Marriage - booking Fee

John_Jizzle

My partner and I decided to get married (we were married abroad before so this is just the legal side of it)

Looked on the internet - smallest room £49. Rang up - they only do the £100 room which holds 40 people (we are bringing only 2 witnesses). I moaned a little bit but paid.

I then book for the notice which is £70 (fair enough) but then told this comes with a £25 booking fee!!

Is there a question somewhere?

This forum is for 'Praise, Vents & Warnings", none of which need to contain a question.

You said you were married abroad before and this is the legal side?

Was the abroad ceremony not legal then?

Probably not legal in the UK.

no was just a ceremony part with guests etc. no registrar

I was just venting at having to pay a booking fee when there is no way around it. They only tell you about it at the last minute - they should just add it to the price in the first place.

Have you tried shopping around for a better deal in a different area?

Register Office might be the cheapest option.
