Marriages

Your wedding day is special to you and to The Kent Registration Service. 'Simply Perfect' Kentish Weddings are unique wedding ceremonies provided by the county council at the ceremony venues it provides or licences across the county. These include stately homes, castles, country hotels, restaurants, civic halls and garden gazebos - to name just a few.

A special ceremony pack will normally be issued to you when you give your Notice of Marriage. Please see our giving notice of marriage page for more details.

Your ceremony pack provides a framework for you to personalise your ceremony to include a number of important choices, including your marriage vows.

You can also opt for the inclusion of poetry, prose or personal messages of celebration, the music of your choice and the involvement of family and friends. Here are a few suggestions from our 'Simply Perfect' ceremony pack.

You may want your wedding to be traditional or perhaps a less formal occasion or you may wish to consider a 'theme wedding'. It's up to you!

A 'Simply Perfect' Kentish Wedding is about choice - your choice - and is unique to Kent.

Ceremony times - have your say!

Currently couples can only hold a civil ceremony between 8am and 6pm. However, the Government is currently looking to increase the hours when civil weddings and partnerships can take place. We'd love to hear your views on this plan so please take a minute to take part in our survey.
