Six seats at Dunedin House, or the Nightingale Suite
Stockton-on-Tees lists both rooms at Dunedin House, Columbia Drive, Thornaby, TS17 6BJ. Visitors come by appointment. The statutory room holds six people: the couple, two witnesses and two registrars. It runs Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays, and covers the legal declarations, the option of rings, and the signing. There is no spare chair for a camera. The current fee is £74.50 and includes one certificate.
The Nightingale Suite is the room where you can be filmed or photographed. It runs Monday to Saturday, excluding bank holidays, at £270 Monday to Thursday, £311 on Friday, and £361 on Saturday. Those current fees include one certificate. Readings and music can be agreed with a registrar beforehand when they carry no religious meaning. A non-refundable booking fee is £55. A short statutory signing is often covered in one or two hours, with the pictures outside, because the camera is not in that room. The Suite needs its own timing if you want the ceremony photographed. Approved premises, excluding room hire, are £519 Monday to Thursday, £582 on Friday, £693 on Saturday, and £751 on a Sunday or bank holiday. If the meal is at one of those venues, send that address as well as Dunedin House.
Can the photographer be in the statutory room at Dunedin House?
The six places are the couple, two witnesses and two registrars. There is no spare chair for a camera. Plan the pictures for when you come out. One or two hours is often enough when that time outside is all you need. The fee is £74.50, Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.
How many hours for the Nightingale Suite on a Saturday?
Saturday is £361, and this is the room that can be photographed. Send the start time, how long you want the camera inside, and any portraits at Dunedin House afterwards. Friday is £311. Monday to Thursday is £270.
What if the ceremony is at an approved venue rather than Dunedin House?
Registrar attendance, excluding room hire, is £519 Monday to Thursday, £582 on Friday, £693 on Saturday, and £751 on a Sunday or bank holiday. Name the venue. The quote needs that door, as well as Dunedin House if you are using both.
What should we send for a booking at Thornaby?
Which room, which day, and the start time. Guests come to Columbia Drive, Thornaby, TS17 6BJ, by appointment. The Suite is the room for photographs and film. The statutory room is the six-person signing.
Should the £55 appear in the photography price?
It is the council's non-refundable booking fee. Ask the photographer for the hours, whether the camera is inside the Nightingale Suite, and any second venue. Those are the lines that keep the price fair.
