How much does a registry office wedding cost in Edinburgh?

A register office wedding in Edinburgh does not have one set price. The fee depends on which room you use, whether you choose a weekday, a Saturday or an evening, and how many guests you want to seat. Some rooms are larger and cost more. The registrar's fee is usually included in the room hire, but you should confirm that when you ask for a quote.

In Scotland, the legal process is different from England and Wales. Each of you must submit a marriage notice to the registrar for the district where the wedding will take place. That notice must be submitted at least 29 days before the wedding, and registrars often advise giving 10 to 12 weeks. The notice fee is separate from the ceremony fee and can change.

You need two witnesses aged 16 or over. Unlike England and Wales, a civil ceremony in Scotland can include some personal content, but the registrar must approve everything in advance. You can also choose to have a humanist or religious celebrant instead, because those are legally binding in Scotland.

For an exact price, contact Edinburgh register office. Ask for a full list of rooms, days and fees. Also ask if there are any extra charges for a longer ceremony or for a second registrar. Then you can budget accurately.
