By incorporating these suggestions and infusing your personal flair into your wedding, you’ll create an enchanting atmosphere that will leave your guests talking about your magical day for years to come. Sandip Gillar www.ridemytuktuk.com A DAY TO REMEMBER My wife-to-be and I are thinking of booking a registry office for our wedding, what’s the process and how long before the wedding should we book? Your ceremony can be booked up to two years in advance. The ceremony team at your registry office should be on hand to guide you throughout the planning process. For example, our team is always available and can give you a tour of our manor house to help you decide which of the three beautiful rooms you would like for your ceremony. Once you have chosen the room, you can visit our website from the comfort of your home to book your ceremony. Once the booking has been made, the venue should offer an appointment with its ceremony coordinator, who will talk you through your special day and give you the opportunity to create a bespoke ceremony with any extras required.
