Your ceremony
The ceremony will be conducted by a celebrant who will not be acting in an official capacity.
Celebrants are trained and experienced in conducting many different ceremonies and can help you to create an individual ceremony.
Celebrate your marriage or civil partnership
A renewal ceremony is not a legal ceremony, but is a special way for any couple 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.

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 34 guests (including children and babies) plus the couple.
With a fresh, modern look, this room is perfectly suited to a private ceremony.
