- Daytime use of Get Ready room for Bride & Bridesmaids to get ready in before Ceremony (and to change again after the Ceremony if required)
- A Ceremony Only Wedding must be held on a Sunday to Thursday if booked more then 6 months ahead, to avoid blocking off a day for any full wedding reception that may want the date. Weekends are only bookable at about 4-5 months notice.
3 Optional Extras
1. Add White Chair Covers and Bows for £1.50 a chair - minimum price £15.00 for minimum of 10 chairs.
2. Additional daytime use of rooms for guests to change in - £50 per en-suite (to allow for thorough cleaning before and after each use).

Our Ceremony Only Wedding only allows for the use of the Theatre, which you enter via the Theatre glass doors, and the Courtyard or Theatre Gardens for welcome drinks served outside.

Hiring your Wedding Celebrant
for a full wedding later
If you get married under our Ceremony Only offer, you can still book a Wedding Package later. You repeat the Wedding Ceremony on your Wedding Reception Date with all guests present, when you are ready to have a full wedding day.
As you will already be legally married, you do not need to re-hire the Registrar (indeed you would not be able to). Instead you have a beautiful personalised wedding ceremony created for you by a Wedding Celebrant.
This means you can still have your everything-you-dreamed-of Wedding Day, with a full Wedding Ceremony, Wedding Photographs, Welcome Drinks, Wedding Breakfast and Evening Party later, when the time is right for you.
So you have the Legal part of the wedding, first, and the main Wedding Celebrations, Ceremony, Wedding Photographs and Reception, Wedding Breakfast and Evening Party later - with a Celebrant creating your perfect "Wedding Ceremony".
Here is a celebrant: Helen Williams / Wedding & Family Celebrant - contact her on info@treasuredceremonies.co.uk / 07986 526732.
