If recently married in England and you're born in England please help me understand...
Is a "notice of marriage" and a "wedding licence" the same thing?
If not and they're different, what's the difference, and do I need both?

@Bethany ah okay fab thank you, so just to clarify I'll be getting married at norwich castle, so the venue holds the licence and I don't need to do/ apply for anything to do with a licence to get married there?
No you just need to book the registrar under Norfolk county council/norwich They will then contact you when you are due to give notice and tell you what you need to fill in prior/bring on the day x
Not relevant but my sister got married at Norwich castle and it was fantastic. It went really smoothly x
Notice of marriage is given to the council to let them know you are getting married, they do all the checks that you are who you say you are etc A venue needs a wedding license in order to legally be married there You can have a ceremony somewhere without a license and then officially get married at a registry office x
