As an alternative to the district offices, it's possible to hold ceremonies in a wide variety of licensed venues throughout the country, these vary from hotel venues, stately homes or rustic barns and offer choices of style to suit your needs.

If you decide to book a ceremony in one of these venues, you should first contrac thte Superintendent Registrar for the district in which the venue is situated, to ensure that registration officers are available to attend on the date and at the time you prefer.

An atendance fee, which will be advised of at the time of your initial enquiry, is payable one month before your ceremony. The fee guarantees the officers attendance on the day of the ceremony and includes a formal planning meeting to discuss the format of your ceremony.
