enter together as a couple, the choice is yours. You may also choose to be accompanied by bridesmaids or flowergirls and groomsmen or page boys. I am worried that I may make a mistake or start to laugh or cry We understand emotions and nerves will be running high and you may be extremely nervous. This is perfectly natural, so please do not be embarrassed. If you make a mistake, the registrar will repeat what you need to say or help you correct the words. Your guests are here to celebrate your special occasion with you and will not mind if you show some nerves or make a mistake. If you have a giggle or shed a tear, most of them will probably join you!

Music cannot be religious in nature, so we cannot accept hymns or religious music.

Is parking available? The amount of parking varies according to where you have chosen to hold your ceremony. Please discuss what is available with the venue you have chosen. Can we throw confetti? Confetti is a traditional part of any marriage or civil partnership celebration. We understand this and ask that you check with your chosen venue as to what restrictions they may have about where confetti can be used. At our Surrey register offices, we are happy for your guests to use biodegradable confetti outside in the garden. I do not want to be seen by my partner/guests prior to the ceremony – is that possible? Yes, that is possible because we conduct separate interviews at our venues and their staff are well practiced in keeping you hidden until the last moment.

Can we write our own vows? Yes, your own vows will make the ceremony even more special and personal. After you say the legal words at your ceremony you can choose to add personal vows or promises. Just a gentle reminder that no religious content or connotations can be included during a legal civil ceremony. Can a friend/family member write a reading for our ceremony? Certainly, let us know what you have in mind and we would be happy to discuss this with you. If it’s being written as a surprise for you, it can be sent to us separately. Can members of our family be witnesses at our marriage/civil partnership? Yes. Witnesses must be able to speak and understand English. Each witness must be old enough to understand what has taken place and be able to testify to what they have seen and heard should this be necessary. In Surrey, we recommend that witnesses are over the age of 16. Can people take photos or videos of the ceremony? Yes, you may, and if you have any preference around this please speak to the registrar on the day. You may wish to have a keepsake of your special day in the form of a video recording. There will be time for guests to take some of their own photographs at the end of a ceremony, should you wish this to happen.

How do I sign the legal documents? You will be asked to sign the legal documents with your ‘usual signature’, as you would sign any legal document. What if we need to cancel our ceremony – will we get any money back? We hope you won’t need to cancel but if you do, you can find all the details about cancelling in our cancellation policy on our website www.surreycc.gov.uk/ceremonies. Can we have a ceremony outside? Yes. Many of our venues are licensed for outdoor ceremonies. Please contact us for further information on which venues have this option. Don’t forget to have a back-up plan in case of bad weather. Can we have a ceremony at our home? Currently, the law requires that a legal marriage or civil partnership must be held at a licensed venue and so this prevents the option to have a legal ceremony in your house. We are having a blessing in a church/ overseas after the legal ceremony. Can we simplify the civil ceremony? Yes, certainly, please contact our ceremonies team for advice. Can I change my name on my passport before my ceremony? Yes, you can apply to change your name on your

passport up to three months prior to your ceremony date by applying to HM Passport Office and completing a PD2 form to accompany your application. Please ensure that the name on any of your flight/travel bookings and the name on your passport is the same if you are going overseas after your ceremony – if they are different, you may be refused boarding onto aircraft or entry into another country. Further information is available our website – www.surreycc.gov.uk/ registration. Can we write our own ceremony? We offer a fantastic choice of three Surrey ceremony scripts to choose from. You can see the ceremony scripts on our website www.surreycc.gov.uk/ ceremonies. If you would like to write personal vows to exchange, we would be more than happy to include them, provided they do not contain any religious content. Can our guests sing a song as part of the ceremony? Yes, you can include a song instead of a reading. Just a gentle reminder about no religious content or connotation during a legal ceremony. Do I need to hire a celebrant for my ceremony? When booking a Surrey ceremony, our experienced ceremony celebrants are included in your booking. There is no requirement for you to book any third-party celebrant services. If you are considering booking an independent celebrant, we recommend you contact us to discuss this further. Please email: registration. ceremonies@surreycc.gov.uk

Leatherhead Register Office

History of The Mansion The history of The Mansion is colourful and varied. The first house on the impressive site was built during the reign of Henry VIII and thought to have been rebuilt in 1710 by Alexander Akehurst. Some of its many occupants have been a Royal Falconer, a Lord Lieutenant of Surrey and during a period of notoriety, Lord Jefferys, who became known as the ‘Hanging Judge’ after the Monmouth Rebellion. As well as being a private home, it has also been used as a school, a billet for Canadian troops during World War II, and latterly by Surrey County Council to house the library and other council services. In May 2000, the ground floor rooms were restored to their former glory to become a register office.

Wotton House Hotel Since the 16th-century, Wotton House has been a cornerstone of the beautiful Surrey Hills tapestry. Steeped in history, the hotel was bought by the Evelyn family in 1579, and the beautiful gardens were created by avid botanist and Arbor-culturalist John Evelyn and his brother George with the Italian Renaissance in mind. The mystical temples and ornamental fountains have been admired for generations, set on 13 acres of Grade II-listed history, an ideal canvas for any explorer looking for an escape from the day-to-day.

Whether in the grand Old Library or the serene Italian gardens, every wedding is Wonderfully Wotton.

Blending history and romance, the Old Library’s Gothic stone windows and towering pillars create an intimate yet dramatic setting, while the gardens offer a timeless backdrop for vows and photos. Wedding breakfasts and evening celebrations take place in the Evelyn Suite, a bright and elegant space that effortlessly adapts to any wedding style. Overlooking the gardens, the room’s neutral tones and soft wooden panelling provide a warm, welcoming setting. As the evening unfolds, the lights lower, the music starts, and the celebrations continue late into the night.
