How much does a registry office wedding cost in Cardiff?

Short answer

The cost of a register office wedding in Cardiff depends on your ceremony type and day, and fees change, so the exact figure is not fixed here. Contact Cardiff Register Office or check GOV.UK for the current fee list before you book.

You will need to give notice at your local register office at least 28 full days before the ceremony, and you must have lived in the area for at least the last 7 days. The notice fee and the ceremony fee are separate, and both can vary. Cardiff Register Office will confirm the current charges for a weekday or weekend ceremony, and for a basic or upgraded room.

Your legal ceremony can take place at the register office or at an approved venue. Since 2021, you sign a marriage schedule or document on the day, not a register book. You need two witnesses. Civil ceremonies cannot include hymns, prayers or religious readings, but poems and non-religious readings are fine if the registrar agrees.

For the most accurate and up-to-date costs, contact Cardiff Register Office directly or check GOV.UK. Fees can change, and there may be extra charges for a larger room or a Saturday slot. Plan to book your notice appointment early, as dates fill up.
