Marriages and Civil Partnerships

West Berkshire Register Office is located at Shaw House, a 16th century Grade 1 listed building, just on the north side of Newbury.  The historic charm of the building together with the extensive lawned gardens makes it a beautiful setting for your wedding.  You do not have to be a West Berkshire resident to get married at Shaw House and our team of experienced registrars will guide you through the process to help you plan your special day.Click here to get more details about our rooms and ceremonies.

Alternatively, we have over 30 licensed premises in West Berkshire, in a variety of settings, so whether you're looking for a rustic barn set in beautiful countryside or a contemporary, boutique style hotel close to town, you are sure to find a venue to suit your preferences.  Why not browse our list of approved venues for further information.

Shaw House Registration Services

Civil Partnerships

If you have chosen to have a civil partnership, there is no reason why you cannot celebrate in a way that is personal to you.  Once your partnership is legalised by our registrars we can offer a commitment ceremony, either at Shaw House, one of our licenced venues or an alternative venue, tailored to your individual requirements.  You can either do this on the same day or a date of your choosing.
