Christmas ceremonies at the Register Office
If you're planning a special occasion and love Christmas, you can combine the two at Birmingham Register Office.
Christmas is a time when family and friends may be home for the holidays. We offer a range of ceremonies at our Holliday Street office that can be simple or more detailed, depending on what you want.
At the end of your ceremony, you’ll receive a commemorative certificate to mark the occasion.

You can make promises to support and care for your child and invite grandparents or supporting adults to do the same.
