Geoff:
In the UK, if a marriage is not conducted at a place of worship, it 
is usually at a Registry Office, by the Registrar of Births, 
Marriages and Deaths or his/her representative. Nowadays, some other 
places are also licensed but, certainly in Tom Riddle Snr's day, it 
would be the church or the registry office.
