Getting married in England

Same-sex couples have been able to marry in England since March 2014, and civil partnerships are open to every couple too. From London to the Lakes, there are affirming vendors ready to help.

Giving notice

You’ll each give notice at your local register office after living in that district for at least 7 days. Notice must be given at least 29 days before your ceremony, and you need to marry within 12 months. If one of you isn’t a British or Irish citizen (or doesn’t have settled status), you give notice together.

Where you can marry

Legal ceremonies take place at a register office or on approved premises, including the outdoor grounds of many approved venues.

Humanist and celebrant-led weddings

In England and Wales, a humanist ceremony isn’t a legal wedding yet. The government’s consultation on marriage law reform closed in September 2026, with new legislation promised “when parliamentary time allows.” For now, many couples pair a quick register office signing with the ceremony they really want.

Where couples are saying yes

Our couples have thrown a DIY marina wedding in Greenwich and a dark and moody celebration in a Bristol church.

Questions couples ask

How much notice do we need to give in England?

At least 29 days, at your local register office, after living in the district for 7 days. Your ceremony must happen within 12 months.

Are humanist weddings legal in England?

Not yet. A consultation on marriage law reform closed in September 2026, with legislation expected when parliamentary time allows.

Can we get married outdoors in England?

Legal ceremonies must take place at a register office or approved premises, which can include the outdoor grounds of approved venues.

Can visitors marry in England?

It is tricky, because of the 7-day residency rule and visa requirements. Many couples from overseas choose Scotland instead.

Legal details last checked October 2026 against GOV.UK and Humanists UK.
