A renewal of vows is a formal way for couples to renew their marriage vows. It has no legal status and is available to any couple no matter how long they have been married.

You can personalise your ceremony by including readings and music. You can include relatives and friends in the ceremony, have personal vows of commitment, give new wedding rings or rededicate your existing rings.

Wherever the ceremony is held it will be conducted by staff from the local Register Office. You should contact the venue first to make sure that the date you want is available and you are happy with their costs.
