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.
Couples can choose from a range of approved venues in York in addition to the Register Office itself for their ceremony.
