Bespoke ceremonies
Our Ceremony Team will do their best to make your special day one you will never forget from the moment you step into the building until the second that you leave!
You have chosen to have your Ceremony within Coventry and we know you will have a lot of questions and plans for your special day. At the Coventry Register Office, we are proud to have a Ceremony Team dedicated to make your Ceremony as perfect as we possibly can.
If you have your ceremony in the Black Prince Room, The Queen Isabella Room at Cheylesmore Manor House, or a licensed venue in Coventry you have the choice of a Classic Ceremony or take the opportunity to create your own Bespoke Ceremony.
If you book your ceremony from the 1st April 2023 you will now have the opportunity to have a bespoke ceremony and an appontment with the Ceremony Co-ordinator. You will recieve an email on booking your ceremony including a link to make an appointment straight away.

If you booked your ceremony before 1st April 2023 you can still book an appointment with our experienced Ceremony Co-ordinator at a cost, who will meet with you in our Ceremony Suites at Cheylesmore Manor House or via Microsoft Teams at request. The Ceremony Coordinator will talk you through your ceremony, answer any questions and personalise your ceremony with you; No two relationships are the same and no two weddings should be.

We couldn’t have asked for a better lady to put everything in place for us and took all the stress away. Claire has a knack of making you feel like you are the only ones at the ceremony, a true professional. Made our day so special.
