Tying the Knot: Celebrating Love and Union

Planning your Wedding/Civil Partnership?

Here are a few straightforward steps to help you organize your wedding or civil partnership in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Follow this order to ensure a smooth process.

Discover your ideal life partner - sorry, we can't assist you in this department!

Choose the location for your wedding/civil partnership ceremony. If you opt for the Maidenhead Ceremony Room at the Town Hall in Maidenhead, move on to step 3. For any other venue, including the Guildhall in Windsor, please contact the venue directly to provisionally book your desired date and time before reaching out to us.

Use our convenient online booking form below to book the registrars for your ceremony. For the latest pricing information, refer to our ceremony fees page.

Notify the registrars in your area of residence about your intention to marry by completing the necessary legal documentation. Remember, you must make an appointment at the register office in your district. This step must be completed at least one month in advance of your ceremony. If one of you is a non-UK/Irish citizen or a European Union citizen without Settled or Pre-Settled status, consult the gov.uk website for detailed guidelines.

Complete and return the ceremony checklist included in your confirmation pack.

Tie the knot with the person mentioned in step 1! We are more than happy to help. Have a truly remarkable day!
