    Hi,

    I'm hoping to get hitched this year and it'll be a civil ceremony. Does anyone know if you can get married anywhere other than a registry office? :confused:

    Has anyone got married in the Unitarian Church in Stephen's Green as this may be an alternative.

    Thanks for your feedback on this.

    Hi
    I am nearly certain that you can get married outside of a registry office set-up. I can give you two leads that may be of some help:

    a) Check out this article

    b) Check with the Office of The Registrar of Civil Marriages, Sir Patrick Duns Hospital, Lwr Grand Canal St., Dublin 2 (tel; 01-6787114/01-6787115).

    c) Read the article on Alternative Weddings in this month's issue of 'Irish Brides' magazine (Jan - March 2007, Issue No. 95). See Page 44 about the church blessing that this couple had in UCD's Unitarian Church on Stephen's Green.

    Hope this is of some help to you.
    Good luck with the wedding plans! My fiance and I will be getting married in October and will have a Quaker ceremony...
    Regards,
    Corvid

    I'm afraid the only place you have a civil ceremony in Ireland is in a registry office.

    A report was published (at least a year ago) that recommended that other venues should be available for use, but nothing has been done yet.
    Check out http://www.groireland.ie/getting_married.htm.

    Good luck!!

    Hi,

    Thanks for replying. Looks as if the law hasn't caught up with itself yet.

    Good luck with your wedding.

    Incorrect, there are a multitude of places where you can hold a civil ceremony in Ireland once they are on the list of places with the license. The only rules that are needed, plus the license of course are that the location must be available for the public to enter at will and that it must be indoors, the indoors one can be "worked around" kind of, if you get married under a roof. Use your imagination.

    I'm sure the OP appreciates that advice 7 years after the fact!
