CEREMONIES IN WANDSWORTH
RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES AND CEREMONIES IN RELIGIOUS BUILDINGS
If you are planning a ceremony in a religious building in the London Borough of Wandsworth 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 . If your choice is 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 at your local register office. Some churches or religious buildings may not have an authorised person available to register your religious ceremony – 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.
