How much does a registry office wedding cost in London?

Short answer

The cost of a register office wedding in London varies by borough, and each council sets its own fees. Prices depend on the day, time, and room you choose. Contact your local register office directly for an accurate quote.

In London, there is no single price for a register office wedding. Each of the 32 boroughs sets its own fees, and they can differ noticeably. The cost usually depends on whether you choose a weekday, a Saturday, or an evening ceremony, and which room you use. Some boroughs charge more for popular times or for larger rooms.

Because fees are set locally, you will need to contact the register office in the borough where you want to marry. They will give you a price list and explain any extra charges, such as the notice fee, which you pay when you give notice at least 28 full days before the ceremony. You may also need to pay for your marriage schedule or document, and for copies of your certificate.

If you are flexible, it can be worth comparing a few boroughs, as prices can vary even between neighbouring areas. Remember that you must give notice in the borough where you have lived for at least the last 7 days, but the ceremony can take place in a different borough if you prefer. Always confirm the total cost in writing before you book.
