The Red Rose Suite is decorated with contemporary lighting features and furnishings. It accommodates up to 70 guests and is fully licensed for marriages and civil ceremonies.

There is also a dedicated room with a full-length mirror, where those about to walk down the aisle can steal a few quiet moments before making their entrance.

Music and video recordings

We have a music system in the ceremonies room. Music will automatically be played as one or both of you walk down the aisle and again at the end of the ceremony while signing the register and taking photographs unless you inform us otherwise. We encourage you to personalise your ceremony by supplying your own choice of music either on a Bluetooth device or CD. The law does not allow any religious music to be played at a civil marriage ceremony.

A video camera may be used during the ceremony providing that prior arrangement has been made with us. If you'd like a photographer to take photographs during the ceremony, please speak to the registrar prior to the ceremony and they will advise you. Your guests will be given time at the end of the ceremony to take any photographs they may wish to take.
