Civil Marriage
Your wedding day should be as unique and individual as the union it celebrates. Here at Beechenhill we will work with you and the District Registrar to ensure that you acheive the experience you want.
The Registrar can help you select poems, music and readings for your special day.

Immediately before the ceremony the Registrar will interview you both in private to establish the details to be recorded in the marriage register. Each of you will need to give your father's full name and occupation. You will need to ask two people, who may be friends or relatives, if they will witness your marriage. They should be over the age of 16 and must be able to understand the ceremony.
For weddings at Beechenhill Farm, the Registrar's fee will be collected by them four weeks in advance.

"The ceremony in the beautifully decorated Haybarn was
joyous and dignified. A great celebration by family and friends for a lovely couple." |

Civil Marriages are conducted in English. However if either of the parties to a marriage is unable to speak or understand Enlish, an interpreter must be present. The Registrar will be happy to discuss this with the couple before the wedding day.

Naming Ceremonies
When families are celebrating the birth of a new baby, they often feel the need for a special occasion to gather together their closest family and friends. This is another service offered by the District Registrar.
You can hold a Naming Ceremony at Beechenhill Farm. This would provide a dignified and formal opportunity to announce that names that have been chosen and choose other adults prepared to promise a special and supportive relationship to the child.
Ceremonies can also be used to celebrate adoptive children and step children into a new relationship and form part of the family bonding within an extended family.

Ceremonies can include promises to the child, promises to your partner and parent promises. You may choose from a selection of poems and readings to enhance the Ceremony.
A souvenir record of the Ceremony will be signed and presented during the event.
The birth must be registered and a Birth Certificate must be produced when booking the ceremony. |
