Hello,


My partner and I are getting married next Autumn. Our plan is to have a very intimate ceremony close to home in London during the week (non church) and then to have a celebration of our marriage at the weekend in the peak district (where we are both from). I'm hoping this will keep costs down.


Despite this I'd like somewhere prettier than some of the local registry offices to actually get married. It will be a family only service of approx 15 people and we will not require anything other than the ceremony itself.


Any thoughts on a local and reasonably priced venue for this?


Thanks

I was also pleasantly surprised at how attractive the Southwark Register office is. Mr Saff and I were married there. We looked at the Hornimal too, but alas they weren't offering winter ceremonies (we were married in Jan). So be sure you check the dates available, as some venues are limited. Also look at Dulwich Picture Gallery.
We recently got married in the Council Chamber of Hackney Town Hall. It's a beautiful room with oak pannelled walls and seats in a tiered horseshoe shape so everyone can see you. Th town hall itself on Mare Street is a gorgeous Art Deco building with stone steps at the front which are perfect for a photo opportunity. The registrars are very helpful - the whole thing was lovely It's set back from the road as well, so no traffic streaming by. We had so many positive comments from our guests, I would definitely recommend it.

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
