The Gatehouse at St Albans Register Office is one of the most sought after civil cermony venues in the UK. The stunning Victorian building was originally the governor’s residence of a prison and is a unique setting for any ceremony.

The ceremony room is situated on the ground floor and has been furnished in an elegant, neutral palatte to reflect the building’s historic character.

The Gatehouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens which feature a striking 1840 siege cannon.

The original prison doors and walls, which have featured in many television and film productions, provide a picturesque and unusual backdrop for photographs.
