Welcome We are delighted that you are considering, or, have chosen to celebrate your marriage or civil partnership registration in Edinburgh and look forward to sharing in the happiness of your special day with you.

This brochure has been designed to assist you with your arrangements and contains information to help you plan your day.

You will find details to help you decide in which of our registration offices you would like your civil ceremony to be held, or have a civil ceremony in an outside venue.

Edinburgh has three registration offices from which you can choose to have your ceremony. These are based at the City Chambers, Leith Registrar’s Office and South Queensferry Registrar’s Office. You will find the contact details and a map showing the location of each office on page 26.

Once you have chosen the registration office in which you would like to hold your ceremony you should contact the registrar to check the availability for the date you require. When we add your booking to our diary a deposit will be required to be paid.

It is your day and we want to make it as special as possible for you. You may choose to have a quiet informal ceremony with just yourselves and your two witnesses. However, you may prefer something more traditional with escorts, guests, readings and music. It all comes down to your own personal choice.

8

City Chambers The historic City Chambers is located on Edinburgh’s iconic Royal Mile. The building was originally built during 1753 – 1761 although most of the interior, including the main Council Chamber, was completed in 1875.

The registrar’s ceremony suite is located just within the main entrance to Edinburgh’s City Chambers.

Ceremony parties and guests will enter through the main entrance where they will be greeted by the registrar and ushered into our classically furbished suite of rooms.

Guests will be shown into the lounge where they will be able to enjoy opulent but comfortable surroundings and a unique skyline view of the city. The room has been decorated to a very high standard with a baroque and thistle theme running throughout. Soft lighting enhances the gold and cream décor.

The registrar will speak to the couple together, or separately, depending on your wishes in the tastefully furnished ante room. This room also has an impressive vanity mirror to allow last minute finishes to hair etc before the ceremony commences.

At the appropriate time guests will be shown into the spectacular ceremony suite. The room has been stylishly decorated in keeping with the iconic City Chambers building but with a modern twist. The theme of baroque and thistle continues with the fabric on the chairs and soft lighting. Soft golden curtains dress the large windows which, along with a classic ornate chandelier, create a calm sophisticated ambiance. The ceremony room can hold a maximum of 36 guests.

For a unique 3D view of the suite please visit https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=P7BVHDq4AcW&help=1&qs=1&ts=3&hr=0&vr=1

After the ceremony has concluded the couple will be invited to sign the register in the ante room.

There is parking permitted for one car within the Quadrangle of the City Chambers for each ceremony taking place. This amount cannot be exceeded at any time. During the month of August no parking is available.

There can be no throwing of confetti or rice etc.

Please note that entrance to the suite cannot be permitted until 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start time.

This suite is not to be confused with the other spectacular rooms that can be hired throughout the City Chambers for receptions and functions.

Should this be of interest to you please contact the City of Edinburgh’s events team on 0131 529 4003 or 4009 or email eventsbookings@edinburgh.cov.uk

Ceremony room at City Chambers

Leith Registration Office – Ceremony Suite The ceremony suite in the Leith Registrar’s Office, 30 Ferry Road, is set in a complex of buildings dating from the 1930s which includes Leith Theatre, Thomas Morton Hall, and the former Leith Town Hall.

There is space within the entrance gates for one car and your guests should be able to park nearby.

However, on street parking is available in the surrounding streets.

The ceremony room can accommodate 40 guests in addition to the couple and their two witnesses. In the interest of safety and comfort you are asked to ensure that this number is not exceeded. There is no standing room.

There are four seats at the front of the room which are positioned for the couple and the two witnesses.

Any additional principals should sit in the row behind.

Your guests will access the ceremony room by an impressive staircase leading to the first floor of the Thomas Morton Hall which opens to a large reception area where they may wait your arrival in comfort.

The beautiful parquet flooring in the waiting area continues into the ceremony room which is decorated in subtle shades corn silk. High back wood and leather chairs with large silk flower arrangements on impressive pedestals add to the character of the ceremony suite.

Silk flower arrangements are positioned throughout the suite to enhance the character of the building.

After the ceremony, the register is signed on a traditional style desk in the ceremony room in the presence of your guests It is important that you discuss with our team should you or any of your party be disabled or have mobility problems.

13

South Queensferry Registrar’s Office The registrar’s office is situated on the cobbled High Street of the historic town of South Queensferry, strategically placed on the seafront with views of all three bridges.

The ceremony takes place in the impressive old council chamber with its beautiful corniced ceiling.

Wood panelling frames the large windows which offer an uninterrupted spectacular view of the River Forth and the iconic three bridges.

High back wood and leather chairs with large silk flower arrangements on impressive pedestals add to the character of the ceremony suite.

After the ceremony, the register is signed on a traditional style desk in the ceremony room in the presence of your guests.

The entrance to the main building has four steps therefore anyone with limited mobility should check suitability before booking.

The picturesque town of South Queensferry offers many local restaurants to celebrate in after your ceremony.

There is a large car park on the seafront at the Forth Rail Bridge, 5 minutes’ walk away.

14

The ceremony You may wish to write certain parts of the ceremony yourself or choose from the options given in the ceremony booklets issued by the registrar. Whatever you choose we will endeavour, where possible, to comply with your wishes.

Our staff are very happy to incorporate any sand blending, handfasting or consider any other ceremony traditions that you may suggest. However, it is extremely important that these requests are discussed at the time of lodging notice.

You will have the opportunity to add readings to the ceremony. Any readings chosen should be carried out by a guest or member of the ceremonial party.

Music is always a lovely way to enhance your ceremony. This may be recorded music or perhaps a live musician. It is customary to have music played while your guests are waiting for the ceremony to begin, perhaps a special piece for the entrance into the ceremony room, a piece as the main parties sign the schedule and a final piece for the official exit from the room. All registration office ceremony rooms are equipped with Bluetooth speakers as well as CD players.

If your ceremony is taking place in the City Chambers please note there is a complete restriction on the playing of bagpipes or any other music in the Quadrangle between Monday – Friday.

When you complete your notice forms you should also fill out a Requirements Form issued by the Registrar.

This form allows the registrar to know what you are planning on the day of your ceremony. This is very important as it is not possible to meet with the registrar prior to the ceremony.

15

Ante room at City Chambers

Ceremony Rooms – Registration Offices All the ceremony rooms in each office have dried or silk flower arrangements. However, you can supply your own fresh flowers if you wish. Please contact the registrar in advance should you wish to provide your own floral display.

Music can be played for the arrival of your guests. If you wish to supply your own CD please hand this in to the registrar before the day of your ceremony. It makes the ceremony flow easier if you have all your ceremony music on one CD. The ceremony rooms are also equipped with Bluetooth speakers should you wish to have music downloaded to a device. Again, it would make things flow if the playing of the music could be the responsibility of a guest.

Photographs may be taken either by a professional photographer or by the guests before the ceremony, at the signing of the register and after the ceremony.

Please ensure that your guests are aware that they cannot throw confetti in or around the registration office as this may contravene the Litter Act and anyone doing so may be fined. .

16

Ceremony in a Registration Office You will be issued with a ‘ceremony requirements’ form along with the notice forms (M10s) that you require at the time of booking. All your preferred options to the above can be recorded on that form.

You have the option to amend as much of what is said at your ceremony to make it more personal to you both. You may wish to write certain parts of the ceremony yourself or choose from the options given in the ‘Civil Ceremony in Edinburgh’ booklet issued by the registrar.

The couple will be seen privately by the registrar before the ceremony begins; this can be carried out by talking to the parties together or individually according to your request. The interview is simply to ensure that the details about to be entered into the register are correct and the content of the ceremony will be explained to you. The registrar will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your ceremony and hopefully alleviate any last-minute nerves. Our friendly efficient team are there to help you on the lead up to your ceremony day and the day itself. Please do not hesitate to ask any question or query you may have.

If you chose to arrive separately to the ceremony please make this known to the registrar before the day.

Should you choose to do this the groom/first partner will speak to the officiating registrar first then they will join the guests. The registrar will then speak to the bride/second partner and ensure that all the guests and groom/partner are in place. The registrar will then begin the ceremony in accordance to your wishes.

At your ceremony you must be accompanied by two witnesses who will also sign the schedule with you. They can be related to you, friends or indeed someone you have just met. They must, however, be aged 16 years or over and capable of understanding the ceremony. If you are having a best man and bridesmaid or principal attendants, it is usual to have them act as your witnesses.

Should either of the couple or their chosen witnesses not be able to understand English then it is your responsibility to provide a suitable translator. Please notify the registration staff if this is the case.

Please discuss your requirements for music with the team. If you are having recorded music then it should be handed into the registration office before the date of the ceremony. Bluetooth speakers are in all rooms and can be utilised to play your own music. It is normal to have some background music whilst your guests wait for the ceremony to begin. The registrar will announce the couple/bride or partner’s entrance into the room again to music. Some background music is normally played when the register is being signed and the couple exit the room as a newly married/ civil partnered couple.

Should you wish to have live music please discuss this request with a member of the registration team who will be happy to advise. However, it is not possible to have bagpipes or any live music played in the Quadrangle of the City Chambers Monday – Friday as it is a working building.

Our staff are very happy to incorporate any sand blending, handfasting or consider any other ceremony traditions that you may suggest. However, it is extremely important that these requests are discussed at the time of lodging notice.

The only parts of the ceremony you cannot omit is the confirmation of the couple’s names, the pronunciation by the registrar and the legal vows, however, you can add wording to the vows if you prefer. If you have chosen to personalise your ceremony you should make sure that those amendments are returned to the registration office either when you lodge notice or at least two weeks before your ceremony.

If you have chosen to have readings at your ceremony the registrar will also need to know the names of the people who will be doing the readings in order that she/he can introduce them at the appropriate time. It is helpful if the readers are sitting at the end of a row to make it easy for them to make their way to the front of the room.

Once the ceremony has been concluded you will be given a few minutes to speak to your guests before you are required to vacate the room.

18

Ceremony in an outside venue The Marriage (Scotland) Act 2002 means that you may have civil ceremony at a venue of your choice such as a hotel. Should you wish your civil ceremony to take place in a venue other than a Registration Office please contact the team at the City Chambers or refer to our website for guidance, booking forms and procedures.

For further information and booking forms please visit http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20271/marriages_and_civil_partnerships/1744/get_married_at_your_own_ venue/1 You will find access to AP1 booking forms which should be completed by the venue and yourselves then submitted to the City Chambers Office with the appropriate fee.

There is the possibility of meeting the celebrant who will be conducting your ceremony prior to the big day.

This will be at a 30 minute meeting normally in the Registration Office at a time that will suit you and the celebrant. There is a fee payable for this service.

The ceremony follows much of the same pattern as a ceremony within a registration office. We encourage couples to put as much of their own input into their ceremony as possible, perhaps using our amended ceremony booklet. Any ceremony traditions you would also like to include e.g. sand blending can be added.

Our experienced Civil Ceremony Celebrant will be available at your chosen venue 30 minutes prior to the start of your ceremony and will discuss any final details with you. Our celebrants are extremely friendly, helpful and also expert at making the most nervous couple feel at ease. They will bring the Schedule with them and return it to our offices.

Music would have to be discussed with venue staff, however, the celebrant will make themselves aware of your preferences prior to starting the ceremony.

Civil Partnership In the case of a registration only the couple and their witnesses will be taken into the room where the registrar will check over all the documents and the signing of the civil partnership schedule will take place.

You also have the option of including in the registration a non-statutory ceremony. We encourage couples to compose their own civil partnership ceremony. You may wish to write certain parts of the ceremony yourself or choose from the options given in the Your Civil Partnership in Edinburgh booklet issued by the registrar.

Our helpful staff would be happy to give you some guidance about what to add into your ceremony should you wish. Perhaps you would like to make some special vows to each other which can be repeated after the registrar or just on your own.

The traditional exchanging of rings can be added or perhaps you would prefer to just exchange a gift.

A guide to marriage and civil partnership in Scotland In Scotland you can be married in the following ways: A religious or belief system ceremony which is carried out by a minister, clergyman, pastor, priest or other person entitled to do so under the Marriage (Scotland) Act 1977.

A civil marriage which is carried out only by a registrar or an assistant registrar who has been authorised by the Registrar General for Scotland.

A civil partnership registration only can only be carried out by a registrar or assistant registrar; however a civil partnership ceremony can be carried out by a registrar and certain appointed religious bodies and belief systems.

Should you already be in an existing civil partnership you can have the option to convert the partnership to a marriage. Please contact the registration staff for further details.

22

To be married or have a civil partnership in Scotland you must: Both complete and sign the necessary forms (M10 or CP10) required for marriage/civil partnership.

These can be downloaded from http://www.nrscotland.gov.uk/registration/getting-married-in-scotland If you are subject to immigration laws please consult http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/ while-in-uk/marriageandcivilpartnership/ for information on any further documentation or forms you may have to submit.

A signed M10 or CP10 form is only valid for three months. Ideally the forms should be submitted to the registrar in whose district you are having your ceremony about 8 – 10 weeks prior to your ceremony. The minimum time for lodging these forms is 29 days prior to your ceremony, but, should you be subject to immigration laws the Home Office reserve the right to extend the minimum period of notice to 70 days should they wish to investigate.

The relevant documentation includes both birth certificates, proof of termination of a previous marriage or civil partnership, passports if you were born in or after 1983, proof of address and the relevant document from your own country if you have lived in the UK for less than two years (certificate of no impediment).

The relevant fees will require to be paid at the time of lodging notice http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/ downloads/download/164/fees You can submit your forms and documents by either posting them to the registrar’s office or you can make an appointment at a time that suits you to call in.

23

You will require to bring along two witnesses who are 16 years of age or over to be present at your wedding/civil partnership who must be able to understand the nature of the ceremony.

You may have many more questions regarding the legalities or the ceremony. Please do not hesitate to contact any of our helpful staff who will be happy to help.

Once you make a booking you will be forwarded an email which has links to all the information and forms that you will require.

The member of our team who takes your booking will gladly go over the documentation you will be required to submit, along with the relevant notice form for each party. This will be submitted to the office you have chosen to have your ceremony in or the city chambers office if you are having your ceremony in a venue.

There are strict timescales when the lodging of these forms must be carried out. The minimum period for lodging notice is 29 days however, due to Home Office regulations, when one or both parties are subject to Immigration laws the Home Office has the power to extend the notice period to 71 days. When booking the registrar will advise whether you will be subject to a possible extension of the notice period.

The maximum period is three months beforehand.

Any original documentation you submit will be returned to you apart from Certificates of No Impediment to marry.

24

Your ceremony cannot go ahead unless you have lodged your notice forms and all relevant documents and fees are with the registrar within the correct timescale.

Please contact our team immediately if you are in any doubt about what is expected to be produced with your completed M10 or CP10 forms – we are here to give assistance at all times.

Practical advice Please make sure all the forms and documents are lodged within the legal time frames. Failing to do so could mean postponement or cancellation of your ceremony. Please ensure that all fees have been paid prior to the day of the ceremony.

Please ensure that you or your guests do not arrive too early for the ceremony – our advice would be no more than 15 minutes prior to the ceremony start time. There could be another ceremony taking place before your own and therefore access to the suites may not be possible.

We cannot accommodate any more guests than already published for each room. Please do not exceed these amounts. There is no standing room.

We wish couples to have adequate time in each of the ceremony rooms before and after the wedding/ civil partnership. However, there may be a ceremony after yours, therefore the registrar will indicate when the room should be vacated. Also, please make sure that you are not late for your ceremony as there could be another scheduled to take place after yours. If you are late it could mean your ceremony having to be re-scheduled to another time or date.

There can be no smoking in any of the buildings where our ceremony suites are located. Additionally, there can be no smoking in the Quadrangle of the City Chambers.

Please contact any member of our team with any question regarding your ceremony – we are here to help.
