Celebrate your marriage or civil partnership
A renewal ceremony is not a legal ceremony, but is a special way for any couple wishing to celebrate renewing their marriage or civil partnership vows.
Often these ceremonies are associated with a special anniversary or for a family celebration when the legal ceremony was held abroad.
The Haversham Room
Set within South Hill Park, the Haversham Room is the ideal venue for a renewal ceremony with all your friends and family there to celebrate with you.
The Ceremonies Room
Located at Time Square, the Ceremonies Room is suitable for up to 10 guests (including children and babies) plus the couple.
With a fresh, modern look, this room is perfectly suited to a private ceremony.
Other venues in Bracknell Forest
There are a range of venues in Bracknell Forest suitable for renewal ceremonies.
