If you love Christmas and are thinking of planning a special occasion to celebrate, why not combine the two?

Christmas is the time of year when family and friends may be home for the holidays; Birmingham Register Office can help you share memorable moments at Christmas that you'll never forget.

We offer a range of ceremonies at our Holliday Street office which can be tailored to be as simple or as complex as you wish.

At the end of the ceremony you will receive a unique commemorative certificate as a memento of the occasion.

Naming ceremony

These are a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of a new baby or to welcome an adopted child or step children into your family and wider community.

Surrounded by your loved ones, you can make promises of commitment to nurture and support your child.

The ceremony gives supporting adults or grandparents the chance to promise to provide a special supportive relationship with your child as they grow.

Hold a naming ceremony.

Commitment ceremony

Available for couples of any gender who may be unable or choose not to have a legal marriage or civil partnership but still wish to publicly declare their life-long commitment, love and dedication to each other.

A commitment ceremony offers the chance to express love and devotion in the presence of family and friends, where you can make promises and vows to each other, exchange rings and include poems and readings in a personalised unforgettable ceremony.

Arrange a commitment ceremony.

Renewal of vows ceremony

The ceremonies are generally linked with special anniversaries but are appropriate for couples at any stage of their lives together.

Declare your love to mark a milestone, to celebrate a new beginning or after a marriage abroad. A renewal of vows ceremony is a perfect way to show your commitment to each other.

Renew your vows.
