Registrar

Lots! The local authority will have set prices. Ours is Surrey County Council and the cost is £695. You will also have to pay the local authority where you live (which may be different) to give notice - usually £35 each.

We are looking to get married in Cornwall, the cost is £593 (or something like that) to hire the registrar to come to the hotel plus giving notice which is £35 each.

Everyone has to arrange their own registrar, it's not something that the venues will cover. We're getting married in Wetherby and the cost is £550 plus £35 to give notice.

Make sure you book the registrar as early as possible though as they are limited in number - we just provisionally booked a date with a venue but there were no registrars available at the time we wanted to conduct the ceremony so we had to change the date.
