Leicestershire County Council offers guidance and information for Marriages and Civil Partnerships.

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to celebrate your marriage or civil partnership. Whatever the style of ceremony you want, our staff can offer guidance and help.

You will find a range of useful information in this section, covering advice on marriages, civil partnerships, and your legal rights when living together.

You can find out where you can get married in Leicestershire including the Registration Offices and Approved Venues that the county has to offer.

The Registration Offices and Approved Venues also offer places for the Registration of Civil Partnerships and celebratory services such as Naming Ceremonies, Renewal of Vows and Commitment Ceremonies.

There are also sections on how to plan your ceremony, including a check list and a gift list, along with information on wedding traditions and the history behind the rings.
