Leicestershire as part of moves to show getting married need not be too expensive.
The county council is offering a draw where the winners can pick up the free wedding or civil partnership.
The prize is part of an open day to promote the services of the six register offices across the county.
The basic ceremony costs just over £100 but the winner will also get a DVD of the ceremony if held at County Hall.
Other services
Registrar Gill Hall said it would help save money in these difficult times.
"This year I suspect a lot of people might be thinking of putting getting married off because of the media coverage of how expensive it is.
"But an office wedding is quite reasonable and to encourage people to think about that we are giving one office wedding away."
Entry forms are available from an open day to be held at County Hall's Register Office between 1100 and 1600 GMT on 18 January.
Register offices can also offer naming ceremonies, renewal of vows, commitment ceremonies and British citizenship ceremonies.

The cheapest wedding that can be done and has been done was for £250.
How many people can say that they did not spend a fortune on a wedding. It not just the legal requirements of getting married. If that is what brides and grooms only wanted then the wedding industry would not be thriving as it is. It's all the extras that cost, from the cars, cake, invitations, flowers, outfits, reception venues, catering etc that soon add up.
First thing I discuss with my clients is WANT TO YOU WANT FROM YOUR WEDDING? this then tends to put things into prospective.
So if you are thinking about getting married ask yourselves WANT DO YOU WANT FROM YOUR WEDDING? Do we want something initimate or huge and lavish and then ask yourself BUDGET! Want can we afford?
From there take it step by step and ask yourself do we really need this/or can we really afford this item?
Constantly remember BUDGET, BUDGET, BUDGET and you should be fine.
Well that's all for today. Plan well
