Availability of venues in the Town Hall

The Register Office is very popular, and you may have to wait at least 6 months for a booking. 

You can only book the Register Office if at least one of you is a resident in the borough of Greenwich.

  • The Edwardian Room has space for the couple and 36 guests
  • The Victoria Hall has space for the couple and 120 guests

Your ceremony

Ceremonies last up to 30 minutes.

You must agree the content of the ceremony in advance with the superintendent registrar who is attending the ceremony.

You cannot have any religious music, readings, words or performances. If you want to choose your own music, you may bring your own CD or device that plays music, like a mobile phone.

You can also say extra vows to each other, or ask a guest to give a reading.
