Bit of a stoopid question..

It varies from area to area, but we booked our registrars and paid a £100 deposit with 14 months to go. We then gave notice and paid the notice fee of £35 each, with 9 months to go. The balance of £404 is then due 6 weeks before the wedding.

Hope that helps! And it is NOT a stupid question!!

The best thing to do is to ring the local authority where you are getting married and ask - they are all different, and have different rules about when you can book/how much it costs etc.

You might be a bit too far away from your date at the moment, as from what I've seen on here most LAs won't let you formally reserve a date more than 12 months in advance, all though they will usually pencil it in for you.

If you aren't getting married under the same LA you live under, you will have to register in both; again the processes for this vary from LA to LA so just ask when you call.

Good luck and congratulations!

Just booked ours this week for our October 2016 wedding. Paid £100 deposit. Rest of balance payable later. Also will give notice next Nov :-)
Ours is £520 all in with 'notice' fees…☺️

I did not have to pay any deposit. My wedding is not unti may 2016 but I booked early as wanted my pick of the times.

I'm getting married March 2016 and booked the registrars in July 2014. It wasn't a problem. I paid the deposit of £50 and need to pay the £350 left closer to the time.

Hope that helps

My Wedding is August 2016 - we paid a 75 quid deposit for the day and time then we give notice at another 70 quid (35 each) then think it's 425 .

This is in Staffordshire if that helps.

SO expensive!!

Ours is booked for july 2016 and i booked the registrar in August this year and paid a £150 deposit with total cost being £395.

i think it depends were you are though

We couldn't book ours till 12 months before so I called up exactly 12months to the day to book the registrar paid £30 deposit and then we both went to give notice about a month later and had to pay another £70 then that's west Lancashire x
