Local authority approved premises (England and Wales only)
Local authorities in England and Wales may approve premises other than Register Offices where civil marriages may take place. Applications for approval must be made by the owner or trustee of the building, not the couple.
The premises must be regularly open to members of the public, so private homes are unlikely to be approved, since they are not normally open to the public. Stately homes, hotels and civic buildings are likely to be thought suitable. Approval will not be given for open air venues, such as moonlit beaches or golf courses. Generally, the premises will need to be permanent built structures, although it may be possible for approval to be given to a permanently moored, publicly open boat. Hot air balloons or aeroplanes will not be approved.
If you want to get married in local authority approved premises you should obtain a list of premises from the local town hall.

I am almost certain you can't legally marry in your garden under the law of England and Wales, but don't worry, there are plenty of beautiful places where you CAN marry. Go to the website for the county council where you want to marry, and you will find a link called "Getting married in . . . . " e.g. Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk etc. It will tell you all you need to know, and provide links to places where you can be married.
Good luck.

this is not legal in the UK, check out www.confetti.co.uk for approved venues in the UK. However, an alternative to this is to go to the registry office and do the legal bit (say your vows etc) then have a Humanist service in your garden, the Humanist society can provide someone to go over your vows with you in the garden, but as this is not legally binding that is the reason you must go to the registry office first. The website I mentioned above explains in better detail than I can here.

All weddings are Civil ceremonies.
You already know you have to have a Registrar.
The place of the wedding needs to have a permit/approved. But they aren't too hard to come-by. Call & get it done.
Ps. You just might want to start offering your garden as a place for other's weddings.

michael owen wanted to get married in his garden in england but as per local authority legislation wasn't allowed too unless he held a certain number of other weddings in his garden every year. something to do with once you have the relevant licences you have to use them - needless to say he didnt bother
unless you want a load of strangers trampling all over your flowers, i wouldn't recommend it!

No, I think it still has to be indoors at an 'approved' place.
