The Lancashire Rose Suite on Bow Lane
The register office in Preston is on Bow Lane. Post goes to PR1 8SE and the navigation postcode is PR1 8RL, so send the photographer the navigation one. The Lancashire Rose Suite seats 74 guests and is fully accessible. From 6 April 2026, a ceremony with two witnesses only is £62 plus a £50 non-refundable booking fee plus a £12.50 certificate, which the council totals at £124.50. A standard ceremony on Monday from 9.45am to 12 noon, for a maximum of 10 guests, is £160 including one certificate and the £50 booking fee. Monday afternoon through Thursday, until 4pm, is £250 on the same basis. The full fee is paid when you book.
A two-witness ceremony and a Rose Suite ceremony for 74 are different briefs. A short witness signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. Send the Bow Lane entrance and, if it applies, the Monday cut-off at noon. The car park next to the office is £1 for up to an hour and £1.60 for up to two hours, Monday to Saturday while the building is in use, so say how long you want outside. A Blue Badge gives the first three hours free if it is displayed. If the meal is elsewhere, add that address and the leaving time.
Two witnesses, or a room of 74
Weekend days are open for ceremonies, so name the day. Ask whether a photographer can stand in the two-witness ceremony. In the Rose Suite the photographer can work among the guests. Include travel if you leave Bow Lane for the meal.
How does the two-witness fee reach £124.50, and what photography fits it?
From 6 April 2026 it is £62, plus a £50 booking fee, plus £12.50 for the certificate. One or two hours often covers that signing and a few pictures outside Bow Lane. Send the navigation postcode PR1 8RL with the hours.
How many people can the Rose Suite hold?
74 guests, and the room is fully accessible. The Monday morning standard ceremony, maximum 10 guests, is a different listing at £160. Monday afternoon through Thursday, until 4pm, is £250. Send which one you have booked.
Can a photographer be in the room for the two-witness ceremony?
That listing is you and two witnesses. Ask if a camera can stand inside. If not, use the Bow Lane entrance for portraits afterwards and say how long you can stay. The Rose Suite, with up to 74 guests, is the booking where a photographer can work among the guests.
Monday morning ends at noon. What do we send?
The 9.45am to noon band, the guest cap of 10, and the hours you want. The car park beside the office is charged by the hour, so include how long the outside pictures should last. If you leave for a meal, put that drive in the quote.
