Your FAQ

Question: Can we personalise our civil ceremony?

Answer: It is possible to add your own words or personal vows at certain points throughout the ceremony, although some words must be said by law. You may also include readings and choose your own music, although these must not contain any religious connotation. The Ceremonies Coordinator will email a copy of a basic ceremony to you at least 3 months prior to your ceremony, any changes must be agreed by the Isle of Wight Register Office prior to the ceremony.
