There are nationally set fees for giving notice to the superintendent registrar and for the registrar's attendance at a marriage at a register office or religious building.  However, the fee for the attendance of the superintendent registrar and registrar at a marriage in an approved premises (e.g. hotel) is set by the local authority.

On the day of the wedding, you will need to bring with you at least two other people who are prepared to witness the marriage and sign the marriage register.  

 While a ceremony of marriage in the presence of a superintendent registrar cannot, by law, contain any religious aspects, it may be possible with the agreement of the registration officers attending the ceremony, for you to include non-religious music and/or poetry readings and for the wedding to be videoed.

If you wish to know more about marriage ceremonies at register offices or at approved premises  or for more information or enquiries please contact registrars@sunderland.gov.uk or telephone 0191 520 5509
