Booking A Kentish Wedding

We have created a short film to help you plan and book your Kentish Ceremony. You can view the film here.

The first steps in booking or arranging A Kentish Wedding are to choose :

• The venue
• The date and
• The time

The Ceremony may commence at anytime between 8am and 5pm. Whatever day is chosen for the Kentish Wedding the Kent Registration Service guarantee to provide marriage registrars to conduct and register the ceremony. A booking with the Kent Registration Service can be made as far in advance as the couple wish, and this guarantee applies as soon as the venue is booked.

To arrange a marriage ceremony in a venue the couple should visit the venue and complete their booking procedures. The wedding co-ordinator will then contact the local Register Office. Couples will then receive a letter from the Register Office advising them about the legal preliminaries to marriage, what they need to do next, and the documents and fees that are required.

Foreign Nationals

All persons subject to immigration control must now satisfy certain criteria before they give their Notice of Marriage. Timescales for completing legal preliminaries may take longer for these couples so we advise that they contact us as soon as possible.
