On the day of your ceremony
Your special day If you’re getting married or having your civil partnership at Chelsea Old Town Hall, we ask that you and your guests arrive via the Chelsea Manor Street entrance and head straight upstairs to the Ceremony Waiting Room. There is step-free access to this area via Chelsea Library just next door. Whilst your guests are being seated, the officiating registrars attending your ceremony will interview both of you privately to ensure that all the details to be recorded on the day of the ceremony are correct. At your meeting you will be asked to confirm all the details given at the time of your notice of intention to marry or enter into a civil partnership.
Once all the preliminaries have been completed, the registrars will arrange your entrance into the chosen room for the start of your ceremony. The officiating registrar will begin the ceremony with a welcome and short introduction, reminding you both of the solemn and binding nature of the commitment you are about to make to each other. As part of your ceremony you will be asked to repeat the official vows. Once you have exchanged your vows (and optional rings), the registrar will then ask both you and your witnesses to sign the register. There will then be an opportunity for photographs to be taken by your photographer and guests.
