Introduction 

Welcome to Richmond upon Thames, this most 

historic London borough. 

In 1501, Henry VII named Richmond after his favourite 

Yorkshire earldom. The gateway to his palace, also 

favoured by Elizabeth I still remains on Richmond Green. 

Richmond Bridge is the oldest London bridge across 

the river Thames and the view from Richmond Hill 

along the river is protected by an act of parliament. 

Richmond Park, the favourite hunting grounds of 

James 1 and his son Charles, still has large herds of red 

and fallow deer roaming freely. The park is also home 

to the internationally acclaimed Royal Ballet School. 

Richmond is also home to the Rugby Football Union 

headquarters at Twickenham, known throughout the 

world as the heart of rugby. 

Hampton Court Palace, Henry VIII’s favourite home, 

with it’s 1000 rooms, formal gardens and world 

famous maze is situated within the borough of 

Richmond. Nearby Bushy Park is one of Richmond’s 3 

royal parks, the other two being Home Park and 

Richmond Park. 

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew contain 40,000 

species of plants and 9000 trees. The national archive 

is also based in Kew where the Public Record Office 

holds 900 years of historical records including the 

Domesday Book.

Along the river from Kew is Mortlake, the finishing 

point of the annual University boat race. 

Richmond upon Thames is the only London borough 

that has the river Thames flowing through its heart 

rather than forming a boundary. 

As well as being a truly historic wonderland, 

Richmond is also a modern thriving town with a 

bustling town centre, theatres, numerous restaurants, 

hotels, galleries and venues of all descriptions. 

Richmond Register Office is a grade II listed building 

and boasts the highest tree in the borough. 

All in all Richmond offers the ideal location for a 

wedding. Whether you want a low-key private 

ceremony or a more elaborate affair, Richmond can 

satisfy your needs. We have many licensed venues and 

our own lovely Register Office to cater for your 

individual needs. 


Registration Service 

Whatever your needs, the staff at 1 Spring Terrace are 

here to help and guide you through every detail to 

ensure you have a wonderful, personal day. We will 

advise you about music, readings, formats, and 

wording. Our large team of marriage registrars are 

confident and experienced, and expert at putting you 

at your ease. We will also offer you an exclusive 

Richmond certificate to commemorate your day. 

Richmond Registration Service has achieved both 

Charter Mark and Investors in People accreditations.

Legal Preliminaries 

Civil Ceremonies 

You can marry in any Register Office or Licensed Venue 

of your choice anywhere in England or Wales. At a 

Licensed Venue, Registrars from the local Register 

Office will attend to conduct and register the ceremony. 

The first thing you need to do is decide on a venue. You 

then need to check the availability of the venue on the 

date of your choice. If you want to marry at a Licensed 

Venue you will also need to check with the local 

Register Office to see if the Registrars are available. You 

may need to be flexible over the time of your ceremony. 

Once you have selected your venue and checked the 

availability of the Registrars you need to ‘give notice’. 

This is the term used for the legal preliminaries. Both 

parties need to give notice, in person, in the Register 

Office of the district in which they live. If either one of 

you is subject to immigration control you must both 

give your notices in a designated Register Office, this 

may not be in your district of residence. Richmond is 

not a designated Register Office. You must be resident 

for at least seven days prior to giving notice. You can 

attend together but you each need to give your details 

individually. Your notices will be displayed on a notice 

board in the Register Office for 15 days. You cannot 

give any less notice than this. At the end of the notice 

period the Superintendent Registrar will issue 

authorities in respect of each notice. If you are 

marrying in your own district the Superintendent 

Registrar will keep your authorities with your 

paperwork. If you are marrying outside your district 

you will need to collect your authorities from your 

local office and take them to the office that will be 

dealing with your ceremony. You cannot be married 


without this paperwork. Notice MUST be given at least 

16 days before the date of the wedding. 

You can give your notice up to a year in advance of the 

day of the ceremony. 

Notices are ‘venue specific’ - if you change your venue 

you must each give fresh notices. 

Religious Ceremonies 

If you are marrying in a Church of England or Church 

in Wales you will need to talk to the vicar, he/she will 

advise you about what you need to do. 

If you are marrying within any other denomination 

you will need to give notice (see Civil Ceremonies) at 

your local Register Office. 

You first need to get permission from the minister or 

governing body of the Church. Some Churches need 

the attendance of a Registrar at each ceremony but 

some have an ‘authorised person’ who acts in the role 

of Registrar. If you need the attendance of a Registrar 

you will need to book them as far in advance as 

possible. 

When you have given the notice and it has been 

displayed on the board you will need to collect your 

authorities from the Register Office and deliver them 

to the Minister. He/she cannot marry you without 

these documents.

Documents You 

Need To Produce 

When you attend the Register Office to give your notice 

you will each need to bring the statutory fee (see p10). 

You will also need to bring identification documents 

and evidence of your nationality. The best document 

for this is your passport. If you do not have a passport 

you will need to bring your full birth certificate. 

If you are subject to immigration control you may also 

need a certificate of approval from the Home Office. 

If you have changed your name by deed poll, change of 

name deed or statutory declaration you will need to 

bring it with you. 

If you are a widow or widower you will need to bring 

the death certificate of your late husband/wife. 

If you have been divorced you will need to bring your 

decree absolute. 

If you were divorced outside the UK you will need to 

bring your final divorce papers together with an 

English translation. 

If your last marriage was annulled we may also need to 

see your decree nisi. 

You must also produce two examples of evidence of 

your address. 

All the documents you bring must be original, 

photocopies are not accepted. 

A 

Richmond Wedding 

Whether you choose one of our many Licensed Venues 

or 1 Spring Terrace, you can enhance your ceremony 

with music, readings and personal vows. 

We have a selection of music and readings available at 

1 Spring Terrace but of course you may like to provide 

your own. 

A civil ceremony can contain no religious connotations 

whatsoever and you will need to bear this in mind 

when selecting your music and readings. 

You will find a list of our Licensed Venues at the back 

of this brochure.

1 Spring Terrace 

1 Spring Terrace is set within half an acre of grounds 

and is a grade two listed building. Our beautiful airconditioned 

ceremony room in muted greens and 

yellows is the ideal venue for a dignified intimate 

ceremony. We can accommodate 40 people and have 

beautiful fresh flowers which will enhance your 

photographs and atmosphere. We have a comfortable 

elegant waiting room with French doors that lead out 

to our secluded garden, including the very private 

‘secret garden’. 

There is a large public car park just 70 yards from the 

door and we have a paved front area ideal for ‘confetti 

shots’ underneath the highest tree in Richmond. We 

can also offer you an exclusive Richmond certificate to 

commemorate your ceremony. 

1 Spring Terrace Saturdays 

We are delighted to offer enhanced ceremonies on 

Saturdays. Each ceremony is afforded a longer time slot 

relieving our couples of the feeling of ‘rush’. Brides can 

make a separate entrance, on fathers’ arm perhaps, 

couples can have extra readings and spend more time 

taking photographs. Fees are paid in advance. 

1 Spring Terrace Weekdays 

All weekday Spring Terrace ceremonies will follow the 

standard Spring Terrace format i.e Bride and Groom 

enter the room together, one reading etc. Ceremonies 

are set at 30 minute intervals. 

1 Spring Terrace Sundays 

We offer four ceremonies per day during June, July, 

August and September. These ceremonies are very 

popular so you need to book early. 

6

Important 

Information 

If you are marrying at 1 Spring Terrace but giving 

your notice elsewhere you must tell your local Registrar 

that the venue is 1 Spring Terrace, Richmond not 

Richmond Register Office! 

Provisional Bookings 

In Richmond you can make a provisional booking for 

1 Spring Terrace or Licensed Venue by telephone, letter, 

fax or e-mail. 

We will then send you information and advise you to 

give notice. We will keep the provisional booking for a 

limited period. The booking is only confirmed when 

you give your notices. 

If you give your notices in another district they will 

notify us and your booking will be confirmed. 

If you do not give notice within the given period we 

will cancel your booking. 

This is not always the same in other Register Offices 

and you may find you need to attend in person to 

make a provisional booking, or give your notices 

before you make a booking. 

On The Day 


Whether you are marrying in a Licensed Venue or at 1 

Spring Terrace you will need to see the Registrar prior 

to the ceremony. The Registrar will check all your 

details and make a note of any changes. (You may have 

had a birthday, moved house or changed job since you 

gave the notice). The Registrar will also ask for each of 

your father’s full names and occupations. 

If you are marrying at 1 Spring Terrace on a week day 

you will also need to pay the statutory fee. For this 

reason we ask you to arrive 15 minutes before the time 

of your ceremony. 

Whilst you are being interviewed your guests will 

assemble in the ceremony room to await your arrival. 

If you are marrying at a Licensed Venue your fees will 

already have been paid. The Registrar will take this 

opportunity to double check your ceremony format 

such as confirming the names of your witnesses, 

readers, readings etc. 


7

Ceremony 

The Superintendent Registrar will talk to you before 

the ceremony to check your requirements. 

You will each need to repeat the declaratory and 

contracting words, which have been in use since 1837, 

when the Registration Service began. These words are: 

“I do solemnly declare that I know not of any lawful 

impediment why I … may not be joined in matrimony to 

…” 

and 

“I call upon these persons here present to witness that I 

… do take thee … to be my lawful wedded 

husband/wife” 

There are shorter versions of these words available; 

please ask the Superintendent Registrar for further details. 

Music 

Your music will be playing while your guests are being 

seated and when you make your entrance, and again 

when you are signing the register, taking photographs 

and making your exit. For Spring Terrace ceremonies 

your music will need to be contained on one single CD. 

Rings 


You can elect to have your wedding ring(s) on a 

cushion (at a Licensed Venue), presented by yourselves 

or a member of your party. Please note: There is no ring 

cushion at 1 Spring Terrace. 

Vows/Readings 

You can include personal vows to each other and also 

invite a member of your party to give a reading (one 

reading at 1 Spring Terrace (but see 1 Spring Terrace 

Saturdays and Sundays) and up to three at a venue). 

Remember that your reading can have no religious 

connotations and cannot be from Khalil Gibran’s 

‘The Prophet’. 

Our optional vows/promises and a selection of readings 

are at the end of this brochure. 

Video 

You can ask a member of your party to video your 

entire ceremony from the moment you make your 

entrance. The video will need to be entirely battery 

operated and not require any extra lighting. We ask the 

video operator to remain in one position throughout 

the ceremony and not to move around the room, as 

this can be distracting both to the bride and groom as 

well as to the guests. 

Confetti 

We are quite happy with confetti and ask your guests to 

throw the confetti at the front of the building rather 

than in the garden, which we like to keep tidy for the 

benefit of all our couples. Each Licenced Venue has its 

own rules regarding confetti.

Photography 

All photographs in 1 Spring Terrace are to be taken at 

the end of the ceremony rather than during the 

ceremony itself. We will give you plenty of time to take 

all the photographs you want at the end of the ceremony. 

Dress 

There is no dress code for weddings and couples may 

choose to wear the full white gowns and morning suits 

or even shorts and tee shirts. Most couples however do 

dress smartly for the ceremony, as do the Registrars. 

Entrance 

For 1 Spring Terrace ceremonies, bride and groom 

enter the ceremony room together (but see 1 Spring 

Terrace Saturdays). For Licensed Venue ceremonies the 

bride can make a separate entrance, as well as being 

“given away”. 

Witnesses 

You must provide two credible witnesses who must 

both be able to speak and understand English although 

English does not have to be their first language. They 

can be relatives if you wish. The Registration staff 

cannot act as witnesses nor can they provide witnesses 

for you. You must arrange for your own witnesses. 

Guests 

The ceremony room in 1 Spring Terrace has a fire and 

safety certificate for a maximum of 40 people and we 

cannot exceed this. Please ensure your guests are 

aware of this as we have the comfort and safety of your 

guests uppermost in our minds at all times. With this 

Photo courtesy of Desi Fontaine Studios 

in mind we will have to ask extra guests to remain 

outside the building as all our corridors and fire exits 

must be kept clear at all times. 

Commemorative Certificate 

Here at Richmond we offer an exclusive marriage 

certificate incorporating the Richmond coat of arms 

and showing the bride and grooms names, the date 

and place of the ceremony as well as the witnesses 

names. If you would like a commemorative certificate 

you must remember to include your witnesses 

names with your request. 


9

Fees 

Fees for Licensed Venues and Spring Terrace Saturdays 

and Sundays need to be paid in advance, 

approximately 6 weeks before the ceremony. You can 

do this in person or by post. If you are paying by 

cheque you will need to send two separate cheques. 

One for the ceremony and a separate cheque for your 

certificate(s). If you are paying your fees in person you 

may also pay by switch or debit card. Unfortunately 

this is not possible for postal payments. 

Fees for 1 Spring Terrace Monday to Friday ceremonies 

are paid on the day of the ceremony either by cheque 

or cash (see above Saturdays). Unfortunately we 

cannot accept credit/debit cards on the day. All 

cheques should be made payable to ‘The London 

Borough of Richmond upon Thames’.

Notes 


The information in this brochure is only intended as a 

guide and not a full statement of the law. Please telephone 

or email the Richmond Register Office for any advice. 

Book well in advance to secure the date and time you 

want. Remember you can book up to a year in advance. 

You must give notice at least 16 days before the date of 

the ceremony. 

A notice of marriage is valid for one year from the date 

it is given. You both have to give notice. If you live in 

different districts you each have to attend your local 

office. If either one of you is subject to immigration 

control, you must both give notice at a designated 

Register Office. 

Make sure your documents are originals not photocopies. 

Remember a civil ceremony can have no religious 

connotations. 

We welcome your comments so please feel free to give 

us feedback. 

We are constantly trying to improve our services and we 

can only do this with your help. Don’t forget we are here 

to help you – any queries – please phone or e-mail us.

Readings 

An Apache Indian Prayer 

May the sun bring you new energy by day; 

May the moon softly restore you by night, 

May the rain wash away your worries 

And the breeze blow new strength into your being. 

All the days of your life may you walk gently 

through the world and know its beauty. 

Now you will feel no rain, 

For each of you will be shelter for the other. 

Now you will feel no cold, 

For each of you will be warmth for the other. 

Now there will be no more loneliness, 

For each of you will be companion for the other. 

Now you are two persons, 

But there are three lives before you: 

His life, her life, and your life together. 

Go now to your dwelling place 

To enter into the long days of your life together. 

May beauty surround you both 

In the journey ahead through all the years. 

May happiness be your companion 

To the place where the river meets the sun, 

And may your days together 

Be good and long upon this earth. 

A Marriage, Mark Twain 

A marriage makes of two fractional lives a whole, 

It gives two purposeless lives a work, 

and doubles the strength of each to perform it. 

It gives to two questioning natures a reason for 

living and something to live for. 

It will give new gladness to the sunshine, 

a new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to 

the earth and a new mystery to life. 

A Walled Garden 

Photo courtesy of G. Thorburn 

“Your marriage”, he said, “should have within it a secret 

and protected place, open to you alone. 

Imagine it to be a walled garden, entered by a door to 

which only you have the key. 

Within this garden you will cease to be a mother, father, 

employee, homemaker or any other roles which you fulfil 

in daily life. 

Here you are yourselves, two people who love each other. 

Here you can concentrate on one another’s needs”, 

So take my hand and let us go back to our garden. 

The time we spend together is not wasted but invested. 

Invested in our future and the nurture of our love. 

Extract from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin 

(The advice a father gives his daughter when she is 

thinking about marriage) Louis de Berniere 

Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like a volcano and 

then it subsides. And when it subsides you have to make 

a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have 

so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you 

should ever part. Because this is what love is. 

Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not 

the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not 

the desire to mate every second minute of the day. No, 

don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just 

being ‘in love’ which any fool can do. Love itself is what 

is left over when being ‘in love’ has burned away, and this 

is both an art and a fortunate accident. 

Your mother and I had it. We had roots that grew towards 

each other underground, and when all the pretty 

blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we 

were one tree not two. But sometimes the petals fall away 

and the roots have not entwined. Imagine giving up your 

home and your people, only to discover that after six 

months, a year, three years, that the trees have no roots 

and have fallen over. 

Imagine the desolation. Imagine the imprisonment.

After the Lunch, 

Wendy Cope 

On Waterloo Bridge, where we said our goodbyes, 

The weather conditions bring tears to my eyes. 

I wipe them away with a black woolly glove 

And try not to notice I’ve fallen in love. 

On Waterloo Bridge I am trying to think: 

This is nothing. You’re high on charm and drink. 

But the jukebox inside me is playing a song 

That says something different and when was it wrong? 

On Waterloo Bridge with the wind in my hair 

I am tempted to skip. You’re a fool. I don’t care. 

The head does it’s best but the heart is the boss – 

I admit it before I am halfway across. 

I carry your heart with me, 

e. e. cummins 

I carry your heart with me 

(I carry it in my heart) 

I am never without it 

(anywhere I go you go, my dear; 

and whatever is done by only me 

is your doing, my darling) 

I fear no fate 

(for you are my fate, my sweet) 

I want no world 

(for beautiful you are my world, my true) 

and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant 

and whatever a sun will always sing is you 

here is the deepest secret nobody knows 

(here is the root of the root and the sky of the sky of a 

tree called life, 

which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can 

hide) 

and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart. 

I carry your heart 

(I carry it in my heart) 

The First Day, Christina Rossetti 

I wish I could remember the first day, 

first hour, first moment of your meeting me, 

If bright or dim the season, it might be 

summer or winter for aught I can say, 

so unrecorded did it slip away. 

So blind was I to see and foresee, 

so dull to mark the budding of my tree 

that would not blossom yet for many a May. 

If only I could recollect it, such 

a day of days! I let it come and go 

as traceless as a thaw of bygone snow; 

It seemed to mean so little, meant so much; 

If only now I could recall that touch, 

first touch of hand in hand – did one but know! 

I knew that I had been touched by love 

I knew that I had been touched by love the first 

time that I saw you, and felt your warmth and 

heard your laughter. 

I knew that I had been touched by love when I was 

hurting from something that happened, and you came 

along and made the hurt go away. 

I knew that I had been touched by love when I quit 

making plans with my friends and starting Dreaming 

dreams with you. 

I knew that I had been touched by love when suddenly I 

couldn’t make any decisions by myself any more, and I 

had the strong desire to share everything with you. 

I knew that I had been touched by love the first time we 

spent alone together, and I knew that I wanted to stay 

with you forever because - I had never felt this touched 

by love. 

Sonnet from the Portuguese, 

Elizabeth Barrett Browning 

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. 

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height 

my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight 

for the ends of being and ideal grace. 

I love thee to the level of every day’s most quiet 

need, by sun and candlelight. 

I love thee freely, as men strive for right, 

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise. 

I love thee with the fervour put to use 

In my old griefs and with my childhood’s faith… 

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose with my 

lost youth, 

I love thy breath, smiles, tears of all 

my life – and if fate choose, 

I shall but love thee better after death. 

Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare 

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? 

Thou art more lovely and more temperate; 

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, 

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: 

Sometimes too the eye of heaven shines, 

And often is his golden complexion dimmed; 

And every fair from fair sometime declines. 

By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed: 

But thy eternal summer shall not fade. 

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st 

Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade 

When in eternal lines to time thou growest. 

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see. 

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. 

22

Marriage joins two people in the circle of its 

Love, Edmund O’Neill 

Marriage is a commitment to life, the best that two 

people can find and bring out in each other. It offers 

opportunities for sharing and growth that no other 

relationship can equal. It is a physical and an emotional 

joining that is promised for a lifetime. 

Within the circle of its love, marriage encompasses all of 

life’s most important relationships. A wife and a 

husband are each other’s best friend, confident, lover, 

teacher, listener and critic. 

Marriage understands and forgives the mistakes life is 

unable to avoid. It encourages and nurtures new life, 

new experiences and new ways of expressing a love that is 

deeper than life. 

When two people pledge their love and care for each 

other in marriage, they create a spirit unique unto 

themselves which binds them closer than any spoken or 

written words. Marriage is a promise, a potential made in 

the hearts of two people who love each other and takes a 

lifetime to fulfil. 

I Promise, Dorothy R. Colgan 

I promise to give you the best of myself 

And to ask no more than you can give. 

I promise to respect you as your own person 

and to realise that your needs are no less 

important than my own. 

I promise to share with you my time 

and my attention and to bring joy, 

strength and imagination to our relationship. 

I promise to keep myself open to you, 

to let you see through the window of my 

world into my innermost fears and feelings, 

secrets and dreams. 

I promise to grow along with you, 

to be willing to face changes in order 

to keep our relationship alive and exciting. 

I promise to love you in good times and in bad, 

with all I have to give and all I feel inside 

in the only way I know how, 

completely and forever. 

Flowers, Wendy Cope 

Some men never think of it, 

You did, you’d come along and say 

you’d nearly bought me flowers, 

but something had gone wrong, 

the shop was closed or you had doubts - 

The thoughts that minds like ours dream up incessantly, 

you thought I might not want your flowers. 

It made me smile and hug you then, 

Now I can only smile. 

But look, the flowers you nearly bought 

Have lasted all this while! 

Wedding Day 

Now comes the knitting, the tying, 

the entwining into one, 

Mysterious involvement of two, whole separate people. 

Into something altogether strange and changing, 

new and lovely. 

Nothing can ever be, we will never be, the same again. 

Not merged into each other irrevocably, but rather 

from now on we go the same way, in the same direction, 

agreeing not to leave each other lonely, or discouraged, or 

behind. 

I will do my best to keep my promises to you and 

keep you warm. 

And we will make our bed beneath the bright and ragged 

quilt of all the yesterdays that make us who we are. 

The strengths and frailties we bring to this marriage are 

the very things that will make us rich indeed. 

When you are old, W.B. Yeats 


When you are old and grey and full of sleep, 

and nodding by the fire, take down this book, 

and slowly read, and dream of the soft look 

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; 

How many loved your moments of glad grace, 

And loved your beauty with love false or true, 

but one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, 

and loved the sorrows of your changing face; 


And bending down beside the glowing bars, 

murmur, a little sadly, how love fled 

and paced upon the mountains overhead 

and hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
