Civil Ceremonies
Houghwood Golf has been granted a licence to hold your Wedding Ceremony in the first floor Fairways Restaurant or Richard Valentine Lounge making it the most wonderful venue for an intimate and exclusive wedding. We are limited to numbers for the ceremony but will endeavour to accommodate your wishes.
Holding your whole wedding day in the one location gives you peace of mind that everything will run smoothly and there are several stunning backdrops for your photographs.
Arranging your Civil Wedding at Houghwood would cost an extra £300 for room hire.
Booking the Registrars
As soon as a couple have made provisional arrangements for a marriage to take place on approved premises they should contact the superintendent registrar of the district in which the premises are situated. Registrars will attend marriages on approved premises from 10.00am to 4.00pm Monday to Saturday subject to availability. It is possible to book registrars up to twelve months in advance and couples are advised to contact the appropriate registry office as soon as possible. The marriage cannot take place without the presence of the registrars.
The Marriage Ceremony
The superintendent registrar who will be attending on the day must approve the content of the marriage ceremony in advance. Please note, by law, only a civil ceremony is permitted. Any music, reading, words or performance which form part of the ceremony must be non – religious in nature. The superintendent registrar will be happy to offer advice and guidance to couples who wish to personalise or enhance their marriage ceremony
