Forty people on the ground floor
The ceremony suite in Motherwell is on the ground floor of the council offices in the Civic Centre. It holds 40 people plus the principal party, and it has air conditioning. You pay when you book, and the fee is not refunded. A marriage or civil partnership at a registration office is £155 to £246 on a weekday, £405 to £494 on Saturday, and £467 to £558 on Sunday or a public holiday, on the page updated 10 August 2026. The exact figure depends on the day, the time and the location. Another venue is £348 on a weekday. The registration office address is Dalziel Building, 7 Scott Street, ML1 1PN. Send the entrance you have been given so the photographer and the booking match.
Two cars for the principal party park at the front, using the emergency-vehicle entrance. Guests use the car park at the back. The couple and the guests will not appear from the same door, so say which end should be in the pictures. A short register-office signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. A full suite of 40 plus the principal party needs longer if you want groups. If the meal is elsewhere, put that drive in the quote.
Tell them which end of the building
Pass on the exact fee inside the range, because a weekday can be anything from £155 to £246. Say whether you are in the ground-floor suite or at another approved place, plus the start time, the door, and any wait while guests come in from the back.
The weekday price is a range. What do we pass on?
Where you sit inside £155 to £246, because the exact figure depends on the day, the time and the location. Saturday is £405 to £494, and Sunday or a public holiday is £467 to £558. The fee is paid at booking and is not refunded. Ask for photography hours that match that booking.
How many people can the suite hold, and can a photographer be among them?
40 plus the principal party, on the ground floor of the Civic Centre. Ask whether a camera is inside that 40. If you are a much smaller party, say so. One or two hours often covers a short signing and a few pictures at the door you are using.
Which door should be in the arrival pictures?
The front, via the emergency-vehicle entrance, is for two principal-party cars. Guests use the car park at the back. Say which door you want photographed. The address to confirm is Dalziel Building, 7 Scott Street, ML1 1PN.
Another venue on a weekday is £348. What else do we send?
That venue's address, the start time and the hours. The £348 is the council attendance on a weekday. If you also want pictures at the Civic Centre, or the meal is a further stop, each drive should be in the quote.
