We are thrilled to be able to offer Box End Park as a venue for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships. The Cedar Room, Maple Room and Restaurant are all licensed for civil ceremonies and can seat small groups up to larger gatherings of 130 guests attending the service.

The Cedar Room
The Cedar Room is an ideal room for civil ceremonies seating up to 50 guests. Double doors open out onto the main gallery which overlooks the bar and restaurant below and boasts great views across the Southern Lake making it the perfect spot for guests to gather after the ceremony for a glass of fizz to celebrate!

The Maple Room
Perfect for an intimate ceremony with close friends and family the Maple Room seats up to 18 guests including the bride and groom. Situated at the quietest end of the building this bright and airy room enjoys superb views over the Southern lake with double doors opening onto a large outdoor balcony.

The Restaurant
With its impressive contemporary architecture the Restaurant is the jewel in the crown of our stunning Canadian cedar building. Couples who choose to tie the knot in these grand surroundings can exchange their vows against the backdrop of the lake and River Great Ouse.

All our licensed rooms have disabled access, plenty of natural light and the facility to play music as well as a dedicated coordinator on-hand throughout the proceedings to liaise with the Registration staff, Bride & Groom and to greet your guests.

If you wish to hold your civil ceremony or civil partnership at Box End Park we are permitted to hold a provisional booking until you have booked the Registrar for your chosen date and time. This can only be done 12 months in advance by contacting Bedford Register Office on 0300 300 8089. All arrangements for the ceremony, including readings and music, should be confirmed with the Registrar’s Office. All fees relating to the ceremony itself are payable to the Registrar’s Office and are not included in the price of room hire.
