isle of wight ceremonies guide 21
Can members of our family be witnesses at our marriage/ civil partnership?
What if we need to cancel our ceremony – will we get any money back? The Registration Service has a detailed cancellation policy which will determine whether you are entitled to a refund - this depends on how much you have paid and how far ahead of the ceremony date you have cancelled. If you do need to cancel your ceremony, please contact us as soon as possible and we will advise you of your individual situation. The full cancellation policy can be found on our website: www.iwight.com/ registrars/. Can we have a ceremony outside? We license garden structures at some of our venues and some venues have suitable outside areas, which enable a ceremony to take place outside, weather permitting. Please contact us for further information on which venues have this option and the terms and conditions surrounding such bookings.
Your witnesses can be members of your family or you may choose friends. They must be able to speak English (as they must have understood the vows you exchange) and understand the nature and purpose of marriage and civil partnership. Can people take photos or videos of the ceremony? We suggest that you have one main photographer that takes official photographs during the ceremony although we request that the use of a flash is minimal. Similarly, it is possible for a video to be recorded, but please let the registrar know in advance so that they can make sure that the camera is in a good position. We will also allow time for guests to take some of their own photographs at the end of a ceremony, should you wish this to happen. Is there any particular way I have to sign the schedule? You will be asked to sign your usual signature on the schedule, as you would normally sign perhaps a cheque or application form. A bride will sign using the names and surname she had prior to the wedding.
