Within three-quarters of a mile of Harrogate Centre this prestigious Georgian building facing the Harrogate Stray opened in May 1998 following a major renovation and offers an unrivalled range of facilities.

The building includes two ceremony rooms, all newly refurbished, for parties ranging in size from four to 55 guests. Both rooms have music facilities to play CDs, and you are welcome to bring your own if we do not have what you want.

Guests can assemble in the waiting area, and there is a separate waiting room available for the couple to use either together or separately. After the ceremony there is a patio area where guests can take photographs of the happy couple. The 'Stray' area at the front provides an ideal background for photos with a large expanse of grass broken by mature trees.

There is a private parking area at the rear. On-street parking is available outside the office. Some areas require parking discs (available at reception) to be displayed.

Please telephone for an appointment.

We also attend Ripon library on Monday and Wednesday afternoons by appointment only, as well as the maternity ward at Harrogate Hospital.
