Testimonials

"We had a civil partnership at the Town Hall and it was great! I just wanted to say thank you to all involved at the Town Hall.

The registrars on the day and at our pre-partnership meeting a few months ago were all lovely and calm, professional and supportive and fun in a way I found hugely reassuring and very much appreciated.

Thank you so much for making our big event so very enjoyable and memorable."

Z & C - June 2022

"The two registrars were just wonderful! I was very nervous and they really put me at ease. They were so kind and supportive, and I was so pleased to have them there with me. Throughout the ceremony, they were a calming presence and helped me focus on and enjoy the moment...

The ceremony itself was wonderful. We have both been to a lot of weddings, and have heard many of the same jokes from registrars which are rooted in old-school misogynistic tropes - something we were a little worried about!

We had absolutely nothing to worry about. They both quickly picked up on the fact that we wanted to step back from some of the less progressive traditions associated with weddings, and completely embraced and celebrated it. I was so proud of how respectful and modern our ceremony was."

L & N - October 2021

"We just wanted to pass on our thanks to the two registrars. They were both very friendly, professional and really helped put as at ease. They made sure that the ceremony ran smoothly which we appreciated."

They really helped us throughout the day and conducted a wonderful ceremony. E and I were both very nervous, they were very professional and helpful to calm both of us down.

It was the happiest day of our lives, one we will never forget.

Thanks again for all of your help organising this."
