Hi everyone! I'm looking for some honest advice! My partner and I are...

My parents got married at a registry office and it was lovely. I always think it is more about who is with you than where you are.

I think it's lovely. My brother got married in a beautiful Reg office with close family and friends and then we had a BBQ in a garden it was so nice x

You don't need to
Get married at your most local one. Some of them are lovely. Have a look around your surrounding areas.
My closest one is just an office but a 10 minute drive for us and we're in Glasgow city centre, and we are getting married in the city chambers which is still a reg office but lovely inside and a lot of places to get pictures etc. The room we've picked holds 17 people, but there was smaller or larger options available.

I got married less than a week ago in a registry office and i find that rather an offensive thing to call it, it was in actual fact beautiful and it was personal

There's nothing wrong with doing it at a registry office! Lots of my friends have and they've always had a lovely setting.

Why don't you do that and then throw a wedding party after? That way you may feel like you're getting more of a celebration! It doesn't haven't to be expensive, but that way you could still have your 'first dance' and maybe include other parts of a day that you'd like to have.

I'm marrying in 10 days in a registry office with 2 witnesses as we just want to be married. This is with a view to have a bigger celebration with family and friends later on down the line. Do what makes you happy and it will be a perfect day x

I am getting married in a registry office in June and I can't wait!!!! They're so much nicer and personal with the guests you want rather than have to have. It's about who you are with rather than where...money isn't everything and pleasing everyone isn't what it's about. If you's want to be married just do it, and then have a party after ️x

My local registry office is stunning. It has a huge chandelier & fine antique furnishings. I can't wait to get married there in 2 months time xx

There's nothing wrong with them. I wish we had done that as we are now in 6k of debt that going to take up to 3 years to pay off! Also have a look at your local museum's. My brother is getting married in one next week and it is stunning! Far cheaper than an official wedding venue too at around £350! They are having a party in a hall after

At the end of the day the venue is just that it's about the marriage but if you do t want an registry office wedding have a look online to see where is licensed to perform the ceremony x

This is their venue

Registry office weddings can be lovely, and done easily on a budget. Fir me at least, it's the bits after the ceremony that are more important-the reception and evening, where I got to celebrate with my friends and family. The ceremony itself was over so fast, I barely remember it!

My parents married in a registary office and it was beautiful they had a meal at a pub after and a marquee and it was perfect xx

You could use a Celebrant ? Get the marriage certificate with 2 witnesses from your registry office then have a unique bespoke ceremony at your chosen location so its a full wedding with family and friends in one place x

I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to planning a wedding is worrying about other people's opinions; no one's opinion matters! Have what you want and don't even give people's opinions a second thought. Registry offices can be really nice and they're much less money which is good if you have a little one and a small budget. An intimate wedding with just nearest and dearest sounds lovely :)

We got married quickly and cheaply and did registrars office at 5.30 pm with just family and then went straight to a local social club and had a big party with a dj and a big buffet and invited all of our friends to just that bit. It was perfect for us, a wedding can be as big or as small, and as cheap or as expensive as you want it to be, as long as at the end of the day you're married to your soul mate it doesn't really matter how you did it xx

Go for it. I would have chosen the local registry but sadly its just a little to small. To be honest the actual ceremony part is so quick and I personally feel that if you are not religious and want a religious ceremony in a church, as long as you like the venue it doesn't matter where it is.

We had registry office wedding just this Friday gone and it was perfect. We had the family there that we wanted and a couple close friends. We then in the evening hired a function room set it up ourselves and then had an amazing reception. It was a perfect day and we kept the whole thing under £2000. Well under if you ask me :) x

Hi, no matter how big the display of a wedding you and up exactly the same married.... it's not even about the people there its about you, your partner and your kids...
No matter how big and glamorous you have it it could down to a price of legal paper that day you are commited to each other.
If you want it that bad. Have a small wedding with close family and then a huge party after.....

It's lovely it's quick it's easy and it's cheaper! We're having a registry office wedding, mainly because my OH is not religious whatsoever so says no to a church. I quite like the registry offices. They look warmer our local one holds 40 people

My mum got married at Waltham Forest Register Office and it was a beautiful wedding. It has a gorgeous garden too. Then we went to the function room at a local restaurant for the dinner and dance. Tbh the main reason we didn't go for reg office is capacity (we have nearly 150 guests invited). At the end of the day all that matters is that you're marrying the person you love.

If it's not what you want, I would wait a bit longer and save the money to do it how you want.. you will regret it otherwise and you should look back on your wedding day with pride not with regret xx

Im having it at a registry office with about 25/30 people. I'm doing an extended ceremoney which is half hr then half hr for pics in the courtyard. So an hr altogether. X

We got married at Brighton Registry office which was beautiful! And so well priced too! We spent a total of approx £3000 on our wedding (including our 10 night honeymoon) wedding don't have to cost a fortune, as long as you do what you both want you'll love it!!

It's your decision! Do what you want not what others want.

My mum and step dad got married in a registry off with just their kids my mums parents and my step dads sister and niece and then we went for a meal after and it was such a lovely day x

And another perspective - I'm a very close friends of Helen Kiss's and not going... but I'm literally so so pleased for her that she is having the wedding they want and there is no nastiness there- (as long as we get a pic !!) LOVE U KISS!! Sooooooo excitied for you!! X

Some places do low budget weddings for £1000 with just small family members and friends it's worth a look around the place I'm getting married at does something like this The South Causey Inn :) good luck but there's nothing wrong with a registry office !!

This is our local registry office where we get married in July. They aren't all small poky buildings!

It's not Iike one out one in, my first was a church service and my second is registry office, we aren't religious and this time round I prefer that it's not so strict and more relaxed but just as legal, I wish we'd kept it to just immediate family though, a lot to be said for small and intimate, less stress for a start lol

We ended up in this exact situation and did the registry office wedding!

We were the only ones getting married that week.

Had a totally personalised ceremony to suit us.

It didn't feel rushed or anything.

We then had a party in the evening.

To be honest the day was amazing and I'm glad I didn't waste money on a more expensive place.

We had church wedding as that is what we wanted however I would have quite happily have got married in registry office with hubby and kids as the whole why is that person invited all day and such a such person is only evening that bit of the wedding i hated. But do what's right for you. There are some nice registry offices xx

Me and my wife got married in total secret with just two witnesses and our son then we went on a luxury holiday/honeymoon the next day and told everyone what we had done when we got back it was amazing and so surreal, we celebrated for weeks after everyone was shocked but happy for us, we are so glad we did this way it was much for meaningful to us to say our vows just to each other not a room full of people x

If you just want get married and then I think it be perfect if two people so desperate get married it shouldn't matter where when how they do it you can make it still as special if you have 20 guest or 200 guest I'd you spend 2000 or 20000 it's all about two people who love each other want spend their rest their lives together do what you want

I got married in a registry office and it was absolutely lovely. Did everything that I asked, and the people were so lovely. X

I want a registry office wedding with my partner John as I jus want to marry him and not have the big expense and then we can start adding to our family x

We're getting married in a registry office late afternoon then going straight into a party.. We'll have our closest family at the ceremony and everyone else at the party..

We are getting married in our local registry office. Both sets of parents got married in the same registry office. It's beautiful and many registry offices are stunning :-) it's really personal preference x

Me and my oh will be getting married in a registry office with just close family, if that's what you want to do just go for it. x

Try Gretna Green Weddings At The Mill Forge - we had a wonderful day and there were only 11 of us. xxx

Hello. I am getting married in march 2018 at our local registry office, they offer a poets room for up to 75 guests. We are only inviting close family for the ceremony and friends for evening. We are on a budget and wouldn't have ever been able to afford everything in one venue. I think it's a brill idea as you would still be getting married in front of family.
