📝 How to Get Married Quickly — The Steps

Getting married at short notice is simpler than you might think — but the order of steps matters. Here's exactly how it works:

Contact us first — we'll confirm your date and check Devon Registrar availability before you do anything else.

Book your venue and Devon Registrar together — once your date is confirmed, we'll send you the link to book the Devon Registration Service. Your venue and registrar must be secured before you give notice.

Give notice at your local register office — you don't need to come to Devon for this. By law everyone must give at least 29 days' notice, so if you give notice on 1st May, the earliest you can marry is 30th May.

Arrive and get married — stress-free, beautiful, and completely yours. 🌟

💫 Please speak to us before contacting your local register office — getting the order right makes everything much smoother.

Flexible Payments for Your Last Minute Wedding

Secure your date with just a 25% deposit, then pay the rest in your own time and at your own pace. No set payment plan — simply make payments as and when it suits you, as long as the full balance is settled 8 weeks before you arrive.

Why Do Couples Choose to Get Married Quickly?

If you've ever caught yourselves saying "let's just do it" — you're exactly who we're here for.

A last-minute wedding isn't a compromise — it's often the opposite. Couples who get married quickly tell us it was the best decision they ever made. No months of planning, no spreadsheets, no trying to keep everyone happy. Just the two of you, a beautiful setting, and the thing that actually matters: getting married.

Our couples often choose to get married quickly because:

The thought of planning a big wedding filled them with dread, not excitement

They'd been engaged for ages and just wanted to actually get married

They were navigating complicated family dynamics and wanted to keep things simple

They wanted to spend their budget on an incredible honeymoon rather than catering for 100 people

One or both had been married before and wanted something low-key and personal

Life is short — why wait when you've found the right person?

They wanted a venue that welcomed and celebrated them without hesitation

They wanted to save money without it feeling like they'd compromised on anything

Sound familiar? We'd love to help make it happen.
