Approved marriage and civil partnership venues

Book your ceremony at an approved venue

If your wedding ceremony is at one of the approved venues:

  • Your ceremony will be conducted by staff from the Rochdale Register Office and will be a civil ceremony rather than a religious one.
  • The ceremony will be similar to that in the Register office.
  • You will also be able to enhance your ceremony in the same way, including the addition of music readings and being walked into the ceremony in the traditional way. 
  • If you decide to get married at a licensed venue, you should first contact the venue to ensure that the time and date is available and that the package cost is acceptable to you and your partner
  • You should then contact the Registrar responsible for the area in which the venue is located.  If the venue is in the Rochdale borough, you should contact Rochdale Register Office.

Book your ceremony

If you're getting married at one of the approved venues listed, we will conduct your ceremony.

You'll need to provisionally book your ceremony to secure your date and time.

You can make a provisional booking up to 2 years in advance of the ceremony.
