Chelmsford is credited as the “birthplace of radio”, and this
phrase can be seen on administrative signs on major roads entering the city The urban area of the city currently has a population of approximately 110,000, whilst the district has a population of 168,310, however this is thought to be rapidly increasing on a year-by-year basis with many people from Essex and the London borders relocating to the city The Chelmsford Registration Office is located in the centre of the City as part of the County Hall complex. The ceremony room is tastefully decorated and can accommodate 40 guests. There is an adjacent public square where guests can meet prior to the ceremony. Over 200 couples tie the knot at the venue each year with many couples coming some distance for their celebration The train and bus stations are only a 5 minute walk away and public car parking is close by in Market Road. The Chelmsford area boasts some of the most popular civil wedding/partnership venues in the country. Venues such as Leez Priory have developed a national reputation with the venue winning the
Wedding Ideas Magazine ‘Best Wedding Venue’ in England award in both 2007, 2008 and 2014. Leez Priory is stunning Tudor mansion set in 40 acres of parkland right in the heart of the Essex countryside just 15 minutes from Chelmsford and the M11. Civil ceremonies can be held in 5 separate locations, including the Great Tower. Another popular venue is Braxted Park set majestically in 500 acres of parkland. Braxted Park offers a romantic and photogenic setting with a choice of ceremony rooms within the main house and renovated walled garden. Located just off the A12 on the outskirts of Chelmsford, Hylands House is a beautiful grade II* listed villa, dating back to 1730, set in 574 acres of landscaped parkland. The House can accommodate up to 80 guests for a wedding ceremony and up to 120 guests for wedding/civil partnership receptions and celebrations.

What documents do I need to bring?
When giving notice to form a civil partnership, each party will need to produce evidence of identification. What you will need to produce depends very much on your personal circumstances, but could include a valid passport, full birth certificate, driving licence, change of name document and divorce paper’s, these confirm name, age, nationality and marital status, as well as proof of address. If you have been married or been through a civil partnership before; you will need to produce either a court stamped decree absolute or your late spouse or civil partners death certificate. If the divorce was abroad, we will also need to see a translation of the document if it is not in English.
If either of you is under 18 you will also need parental consent.
Civil Partnership Conversions. It is now possible, if you so wish, to convert an existing civil partnership into a marriage. Since the 10th December 2014, couples who registered their civil partnership in England or Wales can convert their civil partnership to a marriage. This includes all civil partnerships registered according to the law of England and Wales (including those registered in a consul or armed forces base overseas). The conversion itself is a simple legal process but can include a celebratory ceremony if you choose. Your conversion can take place at our Register Office in Brentwood or at any of our registration offices or approved marriage venues. A ceremony may also be held at a church if that building has been registered for
same sex marriages. The service is free of charge for all those who entered into a civil partnership in England or Wales before 29th March 2014 and wish to convert their civil partnership to a marriage before 10th December 2015. There is a charge of ÂŁ4 for each certificate ordered before or on the day of conversion. Separate fees apply if you chose to have a celebratory ceremony. Documents Both parties will need to attend for the conversion. You will need to bring your original civil partnership certificate together with some current ID and proof of your address. You do not need to bring any witnesses and there is no waiting period. You will however need to book an appointment.
Commitment Ceremonies. There are many reasons why couples choose this type of ceremony, it is a routine celebration open to all couples who wish to make a public declaration of their love and commitment to each other in the presence of their family and friends. Unlike a marriage, this ceremony has no legal status but it is intended to be deep personal significance, Because of this, there are no restrictions as to residential requirements. Just with any of our other ceremonies, you can make promises and wishes to each other, exchange rings and include poems and readings inviting your guests to participate in your ceremony. Finally at the end of the ceremony be presented with a certificate to mark the occasion. Your ceremony can take place at any of our offices or approved venues, or any other venue of your choice by prior arrangement or if you prefer, the ceremony can be held in private without any guests present. Either way this is a moving and intimate ceremony that is unique and meaningful.
Changing names. After registering a Civil Partnership, one partner might want to change their surname to that of their partner. Alternatively, a couple may choose to hyphenate their surnames. Government departments and agencies such as the Passport Agency and the DVLA will accept Civil Partnership certificates in the same way that they accept marriage certificates as evidence for changing surnames. Private companies such as banks or insurance companies may require a different standard of proof. It is up to the individuals to contact organisations which hold personal data on them, if they wish to change their surname.
How much does a ceremony cost? For information on ceremony fees refer to next page.
