Getting married in a religious building

If you are to be married in any religious building (apart from the Church of England) you must each give individual notice of marriage at the Register Office for the district in which you reside.

You can only be married in a church outside your district(s) of residence if either of you usually attends for worship at that church.  You may also be married in another district if there is no building of your denomination in either of your district of residence.

Unless the church or religious building has an Authorised Person appointed to register its marriages, a registrar from the registration district governing that building must attend the marriage ceremony (by prior arrangement) to legally register your marriage.
