Essentials Photography and videography
Wedding photographs and videos are special mementoes, and we encourage you to capture the unforgettable moments of your special day. They are the lasting memories that you can keep forever and share with your friends and family. Before your ceremony begins the Registrar will advise you regarding the taking of photographs and the use of video cameras and drones to ensure that the dignity of the occasion is maintained whilst ensuring that you take home wonderul memories of your great occasion. When you have given your Notice of Marriage or Civil Parnership you will receive a ceremony pack that includes a guidance note, which we encourage couples to forward to the person you have chosen to take your photographs/ video. This will make them aware of the boundaries within which we have to work. If you do have any special requests please make a note of these on your checklist. Music If you have chosen music as par of your ceremony please note that, by law, music with a religious context cannot be used in a civil ceremony. If you need inspiration, we have a selection that you can choose from, both classical and modern genres. Please check with your chosen venue as to the music facilities they have in order to ensure that what you provide is compatible. For ceremonies taking place in Registration Oices our staf will advise the format we will require. If you would like live music, a choir, singers, or your guests to join you in song, this is possible but only in Approved Venues and not the Registration Ceremony Suites. We would need to know what music/lyrics are intended and how and who will be perorming. For Bespoke Worcestershire ceremonies, religious content is permissible, as a Celebration ceremony does not form par of the legal process. Confetti Traditionally, confetti is said to bestow prosperity on the newly joined couple. It is a lovely way to celebrate. Please feel free to use it outside at any of our Registration Oices, but do help us look aer the environment by using biodegradable confetti or petals. Approved Venues will have their own arrangements and should be contacted directly for details. Confetti is available to purchase in all

Floral arrangements All our Registration Oice ceremony rooms have silk loral arrangements in neutral colours. You are welcome to provide your own lowers or loral arrangements, especially if you want them to it into a paricular colour scheme. Floral arrangements in Approved Venues will need to be discussed with the venue. Decorations There may be the opporunity to personalise the room with your own lowers or decorations.

Themed celebrations If you have chosen a theme for your ceremony etc, please talk to us and we will do our utmost to it in with your wishes. Our Registrars have been known to enter into the spirit of a themed celebration. We have been asked to wear speciic colours, country and western themed cothing, a dinosaur hat, a cloak in keeping with a medieval or country and western theme and even Star Wars items! We will always do our best to please, including a DC Comics theme where we had the lovely compliment - “We were so happy that the Registrar was prepared to be our Superhero”. However, please discuss your requirements well in advance.
