On-site marriage registration has become fashionable.

If five to seven years ago there were only a few newlyweds choosing this option for marriage, now more than a third of wedding ceremonies take place in this format.

Meanwhile, the bride and groom do not always fully understand what on-site marriage registration is.

• Law on official registration
• Cost of on-site registration
• Who conducts registration outside the registry office?
• Step-by-step instructions for organizing a destination wedding
• What is important when preparing a wedding?

Law on official registration

Is on-site marriage registration an official procedure?

Legally, “registration of marriage” means making an entry about the event in the Civil Registry Book.

After this, the man and woman are officially considered husband and wife, and the marriage is considered valid.

Thus, in order to carry out official actions, a civil registry office employee needs a Civil Registry Book. This is a very important document and is subject to a number of strict restrictions.

One of them is that the book is prohibited from being removed from the walls of the registry office building without the grounds provided for by law. Exit registration does not apply to them.

There may be the following reasons for officially registering a marriage outside the registry office:

• The bride and groom cannot appear at the registry office for reasons beyond their control.
• We are not talking about the most pleasant life circumstances: imprisonment or being in a medical facility.

Such official ceremonies can hardly be classified as outdoor ceremonies: the bride and groom are limited in choosing the place and time of the wedding and often only confirm their will with signatures.

If we are talking about standard ceremonies, to enter into an official marriage, in almost all cases, the newlyweds need to visit the registry office, where:

• The civil servant will carry out all actions provided for by law;
• Will make and seal the corresponding entry in the Civil Registry Book.

These actions are necessary because the registry office employee works in accordance with strict administrative regulations and does not have the right to remove extremely serious documents from the registry office premises.

Organization of the celebration: with the help of an agency or independently

If the newlyweds are not strapped for money, you can turn to the services of a wedding agency . Specialists will help you write a wedding script, distribute roles, draw up vows, organize catering, and provide all the accessories necessary for the celebration.

Or you can do it all yourself :

Making a wedding arch

And decorating the arch with flowers

Chair decoration

Cost of on-site registration

In large cities there are many companies that deal with issues of on-site marriage registration. Working with them, the bride and groom can be sure that the agency:

1. Select the ideal location suitable for on-site registration;
2. Resolve organizational issues with the accommodation of guests and the departure of a registry office employee or a specially hired actor to conduct the ceremony;
3. Will provide musical accompaniment.

Depending on the assigned tasks, the cost of services of such agencies starts from 15-20 thousand rubles.

Of course, the future husband and wife can organize on-site registration on their own.

In this case, the cost of departure:

• A civil registry office employee will cost an average of 4,000 rubles;
• A specially hired person who will play the role of an employee of the civil registry office will cost: in Moscow from 10,000 rubles, in the regions - from 5,000 rubles.

Prices are given without taking into account the cost of wedding paraphernalia : a specially decorated arch and a table on which a pen with documents will be placed, as well as other equally important accessories and rental of the event venue.

Host of an unofficial outdoor ceremony: selecting a great registrar

The host at the outdoor ceremony will “marry” the newlyweds. He will be in plain sight, and guests will carefully watch all his actions and words. This is why it is so important to find a suitable candidate for the role of presenter. This could be an actor or a professional wedding celebrant who has the following qualities :

• Communication skills. During the wedding, the host will have to communicate with the newlyweds and guests, so it is important to be able to win them over and interest them. Sullenness, stiffness, indecisiveness are traits that are unacceptable when working as a registrar or wedding officiant.
• Literacy. The presenter must correctly express his thoughts, have good diction, an impressive vocabulary, avoid tongue-tiedness, the use of phraseological units and surzhik.
• Ingenuity and intelligence. No matter how carefully a wedding is planned, something can go wrong. Even the most organized and thoughtful registration ceremony is not immune to unpredictable moments. To avoid excesses, the registrar must be smart, resourceful, and creative.
• Presentable appearance. The appearance of the presenter must correspond to the festive event. Correctly selected clothes, shoes, hairstyle, well-groomed manicure are important points that together contribute to the overall impression of the registrar. No matter how expert the presenter is in his field, oil stains on clothes or hair somehow collected into a hairstyle will distract attention and spoil the impression.

When choosing a person who will “register” your marriage, you should ask about reviews from previous clients: have there been any difficulties, what is worth paying attention to. But even if the track record is not great, and the person made a good impression and satisfied the above requirements, then you can cooperate with him. Moreover, an actor, still little-known, can work with even greater dedication than a famous and well-known wedding host in the city.

Who conducts registration outside the registry office?

According to the law, a civil registry office employee is required to go out to register a marriage if one of the couple is seriously ill or is in prison.

In all other cases, on-site marriage registration is just a beautiful theatrical performance, which can be performed for a fee by:

• Civil servant of the civil registry office;
• An actor hired by the couple.

It is worth noting that the style of the event is set by the newlyweds themselves. There are no frameworks or standards: even Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean can read a ceremonial speech and issue the first family document.

Meanwhile, those planning to register couples on-site must still visit the registry office and sign with their own hands in the Civil Registry Book. Usually the newlyweds decide this issue a day or two or even a few hours before their scheduled exit registration.

OUTDOOR MARRIAGE CEREMONY

A wedding with on-site marriage registration has become firmly in fashion and has become an almost integral part of the wedding day. But not all newlyweds fully understand what it is and “what they eat it with.” Let's find out in this article.

• Where to conduct on-site marriage registration?
• Official and informal outdoor ceremony
• Pros and cons of weddings with on-site registration
• How to choose a place for an outdoor ceremony?
• How much does it cost to organize an outdoor wedding ceremony?
• Who conducts registration outside the registry office?
• Scenario and timing of the away ceremony
• Features of organizing on-site marriage registration.
• Arch as an integral attribute of on-site wedding registration

We will consider all these questions below.

Step-by-step instructions for organizing a destination wedding

When deciding to deviate from the standards and organize on-site marriage registration, you need to consider the following:

• The cost of on-site registration may be several times more expensive;
• Some venues suitable for holding a celebration are so in demand that it is advisable to book them 3 or even 6 months before the celebration;
• It will take much more time to prepare the outdoor ceremony;
• You will have to provide for a huge number of “little things”.

Despite the fact that on-site registration requires more time for preparation and rich imagination from the organizers, everyone present will appreciate the result.

Having chosen the wedding date, the newlyweds can use the following “cheat sheet” for preparing for exit registration:

1. Choose a venue for the celebration;
2. Choose a presenter, discuss the scenario. You can agree on registration with the registry office employee;
3. Think over the menu and organize a buffet table with traditional champagne;
4. Select and book a banquet hall;
5. Find a host and agree on the scenario for the banquet part;
6. Pay the state fee, submit an application to the registry office and visit the institution on the specified day to prepare official marriage documents.

The solution to some issues can be delegated to relatives, friends or employees of special agencies for creating a holiday.

A statement of claim to declare a marriage invalid is drawn up by one of the spouses, who suspects deception on the part of his other “half”. Often a prenuptial agreement is drawn up when applying for a mortgage. Read about the important nuances of this procedure here.

WHAT IS AN EXIT WEDDING REGISTRATION OF MARRIAGE?

On-site marriage registration is the registration of a marriage outside the walls of the registry office. Field registration of marriage can be carried out both officially and unofficially. In the second option, the wedding ceremony is a beautiful and carefully rehearsed production with the bride and groom in the lead roles, which does not exclude a visit to the registry office.

Next, we will understand the features of official and unofficial on-site wedding registration.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A DAILY CEREMONY?

I remember “It’s not the place that makes a person, but...” These lines are not suitable for our situation, it’s the place and beautiful scenery that will decorate your wedding photos!

.

Here are the main points that should not be overlooked when organizing an outdoor ceremony:

✔️ PROXIMITY TO THE CITY

This means that the site for the outdoor ceremony should be located next to the restaurant or site where the banquet part will take place. Ideally, if this is the same place. This leads to the next point...

✔️ TRANSFER OF GUESTS

This is perhaps one of the most important aspects. After all, guests often want to relax and leave the car. If you tell them that the wedding will be 100 km from the city, they will at least get tense. Therefore, take care in advance of transport that will take guests to the celebration site on the appointed day and time.

✔️ BEAUTIFUL VIEW

The ideal would be to have wonderful landscapes and a spacious area. As they say, nature should please the eye. A pond, greenery, flowers, flowering trees, singing birds (but not biting insects) - this is just ideal!

✔️ AVAILABILITY OF A ROOF OR SPARE SPACE FOR THE CEREMONY

It is important to provide for EVERYTHING. Bad weather can ruin everything if you are not prepared for it. Therefore, an awning, a gazebo, blankets, umbrellas for guests - everything should be in reserve.

✔️ ARCH, DECORATION AND ACCESSORIES

All decorations are prepared in advance: an arch, chairs for guests, a pillow for rings, a pen for painting, etc. It is understood that all this is in charge of one person - the wedding decorator.

✔️ SOUND

To avoid echoes from the sound, which, you see, may well spoil the entire impression of what is happening, it is necessary to provide sound equipment directly at the ceremony site, and not just in the banquet hall.

✔️ POSITION OF THE ARCH IN RELATION TO THE LIGHT

If the sun blinds your eyes, you may end up with some not-so-successful shots!

SCENARIO AND TIMETING OF THE OUTDOOR CEREMONY

How is everything going?

1. On the wedding day, the exit registration area is decorated - an arch, a table, and chairs are placed. The necessary equipment is installed, and if necessary, a rehearsal is held with the newlyweds. Decorators are involved in decorating the outdoor ceremony area. At this time, the registrar also prepares for the ceremony and the arrival of guests.
2. At the designated time, guests begin to gather. So that guests do not get bored while waiting for the newlyweds, a buffet area and, if desired, several interactive areas are organized for them. Then they take their places in the exit registration area. In most cases, all processes are controlled by the wedding coordinator or friends/parents of the newlyweds.
3. Then there is a ceremonial entrance of the bride and groom to a pre-selected musical composition. There are two options: the newlyweds can go out together, or first the groom and then the bride, accompanied by her father.
4. The registrar makes a beautiful opening speech, then passes the floor to the newlyweds and they pronounce romantic vows to each other. The cherished “Yes” and the couple exchange rings, sign a symbolic certificate and seal their union with a kiss.
5. After the ceremony, family and friends congratulate the newlyweds and take memorable photographs with the bride and groom.
6. This is followed by the beginning of the banquet part of the event.

Timing of the exit ceremony

The classic outdoor ceremony lasts 15-20 minutes!!!

This time includes: the bride’s entrance with her father to the groom, who is waiting for her at the altar, the registrar’s speech, vows and the exchange of rings. Separately, you should take into account the seating time of guests. Add another 5 minutes if a child will carry the rings.

30 minutes should be left for congratulating guests, presenting gifts and a general photo session after the wedding ceremony.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO ORGANIZE AN OUTDOOR CEREMONY?

PRICE OF OUTSIDE MARRIAGE REGISTRATION

The cost of organizing an outdoor ceremony depends on many factors - the venue, the chosen version of the musical accompaniment, the scale of the arch and the materials used for its design, as well as other design elements of the outdoor ceremony area. Who will perform the role of the registrar also matters when determining the price of on-site registration. We discussed the approximate calculation of organizing an outdoor ceremony in this article.

WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN ORGANIZING AN OUTDOOR CEREMONY

PLACES FOR OUTSIDE MARRIAGE REGISTRATION

WHERE TO HOLD THE OUTDOOR CEREMONY?

— Registration in a country house or cottage

The ideal solution for country weddings would be to rent a house in nature outside the city. Specially equipped country wedding houses offer newlyweds the most beautiful place for an outdoor ceremony, a tent or veranda for a banquet and a whole house so that after the wedding they don’t have to go anywhere, but stay there and relax.

— Registration at a country wedding venue

The same advantages as in the previous option, only with the difference that not all such sites allow you to stay and accommodate guests. But most country wedding venues still have rooms nearby.

— Registration by the water

One of the most popular ideas in the warm season is organizing an outdoor wedding registration on the banks of a river or lake. A pier or bridge is a great option. And if we are talking about a wedding abroad, then on the seashore or ocean on a snow-white sandy beach.

— Registration in a forest clearing

Such an atmospheric location can be found in almost all suburban venues. Very atmospheric!

— Registration at the restaurant

This option has many advantages. Most restaurants will have a special area where you can hold the ceremony and then head to the banquet hall. In addition, this is an ideal solution for the cool season.

— Check-in at the hotel

The hotel has a special registration area, a banquet hall, and rooms for you and your guests.

— Registration in Loft

One of the most popular formats for holding a wedding day at present. But this option is suitable only for those couples who like this brutal loft style.

— Registration in a historical place steeped in history

In a museum, castle or estate you will feel a special holiday atmosphere.

— Registration on the roof

Quite an interesting solution to exchange rings at bird's eye view, which has recently become very popular.

— Registration in the air in a hot air balloon

A non-standard idea for extreme sports enthusiasts. But! In this case, guests will not see the entire process.

— Registration in the mountains

For lovers of breathtaking landscapes, it would be the best decision to go to the mountains.

— Registration abroad

If you have the desire and opportunity, you can go to another country. A chic beach on the ocean or an ancient medieval castle somewhere in Europe - the choice is yours. But on-site registration abroad is not a budget-friendly pleasure, especially if you still plan to invite guests there.

LET'S SUM UP

• Think about who you want to see as a registrar. This could be a professional actor, presenter, or one of your friends who has artistic abilities.
• Carefully choose a place for a wedding and in particular for an outdoor ceremony. It should not only be beautiful, but also have enough space to accommodate all the guests, place an arch and organize a buffet area.
• Think over the concept of the entire wedding and choose an arch for the outdoor ceremony.
• Plan the ceremony so that neither the vows nor the celebrant's speech are too long. Otherwise, guests will get bored. If you wish, you can add a little jokes and humor.
• Take care of the buffet. There will be enough glasses of champagne and light snacks.
• Don't forget about sound. If registration is planned on the street and there will be a lot of people, then your presenter will definitely need a microphone.
