Civil marriage ceremony

Our office based civil marriages now take place at Callendar House. However, the location of your civil ceremony is very flexible we can solemnise civil ceremonies almost anywhere in the Falkirk Council area. Our experienced team conduct ceremonies in a wide variety of hotels and venues or even your own home or garden.    
  
We will work with you to create a ceremony that reflects you as a couple. Your ceremony can be short and sweet or perhaps you would like us to create something more bespoke that tells a little about your love story and aspirations. You can personalise to choose your own vows, readings, ceremony enhancements or symbolic gestures. Our civil marriage readings document offers more information and inspiration.
