Your Hertfordshire ceremony A civil marriage ceremony A civil marriage is a legal marriage solemnized as a civil contract without a religious ceremony. It can be between a man and a woman or by a couple of the same sex. You can choose to have your civil marriage ceremony in any register office or approved venue in Hertfordshire. A civil marriage is contracted on the two spoken legal declarations, the first is that you are free to marry and the second is the contracting vow. It can be a very simple ceremony with just two witnesses or we can help you create a ceremony enhanced with readings and music that is unique to you. The legal preliminaries must be completed before the marriage can take place. A civil partnership ceremony A civil partnership is a legal relationship which can be registered by two people who are not 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.
The registration may be a simple short signing, or you may wish to celebrate with a small ceremony or maybe a larger ceremony enhanced with readings and music. The legal preliminaries must be completed before the civil partnership can take place.
