Planning questions · FAQs
What types of ceremony does City Hall list?
The council lists legally binding civil, secular and religious ceremonies, subject to the applicable venue and ceremony requirements.
Should we assume this is our full reception venue?
No. This guide concerns the ceremony setting; confirm your reception arrangements separately.
How can we plan photographs without missing the reception?
Choose a short portrait route and gather family groups at an agreed time. We can then keep photographing the people and moments around you as the day unfolds.
Can we talk about photography and film together?
Yes. We plan photography and film as one team, with time for the ceremony, the people around you and a short pause together. Tell us your date and the shape of your day through our enquiry page.
