Are you about to celebrate that special milestone anniversary: twenty-five, forty or even fifty years together?

Do you know somebody close to you, parents or grandparents, who have given you those years of love and support and you wish to help them celebrate a wonderful family occasion?

There is no better way of acknowledging the day than preceding the anniversary party with a delightful ceremony to renew those treasured vows.

Maybe, as a younger couple, you held your marriage or civil partnership ceremony abroad in an idyllic tropical setting? Now that you are home and the photograph album has been shared with family and friends, perhaps you would like to relive the moment and let those closest to you witness the restating of your vows to each other and follow with a celebratory party at the venue of your choice.

The Surrey Registration Service will be happy to assist you in making your arrangements and conducting just such a ceremony. A fee is payable for this service.

Renewal ceremonies can take place at the three Surrey Register Offices in Guildford, Leatherhead and Weybridge – giving you the freedom to arrange your own party at home or other place of your choice. If indeed you had originally held your ceremony at one of these offices, how lovely to return and renew your vows in the attractive surrounds where the journey first began. Alternatively, all of our licenced venues would be happy to host your ceremony and cater for your celebration, should you prefer to opt for a larger occasion.

The Renewal Ceremony has no legal standing: this allows the freedom for each couple to create a unique celebration to suit their own particular requirements. Speeches, readings and music from your wedding may be given or played again, changes in your lives can be acknowledged allowing your children and/or grandchildren to contribute, and new promises may be made to reflect your plans for your continuing future together. Old rings may be rededicated or new rings exchanged, and to mark your ceremony a special commemorative certificate will be witnessed, signed and presented.

If you choose to incorporate a reading, you may wish to choose a piece from our selection below or alternatively, you may prefer to choose one from our selection for a marriage or civil partnership ceremony.
