How much does a registry office wedding cost in Birmingham?

Short answer

The cost of a register office wedding in Birmingham varies by ceremony type and day, and fees are set locally, so the exact figure is not fixed here. Contact Birmingham Register Office or check GOV.UK for the current fee list.

To marry in Birmingham, you and your partner must each give notice in person at the register office where you have lived for at least the last 7 days. Notice must be given at least 28 full days before the ceremony. The notice fee and the ceremony fee are separate, and both can vary.

Birmingham Register Office will tell you the exact cost for a weekday or weekend ceremony, and for a small or larger room. You need two witnesses on the day. Since 2021, you sign a marriage schedule or document, not a register book. Civil ceremonies cannot include religious content, but you can include poems and non-religious readings with the registrar's agreement.

For the most reliable figures, contact Birmingham Register Office directly or check GOV.UK. Fees can change, and there may be extra charges for a Saturday or for a ceremony room with more space. Plan ahead, as popular dates book quickly, and confirm the total cost before you pay any deposit.
