Book Your Venue

How to get married quickly

You need to book a licensed venue for your wedding day before starting the legal process.

At Millbrook, we are licensed for ceremonies in our beautiful Summer House in front of a roaring log fire. You can also step outside into our stunning gardens, stand under the ancient oak tree, or even have a ceremony by the glistening lake.

Book the Devon Registrars

You’ll need to book the Devon registrars to come to Millbrook on your wedding day to perform the ceremony. At Millbrook, we make everything easy and stress-free. We’ll provide you with a booking link for the registrars. Your ceremony time is entirely up to you! We recommend budgeting £450-£500 for the registrars, and a £50 deposit will be required at booking.

Every ceremony at Millbrook is unique. The registrars adapt the ceremony to suit the couple, making it personal to you and your surroundings. We’re always honoured to be asked to act as witnesses, and we can honestly say that no two ceremonies are the same!

Book Your Appointment to Give Notice

You will need to contact your local registration office to book an appointment to give notice. This appointment must take place at least 29 days before your ceremony and within 12 months of it. The cost is approximately £35 per person.

When attending your appointment, you’ll need the following documents:

❤️ Confirmation from your wedding venue
❤️ A valid passport
❤️ Proof of your home address
❤️ Proof of any name changes
❤️ A decree absolute or final order, or former partner’s death certificate (if previously married)

Your registration office will confirm all necessary documents before your appointment. For more information, visit Gov.uk
