Licensed wedding venues in North Somerset

14 venues in North Somerset hold an in-date approval for civil marriages and civil partnerships on the GOV.UK approved premises list (file dated 17 Oct 2025; expiry dates checked 25 Oct 2026). North Somerset is a unitary council. Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset and Somerset are separate councils with their own registration services. The council’s fees page lists £570 Monday to Saturday, £630 Sunday and £750 bank holidays for a classic ceremony at approved premises (£645, £705 and £825 for an enhanced one), but it prints no year, still shows a notice fee that changed in April 2026, and refers couples to the Somerset Wedding Service website for current fees. We quote no single fee, so confirm the figure with the council.
