IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If you want to hold your ceremony in 2021, please book your notice appointment before you book the ceremony, as there are longer than usual waiting times for an appointment at Islington, and across the country, due to Register Offices being closed during national lockdowns.

If you are not able to give notice in time for your ceremony, you will need to move the ceremony to a later date.

Welcome

Islington and the City of London is home to a diverse range of venues from the iconic Islington Town Hall, to the historic grandeur of the City’s Livery Halls, to modern icons such as the Gherkin.

Whatever the scale, style and sense of occasion you want for your ceremony, we’re sure you can find the right venue for your perfect day in Islington and City of London.

On this site you can book your ceremony at Islington Town Hall, or book registrars to attend another licenced venue in our district.

Testimonials

"Thank you so much for such an incredible day on Thursday last week.

Being the first wedding after lock down meant we were a little nervous about what to except but genuinely couldn’t have asked for more - you made us feel so comfortable and you put the personal touch into a COVID compliant service!

Thank you again!"

"A big thank you to you and the Town Hall.

We had a great day.

The whole experience with Islington has been brilliant.

Please pass on our thanks to the registrars and also the very helpful man at the front door of the Town Hall. We thought they did a brilliant job at making the strange environment very normal and relaxed. It was a really special occasion."

"We would just like to say a huge thank you to our registrars.

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."

H & E - October 2020

"We got married in August after a lot of back and forth thanks to the first lockdown.

The staff were absolutely amazing and sensitive due to the passing of my dad 3 days before hand.

Everyone was so helpful and couldn’t do enough to offer advice and support.

We will forever be grateful x"
