Testimonials

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you from the both of us for marrying us on Saturday. The ceremony honestly couldn’t have felt more special, you instantly put us at ease and made the whole thing feel so relaxed, joyful, and completely ‘us’.

So many of our guests came up to us afterwards to say how much they loved the way you led it, and the beautiful energy you brought to the room.

It meant the world to us, and we’ll always remember it as one of the happiest moments of our lives."

E & A - September 2025

"We just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for making our wedding ceremony on Saturday so special.

David, you were so kind and reassuring on the day, and you really helped to put us at ease at a moment when the nerves were running high. We’re so grateful for the warmth and care you brought to the ceremony, it really helped us.

And to the second registrar Donna, thank you also for being so lovely and supportive. The whole experience is a bit of a blur for us, but we both remember how friendly and helpful you were, which made all the difference.

It was such a beautiful moment for us, and we’re so glad it was led by such thoughtful people. Thank you again for playing such an important part in our day."

It allowed us to pick a date and time without any back and forth like our local town halls/registry office.

All staff were incredibly polite. The two ladies conducting our ceremony were lovely! They really helped make the day more perfect."

"The Islington Town Hall is very beautiful and photographs nicely, it also has rooms for smaller weddings which we found suited our needs really well.

We found Islington Town Hall had excellent communication which left a big worry off the big day, we mostly knew what to expect and didn't leave us needing to ask a lot of questions.

The ceremony was conducted very well and everyone was really lovely.

Thank you so much for marrying us! We're very happy!"

It was so easy to book and all the information was very clear.

The registrars David and Deborah were amazing and made the whole day so wonderful. To quote a guest “best wedding ceremony, I’ve ever been to"."

L & D - May 2025

"Since I was a little girl, I have watched 3 different members of my family get married at the Town Hall. Each time I have imagined myself getting wed there. As soon as my husband proposed to me, there was no other option in my mind than to call Islington Town hall.

Our registrars were the loveliest two ladies. They made us laugh and ease us into the process and moment. I am not a huge fan of public speaking, but our registrar Sarah helped me to feel really relaxed and confident.

As we finished our ceremony, we fulfilled my dream of walking down the grand steps in the middle of the building (capturing beautiful photos) and then also down the steps out the front of the building (another dream of mine).

It was truly everything I had ever wanted and I cannot thank the staff, the venue and SayIdo enough. Thank you."

Our officiant was charming and conducted the ceremony so well. Staff members were so helpful in keeping me and my wife separated for our pre-ceremony meetings. A member of staff even helped my wife with her dress just before we descended the stairs for the confetti.

We had such a special day - please share our thanks with all the members of staff."

We loved the intimate size of Room 99 and were lucky to discover pets are now allowed.
