What is exit marriage registration
On-site marriage registration is a solution for those who consider a trip to the registry office in a wedding procession to be a relic of antiquity. The name of this procedure speaks for itself - the registrar goes to the venue of the celebration and enters into a marriage. But upon closer examination, not everything is so simple.
Registration without a registry office
This service is often provided by wedding planners. Such on-site marriage registration is formally an imitation and has no legal force. Usually, shortly before the celebration, the spouses come to the registry office and formally conclude their union, and the rest is the work of the event agency. The organizers create their own scenario in which everything can be changed - the image of the host playing the role of the registrar, his speech and even the text of the wedding vows.
Registration from the registry office
Alas, official on-site marriage registration is possible only in rare cases. The civil registration book, as well as state seals, cannot be taken outside the registry office or the Wedding Palace, so you will still have to pay a visit there to leave your signature.
There may be two exceptions. The first is a valid reason why one or both newlyweds cannot appear at the registry office. Such reasons include, for example, serious illness or stay in a prison. The second is getting married in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In these cities, it is legally permitted to carry out official registration in some historical and cultural places, but the list of these places is also strictly regulated by the city government.
There is also a “semi-official” on-site registration - after formal registration at the registry office, an employee can go to the venue of the celebration to hand over certificates to the newlyweds.
Who conducts on-site marriage registration
Official field registration is carried out by a registrar from the Civil Registry Office. Unofficial - wedding agency.
Disadvantages of "theatrics"
You will still need to formalize all the documents legally at the registry office in order for you to be issued a marriage certificate. Bad weather is also possible; you can’t plan for good weather. For open areas, you definitely need to provide an awning or even have a second option for a place in stock for the festive registration of your marriage. The financial costs are high.
Advantages and disadvantages
Before making a decision, you need to weigh the pros and cons.
Advantages of on-site registration:
- Refusal of tedious and archaic wedding processions. Guests will not have to “ride” the newlyweds all over the city; they can simply come to the venue of the celebration.
- The queue at the registry office can sometimes ruin the festive mood.
- For the ceremony, you can come up with any scenario, replace the Mendelssohn march, the standard speech of the registry office employee, and even dress the presenter in the costume of Santa Claus or any other character.
- A completely different atmosphere, which is created by the wedding agency according to the wishes of the newlyweds. You can even bring your pets with you.
- A beautiful wedding arch against the backdrop of natural beauty will look better in the photo than the walls of the registry office.
Disadvantages of on-site registration:
- Sometimes it is difficult to find a beautiful suitable place in which to hold the ceremony.
- You will have to rent it at your own expense.
- The newlyweds will still need to visit the registry office to officially register the marriage.
- Outdoor registration will be subject to weather conditions. You need to think in advance about what to do in case of rain or snow.
Nevertheless, more and more newlyweds have recently been inclined towards on-site registration.
Open air
This option is the most striking: if there is snow cover, all you need to do is choose a picturesque corner of nature. The downside of registering outdoors is the frost. Therefore, it is better not to plan the action scenario for more than an hour and take care of the comfort of the guests. As a rule, blankets are prepared for those present and hot drinks are provided: tea, coffee, mulled wine, etc. The newlyweds themselves should also warm themselves up without losing their wedding look: identical scarves, mittens or even hats will only emphasize your unity.
Where to conduct on-site registration
The place for the ceremony should be chosen so that it is convenient for guests to get to it, and so that they can leave from there late in the evening - or at least have somewhere to stay for the night. At the same time, the impression should not be spoiled by some unsightly details of the urban environment, for example, painted walls or construction a few meters from the venue of the celebration.
In coastal cities, on-site registrations are most often carried out on the beach. If there is no sea in the city, other landscapes are also suitable - the coast of any other body of water (preferably with running water if the wedding is planned for the summer). The wedding arch can be placed in a clearing, in a park or grove, the main thing is that the place is equipped with electricity and all the necessary amenities.
Historical places, old estates and architectural monuments are often rented out for wedding ceremonies. A convenient option would also be a restaurant courtyard where a wedding banquet or buffet will be held.
If the city has suitable bodies of water or navigable rivers, the outdoor ceremony can be held on the deck of a rented yacht or ship.
If we talk about official on-site registration in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then it is worth remembering that all venues have their own opening hours and a certain capacity (usually no more than 20 people).
What is needed for on-site registration
For unofficial registration, you only need to sign in advance at the registry office and order an outdoor ceremony at a wedding agency.
To conduct an official on-site marriage registration, you need to collect a standard package of documents:
- newlyweds' passports;
- application on official form;
- a receipt for payment of the state fee if the application is submitted offline;
- certificate of divorce from a previous marriage, if there was one.
You can submit this package of documents to the registry office, the MFC or on the government services website.
Marriage registration form for on-site registration
The application for marriage during exit registration does not differ from that during official registration. Below are examples of the form and how to fill it out.

Marriage certificate for exit registration
In case of official registration, the newlyweds receive a certificate in their hands in the standard manner. For “semi-official” registration, they are also issued by a civil registry office employee.
If the ceremony is held by an event agency, then the certificates received in advance at the registry office can be given to the host so that he solemnly presents them to the spouses in front of the guests.
Winter signs on your wedding day
Marriage registration is a very important and responsible event in the life of every person. People exchange rings, make a promise to love and take care of each other, to share joy and sorrow together. This is exciting and solemn for both young people and their loved ones. There are many beliefs and signs associated with the wedding ceremony, even if it takes place in winter. It is believed that nature dictates.
- If there is a strong wind on the wedding day, the life of the newlyweds will also be windy.
- If a wedding is hit by severe frost, family life will be long and happy. And if the frost gets stronger in the evening, the child in the family will be born strong and healthy.
- A snowy day brings happiness and prosperity.
- Maslenitsa for a wedding - wealth and prosperity.
As a rule, winter weddings are celebrated by people who are distinguished by hard work, responsibility, and honesty. The cold season is fabulous, unique, as if nature itself had prepared many surprises for magic and adventure. Of course, the feeling of holiday during this period of time is special. Anyone can create an amazing atmosphere of celebration by turning the most unusual creative ideas into reality. You just have to want to surprise your loved ones and acquaintances! If you try, your winter wedding will be remembered for a long time.
Scenarios
As a rule, wedding agencies have ready-made ceremony scripts that they will immediately offer to the newlyweds. You can make adjustments to them, add or remove something you don’t like. You can also create your own script.
As a rule, the standard ceremony is carried out in several steps.
First you need to prepare the place for the celebration. The script largely depends on the design. The classic decoration for off-site registration is a wedding arch, rows for guests and tables for a buffet table.
Weddings of different styles will require different decorations. For example:
- A seaside or Hawaiian wedding should take place on the deck of a ship or on the beach (although you can always use more imagination and create the right atmosphere even in a restaurant hall), guests can be asked to take off their shoes. The buffet will also need to be decorated in a suitable style - light seafood snacks and cocktails with umbrellas.
- It is better to hold a wedding in the “lumberjack” style in the forest, offer guests a dress code in the form of plaid shirts, and make all the decor from wood.
The ceremony begins with the newlyweds walking to the wedding arch. Young children of relatives or friends can help here by throwing rice or flower petals along the way. Traditionally, the bride can be accompanied to the arch by her father or older brother.
The next stage is the pronouncement of marriage vows and the marriage itself. The text of the oaths and the words of the leader are approved in advance. You can leave them traditional for the classic scenario or come up with your own if you want originality. The host can be dressed in a regular formal suit, in a priest's attire, or even in a superhero outfit if the style of the wedding requires it.
After pronouncing the vows and concluding the union, guests are offered a buffet or invited to a banquet.
Travel alternative
The outdoor option can be an official type of marriage ceremony, or it can look like a theatrical scenario. There is practically nothing impossible for this unofficial format. A forest wedding “out”, a celebration on the shore of a lake, on a boat, at a seaside resort will be remembered forever. Companies providing such services are easy to find; just look on the Internet.
And after a destination wedding, you can come up with a honeymoon vacation that is no less interesting and full of wonderful events.
Features of winter away registration
With the help of decor, a winter outdoor marriage registration can be turned into a real fairy tale. The snowy landscape itself will look like a beautiful scenery. But in this case, you will have to do without a buffet, and the ceremony itself (if it takes place outside) in winter must be carried out quickly and without delays. Instead of a buffet during check-in, guests can be offered hot drinks, such as mulled wine and hot chocolate. In the invitation, they must be informed that it is better to take warm clothes with them to the ceremony. The clothes of the bride and groom should also be appropriate, because no one wants to say important words while shivering from the cold.
On-site marriage registration in winter is usually carried out in restaurants and hotels, so that after the formal part you can immediately proceed to the banquet in a warm room.
Winter wedding scenario
As a basis for creating a themed wedding program in winter, you can take any story with a happy ending. It is better to coordinate the script for a winter wedding with the host; he will help you decide on a suitable plot and tell you what other ideas can be used in the script. Often the wedding program is written around winter fairy tales and New Year's films.
As entertainment at a winter wedding, you can offer guests a snowball fight (both real and made from cotton wool), sledding, or building a palace-fortress for the newlyweds.

Civil registry office and on-site registration in one day
Often, several days or weeks pass between the official signature and the on-site registration of the marriage, depending on the schedule of the registry office and the date of the celebration. But it also happens that these dates coincide.
This can have its pros and cons - if the official registration is scheduled, say, in the morning, and the away ceremony will take place at noon, then it will be convenient for the newlyweds to do everything on one day, rather than setting aside time in advance for a visit to the registry office. On the other hand, they will already have enough trouble on their wedding day. In addition, official registration does not always take place on time, and the queue is often delayed.
Signing in advance or conducting official and exit registration on the same day is only a matter of personal priorities.
We are looking for a suitable room for registration
We will tell you about the most common places.
Cafe
This is an option for those who want to save on a banquet. It is also relevant in the cold season. Renting a hall costs 20-30% less than a restaurant. You can reduce costs even more if you order not the entire cafe, but only one room. This is suitable for a wedding that will be attended by no more than 10-20 people.
Decoration with balloons, flowers, and fabrics is usually provided free of charge.
An important point - in some cafes the rent is free, the bride and groom only pay for the menu. The average bill per person is 1000 rubles. In addition, music equipment may be included in the price.
In the cafe
Restaurant
In summer, you should choose establishments with an open terrace or summer area. Ideally, there should be a beautiful fountain or small lake. Here you can combine registration and a buffet reception, the latter can take place in the banquet hall. The average rental cost is 10,000 per day. When ordering dishes from 30,000 rubles and above, the service is usually provided free of charge. It is also possible to decorate the premises with flower arrangements and other decor without payment.
Museum
In order to hold a ceremony in the museum complex, you need to contact the administration of the institution. Next, you need to book your desired date and time. If you want to hold a banquet in the same place, then you need to submit an application and conclude a contract for the provision of services. To take photos and shoot videos inside the hall of the building, you need to buy tickets or pay the amount specified by the administration. The cost of the service is 30,000-50,000 rubles. Some museums allow official painting.

Manor
An option for those planning a classic wedding. The nuances of renting are the same as in the case of a museum. In the warm season, you can set up an area near the building using tents, but in winter it would be appropriate to settle down in one of the luxurious rooms with a fireplace.
Hotel
The choice of those who want to kill two birds with one stone is to accommodate guests so as not to take them to the registration place and arrange a banquet. The newlyweds themselves can stay overnight here.
The advantage of the hotel is that you can save on transportation of guests and get a substantial discount (up to 50%) on room accommodation.
The hotel staff will decorate the room and prepare the dishes themselves - there will be no need to order additional catering.
On site
Choosing a suitable location is only part of the hassle; then you should beautifully organize on-site registration. Here we tell you what it is and why it is needed, its pros and cons, variations (non-ceremonial and theatrical), and the main necessary accessories.

How much does on-site registration cost?
The cost of on-site marriage registration varies greatly depending on the region and the order in which it is carried out.
An official on-site marriage registration in Moscow will cost from 15,000 to 40,000 - this amount includes renting a place, paying for a registrar to travel, music, and photo and video shooting.
The price of unofficial registration is difficult to predict - it depends on the agency’s prices, the venue (it could be just a cozy place in nature or an elite restaurant) and how many service personnel will be involved.
Preparation Tips
You can entrust the organization of the celebration to an agency, but you can also handle it yourself.
First you will need to choose a place for the celebration. Large restaurants that often host weddings usually have a wedding arch; otherwise, you will have to rent one. Design options can be found on the Internet or come up with yourself - then the ceremony will acquire a special individuality.
If registration is carried out informally, then a facilitator will need to be hired instead of a registrar.
Also, do not forget about photos and videos of the on-site marriage registration. In this case, it is better not to focus on the price of services - high-quality photography cannot be inexpensive. You should definitely look at the specialist’s portfolio and make sure of the quality of his services.
You don’t have to worry about food if the wedding is taking place in a restaurant - most often it will be enough to simply choose from several menu options. If the ceremony will take place in another place, it is worth ordering catering.
Guests do not really like to follow a strict dress code - in invitations it is better to simply give recommendations on the color scheme and warn what the location of the ceremony will be like. Wearing high heels to a sandy beach is not a good idea. It’s prosaic, but if registration takes place outdoors, you should take care of repellents.
If the cost of cleaning is not included in the rental of the venue (for example, if it is held in a forested area), then you will also need to take care of this yourself. A cleaning company can help you remove the trash.
Outdoor wedding ceremony in winter in 2021 - stylish trends, photos
The design of the outdoor ceremony itself on the territory of the banquet hall or in any other rented premises will not differ at all from the summer design. Therefore, the wedding planner will not have any difficulties. The menu and drinks will depend on the style of your wedding and your goals to emphasize the winter season or, on the contrary, “go into summer.” Make sure in advance that all guests arrive safely at the ceremony location, regardless of the weather. In winter, the most worrying factor is the weather. Sudden snowfall or terrible ice. Make sure the parking lot is cleared in advance and your vehicles are ready to drive on ice. Dress for the weather! Getting sick right after your wedding is a terrible idea. It’s better to wear non-sexy thermal underwear under your dress than to run to the doctors for another month after the event. We wish you a beautiful winter wedding!
