You can choose if you want live music (like a group with violins or a harp player) during your ceremony. Or you can make a playlist on your iPod and we’ll play it. We suggest you have a few songs as your guests arrive, one for when the Bride comes in, two during the signing, and one for when you leave.
Yes, your Registrar would conduct the civil ceremony first and once they have left, your religious blessing can take place.
Chiavari chairs are included in our package with a sash colour of your choice – We have lots of colours to choose from!
Certainly, to clarify, if you have booked either any Room or The Chapel, you will be pleased to know that the aisle carpet is included in your package at no additional cost. This means that you do not have to worry about sourcing a separate aisle carpet for your wedding ceremony, as it is already taken care of as part of your booking. Additionally, this ensures that the carpet will complement the decor of your chosen venue and provide a smooth and elegant walkway for you and your partner as you make your way towards your loved ones. We hope this information helps in your wedding planning process and we look forward to being a part of your special day.

It is of utmost importance to remain compliant with regulatory guidelines surrounding official notices and filings. As mandated by legal statutes, it is necessary to give the Registrar a notice period of 28 days before any amendment or changes to existing documents or records. This regulatory requirement is intended to give ample time for the Registrar to process and review the proposed changes or amendments, in order to ensure their validity and accuracy.
In certain, highly unusual circumstances, there may be a need for expedite processing for time-sensitive record changes or amendments. In such situations, a special licence may be made available, subject to approval and granting by the Registrar. It is recommended to utilize this option only when absolutely necessary, and to promptly complete any necessary actions or filings in compliance with statutory, legal requirements.
Our packages are based on 60 guests all day and evening.
Every day apart from Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day, as you would be unable to secure a Registrar to conduct the ceremony on these days.
