The Gadebury Room at the Forum
Hemel Hempstead Register Office is on the first floor of the Forum, Marlowes, HP1 1DN, beside the Water Gardens. The Gadebury Room is modern and light. The office can take up to 40 guests, not including the couple or the photographer, so leave the photographer out of the guest tally. You and Two ceremonies, the couple and two witnesses, are on Tuesday mornings. For 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 that Tuesday morning is £187. A standard register office ceremony in the same year is £476 Monday to Friday, £612 on Saturday, and £661 on Sunday or a bank holiday.
The Water Gardens are the place for portraits once you are out of the Forum. A Tuesday You and Two booking is a short witness ceremony. A Saturday at £612 is the guest room. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. If the meal is away from Marlowes, send that address and ask for the travel to be included.
Does the photographer count in the 40 at the Gadebury Room?
No. The office takes up to 40 guests, not including the couple or the photographer. Say you want them in the Gadebury Room, and then at the Water Gardens if that is where the group photographs are.
How long covers a Tuesday morning You and Two at the Forum?
One or two hours usually covers the £187 ceremony and a few pictures at the Water Gardens. It is the couple and two witnesses, on Tuesday mornings, in the year to 31 March 2027. A Monday to Friday ceremony at £476 is the larger room, so send the Tuesday details only if that is what you have booked.
What is the Saturday fee, and what hours match it?
Saturday is £612, and Sunday or a bank holiday is £661, for a register office ceremony in that year. Monday to Friday is £476. The £75 booking fee is part of the final ceremony fee, not an extra for the photographer. Send the day and how long you want at the Water Gardens.
Where are the portraits after the Gadebury Room?
At the door you will use on Marlowes, then the Water Gardens for portraits. Nearby pay-and-display car parks need extra time when they are busy, so ask the photographer to arrive a little earlier than the registrar. There is no public parking at the office.
The meal is not at the Forum. What goes in the quote?
The second address and the time you leave. Ask for the drive to be included or left out. Price the day you have booked: a Tuesday two-witness signing, or a Saturday for up to 40 guests plus the photographer, not both unless you are actually having both.
