A fee for four people, and no building named
The booking-fee table that covers East Kilbride has a row for any registration office, with a maximum of four people. Monday to Thursday is £73.74. Friday morning is the same £73.74. Saturday says to see the office, and Sunday is marked as not available. Booking fees cover the ceremony only. Statutory fees are separate and are set by the Scottish Government, currently £155. A registrar's visit before a private-venue ceremony is £69.93. The table does not name one building here. Send the office address once you have it, plus the start time and the hours. The contact address on the fee page is Almada Street, Hamilton, ML3 0AA, which is a contact point rather than a promise that the ceremony is in Hamilton.
Four people leaves very little room. A photographer counts inside that four only if the office agrees, so ask before the day. If they cannot be inside, plan pictures at the door you will use. A short signing is often covered in one or two hours, ceremony plus a few pictures outside. Hamilton Town House has larger rooms on the same page, and those are not this row. If the ceremony or the meal is there, send that address so the travel is in the quote.
The statutory £155 sits on top
The £73.74 booking fee still leaves the £155 statutory charge to pay, and a further £69.93 if a registrar must visit a private venue first. Saturday is a conversation with the office, not a figure on the table. Send the confirmed building, the day and the hours.
What does £73.74 on a Monday mean for the photographs?
It is the Monday to Thursday booking fee for a maximum of four people at any registration office. Friday morning is the same. The £155 statutory fee is extra. One or two hours often covers the signing and a few pictures outside. Send the office address once you have it.
Does that booking fee already include the £155?
Booking fees cover the ceremony only. The Scottish Government statutory fee is currently £155 on top. Neither figure is the photographer's price. Ask for the hours, and say whether a second venue is involved.
Can a photographer be counted inside the four?
Only if the office agrees they count as one of the four. Ask before the day. If they cannot be inside, the pictures are at the door. Hamilton Town House is a different row, with larger rooms, so send that name only if it is the building you have booked.
The venue is private, or the day is Saturday. What has to be confirmed?
A private venue needs a registrar visit at £69.93. Saturday says to see the office, and Sunday is not available on that row. Send the confirmed building, the time and the hours, and any travel to Hamilton or on to a meal.
