Formalities

Once you have selected a date and time for your wedding, you should then contact the Superintendent Registrar at Oldway Mansion, Paignton, TQ3 2TU to make arrangements to formally “Give Notice” and to receive confirmation of their availability for the date and time you have selected.

The fee for the ceremony is paid directly to the Superintendent Registrar.

If you live outside of the Torbay area you will need to make an appointment with the Superintendent Registrar in the district in which you live.
