Southampton Register Office Wedding Prices
A booking fee of £60.00 is payable to book any ceremony or civil partnership signing. The fee confirms the date, time and place of your ceremony or civil partnership signing and does not come off the final balance. It is a good idea to be really sure about your choice, as moving your booking will mean an amendment fee of £35.00 will be charged.
Please remember that your legal notices of marriage or civil partnership will cost £35.00 each, which you will need to factor into your budget as well as the ceremony/signing fee.
An additional fee of £40 per child is payable for naming ceremonies for more than one child. VAT is included for celebratory ceremonies.
