The Kingslea Suite is the perfect venue for all types of civil ceremonies, the room has been specially commissioned, with elegant decor and luxurious features and fittings.
The Kingslea suite can seat up to 80 people, and has full disabled access. We also have flower displays to add the finishing touch.
We will provide you with an information pack with the details of the services we offer and information and advice for choosing readings, poetry and music. You will be given a ceremony guide for you to complete, with your selections including a choice of vows, which must be returned to the register office no later than four weeks before your ceremony date.
To enhance the ceremony, you can have your own choice of music. Just provide us with a list and we will do the rest. You can also have your own readings and poetry. Please note that your choice must not have any religious connotations and that either you or your guests must read out your choice of literature or poetry.
There is also a small private room for use before the ceremony.
There are plenty of choices within the grounds of Buile Hill Park and the mansion itself for your photographs.
Parking facilities are available for all guests within the visitors car park.
To ensure your ceremony runs smoothly we respectfully ask that all parties to the ceremony including the couple to be married arrive no later than fifteen minutes before your ceremony time. This is to ensure all the legal requirements are adhered to prior to your ceremony. Any parties arriving late could result in your ceremony choices being omitted from your service or even postponement of your ceremony.
If you need any assistance in completing your ceremony guide, please contact our trained registrars who will be happy to assist by emailing marriages@salford.gov.uk.
