Here at Charlton Athletic, we recognise that your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life and we are dedicated to making it perfect for you and your guests.
When you book your wedding at The Valley, you can be sure that no matter how big or small your wedding party is, our experienced team will guarantee that everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Your wedding is unique and we will make certain that everything happens as you have planned, to help create a magical day.
Once your function is booked, we look forward to working with you towards a hugely successful and enjoyable day, one which your guests will talk about for weeks afterwards. We can help organise any of the important additional services that you may require, including entertainment, flowers and photographers.
What's more, the club has a wedding licence, so it's possible to conduct a civil marriage ceremony at The Valley, too.
If you would like to arrange an appointment to view the facilities, discuss your event or check availability of dates, please call our conference and banqueting department on 020-8333 4040 or email sales@cafc.co.uk.
Suites
Your function can be held in any of our purpose-built suites, with one of our wedding packages able to cater for anywhere from 10 to 1,000 guests.
The north-stand facilities has views over the pitch and can cater for a dinner for up to 450 guests and a party for up to 1,000 guests. This facility is available evenings and weekends for your party and can be partitioned to fit the size of your event.
The Millennium Suite, stretching the length of the west stand, boasts magnificent views of the famous Valley pitch. It is the ideal venue for large banquets, parties and receptions from 80 to 200 guests (minimum number 80).
The boardroom is a private, exclusive suite ideal for smaller intimate dinners and parties.
The Greenwich Suite is perfect for parties and dinners of up to 70 guests and is one of the most popular suites for smaller wedding parties at The Valley.
The Observatory Suite, split on two levels and overlooking the Millennium Dome, Canary Wharf and the Thames Barrier, is a great setting for small parties and cocktail receptions.
All of the suites contain private bar facilities and are booked for your exclusive use. Each suite must be booked with one of our wedding packages and an evening buffet.
Please note that we have our own chefs and we provide the catering.
Ceremony
As soon as provisional arrangements have been made for your marriage at The valley, you should contact:
Tony Jarman, The Superintendent Registrar, Woolwich Town Hall, Wellington Street, London SE18
Without the presence of the Superintendent Registrar and a Registrar, there can be no marriage. It is therefore essential that you contact the Superintendent Registrar once arrangements have been made. A fee for this attendance to the Superintendent Registrar will be payable before the ceremony.
You will have to give notice of marriage to the Superintendent Registrar of the district you live in. The notice must be given in person by at least one of the couple as soon as possible, and is valid for 12 months.
When notice is given in a registration district other than Greenwich, you will have to collect the authority before the ceremony and ensure it is delivered to the registrar.
Only a civil, non-religious ceremony can be permitted by the Superintendent Registrar. Any music, reading, words or performance which form any part of the ceremony must therefore be secular. The content of the ceremony must be agreed in advance with the Superintendent Registrar who attends the ceremony.
Provisional bookings with the Registrar can be made 12 months in advance. However, they cannot be confirmed until three months prior to the event date.
Any queries relating to any of the above points can be dealt with by the registry office.
We ask that you provide any CDs that you wish to be played before and after the ceremony.
The hire of the room for the civil ceremony at The Valley is £250 (plus VAT).
