Last time i went to a wedding there it was really nice, better than blackburns reg office

Re: Registry Office
 

i got married there and yes it's nice. Never been to any other so not much to base it on.

Re: Registry Office
 

Its better than blackburns but then again its been 10yrs since i got married there

Re: Registry Office
 

yes its nice ........have been to a couple of weddings there. nice to take some photo's at st james church just across the rd. good luck & best wishes to you both.

Re: Registry Office
 

Im getting married there in September-although i havent looked inside yet.....so i hope its nice :D:D:D

Re: Registry Office
 

Re: Registry Office
 

Thanks,i was a little worried about it because a couple of people have turned their noses up when i said i was getting married there.
Probably just snobs!

Re: Registry Office
 

Blackburn Register (not actually registry) office has moved now, my sis got married in the old one in Blackburn last year and it was quite nice

Re: Registry Office
 

Went to my Mum's wedding at the Accy one last year, very nice and a good ceremony too. I got married there some years back and it was fine then too !

Re: Registry Office
 

My sister got married in accrington, it was very nice, had the pictures taken at the park on manchester road, bit of a drive but the pics are worth it.

Re: Registry Office
 

We had some of our photos taken in a park even though we married in church because the church itself isn't very picturesque. St. James's is good for photos though if you get married in Accy Register Office. Dunno what the vicar thinks though of all the people having photos taken there when they didn't get married there. :D

Re: Registry Office
 

I got married there just after they had done it up (june 2006) and it was lovely. Beautiful room, really nice ceremony and the staff there made me feel really comfortable and relaxed (was very nervous) Would recommend it

Re: Registry Office
 

If you want to have your wedding photographs taken using a church as a backdrop why not get married in a church?

Re: Registry Office
 

We never got to see the room till the wedding day, the room was a mixture of brown and burgandy, didnt go atall well with my dress,but it was a good day, i had all the social workers out on their breaks watching the pics being done ,then i had a wasp go inside the layers in my dress i was in a panic with that, this was back in "97", doesnt seem that long ago.
so when did it close down ?

Re: Registry Office
 

last year just after my sis got married there, she got married in may so sometime after that

Re: Registry Office
 

last may it looked nice anyway

Re: Registry Office
 

that looks totally different than when i got married there, much better now

Re: Registry Office
 

Have a friend who marries people there (No ..not Margaret R .. :D ).

Will try and have a word to see how he describes the setting. Can only say he is a lovely person and would make any wedding ceremony enjoyable.

Re: Registry Office
 

Reply I got to my E-Mail, hope it helps. You two will just have to go and look for yerselves... I would never go on a stage without looking at it first .. need to how much room you have for your dresses, etc (and the fire exits for chance you change your mind at the last minute)... :D

"Hi Kate

Nice to hear from you.

Accy Register Office was refurbished a relatively short time ago and the
ceremony room is very nice and light - lots of big windows in the old
Mechanics Institute to help with reading.

Tell them to call in, I'm sure someone there will be happy to show them the
room and answer any questions they have about the big day.

It's highly unlikely I'll be involved as I work at Burnley and work in that
area most of the time but you never know."

Re: Registry Office
 

That is great thank you!
We are planning a trip down before the big day i just wanted to hear other peoples experiences that's all.
Thanks again(don't know if i can send karma yet but if i can karma on the way!

Re: Registry Office
 

i got married there and had my photos done at oakhill park, it was lovely, had a full white wedding in the registry office and they couldnt have been nicer, the only prob was a traffic cone sticking out of the hedges outside which nobody noticed until we got the photos back!

Re: Registry Office
 

Me n t'other half was there last week, and whilst walking past the room, the door was open. It looks realy nice, warm and inviting. You should have a lovely ceremony there hun. And it only lasts half an hour anyhow.

Re: Registry Office
 

Thanks for all your replies!!
We are really looking forward to it.
It's not long now,11th july! Really excited!!

Re: Registry Office
 

Me n Corker went in at a random time and just asked if there wasn't a wedding going on could we take a peek and a very nice lady let us :) Its lovely.
The only thing that hasn't happened is that we dont have all the brochure and info about what will actually happen on the day....still waiting :(

Re: Registry Office
 

my mate got married at accrington registry office

the place its self is nice enough but..


when my mate got married there the building across from it was all boarded up so the photos of people arriving looked bloody awfull

that building has since had windows put in but from what i remember the carpark across from the office was also very grubby and the buildings behind it looked a bloody mess as well in the photos

like i said the place is decent enough inside but be carefull what you catch in your cameras view when you are taking pictures of the guests etc arriving or should i say what your photographer catches in his view

for the group photos everyone moved across the road to the church yard in accy center for the group photos


just givin a heads up about the view across from the registry office so you can try to avoid the crappy stuff in the background

Re: Registry Office
 

From what I remember they will take you and Corker into the room just to check all your details are correct. They will then bring the guests in and ask them not to take photos during the ceremony.(that was a rule don't know if it still is) Then you will have the ceremony and sign the register and afterwards you get plenty of time to take photos. The staff are really nice just relax and enjoy the day. Good Luck

Re: Registry Office
 

Misskitty, you should get a brochure with the different types of vows in it, the order of service and some guidance on music etc, think you get it when you book the date?:confused:

Re: Registry Office
 

Is it not cheaper to commit murder and get a life snetence at Preston Crown court than pay the fees for a register office ;)

Re: Registry Office
 

Well they didn't have any info about the vows etc printed so told us we would get them in the post-we have been in since as we still havent recieved them and yet again they have not turned up :( never mind, im sure they will arrive well in advance :)

Your prob right Dave, it cost us £120 for various things including the licence.
More than worth it though :wub:

Re: Registry Office
 

I don't think so.

The fees are less than £100

Shell out £100 or spend the rest of your life in prison? :confused:

Re: Registry Office
 

Oh well you soppy sod, if your'e going to let your heart rule over Corkers wallet thats up to you :p

Re: Registry Office
 

its a nice place o get married ; just hope the weather is good to you that day; i got married there in 2003 may ; the weather was lovely ; everything was purfect ;

Re: Registry Office

Never mind my heart.....All of me rules over his wallet.....;)
His money has been replaced by pictures of me n Jack :D

Re: Registry Office
