Chelmsford Registry Office's best kept secret


I have to be honest, Chelmsford Registry Office isn't the most setting for a wedding. The room itself is lovely and all the registrars I met there couldn't be more kind but it's set in a functional municipal building with little charm. Just outside the actual ceremony room is a waiting area for other council business, so as and your guests wait for your turn, people are coming back and forth with pushchairs with their own agenda. BUT... it does have a pretty special secret up it's sleeve!


Chelmsford Cathedral is the backdrop for your wedding photos


It's best kept secret is the stunning cathedral and garden, just a 5 minute walk away, offering the perfect canvas for capturing timeless moments.

"GARY HAS GONE ABOVE AND BEYOND ON OUR SPECIAL DAY, ARRIVING EARLY TO FIND THE BEST PLACES FOR BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, LOOKING AFTER OUR SMALL WEDDING PARTY, CAPTURING NATURAL MOMENTS WITHOUT GETTING IN THE WAY, AND MAKING SURE EVERYONE WAS COMFORTABLE WHILE POSING. THE PHOTOS CAME OUT ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, AND THE SLIDE SHOW WITH A SONG HE PICKED GOT A FEW OF US TEARING UP WITH EMOTIONS."
