Marriages and civil partnerships

Renewal of vows ceremony

If you're married or in a civil partnership, a renewal of vows ceremony is a chance to celebrate your commitment with family and friends.

These ceremonies are for couples who have been married or are in a civil partnership, and are often associated with a special anniversary. They are also popular with couples who married or formed a civil partnership overseas, have now returned to this country and want to celebrate their commitment with family and friends who were not at their legal ceremony.

Bookings

To book a renewal of vows ceremony, email registeroffice@hillingdon.gov.uk to discuss your requirements.

Please note:

  • To arrange a ceremony, you must be legally married or in a civil partnership, and you must show us your certificate when you book.
  • A renewal of vows ceremony has no legal status.
  • A commemorative certificate will be presented to the couple at the ceremony, but this may not be used for any legal or statutory purposes.
