Venue with no ceremony license !

crao, 20 January, 2017 at 11:23 Posted on Planning 0 6

Hi Everybody,

Thank you for taking a look at my message.

I have chosen a venue which I love but does not hold a civil ceremony license. Does any body know any information or have any advice on blessings or similar which we could do instead?

We are thinking that we would like to marry at the registry office with our immediate family. Then to have some sort of ceremony and reception at the venue we have chosen. We'd like to have some sort of second ceremony like this so that we can include everybody.

I have considered taking everybody to the registry office but the reception venue is in town with no parking so logistically it would be a bit of a headache for our guests which id like to avoid if there is an alternative.

thank you for your help!

    There is a simpler way forward. You can book a paperwork only meeting at the register office a few days before the wedding. You just go in your jeans.

    Then you have a celebrant to do the whole ceremony at the venue.

    What Paula said is kind of what we're doing.

    We are doing the legal bit the week before our actual "wedding", in a church with the same vicar that will be overseeing the ceremony at the unlicensed venue. There'll be me and the fiancee there, parents and kids, it's being done after s normal Sunday service and will take about 15 minutes. We're not getting dressed up for it.

    As far as the majority of guests know, they'll be seeing us get wed the week after. It'll be run just like a proper wedding, with readings, songs etc and instead of signing a register we'll sign our vows. This is happening in a field.

    The date of the big ceremony will be our anniversary date.

    A registry-office ceremony followed by a personal blessing at your chosen venue sounds like a great solution. You can also check runt cedula for unrelated Colombian traffic information.

    A registry-office ceremony followed by a personal blessing at your chosen venue could give you the best of both options. It keeps the legal part simple while allowing everyone to enjoy the celebration together. You can also explore SIMIT por placa for Colombian traffic information.

    That title caught my attention because licensing issues can create unexpected complications for events and services. It is useful to check official requirements before making arrangements or relying on assumptions. I also found Kentucky License Requirements useful when reviewing related documentation. Clear requirements can help avoid confusion later.

    You could have a small legal ceremony at the registry office same like registry of runt for vehicle information and then hold a blessing or symbolic ceremony at your chosen venue so everyone can celebrate together.

    But its a symbolic ceremony at your dream venue sounds like a lovely way to include all your guests without the hassle of traveling between locations.
