I think city hall max numbers r 60. There r very few none religous venues in ni to have a large wedding in. city hall is lovely but u r not able to personalise ur ceremoney which is unfortunate as the day is personal to each couple.

Wife and I are in a "mixed" marriage and we got married in a Presbyterian Church with a Presbyterian Minister and a Catholic Priest in Belfast, No problems at all..... Really don't think its a big deal - unless your out in some hill billy backwater where the fire and brimstone minister wouldn't let a woman minister never mind a catholic through the door ..

What do you mean by personalising the ceremony? Just curious as I have been to several civil weddings and they all seemed the same format.

Well I'm a 15 year veteran of mixed marriage, I've always been public sector and OH private:rotfl: it's been stressful but we get though it:)

We are also the other type of mixed marriage;) 15 years ago it was more of a big deal but we never let religion come into it or between us and we still don't.

City hall would be the obvious venue for 150+ for a service but any hotel with a conference facility will be more than happy to rent a room to you for an hour or 2, obviously for a fee, but you could incorporate tea and bickies with them too

really don't understand the thread, don't think any hotel that holds ceremonies cares what religion the people are. It's basically down to the bride and groom if they want a Priest, minister or someone else to perform the marriage vows.

funny how this thread got off topic very soon. LOL

The bride doesn't want to spent the whole day in the same venue and would like to get married somewhere first and then guest could make their way to the hotel after the ceremony. Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Aren't women stubborn:rotfl:

Rent a marquee and get married in the back lawn, then drive to the hotel.

Cill bill if your having a religious service you'll need to contact your minister, who may be willing to do a service outside a church, if it's a catholic service then you will need a Chapel.

If you just want a wedding with no religion involved contact the registrar in the area your looking to get married and he/she will let you know where is licensed to hold a ceremony. I know you can use the opera house, ulster museum, city hall, waterfront. The best place to start is with the registrar in that area.

I have it sussed. What about the Ulster Museum? Quirky. Big. Certainly not run of the mill.

Oops, missed the fact the previous poster had also mentioned it.
