Religious Ceremonies
Religious ceremonies may be conducted at any time and in any place in Scotland so long as you can get an authorised religious celebrant to attend and officiate. Whether you want to get married in the romantic setting of a remote Scottish castle or on top of Ben Nevis, the choice is yours so long as you can find a minister and two witnesses to go along with you both. In Scottish churches, there is no provision for getting married by the publishing of banns.
Civil Ceremonies
A civil marriage may only be solemnised in a register office by a Registrar or an Assistant Registrar that has been authorised by the General registrar's Office. Although there are no time-of-the-day restrictions on getting married in Scotland, the ceremony can only take place during the opening hours of the register office concerned, which are usually 9am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 1pm on Saturdays. Opening hours do vary so check with the register office in which you plan to get married. There is one exception to this restriction. Certain remote Scottish communities have Parlour Registrars that are authorised to solemnise marriages in their home. At their discretion they can conduct a civil marriage ceremony at any time.
Arranging your Marriage Ceremony
It is important to make early arrangements for the venue and for the date and time of your marriage. If you are having a religious ceremony, arrange to see the minister who will be conducting your service before completing the notice forms. If you will not be having your religious ceremony in a church, you should not book a venue until your minister has agreed to officiate. For civil ceremonies, make early arrangements with the Registrar, particularly in cities or towns or cities where large numbers of people want to be married at popular times of the year.
Finally, you will need to arrange for two persons, aged 16 years or over, to be present at your ceremony to act as witnesses. Two witnesses are required for both religious and civil ceremonies. If you are unable to provide witnesses, you should ask the venue, where you will be getting married, if they are able to provide them.
