In this episode, Elissa Da Costa-Waldman MCIArb, Barrister at Westgate Chambers, hosts Vanessa Gardiner, Partner at RWK Goodman, in a lively discussion about Weddings Law Reform.

Marriage Law in England and Wales still largely regulates buildings rather than people, meaning where and how you marry is tightly controlled — and many argue it no longer reflects our diverse modern society

In this episode, they discuss the Law Commission’s Review of major proposed changes, touching upon shifting from regulating venues to regulating officiants, allowing weddings in more places (fields, beaches, private homes), simplifying legal processes and notice requirements along with potential inclusion of non-religious belief organisations and independent celebrants.
