Apply for a venue licence to hold weddings and civil partnerships

Processing your application 

When we've received your application or renewal, we'll: 

• post it on our website for a 21-day consultation period
• inspect your venue 

If granted, an approval lasts for 5 years. 

Making changes to your application during the consultation period 

If you want to change something in your application, such as adding an extra room or linked outdoor area, email us at licensing@royalgreenwich.gov.uk. This will extend the consultation period, and we may apply an additional fee for reprocessing your application.

We’ll advise you of the fee due. 

Major changes 

In most cases, to make changes to your approval, you’ll need to complete
