Planning your Civil Partnership Celebration Ceremony
Think about where you want to hold the legal Civil Partnership procedure. Speak to your local registrar about this first and arrange your legal formalities.
Decide where and when you will want your Celebration Ceremony. On the same or a different day? At the same place as the legal Civil Partnership procedure or at a different location? Bear in mind that most registration services provide a ceremony as well as the legal formalities so consider this option as well.
