Civil Marriage Ceremony at Buckland Tout Saints Hotel

We are delighted to be licensed at the Buckland-Tout-Saints Hotel to hold Civil Marriage Ceremonies and would be happy to discuss with you the arrangements for your wedding day.

We have 4 rooms which we can use for ceremonies/receptions and can accommodate up to 130 guests.
Due to breakfast times and staffing we only allow Ceremonies from 1pm onwards. 20 seated or 30 standing guests can be accommodated in the Blue Room. 40 seated or 80 standing guests can be accommodated in the Queen Anne Room and also in the Great Hall.

We have in the past hosted Wedding�s of up to 90 guests but space is limited.
From 40 to 125 guests can be accommodated in the Kestrel Suite, and, although this room is licensed for Civil Weddings it is not possible to use this room for a Civil Ceremony if you are planning to have a large Wedding Breakfast afterwards on the same day.

A Civil Marriage is a Public Ceremony and it is a legal requirement that any member of the
public who wishes to attend the Marriage must be able to do so.
The Bride and Groom are responsible for booking the Superintendent Registrar in advance and must agree the content of the ceremony with him beforehand. Music is allowed in the Marriage Room, at the discretion of the Hotel and with the consent of the Superintendent Registrar.
Any music, reading, words or performances, which form any part of the Ceremony, must not be religious in any way. It is a legal requirement that Food and Beverages are not consumed within the Marriage Room for up to one hour prior to the Ceremony.
The Bride and Groom may decorate the Marriage Room with flowers however they wish as long as the attachments don�t interfere/damage the d�cor of the room.
