Forming a Civil Partnership
For more information about whether a marriage or a civil
partnership is for you, please see the information on the
government website.
Civil partnerships are available to opposite sex and same
sex couples and offer a legal alternative to marriage.
You can choose to form your partnership in any way you
choose – from a simple signing of the documents with two
witnesses, to a larger scale celebration. Your first step
is to decide where you would like your ceremony to take
place. The same locations are available to those marrying
and those forming a civil partnership. The Royal Borough
of Windsor and Maidenhead has a Ceremony Room at the
Register Office in the Town Hall in Maidenhead, plus many
licensed venues to suit all styles and budgets. A list of all
our licensed venues and links to their websites can be found
at the back of this brochure, or on our website.
If you choose to form your partnership in the Maidenhead
Ceremony Room at the Register Office in the Town Hall, the
venue and the registrars can be booked together directly
with us. If you decide on a licensed venue, please contact
them directly to check their availability, and then contact us
to make a booking.
