Wednesday at 9.30am, room for four
The register office in St Helens is a small office in the Town Hall, Victoria Square, WA10 1HP. From 6 April 2026 until 31 March 2027 the statutory fee is £62 for you and two witnesses. The room holds up to four people, with no enhancements and no parking, and it is available on Wednesday at 9.30am only. A certificate is £12.50. The square is windy at that time, and with nowhere to leave a car the photographer should arrive on foot and in time for the first pictures. A short signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. The legal part will not include music or a line of guests.
The Main Hall takes up to 165 people, with parking for one car on the square, at £630 on Saturday up to 4pm from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Twilight on Saturday, 4.30pm to 6pm, is £730. A provisional booking fee of £55 from 1 April 2026 is not deducted from the final fee. You meet the registrars 20 minutes before the start, which is time for arrival pictures. If the meal is elsewhere, send that address so travel from Victoria Square is in the quote.
The Main Hall is the booking with space
Say whether you are in the Wednesday room of four or the Saturday hall. One car can wait on the square for the Main Hall, and everyone else is on foot, so say which way the guests will walk. Ask if a camera can be one of the four on Wednesday.
What time is the £62 ceremony, and can a photographer be in the room?
Wednesday at 9.30am only, from 6 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The room holds up to four people. The certificate is £12.50 on top. Ask whether a camera is one of the four. If not, the pictures are on the square, and one or two hours is often enough.
How many hours suit a Saturday in the Main Hall?
The hall takes up to 165, at £630 up to 4pm. Book for groups as well as the vows if you want them. One car can park on the square. Say where everyone else will arrive from.
The twilight ceremony runs until 6pm. When should coverage stop?
Saturday twilight is £730 from 4.30pm to 6pm. Ask the photographer to finish inside that window unless you have a meal afterwards. Certificates are £12.50 each. The £55 provisional booking fee is not deducted from the ceremony fee and is not a photography charge.
What should we send for a windy 9.30am on Victoria Square?
Wednesday at 9.30am, the four-person cap, and how long you want outside. You meet the registrars 20 minutes before the start, so the photographer can use that arrival. If there is a second venue, add the address and the time you leave.
