making plans

Giving Notice If you have decided that you would like your civil ceremony to take place in a Lincolnshire Registration Office or at a Lincolnshire Licensed Venue and have selected a date for your ceremony, we suggest that you make a provisional booking with the venue and then contact our Customer Service Centre as soon as possible on 01522 782244. Our Ceremony Co-ordinator will be able to check to see if our Registration Officers are available to attend your ceremony on the selected date and time and make a provisional booking in the diary. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have booked the venue and the Registration Officers to attend on your ceremony day. The legal ceremony will not be able to go ahead without the Registration Officers. You may give Notice up to one year before the date of your ceremony. An appointment to give your Notices will need to be made by contacting our Customer Service Centre on 01522 782244.

Questions and Answers You need to decide if you would like a religious ceremony or a civil ceremony. I would like a religious marriage Church of England – contact the vicar of the parish where one or both of you reside(s). The Registration Service is not normally involved. Other denominations – first, contact your minister or priest etc. One or both of you must reside in the registration district where the church is situated or it must be the usual place of worship of one or both of you. Notice of intention to marry (when each party makes a legal declaration of particulars about themselves before the Registration Officer) must be given by both parties. No one can do this

• Mock up signings will take place after the ceremony and official signing, allowing the official/ nominated photographer and guests to take photographs • Consideration for the dignity and solemnity of the occasion will always be paramount • The duty staff will always make the final decision on what is permitted within these policy guidelines.

Insurance Amid all the excitement, there is one consideration that may be forgotten - insurance. You may well be spending a lot of money on your special day and you would surely not want to risk losing everything. Just think - your suppliers may go out of business and your deposits could be lost - what if the transport doesn’t turn up or the cake and flowers don’t appear - or the photographer lets you down through illness or a simple mistake in booking?

There may be an accident on your big day - breakages, or even damage to your beautiful dress. Insurance can even cover the cancellation of your ceremony. This may happen through no fault of your own, such as illness or the death of someone close. These are considerations which may be far from your mind in the flurry of plans but they are well worth discussing with your family - put it on your list!

passports etc.

Formalities If you are going to change your name after your ceremony, then one of the documents that you can change in advance of the big day itself is your British passport. This can be amended up to three months in advance of your ceremony day. You will need to complete a form PD2 and you can get this: • By downloading the form as a PDF file from www.direct.gov.uk • From Post Office branches that offer the Check and Send Passport Service • From any Regional Passport Office • By telephoning Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) General Enquiries on 0300 222 0000 and the form will be posted to you. Part of the form should be completed by you and then the whole form sent to the Registration Office that will be conducting your ceremony for confirmation that the ceremony is booked to take place. The leaflet PD1 explains this in more detail. The PD1 is a leaflet entitled ‘Passports for newly weds and civil partners’. What you must also remember is that any name used for travel booking or tickets etc. must be the same as that shown in the passport you will be using to travel.

ENHANCED CEREMONY Your ceremony may be as simple or as elaborate as you wish. Licensed Venues can provide the perfect setting for themed ceremonies with their different backgrounds in history and architectural styles. Perhaps you see yourself dressed in the 18th century style, or maybe you see your guests enjoying the traditional ceremony breakfast on the terrace of a country house? We do not want to rush your ceremony, nor be forced to postpone it, so please ensure you and your guests arrive on time. Remember there may be traffic delays or a photo call before the ceremony.

Many of the Licensed Venues are set amidst beautiful landscapes, lakes and pretty gardens or within close proximity to the Lincolnshire coastline and beaches providing exceptional backdrops for your photographs. A number of visitors to Lincolnshire also incorporate their marriage or civil partnership celebrations into an annual holiday for themselves, their family and friends. For more information, visit www.visitlincolnshire.com Some venues offer a range of accommodation for you and your guests to stay in before, during and after the ceremony day. The events organiser in each of the venues will be delighted to discuss the various arrangements that can be made to make your stay even more memorable.

A Celebratory ceremony has no legal status, so you can choose whether or not to organise one. The celebration and any written record of the ceremony cannot be used as proof of identification and neither is the ceremony legally binding on those who participate. A Celebratory ceremony is secular and will have no religious content. Lincolnshire County Council would like to stress that the above ceremonies are offered as an alternative to a religious service and anyone considering, for example, a baptism, a religious blessing, a religious funeral or memorial ceremony, are encouraged to do so.
