Polly Dickinson, Warwickshire Registration Services Manager, said: “The area offers a wonderful range of wedding venues, regardless of whether you want a small family gathering or the largest of celebrations.

“If you do not want a religious ceremony, a civil marriage can be performed by registrars from Warwickshire Registration Services at any venue that holds a licence to host weddings. The registrars will guide you through the legal formalities and ensure that your day runs as smoothly as possible.

“There are many ways that the ceremony can be made more personal to you. The registrars can offer a choice of vows, readings and music and, as it is your special day, your own suggestions are welcome.”
