Civil Ceremonies in Worcestershire

Bespoke Worcestershire… Sometimes you just have a yearning to have and do something different… ‘Your Special Day’. Worcestershire Registration Service can offer a complete Bespoke service to include everything you have always dreamed of to make ‘Your Special Day’ one to remember forever. Maybe you have always wanted to have your ceremony in a special place, at home, in your garden, by a lake, in the woods or anywhere else your dreams takes you. Whilst you can currently only have a legal ceremony in a Register Office, Approved Venue or outdoor area within the boundaries of an Approved Venue, you can still make your ceremony ‘Your Special Day’. How? There are a number of options. The only stipulation is that your legal ceremony must take place in a licensed venue before your Bespoke celebration. After all, how can you celebrate something that has not yet happened! Your legal ceremony can take place a week or a few days before, the day before, or on the day itself. The celebration can then take place anywhere and in any style you please… even including any religious, cultural or other elements. For example you may wish to include hand fasting or jump over a broomstick. If your chosen special place is not already a venue licensed for civil ceremonies we can undertake a risk assessment and advise appropriately. You may need to obtain

permission for a ‘public gathering’ or hire the space from the local council, e.g. if you would like to hold your celebration of Marriage in the bandstand in your local park, we can advise on the steps that you would need to take. All our staff are knowledgeable professionals and there is nothing we have not seen or been asked! We have built on years of experience, seen the changing trends, and most of all listened to couples in order to be able to offer you such a unique service. We have undertaken Bespoke ceremonies in back gardens, front gardens, at the VW Music Festival, private stately homes, arboretums, railway stations, craft centres, bandstands, on a farm, at glamping sites, in the woods and by a lake… these are to name but a few. Our Bespoke service is designed to give your ceremony or celebration a truly personal touch. You can feel completely at ease knowing that every part of your journey — from the legal requirements to the ceremony itself — is handled with care and in full accordance with statutory guidelines. All the while, we make sure your day reflects your wishes, your style, and the experience you’ve been dreaming of. Email us at registeroffice@worcestershire.gov.uk and request our Bespoke service. The team will contact you to take all your details and be able to advise you on ‘next steps’. Following this, we will put you in touch with your dedicated Registrar who will work with you throughout – from discussing your ideas, to helping you bring those dreams and ideas to life; from the words used, to the structure of your ceremony and beyond… Let the magic begin…
