✨ Feedback Friday ✨

When couples take the time to send us such heartfelt reviews and thank yous, it makes us so incredibly happy. This week we’re shining a spotlight on one of our fabulous Cheshire East registrars, Annette.

After their beautiful ceremony at @rylandsfarmhouse, newly-weds Sophie and Shawn reached out and sent a gorgeous thank you:🙏🏼

“We just wanted to pass on our thanks to Annette and Nancy for conducting our ceremony. Annette was absolutely brilliant. She was so professional but also so caring, helping to calm our nerves and giving tips and tricks to get us through! Annette was amazing at adding humour into the ceremony which helps us a lot as we were so nervous. The love for her job was clear from the moment I met her. The ceremony itself was so beautiful yet emotional & guests were quick to say how lovely it was!

Thank you Sophie and Shawn for your kind words – congratulations from us all once again! 🎉

💌 Just Married & Thinking “How do I Change my Name?”

Your Marriage Certificate has arrived! 🎉 If you're planning to change your name and feeling a bit confused by the whole process, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

✅ Your certificate shows the name you married in (your “old” name, not your “new” one).
✅ You can use it to take your partner’s surname (or vice versa), double-barrel, or keep your own.
✅ Send copies to places like the DVLA, banks, the Home Office, insurance companies, etc.
✅ Processing times vary with each different authority, so ordering extra copies can help speed things up!

💡 If you do need some extra copies and you were married in Cheshire East, you can order them through the link in our bio

*Please note that this is a guide only. It is your responsibility to check that you have informed all the relevant agencies of your name change.

Getting engaged is such an exciting milestone, but once the celebrations begin, it's often followed by one big question: where do we start with wedding planning? 💒 🖊️

From choosing your venue and setting a date to booking your registrars and finding your dream suppliers, there can be a lot to think about. 🤔

That’s why we've put together a simple guide covering the first steps to take after getting engaged. 💍 ✔️

One of our favourite times of the week is where we highlight reviews our Cheshire East registrars have received from our wonderful couples. 💕

Newly Weds Dean and Natasja married at the beautiful Peckforton Castle with our lovely registrars Clarie and Helen and this what they had to say:

“Our registrar was the lovely Clarie and she was amazing, she conducted our ceremony with so much grace, love, humour and respect. We had such lovely comments from our guests too. Helen was amazing and made us feel calmed and relax and made sure all our legal paperwork was in order. We had such a lovely day.”

🙏🏼 Thank you for taking the time to reach out, Natasja and Dean, it was an honour to be part of your special day – congratulations from us all once again. 🎉

🔔 💒 VENUE REAPPROVAL ALERT 🔔 💒

Some exciting news from Your Ceremony HQ! Our Registrars Andrew and Julie have been out and about renewing Marriage and Civil Partnership Approvals for lots of our lovely Cheshire East wedding venues!

First up, we have combermereabbeyweddings, where you can say “I do” in an impressive Edwardian Glasshouse in the beautiful grounds of a medieval estate.

Next we have thebridgecheshire in Prestbury, a historic Grade II listed restaurant sitting on the banks of the river Bolin.

thevicaragecheshire is a contemporarily restored hotel and restaurant on the outskirts of quaint Cheshire village of Holmes Chapel.

Finally, in the leafy village of Wilmslow, with views over the Cheshire countryside, you will find thecolonyhq – an ultra-modern wedding venue offering a unique and stylish backdrop for your wedding day.

Did you know that to legally tie the knot at a venue, the venue must be an Approved Premises?

In Cheshire East, once an approval is granted, it is valid for 3 years.

At your Notice appointment, a registrar may mention to you that your venue’s licence is due to expire. In most cases, this is absolutely nothing to worry about; The Your Ceremony Team will have been working with your venue to organise their renewal. However, it’s definitely worth having a chat with your venue to double-check!

This gorgeous review is for our lovely registrar Jo from Newly Weds, Mr and Mrs Hanna.

“We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding ceremony so special. You were absolutely lovely from start to finish and made us both feel so relaxed and at ease.
Your warmth, kindness, and professionalism really shone through, and you helped create a ceremony that was personal, meaningful, and memorable. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to guide us through such an important moment in our lives.

✨ Top Tips Tuesday ✨

Are you planning an outdoor wedding ceremony? Save this veil hack. ☀️

We’ve all seen the moment when the wind catches a veil and suddenly the veil is having its own big moment! 👰‍♀️ 💨

Our registrar, Annette, has the best advice - ask your bridesmaids to gently weigh the veil down with their bouquets. It helps keep the veil in place, looks lovely in photos, and allows you to stay fully present during your ceremony. 🙌
