Guidance for those Wishing to Marry
on Approved Premises
1.
As
soon as a couple have made provisional arrangements at Three Counties
Hotel, Belmont Road, Hereford, HR2 7BP they should be advised to contact
Mrs S K Weatherhill, the Superintendent Registrar for the Hereford Registration
District situated at County Offices, Bath Street, Hereford, HR1 2HQ. Telephone
(01432) 350461.
2. The hours of attendance of the Superintendent Registrar are:
Monday )
Tuesday ) 9.30 am - 12.30 pm and
Wednesday ) 2.00 pm - 4.00 pm
Thursday ) 9.30 am - 12.30 pm
Friday
)
3. Without the presence of the Superintendent Registrar and a Registrar
there can be no marriage and any arrangements for the use of the premises
depend entirely on their availability. It is therefore essential that
the couple make an advance booking with this Superintendent Registrar
for her attendance at their proposed marriage as soon as a booking can
be accepted. A booking can be made up to twelve months advance. A fee
for this attendance will be payable before the ceremony based on:
Weekday £100
Saturday £130
Sunday and Bank Holiday £175
4. The couple will also have to give a notice of marriage to the Superintendent
Registrar(s) of the Registration District(s) in which they live. This
notice must be given in person by one of the couple but is valid for only
three months. One of the couple should, therefore, attend the register
office where they live as soon as possible after notice can be given.
5. The couple should be warned that any arrangements made for a marriage
to take place at Three Counties Hotel are dependent on:-
a) the attendance of the Superintendent Registrar and a Registrar for
the Hereford Registration District; and
b) the issue of the authority or authorities for marriage by the Superintendent
Registrar(s) to whom notice of marriage was given.
6. When notice is given in a different Registration District from the
one where the marriage is taking place, the couple will have to collect
the authority before the ceremony and ensure that it is delivered to the
Registrar who is to attend the ceremony.
7. The hours between which a marriage can be legally solemnized are 8.00
am and 6.00 pm
8. The couple should be advised that a civil, non-religious ceremony can
be permitted by the Superintendent Registrar. Any music, reading, words
or performance which form any part of the ceremony must be secular. The
content of the ceremony must be agreed in advance with the Superintendent
Registrar who will be attending the ceremony.
9. Any rights of copyright for music, readings etc. permitted at the ceremony
are a matter for the couple and the holder of the approval.
