Since April 1995 if you live in England or Wales you have been able to marry in any of the Register Offices or a place licensed to hold weddings.
These Wedding Venues are referred to as Approved Wedding Venues or Licensed Wedding Venues as they have been granted the license to hold marriages and civil ceremonies by the Registration Service and the Local Authority
You can choose from around 4000 of these Licensed places and Register Offices within England and Wales for your wedding without having to set up residence in the registration district in which the establishment is. A residency requirement is however still needed in order to give your 'Notice of Marriage'
The site has been developed to offer information on all of those available wedding venues.
These include Stately homes, Historic buildings, Hotels, Register Offices, Pubs, Restaurants, Sports Centers, Castles, and even more unusual ones such as the London Eye, Chester Zoo, Poldark Mine, Pinewood Film Studios, Birmingham, Liverpool or Manchester Football Clubs, Polhawn Fort, Hastings Pier, Cheltenham Racecourse, Centre Parcs in Suffolk, on the H.M.S.Trincomalee or the HMS Belfast, on Concorde at Manchester,or in Willesborough Windmill Kent, providing you with a huge choice and a variety of settings for your wedding.
Although currently wedding ceremonies are not allowed to take place outdoors or in temporary or moveable structures such as marquees or boats, certain venues do have permanent constructions outdoors i.e. pergolas, gazebos etc. which are licensed
