Other options for your day
Your guests
It is important to make sure that everyone you want to invite to your ceremony can attend. Please check to make sure that the room or venue you have booked has the right capacity to accommodate everyone you want to attend.
All your guests count towards the room capacity. This includes children and babies of all ages. However, you (the couple), the registrars and the photographer are not included towards the room capacity.
Many of our venues have multiple rooms so please check with them to be clear on which one you are using.
Involving your pet in the celebrations
When you have a pet, they become a very important part of your life. For some couples, friends and family are the most important wedding attendees. For others, it's the dog!
If your venue is pet friendly, then we’d be delighted for your pet to attend – or to play a part in your wedding ceremony. We recommend you contact the venue for their policy on pets or animals attending and let them know what you’re planning.
If your ceremony is taking place at one of our Registration Office ceremony suites, we have health and safety rules that mean only assistance animals or service dogs are allowed inside our buildings.
Holding your ceremony outside
As long as the venue has a civil ceremony licence, then you can have a legally binding outdoor ceremony anywhere within its boundary.
The great British weather can be unpredictable at the best of times so you will need to have a backup plan in place should there be some adverse weather that scuppers your outdoor plans.
If you would like to hold your ceremony outdoors, please speak to your venue in the first instance and include this on your ceremony plan.
Involving other celebrants
You may want to involve other celebrants in your day. This maybe to have a blessing or other aspect not usually included in a civil ceremony.
We will always conduct and conclude our ceremony as a service on its own. We also only allow Lincolnshire registrars to conduct our civil ceremonies.
We are happy to work round other celebrants or celebrations you wish to have on the day. Please contact us if you have any specific requests around this. We are happy to discuss options to get the right flow for your day.
