Wharncliffe Road, or a licensed venue
Ilkeston Registration Office is at the Town Hall, Wharncliffe Road, DE7 5RP, and the licensed-venues page names the ceremony room in that building. For a legal ceremony at an approved premise, the fees from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 are £510 Monday to Thursday, £535 on Friday, and £565 on Saturday. Those figures do not include certificates. If you are in the Town Hall ceremony room, ask that office for the fee. It is not on this table.
Tell the photographer which building you have. The Town Hall and a licensed barn are different rooms, and often a different number of guests. Send the start time and the hours. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. If the meal is at a second venue, put that address in the same note and ask whether the travel is included. The number to put beside an approved hotel is the published table. The number for the Town Hall room is the one the Erewash team confirms.
How long should we book at the Town Hall on Wharncliffe Road?
One or two hours is often enough for a short signing and a few pictures outside. Book more if you want the meal covered, and ask for that longer time to be priced separately. Send the Town Hall room fee once the office has confirmed it.
What is the Saturday fee at an approved premise?
£565, in the year from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Monday to Thursday is £510 and Friday is £535. Certificates are extra. This is the registrars' attendance at a licensed venue, not the Town Hall room, and not the photographer's price.
Who confirms the Town Hall room price for the quote?
The council tells you to ask the relevant registration office. For this room that is the Erewash team. Pass the photographer the figure they confirm, with the start time, so the quote is for the Town Hall rather than a hotel.
What changes if we marry at a licensed barn instead?
Name the barn, the start time, and how many guests you have. The published attendance fee covers the registrars. The barn's own room charge is separate, and the pictures will not match a Town Hall signing. Ask for travel if you are also using a second address.
The reception is away from Wharncliffe Road. What do we add?
The second address and the time you leave the Town Hall. Ask for the drive to be included or left out. A Town Hall signing and a reception elsewhere are two stops, and the hours should say which of them you want covered.
