Wayneos Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Just wondering if anyone could sort of point me in the direction of how much (Roughly) it would cost for a reg' office wedding, I know the prices of the actual wedding £105...but I'm talking for like the cars, flowers, and everything else...I am trying to look into it but being a male I have no idea and I can't discuss it with the missus as she doesn't completely know, all she know is that she wants to get married. Thanks all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemima Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 We did our wedding on a budget and it was fantastic, I wouldnt change a bit of it. We had a reg office wedding at Rotherham and had the meal and eve do at The Red Lion at Todwick and they were great, they threw in the bridle suite with the booking and were very organised and made our day special. We didnt have cars and I decorated a cake myself. I got my dress in the sales as we got married in Sept (a good time to buy a dress). I was late to the reg office, so arrived in a bit of a fluster, but they were very understanding and we were ages taking photos inside and out. I did think about a civil ceremony but the prices were ridiculous and the day is about getting married after all. It cost £1500 including photographer.

ProPix Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I love working down at the sheffield registry office now .. its not like it was at the wedding cake .. and there are lots of places to take photographs outside too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkie Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 The registrar has to check the details of botht the bride and the groom immediately prior to the wedding - there is no reason to check them both together, this is a logistical thing. For people who arn't wanting the 'big church wedding', have you thought about going to a non-conformist church whose weddings are much more personal. They are conducted by the minister, and the registrar has to attend to do the registering only. I conducted a wedding a few weeks ago, and the service was very personal, not like being read out of a book. The only wording that has to be in are the legal bits.

We had an appointment at the register office on 2nd January, prior to our wedding later this month. We asked about whether we could do the 'formalities' separately on the day, and they said they don't do that anymore. It's a bit of a disappointment, but we're certainly not going to let it spoil our day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jillybabes Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 We are getting married there in August, I may sound a bit thick here but do you walk down the aisle and have your dad give you away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
