When planning your wedding we understand there is a lot to think about. To help plan your day we have put together our frequently asked questions for your perusal.
Can I provisionally book a date?
We can hold a date for you for 10 days after your viewing. If we have not heard from you after 10 days we will release the date.
Do we need to contact the Registrars?
As soon as you have decided on a date please ensure you check availability with the registrar. Payment for your ceremony is to be made directly with the registrars and once booked please advise us of the ceremony time.
