Ask them to raise the lights in the Ravensworth Suite
The register office in Gateshead is at the Civic Centre, Regent Street, NE8 1HH. The Ravensworth Suite takes up to 64 guests, which is 66 including the couple. It has a sound system for up to three pieces of music, and lighting the council can increase so guests can take photographs. Monday to Thursday is £242.50. Friday and Saturday before noon are £312.50. Friday and Saturday after noon are £372.50. Those amounts include a £40 non-refundable booking fee and one marriage certificate.
You can also book the simple ceremony in the register office with two witnesses. Two registrars attend, one to conduct the ceremony and one to register it. Ask whether a photographer is counted inside the 64 before you fill the last chairs. For pictures in the suite, ask the council to raise the lighting, and tell the photographer you have asked. On a Friday or Saturday, say whether you are before noon or after, because the fee changes at 12. A two-witness signing is often covered in one or two hours, with a few pictures outside. A room of 66 needs longer for the group. The bridges are a portrait stop only if you have booked the time to reach them. If the meal is across the river, name that address in the quote.
Does our photographer count in the Ravensworth Suite's 64 guests?
Ask before you fill the chairs. The published limit is 64 guests, 66 including the couple. If the room is full, plan the portraits on Regent Street, or by the bridges if that time is in the booking.
How many hours do we need for a Friday afternoon in the suite?
A Friday or Saturday after noon is £372.50. Before noon on those days is £312.50. One or two hours often covers a two-witness signing and a few pictures outside. Music and a large group in the suite need the longer time you actually want. Monday to Thursday is £242.50.
Can the Ravensworth Suite be brighter for photographs?
Yes. The council says the lighting can be increased so guests can take photographs. Ask for that, and tell the photographer, so the pictures inside the suite can use the room lights at Regent Street.
What does the £242.50 Monday fee in the Ravensworth Suite include?
£242.50 includes the £40 booking fee and one marriage certificate. That is the council's charge. The photography price is separate: the hours, the suite or the two-witness room, and travel if you have a second venue.
What if we want portraits by the bridges after the Civic Centre?
Say how long you want, and name the meal address if it is across the river. The Civic Centre at NE8 1HH and a stop by the bridges are two parts of the day. Put both in the quote, with the time you leave.
