A full, detailed list of the latest fees for civil marriage or civil partnership ceremonies, and any available packages, can be obtained from the Registrar at Coldstream Registration Office.
Charges vary according to your preferred day (which can be any day including Sunday) and time. Please see below.
You will be guaranteed access to the Marriage Room half an hour prior to the ceremony so that you can set up flowers, photographic equipment etc. Should you require the Marriage Room for a longer period, charges will be made on an individual request basis.
Why not arrange for a Scottish Piper to pipe you in as you enter the Marriage Room at the start of the ceremony and on leaving?
Refreshments
Absolutely no alcohol is permitted in the Marriage Room prior to the ceremony. However, you are permitted to serve a reception drink (sherry, white wine or champagne) immediately after the ceremony, in either the Marriage Room or the adjoining room. Should you wish to take up this service, there will be a small charge per guest and a further charge for the use of the room. We can put you in touch with a local provider, who will give you further details. The cost of the reception drink is your responsibility.
