In order to be married or enter into your civil partnership at one of our approved venues, you must first make a booking with the venue of your choice and then contact us at Kensington and Chelsea Register Office to ensure that you book registrars to attend your ceremony. This means in addition to the fees charged by the venue for your ceremony, you will also need to pay the fees for registrars to attend. Once you have confirmed availability with your approved venue and you have booked and accepted their fee, you can then book the registrars. Our fees are below:
