Today I had a conversation with a bride who wanted to get married in a marquee which is not possible I'm afraid - so I thought I would share the rules regarding licenced premises with you.A civil licence can be granted on a room or a structure that has fixed walls and a fixed roof.
So for example, some wedding venues have wooden gazebos or summer houses in their grounds, and these can be licenced. The law states that the Registrars, Bride, Groom and the witnesses must be standing within the structure during the ceremony. The guests however, can be stood in the surrounding grounds.
The example shown here is of the gazebo in the grounds of The Cross Lanes Hotel, Marchwiel, Wrexham. On a nice day the garden can be set up for the ceremony though if the heavens look set to open, the hotel will simply set the ceremony room up inside instead.

A very well written article that explains the laws relating to outdoor weddings perfectly. It seems that more and more brides are looking at this option for something different. We have filmed weddings at several venues recently that are licenced to conduct wedding ceremonies in a fixed structure outdoors. Well done.
