What time do I need to be available to meet with my registrars pre-ceremony?

If you would prefer to be seen separately by your registrars we ask that one of you is available to meet them 30 minutes before the start time of your ceremony and the other is available to meet them 15 minutes before. If your preference is to meet with your registrars together, we ask that you both be available 30 minutes before your ceremony start time to complete the legal preliminaries.

What time can our guests enter the ceremony room?

Your guests may be seated in the ceremony room 30 minutes before your ceremony start time. If you have a particular preference for seating arrangements, please ensure you advise your guests accordingly. 

Do we/our witnesses need to bring ID on the day of our ceremony?

You do not need to bring anything on the day and neither do your witnesses.

Your witnesses need to speak and understand English, and ideally should be over the age of 16. They can be friends, family members or strangers. You must supply your own witnesses – Westminster Register Office staff cannot act as witnesses.
