Civil Ceremonies

Look no further for that perfect venue. Many of our hotels are licensed to perform civil ceremonies. Your wedding day is the most important day of your life and we certainly want to ensure you have the most memorable occasion. You can take your vows, sharing the moment with your friends and family, and afterwards as they say 'let the celebrations begin' (all under the same roof).

Firstly you need to finalise your wedding date, and then decide which Stop Inn you wish to get married in. One thing to remember is that it is becoming ever more popular to have a civil wedding these days so make sure you book it as soon as you can. Check with the registrar what details and documents (e.g. birth certificate) are needed to give notice of marriage, you will need to make sure you provide the originals as photocopies are not accepted. You both will have to go in person to register and pay the registration fee.

The notice of marriage is the legal preliminary to your marriage and must be displayed at the resister office for 15 clear days after this period is passed your wedding can then take place.

The standard ceremony, in which you make the legal declaration to one another, in the presence of your friends and family, will take approximately 15 - 20 minutes including the signing of the register.

By contacting the Wedding Co-ordinator at your chosen hotel they will be able to supply you with the details of the Registrar for that area or visit here for details on registrar's in England and Wales.
