Civil Wedding Ceremonies

We are pleased to offer the facility to hold your Wedding ceremony in any of our four licensed rooms. To assist you with organizing your ceremony, please note the booking procedures:

In order for your Civil Ceremony to take place, it is imperative that two Registration Officers are present for the Ceremony.

You may provisionally book their attendance with the Registry Office up to, but no more than 12 months prior to your wedding.

The Local Registration Service is the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Please contact them directly to make an appointment:

Maidenhead Register Office
Town Hall, St Ives Road
Maidenhead, Berkshire SL6 1RF

Telephone number: 01628 796422
Contact times: 9.30am - 4.00pm Monday - Friday

The Superintendent Registrar will complete an advance booking pro-forma showing your personal details and time and date of your wedding. It is important to note that without this information, your Civil Wedding Ceremony cannot take place. We cannot arrange this for you.

Whilst making your provisional booking, the Superintendent will inform you of the date when you must give legal notice of your marriage and to whom. You will then be required to pay the Registrars for their attendance fee. You may also choose to pay in advance for your marriage certificate.

Only a civil, secular (non-religious) ceremony can be permitted by the Superintendent Registrar. Any music, reading, poetry, words or performance which form any part of the service must be secular. The content of the ceremony must be agreed in advance with the Superintendent Registrar who shall be attending the Ceremony.

It is your responsibilty to ensure that all legal preliminaries to your wedding are completed and that Registration Officers are available to conduct your ceremony on your requested date and time. Monkey Island cannot arrange this on your behalf.
