Town Hall and Registry Office Wedding FAQs

The price of town hall or registry office wedding venues can vary. It depends where you get married and often the day you choose for the ceremony. As with other venues, midweek dates will be cheaper than weekends for these locations too. In general though, these venues are often on the more budget-friendly end of the spectrum which may give you room to amp up the spend on elements of personalisation and styling such as venue decor.

Of course you can wear a wedding dress to a registry office wedding! There are plenty of fabulous outfit options for brides who are getting married at a registry office, these can include traditional wedding dresses, but they also feature white pant suits, mini dresses, bridal jumpsuits and more. It's your wedding day and you should wear whatever makes you feel amazing.

Yes, you can have your legal marriage or civil partnership ceremony at a registry office or town hall and have a symbolic ceremony on your wedding day. This is a very popular option for couples getting married abroad, those having a religious ceremony that isn't legally recognised in the UK or opting for a celebrant-led wedding ceremony.

While most town hall and registry office venues will allow you to throw confetti after your wedding ceremony, the policy will vary from venue to venue, so it is best to speak to your venue directly about this. In the vast majority of cases, biodegradable or dried petal confetti is widely accepted.

What you choose to do after a registry office wedding is totally down to you. Many couples will hire a wedding venue to host their wedding reception and head to the next location after they've tied the knot. If you are having a very small wedding or eloping, you may wish to celebrate with a fancy dinner involving just the two of you and your guests.
