10 steps to booking your ceremony 

A step-by-step guide to booking your ceremony and/or reception at the Royal Pavilion

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to book and enjoy your special day at the Royal Pavilion.

Follow our step-by-step guide below or call us on 03000 290904 for help with any specific query.

1. Decide on a possible date and time of year for your ceremony.
2. Call us on 03000 290904 to see if the dates are available.
3. Book a site visit to come and view the rooms and make a provisional booking if required.
4. Call the Brighton Register Office on 01273 292016 to check if they have the date and times available.  If yes, book the date with them also.
5. When you have decided to go ahead with the booking write to the Royal Pavilion (Functions Team, The Royal Pavilion, 4-5 Pavilion Buildings, Brighton BN1 1EE) confirming both of your names and the date of your ceremony.
6. Contact your local Register Office (nearest to where you both live) to book an appointment to give notice.  This costs approximately £30 each and you must both attend the appointment.  NB This must be done no less than 16 days prior to the ceremony date.
7. On receipt of your hiring agreement from the Royal Pavilion, sign and return it.
8. Send a deposit of one third of the total booking fee to the Royal Pavilion (all cheques should be made payable to ‘Brighton & Hove City Council’).
9. Approximately four weeks prior to your ceremony pay the final balance to the Royal Pavilion.
10. Approximately one week prior, contact the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Register Office to go through final details before your ceremony.
