In this guide
These GBP figures come from the current published Camden and Westminster council schedules checked on 14 November 2026. They are prices for specified ceremony options. A reception, legal notice, transport and other wedding costs should be listed separately. Confirm the fee and guest limit for your exact booking date with the registration office.

What the date changes
In Camden’s published schedule, the selected Saturday room option is £125 more than the corresponding Monday to Thursday slot. The approved venue registrar fee changes by £85 for those selected slots, before any change in the venue’s own hire charge. Compare the whole event. A weekday may mean different travel, time off, meal availability or vendor hours.
Compare a small ceremony with a separate meal
If the ceremony has a low guest cap, invite the permitted group to the appointment and consider hosting a separate meal for a larger group. Price the appointment and meal as two lines. Ask the restaurant whether a minimum spend includes drinks, whether service is included and what happens if numbers change. A meal quotation becomes useful only when it refers to an agreed party size, duration and scope.
Ask for a payable schedule
Confirm the total, what is due to reserve the date, how any booking payment is applied, when the rest is payable, and what changes cost. Check certificate and notice charges separately and save the confirmation date with the figures. Keep each payment in the budget and payments tool.
