Your ceremony, your way

In Kensington and Chelsea, we believe in giving couples the ceremony of their dreams: your ceremony, your way.

Whether it’s a big ceremony or small, you can customise your ceremony to exactly how you’ve dreamed it.

Celebrants

Our celebrant service offers you personalised service with an allocated member of staff who will guide you through every step of your journey with Kensington and Chelsea, from booking, to the day itself. We’ll be on hand to answer questions, guide you through options and ensure your day is smooth and memorable.

You can choose one of our experienced celebrants to come and conduct your ceremony anywhere in London, not just in Kensington and Chelsea.

Non-licensed venues

Legal ceremonies must take place in licensed venues, but we can conduct a non-legal ceremony for you in any non-licensed venue or location, including outdoors. We can also make the ceremony legal by ensuring a marriage or civil partnership registration alongside this. Perhaps you’ve dreamed of getting married in a park, or by the river. Maybe your dream ceremony will happen on a boat. Whatever your dream venue, contact us today to discuss your personalised ceremony.

Special occasions

It’s not just marriages and civil partnerships that we specialise in. We also offer naming ceremonies, renewal and reaffirmation of vows and commitment ceremonies. If there is a special occasion such as a 16th birthday, anniversary or even a pet’s birthday, our experienced celebrants can help you celebrate.

Special rituals

Contact us today to discuss the non-religious rituals we can incorporate into your ceremony. From hand fasting and jumping the broom, to tree planting, we will work with you to personalise your special day.

Working with your team

Your personal assistant, wedding planner of staff can be confident of establishing a strong working relationship with Kensington and Chelsea Register Office. We have great experience of working with external staff to create a strong team to make your special day a reality. Your staff and planners will have a named contact who will guide your ceremony journey from start to finish.

Small ceremonies followed by a party

If you want to have a small Register Office legal ceremony followed by a larger non-legal ceremony, contact us to plan your ceremony.

Personalised ceremonies

We recognise that everyone is an individual, with their own ideas about what their ceremony will entail. We will help you celebrate with the touches that are personal and special to you. We have carefully curated packages chosen by experts and specialists to fit your personal needs, so if you’re stuck for inspiration, contact us to help guide you.
