Win a ceremony at Melton open day
Couples have a chance to win a wedding or civil partnership ceremony, if they attend an open day at Melton’s register office.
Leicestershire County Council is staging a register office open day at the civic offices at Station Approach, Burton Street, Melton, from 10am-4pm on Saturday (March 3rd).
The event will highlight:
- Beautiful traditional and contemporary ceremony rooms, to suit everyone’s budget
- A range of ceremony options, including bridesmaids and relatives giving you away, your own photographer and your own music
- A range of other ceremonies, such as renewal of vows and baby naming ceremonies
Diane Reed, registration services manager for the county council, said: “This is a great chance for budding couples to meet our staff and see how attractive our latest ceremony rooms are.
“Couples who attend these events also have a chance of winning a ceremony in a county council register office.”
It’s all part of a package of improvements taking place to the council’s registration service. The county council is currently working with North West Leicestershire District Council to open a new register office in the district council’s HQ in Hotel Street, Coalville, later this year.
Byron Rhodes, cabinet member for property, said: “By working with our district council colleagues, we can share offices to provide better facilities at more convenient locations for the public.
“This is helping the county council to save £850,000 per year, by having fewer, but better, offices.”
