About The Pickwick Room - Ipswich Town Hall
At Ipswich Register Office, couples hold their civil marriage or civil partnership ceremony in the Pickwick Room inside Ipswich Town Hall, a historic municipal building in the centre of Ipswich. Ceremonies here are conducted by Suffolk Registration Service officiants and take place Monday through Saturday, with afternoon bookings available on Saturdays and Sundays from April 2026.
The Pickwick Room can be booked with room hire included and is accessible, with assistance dogs permitted. Guests, photographers and children count towards the maximum guest number of up to 36 people plus the couple. Suffolk residents and couples from elsewhere both use this venue for its accessible town-centre location and the flexibility to personalise aspects such as music and ceremony wording. The process requires giving notice of marriage in advance through a Register Office appointment. As part of the wider Suffolk Register Office weddings service, this ceremony option offers a straightforward legal service with the freedom to add personal touches, and couples often pair the ceremony with a separate reception in nearby venues around Ipswich.
