Marriage - booking Fee

Posts: 364 Forumite
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!!

You said you were married abroad before and this is the legal side?
Was the abroad ceremony not legal then?'' Ok Marge, if anyone asks, you require 24-hour nursing care; Lisa's a clergyman; Maggie is seven people and Bart was wounded in Vietnam ''0 -
Probably not legal in the UK.0

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.0 -
