Licensed wedding venues in Staffordshire

41 venues in Staffordshire 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 5 Nov 2026). A further 3 listed venues here have a licence date that has passed; they are labelled “Licence date passed”, so check with the venue and register office. Stoke-on-Trent is a separate unitary council with its own registration service. Staffordshire Ceremonies is part of Staffordshire County Council. The council’s two published sources disagree on the 2026/27 approved-venue fee: the Staffordshire Ceremonies page lists a traditional ceremony at £550 Monday to Friday, £600 Saturday and £650 Sunday and bank holidays (plus a £100 booking fee), while the council’s 2026-27 fees and charges schedule lists £660, £720 and £780 as proposed (plus £120). We quote no single fee, so confirm the figure with the council.
