Heading 1

Q: If we’re using an independent celebrant like Will, what do we still need to do legally – and how much does it cost at the register office?

​

A: Great question! To make your marriage legally binding, you just need to book the basic legal registration at your local register office. This usually includes a booking fee and the statutory marriage registration, and it’s typically under £200, though exact prices can vary slightly depending on your local council.

This simple legal step means you're free to have a completely personalised and meaningful ceremony with me, wherever and however you choose!
