Hi Adam,

How much does they charge you to book a pvt ceremony? Does it has to be only on weekdays?

Cheers,
Rob

Adam77 · Post by **Adam77** » Tue Oct 15, 2013 6:10 am

Hi britApp2013,

They charge 100 pounds for weekdays and 125 for Saturdays. It's Ealing Borough Council. I called yesterday and I was given the option to attend the private either on Wednesday (tomorrow) or Friday.

I hope that answers your question

I've applied on 28 Aug, rec'd the acknowledgement on 1/9/2013.

I rang them yesterday and lady said, when did you apply I mentioned the date I feel like without even looking in the system she said it is still in process.

I doubt on the provided information to be honest??

but could be right as I haven't rec'd anything yet.

Which number did you ring and what option did you select?

Or if someone could provide me the email ID to enquire about the status?

Thanks
