Ceremonies
Both the Clapton Country Club and The Department of Life can be utilised for wedding ceremonies. Whether legal civil marriage Ceremony or as a faux ceremony, these can both be set up and conducted here
Legal or Faux?
Firstly, a legal or civil ceremony has to be held in licensed premises. Both the Clapton Country Club and the Department of Life are licensed for the purpose of conducting Civil marriage ceremonies under the relevant laws. Legal ceremonies have to be conducted by a registrar. It is important that the registrar is booked at the same time venue is booked so that space and timings can be synchronised.
A faux ceremony has no legal meaning it is simply symbolic and theatrical. This means there is no time restrictions and you can conduct the ceremony utilising a humanist or a celebrant or even go full theatrical with a theme if you so desire. Some people get legally married at a registrar office earlier in the week or year even without fuss but then hold a faux ceremony for friends and family to create a sense of occasion. Ultimately there is no right or wrong way to select a wedding ceremony, it is your choice to make.
