Georgian House, ground floor, 36 seats
The registration office in Lancaster is at Georgian House, 4 Queen Street, LA1 1RS, a Georgian listed building. The ground-floor ceremony room has disabled access and seats 36 guests, so step-free pictures can stay on that floor. From 6 April 2026, fees are paid in full at booking and include a £50 non-refundable administration fee and one certificate. Monday 9.45am to noon is £160 in total, and that slot is a standard ceremony for a maximum of 10 guests. Monday 12.30pm to Thursday 4pm is £250. Friday daytime is £350. Saturday daytime is £400. The 36-seat room is the building's capacity. The 10-guest cap is only the Monday morning product.
Queen Street is a tight approach. Vehicular access is only from Aldcliffe Road. The multi-storey on Common Garden Street is a two-minute walk, which matters if the photographer is carrying kit. Send Aldcliffe Road, the time band, and whether you are in the 10-guest Monday slot or a later day when the room can take its 36. A short Monday signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. If the meal is in Morecambe, or elsewhere in Wyre, that drive belongs in the quote.
The driving note is part of the brief
Put Aldcliffe Road on the enquiry with the ceremony time. A satnav to the wrong end of Queen Street means a walk from Common Garden Street with the kit. Ask whether a camera counts inside the Monday limit of 10. On Friday or Saturday the room can use its 36 seats, so send the guest count.
How many seats are in the ceremony room at Georgian House?
The ground-floor room seats 36 guests and has disabled access. Ask the photographer to plan for that floor. The Monday morning cap of 10 is a different product, at £160 from 6 April 2026, including one certificate and the £50 booking fee.
How many hours do we book for the £160 Monday slot?
One or two hours often covers that standard ceremony and a few pictures outside. It is limited to 10 guests. Friday daytime at £350, or Saturday daytime at £400, can use the full 36 seats and usually needs longer if you want groups.
How should the photographer reach Queen Street with the kit?
The council says vehicles can only come in from Aldcliffe Road. Common Garden Street multi-storey is a two-minute walk if the street itself is awkward. Put that note on the brief so they are at the right end of the street for the first pictures.
The reception is in Morecambe. What should the quote include?
Georgian House as the ceremony, Morecambe as the meal, and the time you leave Queen Street. The drive should be in the quote. The same applies if the second stop is in Wyre. Say whether you are on the 10-guest Monday cap or a later day with up to 36 seats.
