From our couples
"Dear Bury Registration Service,
We just wanted to say a huge and heartfelt thank you for making our wedding on Saturday so incredibly special.
From the very start, Sarah was absolutely wonderful – kind, thoughtful, and so helpful in making sure everything was in place. Her guidance and creative suggestions really helped us shape a ceremony that felt personal, meaningful, and completely “us.”
On the day itself, we couldn’t have asked for better than Jan and James. Their warmth, calm presence, and professionalism were just brilliant – they struck exactly the right tone and made us (and our guests) feel completely at ease and truly celebrated. It meant the world to be seen and supported so openly.
Thank you all for helping to create such a joyful and memorable day. We’ll treasure it forever.
With our warmest wishes and sincere thanks,
Tim & Mark
