Each ceremony is capped at a maximum of 50 applicants and admission times are 9.30am, 11.30am and 2.30pm but this is subject to change at short notice.
If you have chosen an in-person ceremony you will be automatically assigned to the earliest available ceremony upon a fully completed and paid application.
