Perfect for what we wanted

We always wanted a registry office and the Gilstrap has so much character so it was perfect. We got married on a Thursday at 3pm, the enhanced ceremony and it was really cheap. We could customise with our own songs, readings and promises which was lovely. It's just what we needed. The venue also has the castle in the background, unfortunately we couldn't use castle grounds as there's construction currently but we still managed to get photos at the side and across the river that looks brilliant. Couldn't recommend enough, the registrars are lovely.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
