Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Since opening at Priory Place, in May 2017 the
Registrars have been charging increased fees which had been
proposed as the premium fee at Cusworth Hall for Friday and
Saturday mornings. There has been no discrepancy between the
advertised fees and those charged to couples marrying at Priory
Place in the Priory Suite. There has been positive feedback on the
much improved ceremony rooms from couples and it is considered that
these fees represent good value in comparison with venues offered
by other local authorites.
The Section 151 Officer approved an increase
in wedding ceremony fees at Priory place as detailed in the
attached Officer Decision Record Form.
No other options were considered as the view
of the service is that the increased fees represent good value for
money, increases the income to the Council and positive feedback
has been received from service users.
