Perfect Timimg

IN
To ensure perfect timing on the day , we would recommend that you , or one of your family or trusted friends , does a dry run on the journey time a week or so before the wedding day , at the same time and day of the week , to check for any possible issues .
THIS INCREASINGLY BUSY
WORLD , TRAFFIC JAMS OR TIGHT
SCHEDULES BY CAR HIRE COMPANIES CAN ALL CREATE TIME DELAYS ON
YOUR BIG DAY .

Please remember that if the car is taking the Bridesmaids / Page Boys first and then returning , you will need to factor this into your timings , as the journey back from the wedding venue may take longer than the journey there .
Where possible , we would suggest that the Groom / Partner is at the venue a minimum of half an hour before the ceremony , ready to meet the Registrars in the ceremony room . If the Bride / Partner then arrives around 15 minutes before the allocated starting time , this allows for a couple of photographs with the car and means that , if you plan not to see each other until the ceremony begins , this is easier to orchestrate .
For couples who may be changing at the venue , the Registrar completing the paperwork will want to see you and check your details at least 15 minutes prior to the ceremony , and so we would ask you to ensure that you are fully dressed , with your hair and / or make-up completed , in order to be able to concentrate fully on these important legal checks . A fee will apply to correct the details on a marriage certificate after the ceremony so please take the time to check it carefully .
