Civil ceremony licence transfer
Are you the new owner or manager of a venue that already holds a civil ceremony licence? If so, you need to apply to transfer the licence to you.
Can you transfer a civil ceremony licence to another premises?
A wedding venue licence is tied to a venue so you cannot transfer it to a different premises. Much like a premises licence for a licensed premises. However, a licence can be transferred to a new owner or manager at the same premises.
What documents do you need to include with your application?
You need to enclose three sets of plans that clearly show the areas of the premises where weddings and civil ceremonies will be held.
The purpose of submitting plans is to show compliance with regulations and to make sure the premises are still suitable for conducting marriage ceremonies.
When do you need to apply for a new wedding venue licence?
If you plan to make any changes to the premises, for example by including new rooms for wedding ceremonies and guest use, then you need to apply for a new wedding venue licence rather than a licence transfer.
