Book a civil partnership ceremony
In Scotland, there are two ways to register your Civil Partnership: you can choose to have a ceremony or opt for an administrative registration.
This form is to book a ceremony, officiated by an authorised registrar, should you wish one.
Information on an administrative registration can be obtained by emailing registrationenquiries@argyll-bute.gov.uk
As part of your arrangements, the registration team encourage couples to personalise and enhance their ceremony to make it more personal and meaningful.
Information on all the ceremony rooms available to you and all you need to know about agreed venue arrangements can be viewed on our website here.
You can use this booking system to book your ceremony at any of the registration offices or at any agreed venue in Argyll and Bute. An agreed venue is a place that has been agreed between the couple, the registrar, and the venue owner.
Should you be subject to immigration laws, your minimum notice period may be extended. Please consider this when booking.
