Cambridgeshire County Council is now offering a wedding service, which allows couples to have their service in non-approved venues with all of the legal issues taken care of.

The Registration Service "has recognised couples need for personalisation,", said a spokesperson from Cambridgeshire County Council

Cambridgeshire County Council hope that its Registration Service will allow couples to save money on their big day during the cost of living crisis.

The launch of the service was in January, and since then, a dozen couples have signed up.

Cllr Alex Bulat, Vice-Chair of the Communities, Social Mobility and Inclusion Committee, said: “We already have 79 approved wedding venues in Cambridgeshire, which are beautiful locations to get married, however we understand there is an increasing demand from couples wanting more ways to personalise their special day.

“We also understand weddings can be very expensive and at a time when household finances are under extra pressure, this flexibility could allow couples to save a significant amount of money.

“This is an exciting opportunity for anyone planning a wedding in Cambridgeshire to do something different, which better suits their values, interests and budgets.”
