Information on booking appointments
The last wedding ceremony begins 30 minutes before the end of the times stated.
A wedding date will only be confirmed once the marriage has been registered with the relevant registry office, the parties’ eligibility to marry has been verified, and written confirmation has been received from the Beckum registry office.
You can register no earlier than six months before the wedding date.
You can book a non-binding appointment in advance by email.
For Saturday weddings, we ask that you register your marriage at least three months before the date. Otherwise, the reserved date may be allocated to someone else.
The civil wedding ceremony
A civil wedding at Beckum Registry Office usually lasts between 20 and 25 minutes and is conducted by a registrar.
Order of the ceremony:
- Welcome and finalisation of the remaining formalities
- Personal approach
- Wedding vows and saying ‘I do’
- Ring exchange (on request)
- Signing of the minutes and documents
- Issue of the marriage certificate and other documents
- Congratulations and farewell
You are welcome to discuss any requests regarding the personalised arrangements for your wedding ceremony with the registry office when you register your marriage.
Photography is permitted during the wedding ceremony. Filming is permitted to a reasonable extent and subject to prior agreement with the relevant registrar. Please agree on all the details in advance and bear in mind that the wedding ceremony must be able to proceed with dignity and without disruption at all times.
