Civil Marriage
If you are getting married by civil ceremony in a Registry Office or other approved place, you should approach the Registrar of Marriages for the district in which you intend to marry for information on how to proceed. There is no requirement to live in the district where you want to get married. The registrar must be on the register of solemnisers maintained by the Registrar General. As well as arranging your civil marriage ceremony there is also a requirement to give three months notification to a Registrar. This does not have to be the same Registrar.
Venues for a Civil Marriage
A civil ceremony can be held in a Registry Office or some other venue that is approved by a Registrar. Each of the hotels listed here have been approved for a Civil Ceremony. A Registrar will also have to be available to solemnise the marriage. If you want to get married in a venue other than the Registry Office you should contact the Registry Office for the district the venue is located in to arrange to have it approved. This may involve the Registrar inspecting the venue. Venues such as marquees, private dwellings or the open air are not acceptable. To ensure the venue is approved in time for your wedding you should arrange for the approval well in advance of notifying the Registrar.

Church of Ireland Ceremony
The rector of the church in which you intend to marry will advise you on the requirements you must comply with. The banns (intention to marry) will be read out in the parishes of the parties for three consecutive Sundays prior to the marriage. Then the rector will give a certificate of banns. There will be a fee for this. The rector will advise you of which type of licence is appropriate and how to go about obtaining the correct one. There are two types - Ordinary Licence or Special Licence. You should give your rector enough notice so that the requirements for marriage can be fulfilled in order for you to get married.
