I'm wondering do I need to book a registrar myself if I want to get married in a castle or hotel? If so how do I go about this? I just have no clue lol please help!!!
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
Yes you do, check you local council for the phone number and a list of premises which are licenced to do them
Our wedding day - 6 October 2012
CommentAuthorJennyHeather
Yes, as Glitterfairy said get in touch with your local council about it, if there is a website then have a look on there as well because there should be loads of advice and venues, (if there is a website).

Yeah u book it yourself,ring ur local one and they'll tell u where to go from there...some will only book from a yr before, some will book before that in advance for a price of around £15 ... U will need to give notice between the 1yr mark to 16 days beforehand cos u have to give notice for at least 15straight days,this costs £35 ish each and if ur both from same place u do this at ur office,otherwise u do it from the ones your both from, then the cost of the civil ceremony depends on the day of the week ur marrying, approx mon-thurs £299, ,fri £304, sat £344 and sun £304,this includes the price of ur wedding certificate which is £4 at the min I believe x

Omg it is so complexed! Thank u for ur help now I'm getting some clue of what I'm doing lol xx
Yeh it is,it's worth a look if u go on the Internet,go on the website for ur local register office, all the info is on there, I did this this afternoon that's why I knew all the prices n stuff... Lucky that this post came up :-) ... Also ur better off getting in a preliminary date with them...I can't see when ur wedding is cos u haven't got ur page unblocked, but registrars do more than one wedding a day so getting ur time in ASAP will guarantee u won't have to get married earlier or later or have to change the day altogether if there's no one available to marry you ...x

Crikey, your district is cheap! Ours are £550 for a Friday, it's a rip off really, they'll only be there for forty minutes or so! Xx

If u get a date for ur wedding venue,u can book the date u want there usually for a week or two without putting a deposit down then u can confirm the registrar is available that day, pay the deposit for venue then pay the advance booking fee for registrar?x

Most venues will let you book the date provisionally and hold the date for a couple of weeks to give you time to book the reg and pay the deposit. The registrar will want to know the venue, so your best of doing that first. The earliest you will be able to give notice will be a year before your wedding day, and I believe you need to know the venue when you give notice.
Check with your registrar whens the earliest you can book a date - ours let you pay a deposit to book a slot for the registrar up to two years in advance, but this varies from district to district - some won't let you book until you give notice, but I think most will let you reserve a date before that.

our was £410.. and I don't think they're there for an hour. Mind the lady was very nice and gave lots of ideas like people doing readings to pad it out a bit (else it's very quick).
CommentAuthorLauraJo87
I think I goes by council districts, so it could be under the same council maybe. Xx

if its only in the next time you might both be in the same district so could be the same registrar office as your own town if you heck with the venue they will be able to tel you which office you need to book with.
i actually rang the wrong office for my venue as its not far away thought it was scunthorpe but its actually Lincoln.
kelbel where are you getting married have you booked your venue x
CommentAuthorTori
Make sure you provisionally book ASAP as your preferred slot may end up taken
CommentAuthor*KelBel*
Hey krissy,yes I've booked my venue,it's elsham hall in brigg which is served by Scunthorpe,where's yours?:-)

Our Registrar is £529! I phoned in August 2012 to enquire as to when we should book a Registrar for a July 2014 wedding & gave the lady the date & time of our wedding & there were only 2 slots left available!! So I would def phone as soon as you can & ask as a lot of brides have the same idea about getting in there early! We paid £50 deposit too xx

ours was £540 for a saturday wedding! the inlaws paid so i am happy! We have given notice too so things are in motion but they didnt speak to us in regards to the process of the day. We have a form to complete with readings etc Fathers info and photogrpaher info but nothing else! Do i contact them a few weeks before big day and ask about the process of the day!?
CommentAuthorLulu1388
we didnt have anything like that either. weve had the paperwork through to go through the vows/readings etc like you Ruth but thats it. we have to choose etc & then send it back within whatever date it is. and a reminder to pay by 12 wks before! no talk of process... i think they do it in the interview in the morning of the wedding but not 100% sure! glad im not the only 1... x
