Can I choose a specific registrar? Can my friend conduct my ceremony? 

Your ceremony needs to be conducted by a Westminster registrar or a registrar currently working in another district. 

We have a very diverse workforce in Westminster that reflects our community and we celebrate and are proud of this. We will not consider requests to allocate specific registrars or change registrars based on individual characteristics, gender, race or sexual orientation.

Whilst we are happy to consider a request for a registrar that you have spoken with whilst making enquiries, it may not always be possible for them to attend your ceremony based on work patterns or leave etc. Please be assured that all of our registrars would be delighted to be a part of your celebrations and will deliver your ceremony with utmost professionalism.

When will I hear from my registrar? How can I let them know my ceremony choices?

Your registrar will be in touch within 4 days of your ceremony once the staffing rota has been finalised and the registrar conducting your ceremony has been assigned. You can let them know your ceremony choices by completing this form ahead of your registrar making contact.

Can we offer a token of thanks to our registrars?

Whilst we are very grateful for gifts of appreciation you may wish to give us, we are unable to accept them as a matter of council policy. 

We would prefer for you to share your special memories with us in the form of photos. Be sure to let us know if you would be happy with images being shared on our social media platforms.
