Discretionary fees

Fees for Discretionary ceremonies and how to pay them, including naming, renewal of vows, commitment and celebration.

We offer a number of discretionary ceremonies and although these carry no legal status they are a wonderful way to celebrate special life events.

These ceremonies can take place in almost any location of your choice, it does not have to be a Registration Ceremony Suite or Approved Venue, and whatever the reason for your celebration, our professional celebrant Registrars can help you.

Venues not licenced for Civil Ceremonies

If your chosen special place is not already a venue licenced for civil ceremonies we can undertake a risk assessment and advise appropriately. You may need to obtain permission for a ‘public gathering’ or hire the space from the local council.

Please complete an enquiry form, we will then contact you to discuss your options.
