Question about seating plan at Marylebone Town Hall or other Reg Offices

I think you can sit wherever you want tbh, I've never seen it brought up as a thing, I think they just walked in and plonked down! Which room are you going to be in?

I think its up to you how you want it?

As an aside is Marylebone Town Hall not closing/closed for refurbishments? I recall seeing something about it in the info we recieved from our registrars in Westminster.

Maybe the photo you saw was signing the register?

Yep Funky is right, it's sadly closing it was a really popular registry office, not sure when it's happening

I thought it had already closed but perhaps not. Was a bit gutted as we wanted to book it for next year! Registry office weddings are going to be at Mayfair Library which looks lovely and is in a fantastic location but can only accommodate 40 guests or thereabouts.

Were they the witnesses? We got married in Wandsworth Town Hall and had our brothers as our witnesses. They sat next to us during the ceremony. I'm sure you can ask if you'd rather have it differently.

We're going to be in the large reception room with the wooden panels The seating was definitely for the ceremony and not signing of register, to be honest I never thought about it until I saw the pictures but we have a chance to ask about it before hand so it shouldn't be a problem, I just thought it was odd.

Yes Marylebone Town Hall is closing for almost 3 years for refurbishment, originally we wanted our wedding in September but it's closing on 31st August so we went with 17th August so we will be one of the last ones in. ITV are doing a programme about the Town Hall and we've been asked if we want to take part, still thinking about that one but it could be fun.

There were rumours that it was closed for the whole of 2013, I've certainly seen this on some of the forums. It does actually say on their website but council websites are horrendous to find information you need that I'm not surprised really.

Thanks for your help, I'm a reassured now, it would have been be a bit crowded as my H2B has two best men.

I've shot there twice this year so it wasn't closed back in March, I've shot in the blue room and yellow room, they might be the smaller ones I think!
