A small room inside Sale Town Hall
Trafford Register Office is a small modern office-style room within Sale Town Hall. The ceremony is the statutory minimum, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9.30am and 10am only. The fees table lists that slot at £68.50, written as £56 plus £12.50 for one certificate. Sale Town Hall itself, for 2026 to 2027, is £200 Monday to Thursday, £285 on Friday and Saturday morning up to and including 12.15pm, and £380 on Saturday afternoon up to and including 3.30pm. One certificate is included in that ceremony fee.
For the 9.30am start, the photographer should be on site before the witnesses. The room takes you and two guests who act as witnesses, so plan pictures in the town hall approach or after you come out, unless staff tell you otherwise on the day. A short signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. The Mayor's Parlour, on the 2026 to 2027 table, is £145 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Sale, Stretford, or Waterside
The fees page gives Trafford Town Hall, Talbot Road, Stretford, M32 0TH, while the ceremony room is inside Sale Town Hall. Confirm which hall is booked. Friday and Saturday prices belong to Sale Town Hall, the council chambers and Waterside, or approved premises. If the meal is elsewhere, send that address so the travel is in the quote.
Can a photographer stand in the 9.30am room at Sale?
The council says the room takes you and two guests who act as witnesses. Plan pictures in the approach or after you come out, unless staff say otherwise. The slot is 9.30am or 10am on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, at £68.50. Ask the photographer to arrive before the witnesses.
Which 2026 to 2027 figure is Sale Town Hall?
Sale Town Hall is £200 Monday to Thursday, £285 on Friday and Saturday morning up to and including 12.15pm, and £380 on Saturday afternoon up to and including 3.30pm. The £68.50 line is only the register office at 9.30am and 10am.
Is a Friday ceremony held in that small room?
The register office listing is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday and Saturday prices on the same page belong to Sale Town Hall, the council chambers and Waterside, or approved premises. Say which of those you have booked, and the guest count.
The paperwork says Talbot Road. Where should the photographer go?
Trafford Town Hall is Talbot Road, Stretford, M32 0TH. The register office room described for ceremonies is inside Sale Town Hall. Put the hall that is on your booking in the first line, with the time, so the coverage starts at the right door.
How long should we book for a 9.30am start?
One or two hours often covers the ceremony and a few pictures outside. Ask the photographer to arrive before the witnesses. A Saturday afternoon in the town hall, or the Mayor's Parlour at £145, needs its own hours.
