Once You Book Your Ceremony
After booking your ceremony, you’ll receive a questionnaire designed to help you personalise every aspect of your day. Our dedicated co-ordinator will be on hand to guide you through this process, ensuring that your ceremony reflects your personality and style.
1. Choosing Your Venue
Waltham Forest offers a variety of stunning venues to suit your taste and preferences:
- Fellowship Square: A picturesque and iconic setting for your special day.
- Approved Venues: Choose from a list of licensed venues across the borough.
2. Booking the Registrar
To secure your registrar, especially during peak wedding season, we recommend booking well in advance.
Legal Notices
If you’re getting married or forming a civil partnership, both partners must give notice of intent at your local register office. This must be done no later than 29 days before your ceremony, and the notice period may extend if either partner is subject to immigration control.

Toasting Your Special Day
Celebrate with a toast! Choose from champagne, prosecco, non-alcoholic options, or tea and cakes. Let us know your preferences in advance to ensure everything is ready for your special moment.

Photography
Capture the magic of your day with stunning photos. Our venues offer both indoor and outdoor spaces, including elegant arches and picturesque backdrops. While Fellowship Square is a working space during the week, designated areas are available for photographs. Coordinate with your photographer to make the most of these iconic settings.

Enhance the atmosphere with beautiful floral arrangements. Whether it’s a simple bouquet or elaborate centrepieces, you’re welcome to bring your own florist. Just ensure arrangements can be easily lifted and removed after the ceremony.
