A wedding room for 70 on the Island
Civil ceremonies for Castlereagh are at Lagan Valley Island, 1 The Island, Lisburn, BT27 4RL. The wedding room holds up to 70 people. A weekday there is £205: two notice fees at £22 each (£44), a ceremony fee of £36 and room hire of £125, with the registrar's attendance free. On Saturday the registrar's attendance is £126, so the total is £331. A copy certificate is an extra £8. Only a registrar or deputy registrar can marry you there. A witnesses-only ceremony is available at limited times.
The setting is an island on the Lagan, with sculptures, a restored canal and lock gates, a terrace, patio and garden. Those are the places the council names for photographs. Send the start time, whether you are on the weekday total or the Saturday one, and which of those spots you want used. A witnesses-only signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. A room of 70 needs longer if you want groups. Approved venues in the district are £230 on a weekday, made up of notices, the ceremony and registrar attendance, without the Island's room hire.
Pick the portrait spot with the hours
Say how long you can stay on the terrace or in the garden. If the meal is a second stop, or you are at an approved venue instead, send that address and ask for the travel to be quoted. A Saturday at £331 and a weekday at £205 are different council bills, and the hours should follow your guest list.
Where should we ask for photographs at Lagan Valley Island?
The sculptures, the canal and lock gates, the terrace, the patio and the garden. Say which of those you want, and how long you can stay after a room of up to 70. The address to send is 1 The Island, Lisburn, BT27 4RL.
What does the £205 weekday total mean for a short signing?
It is £44 in notice fees, a £36 ceremony fee and £125 room hire, with registrar attendance included. Saturday, with registrar attendance at £126, is £331. A witnesses-only ceremony runs at limited times. One or two hours often covers that and a few pictures in the garden. Confirm the slot and the guest count.
Can a photographer be in the wedding room?
The room holds up to 70, so a guest ceremony has space for a camera among the guests. Ask, and give the number coming. If you are on a witnesses-only time, check that a camera is welcome inside. If not, use the terrace or the garden.
We are marrying at an approved venue. What do we send?
Weekday attendance there is £230, without the Island's room hire. Send that venue's address, the start time and the hours. If the meal is somewhere else again, add it so each drive is in the quote. A copy certificate at £8 is a council extra, separate from the photography.
