Ceremony booking

Booking Fee

Please note that all our bookings are subject to a booking fee. The current fee is £50. This booking fee is a standalone fee & is not deducted from the final fee for your ceremony as it is paid to reserve registrars for the date, time and venue of your ceremony. This fee is VATable, non-refundable and is not a deposit, and any subsequent changes of date, time or venue means you will need to pay this booking fee again.

Book our register office or check the availability of our registrars for your ceremony at an approved venue
