When do we have to remove the decorations?
By 10am the following day.
When can we get access to the function room to decorate?
You may have access from 10:00am on the day of your wedding.
What decorations can we use and how can we put them up in the room?
It’s your day and within reason you can decorate the room as you wish, we only ask that anything affixed to the structure of the building is non-destructive, so for example Blu-Tack is okay, but drawing pins and sticky tape are not.
How far in advance can I book with the registar?
A booking with the registrars for a wedding or civil partnership can be taken up to two years prior to the ceremony.
Can we present our own special vows at the ceremony?
There are a number of ways you can personalise your ceremony including live or recorded music and floral decorations, and we are happy to accommodate your wishes. We want to help make your wedding day perfect. You can include readings of poetry or prose either by one of your guests, yourselves or the superintendent registrar.
Can we get married on any day of the year?
