Venue licence fees
Venue licence fees
The fees to register a marriage venue vary, dependent on the capacity of the venue.
Once approved, licences for marriage venues are valid for 3 years.
The fees include all costs, including advertising.
The licence covers holding a civil marriage and/or the registration of a civil partnership.
For non-religious venues, the licence does not cover holding religious ceremonies on your premises. Your licence could be cancelled if you hold religious ceremonies on a part of the premises approved for civil weddings or civil partnerships.
