In the midst of themes and guest lists the venue reminded me that the Registrar was my responsibility to book and the cost isn't included in the venue price (not at our venue anyway)
It worth factoring in this cost when deciding what day you wish to get married on. Prices vary quite a bit between Bank holidays, Saturdays, Sundays, Fridays and the Monday to Thursday. So even if your venue doesn't have a higher rate for a Saturday Wedding, the Registrar's Fee will vary. This fee can also vary between different Registrars. Ascot's fee was higher than the Crawley office.
Our lovely venue organiser gave us all the details we needed about who we needed to call. I called the registry office to enquire about prices and they informed me we need to call 1 year before the desired date. They also informed me there is a booking fee also, most of this information can be found on the relevant registrars website. Crawley registrars office website is really helpful and guides you through what you need to do and in what order. These websites also lists licensed venues so if you are really stuck on where to get married it may a good starting point.
You can't book any sooner than this but I will be calling exactly 1 year before the day to ensure we get our date.
