The Ceremony & The Registrar

With effect from 1st October 2013, the Swansea Registration Service has changed its booking procedures for Civil Marriages and Civil Partnership Ceremonies. Couples are now able to secure a booking up to two years in advance of their chosen date. All details relating to the solemnisation of ceremonies will be discussed with the registrar. Certain legal requirements will need to be discussed with the registrar and complied with. This will take place between yourselves and the registrar. The King Arthur Hotel takes no responsibility for the organisation of the service and will accept no responsibility for any charges incurred between yourselves and the registrar.

The ceremony must be a civil service, any readings, music or words which form part of the ceremony must be non-religious. No food or beverage may be consumed in the ceremony one and half hours before, during and after the ceremony. The staff at the Swansea Register Office are available to offer advice and assistance on both Civil Ceremonies and Civil Partnership Ceremonies. For more information go their website.
