If you wish to combine the ceremony with the matriculation, you will need to submit applications for an off-site ceremony. Here you can listen to whether it is worth combining with the matriculation and what a ceremony combined with the matriculation looks like. You do not need to inform the matriculation about us additionally; our celebrant will contact the matriculation staff a week before the ceremony.

We most commonly recommend carrying out the metrical part at the start of the ceremony. This helps to avoid a multitude of misunderstandings, as the metrical officials have a limited time for one ceremony and cannot wait any longer. They need to be met, and the documents of the bride and groom, as well as the witnesses, need to be shown. 
How does it all work?
Metrication arrives at the ceremony venue. She is greeted by our master of ceremonies.
For metrical purposes, the documents of the young person and witnesses are shown (often the metrical office wants to see the witnesses who submitted the documents).
The ceremony is opened by our master of ceremonies, who makes an introduction and presents the metrication.
The marriage is being registered in the name of the Republic of Lithuania. (Document signing only, with all personal elements – vows, ring exchange – at the end of the ceremony with our celebrant.)
However, we all know that marriage is more than just signatures. This is where the personal part begins (telling your story, rituals, vows, and the exchange of rings)
Based on our experience, it's best to insert the metrics section after a brief introduction by the master of ceremonies, but of course, you choose.
If you would like to have the civil registry part at the end of the ceremony, an additional person/coordinator would be needed to meet the civil registry employee, show them your and your witnesses' documents, and remind them of the proceedings. In this case, we could start the ceremony 15-20 minutes earlier.
