Outdoor wedding
Woodlands to meadows to tipis - our approved venues have fantastic settings for outside ceremonies. And in case of inclement weather, backup options are available so you can relax knowing your wedding will be beautiful regardless of the weather.
Pets
Owls as ringbearers, dogs walking the bride down the aisle and entrances on horseback - have your pet share in your day. Please check with your venue beforehand if they allow pets.

Personalised ceremonies

Your love story is one of a kind — your ceremony should be too. At Suffolk Registration Service, we believe in celebrating what makes each couple truly special with a tailor-made wedding ceremony that reflects your journey together.

Whether you're planning a traditional celebration or something more unconventional, our Suffolk wedding celebrants are here to help you design a bespoke wedding ceremony that feels truly personal:

Choose meaningful readings, write your own vows, or invite family and friends to take part in the moment. From intimate elopements to themed or fancy dress weddings, your vision is our inspiration.

To make your ceremony even more memorable, consider adding a symbolic unity ritual such as Tying the Knot or sand pouring. These beautiful gestures offer a visual representation of your bond and are a popular choice for couples seeking a personalised wedding experience.

With warmth, creativity, and attention to detail, our celebrants will guide you every step of the way — ensuring your ceremony is not only legally binding, but emotionally unforgettable.

Outdoor weddings

Meadows and beaches. Woodlands and reed beds. With Suffolk being in an Area of Outstanding Beauty, you're spoilt for choice on creating the perfect setting for your wedding.

Outdoor weddings are incredibly memorable and a perfect backdrop to your special day.

Have your pet by your side

If you have a pet who is a part of your family, have them with you on your wedding day. They could act as your ring bearer or walk the bride down the aisle. We welcome your four legged (or two winged) friends to participate in your ceremony.

Please check with individual approved venues to see if they allow pets.
