Updated guidance for small marriages and civil partnerships
This guidance is national guidance that applies across England.
However, you should also consider if local restrictions are in place when reading and implementing all guidance.
You can access the current guidance on the GOV.UK website, at this link.
The government guidance for marriage and civil partnership has been drafted on the basis of the scientific evidence available and will be updated as necessary as more data becomes available on COVID-19.
Marriages and civil partnerships are a vital part of our society, uniting couples to start their new life together and affording certain legal rights. However, by their very nature, in bringing families and friends together, they are particularly vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19. The advice includes how and when to use face coverings.
