Getting married in Cumbria

Lake District View

Welcome to the Cumbria Registration Service web-site produced by Cumbria County Council. We are delighted to provide you with this site to help you through the organisation of your wedding day.

Cumbria is a County of great natural beauty and offers a wide range of very attractive wedding venues. There are 9 Register Offices and over 100 Approved Premises from which to choose.

Yours is a special day and the staff of the Cumbria Registration Service wish to help make your day a very happy and enjoyable occasion.

Gone are the days when a civil marriage meant a simple ceremony held in front of an office desk. The options available enable you to have a civil ceremony ranging from a simple affair with just two witnesses to having a large wedding party at an Approved Premise or Register Office of your choice.

This site provides information to help you plan your wedding day and answers many of the questions commonly asked about the legal aspects of a civil ceremony.

We also produce a 24 page colour brochure containing details and information about the formalities of getting married and weddings in Cumbria. Follow the link below to obtain a copy.

If you have any questions or would like further advice please contact your local Register Office. Our staff are always pleased to discuss your wedding requirements and aim to offer you the very highest standard of personal service.

We hope you find the site useful. If you have any suggestions for improvement please let us know. We look forward to helping you make your wedding a special day in Cumbria.
