Coronavirus
Until further notice, our registration service will not be holding any marriage ceremonies or formations of civil partnership at any of our approved venues. This includes our own venues at The Court House, Ampthill and the Limes, Biggleswade.
Couples wishing to change arrangements already in place should contact us at life.events@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk. There will be no charge for postponing a marriage ceremony or a notice of marriage / civil partnership appointment. Notices of marriage and civil partnership should be deferred until further notice.

What you need to do before your ceremony
Once current restrictions are lifted, before your marriage or civil partnership ceremony, you will need to:
- choose a venue - these are the approved venues
- contact our superintendent registrar to book your ceremony (we do not take bookings earlier than 12 months before the ceremony)
- book an online appointment with the registrar to give notice of your marriage or civil partnership
