Wedding FAQ'S

Yes of course! Civil marriages are conducted by the Suffolk Registrars, so once you know that your date is available at High Lodge, you will need to contact them directly to ensure that they are also available. There are fees payable directly to the Registry Office for the ceremony and Wedding Notice. Suffolk Registrars can be contacted on 0345 6072050
