Chadderton Town Hall, three different bookings
At Chadderton Town Hall the register office booking in Oldham is £74.50 on Monday to Thursday and on Saturday morning. It is you and two adult witnesses only, a simple ceremony with no extra readings or music, and that room is unavailable at other times. Every listed fee includes one marriage certificate. A date reservation is £67 and is not refunded. The Green Room is £176 Monday to Thursday and £189 on Friday and Saturday morning. The Oak Room is £257 Monday to Thursday and £292 on Friday and Saturday morning. Saturday afternoon in either of those rooms is £470. Sunday and bank holidays are £553. The town hall fee is included in the room price.
Other approved venues in the borough are £506 Monday to Thursday. A registrar at a church is £127, including the certificate. A Saturday morning register office slot is the arrival and the door. An Oak Room Saturday afternoon is a full guest list. Say which one is booked. A short witness-only signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. If you need portraits outside, say how long you can stay.
Match the quote to the room
Send the room, the day and the guest count. A £74.50 witness booking and a £470 Saturday afternoon need different hours. The £67 reservation holds the date with the council. The photographer still needs the room and the time coverage should end.
What pictures fit the £74.50 register office fee?
You and two adult witnesses, with no extra readings or music, on Monday to Thursday or Saturday morning, and one certificate is included. One or two hours often covers the signing and a few pictures at the door. Say if you want the photographer inside or only outside afterwards.
Which room is £257 from Monday to Thursday?
The Oak Room. Friday and Saturday morning in that room is £292. The Green Room is £176 on Monday to Thursday and £189 on Friday and Saturday morning. The guest list changes with the room, so name it.
Is Saturday afternoon the same job as Saturday morning?
Saturday morning follows the weekday-style lines, including the £74.50 register office slot. Saturday afternoon in the Green Room or the Oak Room is £470. Send which one is on the booking, and how long you want with the guests.
We have an approved venue at £506. What should we send?
That Monday to Thursday figure is for other approved venues in the borough. Send the building, the start time and the hours. A registrar at a church is £127 including the certificate, so name the church if that is the ceremony. Put any onward travel in the quote.
Does the £67 reservation change the photography brief?
It holds the date and is not refunded. It is separate from the room price, which already includes one certificate. Tell the photographer the room, the day and the hours.
