Richmond Wedding Guide - London Borough of Richmond upon ...

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.

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.
