Marrying in this district
You give notice of marriage in person at the register office for the district where you have lived for the last 7 full days — which may not be this one, even if you marry here. In standard cases you then wait 28 days before the ceremony can take place.
The council offers ceremonies at Hackney Town Hall, including the Lanchester Suite, as well as at other licensed venues.
