Capacity, as stated by the venues

Prices, as published by the venues

We do not band or rank these: packages differ. Quotes are exact, with the date we read them.

Ceremony rooms

The national list approves a building, not named rooms. Your council’s register names the approved rooms and any approved outdoor areas, so check it, and ask the venue which room holds your guest count.

Registrar and fees

Book the registrar through the local service: Devon Registration Service: find a venue.

The registrar’s fee at approved premises is set by the council and varies by day. Check the council link above for the current figure.

Notice of marriage (each)£46.50 (£63 where an immigration referral applies)
Register office ceremony (statutory room)£62
Certificate on the day£12.50
Minimum statutory total£167.50 (2 × £46.50 + £62 + £12.50, our arithmetic)

Sources: Registration Fees Regulations 2016, Schedule 1 (legislation.gov.uk); Ceredigion County Council fees 2026-27, checked 20 Oct 2026. Approved premises ceremony fees are set by each council and are much higher. For example, Ceredigion charges £474–£747. Check your council’s current fees.

Licences expiring by Oct 2027 (52)

If your date is after the expiry, ask the venue whether it has applied to renew.
